Pokemon Legends: Z-A review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 16, 2025
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
In the modern day, Pokemon games are kind of tough to give a fair review to. As the world’s largest media franchise, the franchise is subject to a lot of scrutiny – which is understandable, given that both Scarlet and Violet and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl released in rather shoddy states. That being said, I don’t think it’s quite fair to write off the Pokemon series as a whole. Numerous leaks have indicated that Pokemon Legends: Z-A was actually supposed to launch in 2024, but that it was internally delayed to late 2025. That means the game most likely had around three years of development time, and assuming that’s true, it shows – Pokemon Legends: Z-A is up there with Pokemon Legends: Arceus as a real contender for the best Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch. It’s certainly not perfect – there are still classic Game Freak slip-ups here and there, but for the most part I think this is a much-needed step in the right direction for the franchise.

Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
The next big Pokemon game is here with Pokemon Legends: Z-A. This is a pretty notable release for multiple reasons. For one thing, each new Pokemon title from Game Freak is always an event. On top of that, this is the first proper Pokemon game we’re seeing on Nintendo Switch 2.
So if you’ve started up Pokemon Legends: Z-A, how are you feeling about it so far? What are you early impressions? Let us know in the comments.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Eternal Flower Floette location guide
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A that’s all about Eternal Flower Floette.
Pokemon Legends: Z-A is available now, and it actually doesn’t introduce a single new species of Pokemon. There are new Mega Evolutions, sure, but no truly all-new Pokemon. That’s okay, given that there are well over 1,000 species of Pokemon available right now. Legends Z-A does, however, introduce a new form of Pokemon that has been in the game’s code for over a decade, but completely unobtainable until now: Eternal Flower Floette. Indeed, it was first discovered hidden within Pokemon X and Y’s game code in 2013, but it was never made available – perhaps an event was canceled or the game’s story changed, but we don’t know for sure. Whichever the case may be, Eternal Flower Floette is now available in Pokemon Legends: Z-A. Just be prepared to work for it, because you have to clear the main story to even begin working your way towards it. There are story spoilers inside, so keep that in mind before you continue.

Nintendo talks about why Donkey Kong Bananza wouldn’t have been possible on Switch 1
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
In a previous interview, Nintendo confirmed that Donkey Kong Bananza was initially in development for Switch 1 before it was moved to Switch 2. In fact, we even got a screenshot showing how things looked on the older hardware. But now in another interview, we get to hear more about why Donkey Kong Bananza really wouldn’t have been possible on Nintendo Switch 1 at the end of the day – especially in its final state.
Donkey Kong Bananza generally runs at 60 frames per second on Nintendo Switch 2. On Switch 1, 30 FPS would have been the target – but it sounds like the team was having a tough time even reaching stable performance at that level. Even more interesting though, back when development was happening on Switch 1, Nintendo hadn’t made the lower layers yet and according to co-director Wataru Tanaka, “if we continued making the game like this all the way down it may not be possible.”
Below is our full translation of the Nintendo Dream interview excerpt with Tanaka, artist Daisuke Watanabe, and producer Kenta Motokura:
Yakuza team initially wondered if it’d be OK for Ichiban to be in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the highlights for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is its various collaborations, and one of these is for Yakuza’s Ichiban Kasuga. Creative director Masaru Kobayakawa recently shared a bit of backstory about the character’s inclusion in a recent interview with Famitsu.
Kobayakawa told the Japanese magazine that there was some initial hesitation from the Yakuza team about the collaboration. He said:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville fixed on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Those waiting for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville to be fixed on Nintendo Switch 2 will be happy to hear that they’re now both in working order. Download the latest updates to ensure that they’re running properly.
Both were previously broken on the console. Some Nintendo Switch 1 titles with issues on Switch 2 work, but may have specific issues. It was a different situation for these two titles though as Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville were previously said to be unsupported.
