[Rapid Review] Fresh Start
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 14, 2023
Developer: Awaken Realms
Publisher: Merge Games
Growing up, I never really believed that cleaning up could be a game. That was just a painfully transparent lie that my parents (no doubt inspired by Mary Poppins) told me in some effort to get me to tidy up, even knowing as I did that it was only going to get messed up again within five minutes. But as I grew older I learned that there was something very satisfying and rewarding about accomplishing a simple task, and Merge Games’ latest title, Fresh Start, aims to capitalize on that feeling through its cozy and relaxing gameplay. While it succeeds admirably on that front, it could have used a little more cleaning and polishing before it was brought over to the Switch, and the end result is a muddied experience that is tough to recommend.

Have you been curious as to how the team behind Detective Pikachu Returns decided which Pokemon to include? Director Yasunori Yanagisaw recently shared insight during an interview with ComicBook.
Many Pokemon will appear in Detective Pikachu Returns, but some will factor into the gameplay itself. For example, Growlithe lets players follow scents, Darmanitan can smash rocks, and Luxray is able to peer through walls. But many additional Pokemon will appear in the environments players can explore.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder pre-order bonus guide
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is expected to be one of Nintendo’s biggest Switch games of 2023, and we’re putting together a post to keep track of all pre-order details including bonus information. If retailers are planning any offers, we should be hearing about that closer to the official release later in the year.
If we’re strictly talking about the brand new side-scrolling games, the Super Mario Bros. series has been missing since New Super Mario Bros. U on Wii U – unless you count the Luigi U DLC or Switch port. It’s been described as an “evolution.” The hook this time around are Wonder Flowers, which mix things up by changing certain things like having pipes come alive. Also new is the Elephant Mario power-up and the inclusion of Daisy as a playable character.

Original (9/21): Nintendo just issued a brand new overview trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Currently available in Japanese, the video covers the story, playable character, power-ups, badge system, online support, and more. It goes over much of what we already saw in the Super Mario Bros.
