Genshin Impact details character Noelle
Posted on 4 years ago by Elias in Switch | 0 comments
New character details have arrived for Noelle from Genshin Impact, coming surprisingly soon after the last reveal. Learn more below:
Noelle (voiced by ???)Chivalric Blossom
Maid of Favonius
Vision: Geo
Constellation: Parma Cordis
Genshin ImpactMany people in Mondstadt think there’s something a little bit magical about Noelle: She seems to have the ability to be everywhere at once, and to do absolutely anything she sets her mind to.
Whether it’s a Knights of Favonius dinner party, a winery banquet, or just an ordinary barbecue, Noelle is a whirlwind of helpfulness that will burst through your door at the first sign of a problem and whisk it away for you.
It’s no wonder that people have taken to calling her the “Wondermaid.”
But ask Noelle and she’ll tell you there’s nothing wondrous about the way she works, let alone magical. She just takes pride in her work and is constantly in pursuit of perfection.
“Nothing more, nothing less. Just as it should be, and not as it should not be.”

UK sales for February 2020
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
New sales data is in from the UK for the month of February 2020.
Switch was the best-selling console of the month, with the console’s neon version performing the best. However, GamesIndustry points out that the system’s sales are flat year-on-year. If we’re only looking at physical software sales, Nintendo would place first with a 19.6 percent share. The Dark Samus amiibo was also the most successful toys-to-life product.
Here’s a look at the best-selling games of February:
[Review] La-Mulana 1 & 2
Posted on 4 years ago by Campbell(@CampbellSGill) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: March 17, 2020
Developer: Nigoro / Playism
Publisher: NIS America
It seems like every other game released lately is a retro throwback to the golden gaming days of the past, just with all the rough edges smoothed out. La-Mulana 1 and 2 are a bit different. This infamous pair of puzzle games is designed in the vein of classic PC adventure and puzzle games on the MSX – rough edges included. Whereas most throwbacks tend to tone down the retro difficulty of their inspirations, La Mulana thrives on it. Make no mistake: La-Mulana 1 and 2 are perhaps two of the most challenging puzzle games ever created. While this will likely prove overwhelming for many players, those who long for the incredible payoff that come with overcoming the absurd challenges of La-Mulana’s puzzles will be more than satisfied.
