SEGA not currently planning a standalone Chao Garden game
Posted on 10 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The Chao Garden is something that’s beloved among SEGA fans in the Sonic the Hedgehog title, but that feature won’t be getting its own standalone game in the near future.
Takashi Iizuka, the boss of Sonic Team, ruled out the possibility in a recent interview. He said that Chao Garden is something that it’s a piece of Sonic Adventure, and doesn’t seem to believe it’d make sense to “just break it off and make it a thing.” Fan interest in Sonic Adventure 3 was also again acknowledged.

The hardest Shiny Pokemon to get, ranked
Posted on 10 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
Today, we’re listing off some of the hardest Shiny Pokemon to get. Most of these are from games prior to the Switch generation, but can still be transferred over to modern games.
At the time of writing, Pokemon Bank is still open for business – at least for those who’ve already downloaded it. In the past, we’ve discussed easy Shiny hunts you can do on DS and 3DS-generation Pokemon games. But how about some of the most difficult? Indeed, all of the Pokemon games prior to X and Y have a decreased Shiny rate of 1 in 8000 (roughly), which means there are plenty of tough and time-consuming Shiny hunts to do before Pokemon Bank eventually closes. Get ready for some tough hunts!

Majora’s Mask is one of the more iconic elements of the Zelda series. Now as part of an interview with Gaming Boulevard, we get to hear a bit about how it was created.
Takaya Imamura had a legendary career at Nintendo where he was an artist on many different games and franchises, including Star Fox, F-Zero, and yes, The Legend of Zelda. According to Imamura, Majora’s Mask was about differentiating the game from Ocarina of Time, and the mask itself took some inspiration from Asian tribes.

Ideas for the future of Xenoblade Chronicles
Posted on 10 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
By all (or at least most) accounts, the Xenoblade series sort of peaked with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its DLC, Future Redeemed. The base game told a completely new story that could technically be understood without playing the prior games (but was enhanced by doing so) while also tying together the futures of the worlds from Xenoblade Chronicles and its sequel. Without going into too much detail right off the bat, Xenoblade 3’s ending is said to have wrapped up the series – or at least the Klaus trilogy. That being said, there are a few loose ends introduced in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that weren’t fully tied up – and today, we’re going over which of these plot points we can expect to see in future games, if any at all. Do keep in mind that there are spoilers ahead.
