[Let’s Talk] What’s the best Nintendo-published Switch game?
Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
As each day goes by, we get closer and closer to Nintendo’s next console. It remains to be seen when exactly it’ll be announced and released, but by this time next year, the system is something many fans will be thinking a lot about.
As we wait for what’s next, let’s take a moment to think back on Nintendo’s current console. The company has put out a ton of games for Switch dating back to 2017, starting out with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Believe it or not, the Big N has published over 100 titles on Switch.
So what’s your favorite? Maybe you have an unconventional pick that not many would consider the best? Let us know in the comments.
Highlights from last week’s topic: What do you want to see next out of Monolith Soft?

I want a new game. Not a remake or remaster, and not a small game either. Another full blown Xenoblade 3 150+ hour game. And when it releases it will probably easily be my game of the year, just like Xenoblade 3 was in 2022.

Xenoblade Chronicles X 2!
Gimme that sci-fi urban mecha open world goodness 10 years later! I meant in the setting, but now I realize it came out in 2015, so either meaning is applicable. Future Redeemed tied all the shared Xeno-series together, while also insinuating that there were more narrative threads that haven’t been explored in that universe, so maybe one of those that isn’t terrestrial.

I still wanna see a XCX remake, but otherwise developing something new outside of the RPG genre would also be great. Monolith hasn’t done that (not counting the games that they only assisted with) since Disaster Day of Crisis and that was almost 16 years ago.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom confirms amiibo support with details

There was a little bit of speculation within the Zelda community about this previously, but Nintendo recently made it official that Echoes of Wisdom will support amiibo. That news comes from the official Japanese website.
Using a compatible figure will have a couple of effects. First, amiibo can provide items that can be used on your adventure. Nintendo also teased that you might be able to get different colors of clothing with an amiibo in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
[Review] Elrentaros Wanderings
Posted on 7 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: August 15, 2024
Developer: Hakama
Publisher: Red Art Games
Hakama may have only released a handful of games since their formation by Yoshifumi Hashimoto in 2018, but with Rune Factory 4 Special and Rune Factory 5 as two of their more noteworthy releases, it’s fair to say the focus is more on quality over quantity. Unfortunately, although their latest title Elrentaros Wanderings (previously known as Rear Sekai) has hints of their trademark creative brilliance, ultimately fails to deliver on almost every front.
