[Preview] Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It always seems to happen the same way: just when I think I’m ready to take a break from playing big, sprawling JRPGs that threatens to suck up every ounce of my free time, along comes a game like Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that immediately makes me reconsider. After spending the past few years deep in development following an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, the turn-based RPG will finally land on Switch next spring and will hopefully help scratch the Suikoden itch that Konami has ignored for over a decade. I was fortunate to have a chance to demo the game in Los Angeles recently, and while I only got to experience a small sliver of the opening chunk of the game, I really enjoyed what bits of the story, combat, and exploration I played.

Glastrier and Spectrier location in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Glastrier and Spectrier are back in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC, and we have their locations right here.
As with all returning Legendary Pokemon introduced in The Indigo Disk, Glastrier and Spectrier unlock via Snacksworth, a character who appears at the entrance of Blueberry Academy after finishing the main story. Surprisingly enough, neither of these Pokemon are exclusive – you can catch both of them in the same game. To unlock their appearances, you’ll need to clear Blueberry Quests (BBQ’s for short), and every 10 quests you will receive a snack that activates a random Legendary Pokemon. You’ll also receive a vague hint as to where it’s located – but we’ve figured that part out for you.

For fans to have recognized our adventure in such an incredibly prosperous year for RPGs alongside new arrivals from the genre’s biggest franchises… we simply just cannot thank you enough for supporting us, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next for Sea of Stars.”

It originally released with only a retro display mode featuring a cozy, crunchy retro style that essentially emulated the 3DS display at 240p. However, now players can experience the game at full 1080p on a TV or 720p in handheld mode with the action still running at 60 frames per second.
