NPR recently caught up with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone, who addressed the game’s future.
There are two sides to the coin here. First, Barone acknowledged that he has some caution as overloading the game with too much content, which could be “detrimental”. But even if he decides to end support at some point, he doesn’t want to definitively close the book – “even 50 years from now,” he said.

Mario Kart for Nintendo Switch 2 needs these new characters
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mario Kart 9 has been officially teased for Nintendo Switch 2, and we presumably won’t hear much about it until the full Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2. In the initial footage, a whopping 24 racer slots were shown on the track. That’s double the amount of racers per match in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. And with more drivers than ever present on the field all at once, Mario Kart 9 (which isn’t the game’s official name yet – it could wind up being Mario Kart 10 if we count Mario Kart Tour) needs more characters than ever to match. A while back, we talked about all sorts of crucial features Mario Kart 9 needs to succeed – but this time, we’re honing in on all the characters we want to see, no matter how obscure.

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD 100% completion checklist
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Donkey Kong games are notoriously difficult to 100 percent complete. In terms of fellow Nintendo Switch games, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is tough as nails if you’re going for full completion. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD follows this trend – there are tons of collectibles to find, over 80 levels to complete, a time attack mode that takes way too long to load, and an unlockable Mirror Mode that makes everything even more challenging. Take it from us – full 100 percent completion really isn’t worth it here – but if you’re up for the task anyway, here’s the checklist you’ll want to go by.

Lexar says it’s releasing Nintendo Switch 2-compatible 1TB microSD Express Card
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Lexar China made an announcement this week that it’s about to release a new microSD Express Card, but the important bit here is that it will apparently be compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.
Nintendo hasn’t made any announcements about its storage plans for the console. While there have been rumors pointing to possible microSD Express Card, as of now that’s yet to be confirmed. It’s interesting then that Lexar China has made this announcement and has reason to believe that its product will work on Nintendo’s new system. The company went as far as to say that it’s a “NS must-have”.
