Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom director on what happened to the Sheikah tech from Breath of the Wild
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom builds on the mechanics and world of Breath of the Wild, but there are some elements that are absent such as the Sheikah Towers and Guardians. In their place are things like the Skyview Towers and new types of enemies we didn’t see in the previous title. But what happened to the Sheikah tech in Breath of the Wild anyway?
Hidemaro Fujibayashi, who was the director on Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild, offered up an explanation in an interview with The Telegraph. He explained that the Sheikah technology simply disappeared – which the people of Hyrule apparently saw. However, Fujibayashi said “it is considered a mystery.”
Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Angry Beavers spotlight trailer

Yet another Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 spotlight trailer has arrived, this time for the recently-confirmed Angry Beavers – and we’ve got a proper look at the moveset.
The Angry Beavers are a brand new addition to this entry. Both can switch out at any time – Daggett is about speed and combos while Norbert’s positives are with his superior range and strength. When their side specials or neutrals are used, the other beaver is called in for assistance. However, if one of the beavers gets hit after they’ve been called in for an assist, they’ll take some damage and can’t tag out for a few seconds. Both of their movesets are unique.

[Review] Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 28, 2023 (Europe) / December 5 (North America)
Developer: Big Bad Wolf
Publisher: Nacon
Vampire the Masquerade is a series that has been around for a surprisingly long time, lurking in the shadows of tabletop roleplaying games since the early 90s as part of the larger World of Darkness series. It has been adapted into video game format a few times over the years, and Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong is the third of these games to come to Nintendo’s console. Unfortunately, it has not been worth the extremely long wait, and is something I wouldn’t recommend to even the most avid fans of the series.
