Characters we could still see in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A few months back, we compiled a list of characters we’d like to see added to Kirby Air Riders. And fortunately, several of our picks actually came true – Marx, Taranza, Rocky, and Daroach were all revealed in the recent presentation held for the game. The same video also revealed that Kirby Air Riders won’t receive any DLC – a refreshing chance of pace to receive a complete game from day one, for sure, but it also means that the base game’s character roster will be final.
At the time of writing, we aren’t sure if Masahiro Sakurai has revealed every single character in Kirby Air Riders. During the game’s Direct, it was never clarified if everything during the presentation rounded out the roster Historically – and with the exception of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Sakurai tends to leave a couple of characters hidden for players to unlock. So today, we’re looking at a few remaining contenders that we could see in the game.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: November 6, 2025
Developer: Koei Tecmo
Publisher: Nintendo
It goes without saying that Hyrule Warriors is no doubt the most successful spin-off series The Legend of Zelda has ever seen. The original Hyrule Warriors was met with praise when it released on Wii U, and things have only gone up from there. More recently, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity released on Nintendo Switch. And though it received generally positive reviews, its performance was heavily criticized. To sum up Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, then – if you liked Age of Calamity, you’ll love this game. Though its performance isn’t perfect, it’s a huge step up from the previous title and offers tons of satisfying hack-and-slash gameplay.

The worst Pokemon in Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been out for a little while now, and players are starting to get involved in the game’s competitive scene. It looks much different than the turn-based combat of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – namely, Speed isn’t as important in the real-time battle system, which means Pokemon like Metagross, Excadrill, and Gyarados all rule the game at the moment. Even so, there are plenty of Pokemon that just don’t make the cut. Winning with these Pokemon online would be a real challenge!
