List of all Switch demos
Posted on 2 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 coin farming guide
Posted on 2 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Super Mario Galaxy 2 is inherently more of a grind than its predecessor. Both games require collecting 9,999 Star Bits for true 100% completion, but only Super Mario Galaxy 2 requires collecting 9,999 coins – its predecessor doesn’t keep score of your total collected coins. Coins are generally much more difficult to farm than Star Bits because if you lose a life during a level, you lose all of your collected coins up until that point (whereas you keep your Star Bits). Fortunately, there’s a very easy coin farming method in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that will get you well over 500 coins within a matter of minutes. Just don’t lose a life!

Donkey Kong Bananza limited-time Emerald Rush event guide
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Donkey Kong Bananza’s first limited-time Emerald Rush event is live, and we’ve got some tips and tricks so you can get all of its rewards in one go.
A while back, we compiled an even larger collection of tips and tricks for Emerald Rush. Those still apply here, so we’d highly recommend reading it in case you need to brush up on your skills. Fortunately, this event is actually far easier than getting an emerald medal on the highest difficulty of any given stage. To obtain the exclusive Enguarde and Kong Bananza statues, you’ll need to collect 1 million emeralds in a single round. That sounds daunting, but the reason this event is easier is because all of the emerald perks that appear revolve around chips. That means every single emerald perk you choose will actually be helpful – unlike non-event Emerald Rush runs, where you have to sift through dozens of bonuses that don’t immediately bring you any benefit.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Shiny Charm 1000 battles guide
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’re back today with another guide on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time covering how to quickly reach the 1000 battles needed for the Shiny Charm.
Getting the Shiny Charm in Pokemon Legends: Z-A is fairly simple: complete all of Mable’s research tasks. That doesn’t mean it’s easy, though – many of these research tasks are purposefully repetitive to prevent you from getting the coveted Shiny Charm too early. These are all self-explanatory for the most part; many of the tasks will have you catching Pokemon of a certain type until you’ve caught 50 of every type in the game. The final task most players will need to complete is to win 1000 trainer battles, which as you might expect, takes a very long time. We’ve compiled a list of tips that will hopefully make those 1000 battles pass faster.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Zygarde location guide
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’ve sharing another Pokemon Legends: Z-A location guide, this time for Zygarde.
It’s been over a week since the release of the game, and we assume some of you might be wondering how to catch Zygarde, the game’s titular Legendary Pokemon. As you might expect, Zygarde is the final Legendary Pokemon available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and you’ll need to clear the main story in order to access it. It’s a guaranteed capture, though, which means you can use any Poke Ball you want with no chance of failure. It also means you definitely shouldn’t use a Master Ball.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A The World’s Greatest Pikachu quest guide
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those playing Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we have a guide specifically for The World’s Greatest Pikachu quest.
Most of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s side quests are self-explanatory. Technically, this one is too – but despite being centered around a fairly weak Pokemon, The World’s Greatest Pikachu is actually one of the tougher missions you’ll take on. You’ll be able to accept this mission in Rouge Sector 1’s battle court, in which you’ll need to fight and defeat a grade-schooler’s Pikachu who he claims is the strongest in the world. Indeed, there’s one problem here: this Pikachu is Level 66 and has a Light Ball, and you can’t obtain a Light Ball of your own until you finish this mission. Here’s how we cleared it.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Xerneas location guide
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Xerneas, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.
As a Legendary Pokemon, it takes a while before you can catch Xerneas – more specifically, you’ll have to clear Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s main story. That should take somewhere around 20 hours if you’re rushing, with a few extra hours tacked on if you take on side quests. Since the game forces autosave to be left on, it’s impossible to fail Xerneas. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and the mission won’t be cleared until you catch it. That may take a while, though – Xerneas traditionally has a low catch rate!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Yveltal location guide
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Yveltal, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.
As you might expect, you won’t be able to catch Yveltal until you clear the game’s main story. If you’re rushing, you can reach the final boss within 20 hours or so, tacking on a few extra hours if you’re clearing side content along the way. Since Pokemon Legends: Z-A forces the player to use autosave, it is actually impossible to fail catching Yveltal. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and ask you to try again. As a cover art Legendary Pokemon, Yveltal has a low catch rate. Expect this one to take a while!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Eternal Flower Floette location guide
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A that’s all about Eternal Flower Floette.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is available now, and it actually doesn’t introduce a single new species of Pokemon. There are new Mega Evolutions, sure, but no truly all-new Pokemon. That’s okay, given that there are well over 1,000 species of Pokemon available right now. Legends Z-A does, however, introduce a new form of Pokemon that has been in the game’s code for over a decade, but completely unobtainable until now: Eternal Flower Floette. Indeed, it was first discovered hidden within Pokemon X and Y’s game code in 2013, but it was never made available – perhaps an event was canceled or the game’s story changed, but we don’t know for sure. Whichever the case may be, Eternal Flower Floette is now available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Just be prepared to work for it, because you have to clear the main story to even begin working your way towards it. There are story spoilers inside, so keep that in mind before you continue.

How to get Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those now getting their hands on Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we have a new guide to tell you how to get Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie.
These three creatures were the starter Pokemon in the Kalos region when Pokemon X and Y first released over ten years ago. In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Chikorita, Tepig, and Totodile are the starter Pokemon instead. That doesn’t mean you can’t get the Kalos starters in this game, though – in fact, you can get all three of them after playing the game for just a few hours.
