Super Mario RPG reviews

Super Mario RPG is just about to get a big remake on Switch, and Nintendo has now lifted the official embargo on reviews. It’s the company’s last big release of 2023.

Super Mario RPG originally came out on the SNES, and the development team decided to fully upgrade the visuals. There are also some new elements this time around such as cinematics, the three-character Triple Move, powered-up bosses that can be challenged after beating the game, an updated soundtrack, and more.

Konami has come out with one of the first post-launch updates for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1, with version 1.3.0 now available.

The company has addressed various issues with the package. All of the games have been touched up to different degrees.

Hogwarts Legacy launch trailer

Original (11/13): A new launch trailer has come in for the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy. Interestingly enough, the video comes from Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube channel. We’ll update this post if an English equivalent is published.

Nintendo Black Friday 2023

Original (11/6): Nintendo has announced its Switch Black Friday offers and Cyber Deals sale for the 2023 holiday season with bundles and discounts.

The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate bundle, which leaked last night, has now been officially announced. It includes the system, full game download, and three-month Nintendo Switch Online subscription. The Joy-Con controllers feature a design inspired by Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. At $350, you’ll be getting $68 in savings. The bundle launches on November 19, 2023.

Hogwarts Legacy open world

Now that Hogwarts Legacy has launched on Switch, we’re learning more about changes made to the game – including the biggest one which involves the removal of the open world.

On other platforms, the title can be explored fully without loading screens. The Switch version is a different story, however. Visit the starting area of Hogsmeade and you’ll actually be greeted to a loading screen, so you’ll now be exploring interconnected areas instead. Additionally, each shop contains a loading screen of its own – again, this was seamless on other platforms.

Bandai Namco has started distribution of a new version 1.0.3 update for Baten Kaitos I & II HD Remaster.

The two titles have both addressed some bugs. Additionally, Bandai Namco promises stability and usability improvements.
