[Let’s Talk] What do you expect from Switch in 2025?
Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Thus far, Nintendo has said very little about Switch’s successor. It’ll be announced by March 2025… and that’s all we know.
While we wait for Switch 2, the current Switch is going strong. Although Nintendo’s first half of the year was a bit on the weaker side in terms of software, the second half is making up for that. Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and Super Mario Party Jamboree are coming in the months ahead.

Boo Locations guide – Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 7 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.
Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.

Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A trio of games have just joined the GBA section of the Nintendo Switch Online service, and the full set is dedicated to the Starfy series. They can be accessed if you’re a member of the Expansion Pack tier.
Densetsu no Starfy, Densetsu no Starfy 2, and Densetsu no Starfy 3 are all available worldwide. This is significant as these titles were never previously released outside of Japan. The Legendary Starfy on DS is the only entry in the series that made it to the west.
