Mortal Kombat 1 update

Mortal Kombat 1 is starting to launch, and we have the patch notes for a day-one update. Some players can get early access through the game’s Premium Edition.

You’ll want to download the update as it enables both the story campaign and online gameplay, among other elements. Bug fixes are also included.

Here’s the full rundown:

Fae Farm copper ore

Paper Mario Thousand Year Door graphics comparison

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is returning on Switch next year, and a new graphics comparison video shows how it stacks up to the original.

The first thing you’ll notice is that Nintendo has updated some assets. Textures have been enhanced for the HD era. Geometry has increased as well, which is something you can notice with certain objects like the trees. It doesn’t end there though, as with animations, some are brand new while others were updated. Other adjustments are improvements relate to the lighting, 16:9 aspect ratio (instead of 4:3), and more.

fae farm arugula

In this guide for Fae Farm we’ll tell you what arugula is and where to find it so that you can continue your journey in the land of Azoria.

Super Mario RPG Easy Mode SNES music

Nintendo has revealed even more details about what’s new in the Switch remake of Super Mario RPG, including an Easy Mode and SNES music option. This comes from the newly-opened Japanese website.

For those who are more interested in the story and aren’t as interested in battles (or a tough experience), they’ll be able to select Easy Mode – rather than the Normal Mode. You can switch between the two modes at any time.

Three upcoming, high-profile Switch games have now received demos – specifically Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, Star Ocean: The Second Story R, and Silent Hope.

Square Enix says that for Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince, players will be able to transfer the monsters in their main party and reserves into the full game. The same holds true for the Star Ocean demo, which lets players start their adventure and experience the opening hours of the game. Finally, for Silent Hope, the entire first level of the Abyss is included.

Splatoon 3 update 5.0.1

Splatoon 3 is set to receive another update today with the game moving up to version 5.0.1. Nintendo has already issued the patch notes.

The update adds an Off the Hook banner for those who purchase DLC content. It also includes an adjustment and several fixes.
