[Review] Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
Posted on 10 months ago by Elias in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: December 1, 2023
Developer: Square Enix / Tose
Publisher: Square Enix
There has been a resurgence of great turn-based RPGs over the last decade – the Switch itself becoming somewhat of a bastion for fans of long stories and level grinding, with no shortage of adventures to unwind with as the system moves ever onward in its lifespan. Monster taming games have been around for quite some time, emerging in 1987 with Megami Tensei, a mature-themed romp through a world of demons and pacts, but soon joined by more lighthearted franchises like Dragon Quest V’s monster recruiting mechanic, Pokemon’s Game Boy games launching to huge success, and the lesser known series Monster Rancher’s disc-related gimmick spurring many monster-taming fans to action placing every CD they could get their hands on into their PlayStation in order to spawn a new and potentially powerful creature. Dragon Quest Monsters’ titles play more like your classic castles and dragons adventure, just with a team you raise and strengthen a little differently than you might if you were playing something like Final Fantasy. The series now returns with Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, and players will get to see another side to a mainline game’s most evil villain character while simultaneously becoming a very powerful monster wrangler.

Gouging Fire location in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
Posted on 10 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
With our latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet guide, we’ll get into the specific location as to where you can find Gouging Fire as part of The Indigo Disk DLC.
Gouging Fire is the new past Paradox form of Entei, and it’s available in Area Zero in the DLC. However, this one is actually a Scarlet exclusive. You can only catch one Gouging Fire per save file, unfortunately, and you’ll need to have caught at least 200 Pokemon for your Blueberry Academy Pokedex. From there, you can talk to Perrin in the Savanna biome of the Terarium to start a postgame quest that takes you back to Area Zero – and this is where you can catch both Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt.
