The most and least useful amiibo figures ever released
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
With confirmation that the Nintendo Switch 2 is backwards compatible with Switch software, it’s safe to assume that includes amiibo – and if that’s true, then it’s also safe to assume that Nintendo’s signature lineup of toys-to-life figurines isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. That being said, there are hundreds of amiibo figures to choose from, and that’s not even including amiibo cards. So today, we’re analyzing which specific figures are the most useful across many Nintendo games. And although we did look at eight of the most useless amiibo almost a year ago, we’ll also be determining the definitive most useless amiibo today.
List of all Switch demos
Posted on 3 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.
Steer clear of Xenoblade Chronicles X’s worst affinity quest
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in News, Switch | 0 comments
Earlier this week, Reddit user NeverGonnaGetBanned shared an extremely helpful tip on the Xenoblade Chronicles subreddit aimed at those playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for the first time. And it’s so helpful that we figured we’d share the tip here for visibility – it concerns Xenoblade Chronicles X’s affinity quests. You can only accept one of these at a time, and once you’ve accepted one, you must finish it before you start another affinity quest or a main story quest.

Xenoblade Chronicles X Welcome Back, Conner side quest guide
Posted on 4 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
For those playing Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, we have a new guide up for the Welcome Back, Conner side quest.
In the game, the story progress is tied to your survey rate, which you can increase by placing probes and completing side quests. The Welcome Back, Conner side quest is for the most part just as straightforward as the other early-game side quests. You’ll find an NPC in Primordia (we finished this quest in Chapter 3) who asks you to find a missing BLADE team member. By this point, you may have the Follow Ball item that clearly shows you where to go, so you’ll want to follow that trail for the most part until you find the missing member on a cliff. Where this quest gets a bit tricky is the next part – you need to retrieve a comms device that’s surrounded by very high-level enemies.
