Revisiting the four “worst” Kirby games
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, Switch, Switch eShop | 0 comments
If you’re deep into the Nintendo discourse sphere online, you might sometimes hear people say “Kirby has no bad games”. And to an extent, that’s definitely true – Kirby’s highs and lows aren’t as far apart compared to other Nintendo franchises. But is it really true that Kirby doesn’t have any bad games? A “bad game” could mean something different depending on who you talk to. It could mean that the game isn’t fun to play, or it could mean that the game is poor by Kirby standards, but not terrible objectively.
Regardless, today we’re looking at some of the less-loved entries in the Kirby series to see how they hold up today. One thing is true: Kirby doesn’t have any bad main series games. Even Kirby Star Allies, which is regarded as one of the weaker recent titles, isn’t bad – it’s inoffensive at worst. In other words, the Kirby games we’re talking about today aren’t main series games, but the smaller ones that tend to fly under the radar.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom timeline placement and lore additions
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda series is well-known for its rather convoluted timeline, and by extension, there’s a lot of interest in lore. Every time a new game in the series is released, fans get to work right away in trying to determine where on the timeline it may fall. For Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, this was an incredibly difficult task – the co-existence of Rito and Zora, for instance, makes it tough to find a specific placement for these two games. Previously, Nintendo shared an official timeline showing Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are completely separate. Echoes of Wisdom is now the newest game in the series, and there’s official confirmation that it’s part of the downfall timeline.
Today, we’re discussing the lore Echoes of Wisdom adds to the series, plus where it might be located on the timeline. Do keep in mind that we’ll be discussing heavy spoilers, so keep that in mind before moving forward.
