It’s been a big year for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, as tons of different manufacturers try to get in on the action with their own products. We’ve reviewed the Genki Attack Vector, the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the dbrand Killswitch. And after testing out all of these grips (and spending a crazy amount of money), we’ve finally found the best one. It took a while for Satisfye’s ZenGrip 2 to become available – shipping delays and such means that customers are only now receiving their item – but many have found that the wait was worth it. How does the ZenGrip 2 hold up against other options on the market?

In about a month, Nintendo Switch 2 will be getting one of its big holiday games in Kirby Air Riders. This week, director Masahiro Sakurai returned for a second Direct in which we were treated to a presentation that was about an hour long.

Even though this wasn’t the first Direct for the game, there was a massive amount here. Sakurai delved into various modes, features, options, and more. We even heard about things like additional amiibo and an online demo event. A helpful recap detailing everything shown can be found here.

Following this week’s Direct, are you sold on Kirby Air Riders? Do you plan on picking it up next month? Let us know in the comments.

A brand new method has been discovered in Pokemon Legends: Z-A that lets players clone shiny Pokemon, which is done by taking advantage of a glitch. This works presently, but note that there’s a strong chance that it will be patched out sometime soon.

Austin John Plays shared those findings in a new video today. It’s recommended to not keep both if you plan on using Pokemon Home – meaning you hold on to one, and trade the other. That’s because if you trade one away and keep one, they are not treated as clones. Pokemon Home has a clone check system.

Below are the steps for the Shiny Pokemon duplication glitch in Pokemon Legends: Z-A:

We’ve sharing another Pokemon Legends: Z-A location guide, this time for Zygarde.

It’s been over a week since the release of the game, and we assume some of you might be wondering how to catch Zygarde, the game’s titular Legendary Pokemon. As you might expect, Zygarde is the final Legendary Pokemon available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A, and you’ll need to clear the main story in order to access it. It’s a guaranteed capture, though, which means you can use any Poke Ball you want with no chance of failure. It also means you definitely shouldn’t use a Master Ball.

At this point, there aren’t many people who haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey. It first released in late 2017 as one of the Nintendo Switch’s premier first-year titles, and it was quickly met with critical acclaim. The game came during a time when fans felt the series was starting to stagnate. In 2016, you had titles like Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Super Mario Run, and Paper Mario: Color Splash – and while most weren’t bad, they all carried that same corporate Mario feeling. Even Super Mario 3D World, which is now widely regarded as a great game, was criticized at the time for its linearity and similarity to Super Mario 3D Land. Super Mario Odyssey was essentially Nintendo’s way of saying that new and fresh ideas were back on the table for the series.

For those playing Pokemon Legends: Z-A, we have a guide specifically for The World’s Greatest Pikachu quest.

Most of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s side quests are self-explanatory. Technically, this one is too – but despite being centered around a fairly weak Pokemon, The World’s Greatest Pikachu is actually one of the tougher missions you’ll take on. You’ll be able to accept this mission in Rouge Sector 1’s battle court, in which you’ll need to fight and defeat a grade-schooler’s Pikachu who he claims is the strongest in the world. Indeed, there’s one problem here: this Pikachu is Level 66 and has a Light Ball, and you can’t obtain a Light Ball of your own until you finish this mission. Here’s how we cleared it.
