Xenoblade 3 art book lore

The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 art book was released a few months back, and in addition to providing an in-depth look at character designs, it also provided a huge amount of lore via its included interviews. Xenoblade Chronicles games are famous for their lore, and all 3 numbered titles provide story tidbits at the end that sort of re-contextualize cutscenes from earlier in the game. The interviews included in the art book are with game director Tetsuya Takahashi, and a good chunk of the new lore he reveals in them re-contextualizes certain cutscenes from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in the same way. Today, we’re looking at the Xenoblade 3 art book and all of the new story details – and what they mean for the game’s overarching plot. This will contain full spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, and 3, so keep that in mind before you continue.

Thus far, Nintendo has said very little about Switch’s successor. It’ll be announced by March 2025… and that’s all we know.

While we wait for Switch 2, the current Switch is going strong. Although Nintendo’s first half of the year was a bit on the weaker side in terms of software, the second half is making up for that. Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and Super Mario Party Jamboree are coming in the months ahead.

Nintendo has updated the Japanese release schedule on Switch for the week of July 18, 2024. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:


Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus physical

Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus will be digital-only on Switch in the west at launch, but not in Japan (and Asia) as a physical release is planned in the region. Marvelous is producing a boxed version for fans.

Just like all Switch games, the physical version will be region-free. It can be played in English as well as Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Korean.

boo locations Luigi's Mansion 2 HD

Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.

Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.
