Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Set to release at retail
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo has announced the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass Set, which is a new retail release for the game. Fans can pick it up on October 6, 2023.
This is another odd release from Nintendo as it’s not a true physical release. It seems the original Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game is included, but the Booster Course Pass will be a download content. On the bright side, you’ll get a few physical goodies here – namely a set of four pins, set of five art cards (double sided) and set of ten sticker sheets.

[Review] Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 14, 2023
Developer: Monolith Soft / tri-Crescendo / logicalbeat
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Those who knew of Monolith Soft before their rise to fame with Xenoblade Chronicles will no doubt know them for their work on Xenosaga instead. Few will have heard of Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean and its prequel Baten Kaitos Origins, two titles that were released in the early 2000s on the Gamecube and were generally well-received, but failed to make a lasting impact with sales, and were largely forgotten about beyond occasional rumors of a third game being in the works or canceled that would surface from time-to-time over the years. Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster brings these two games to the Switch with enhanced visuals and quality of life features, and while both games are a product of the times and beginning to show their age in places, they hold up remarkably well and are worth experiencing for any fans of Monolith Soft’s later titles.
