Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
With Super Mario RPG finally set to return with a Switch remake this year, we’ve started up a guide to round up every notable pre-order bonus for the game ahead of the holiday season.
Super Mario RPG has only ever appeared on the Virtual Console and SNES Slassic, but now Nintendo is giving the game a full overhaul. Obviously, the graphics have been reworked (and there are special cinematics as well). Additionally, the title’s original composer is back on board to update the music.
As for the actual game, players will be going on a quest to save Star Road and stop the troublemaking Smithy Gang. Mario, Bowser, and Peach are in for the ride as well as fan-favorite Geno and Mallo.

[Review] Sonic Superstars
Posted on 1 year ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 17, 2023
Developer: Arzest / SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Few video game mascots are as instantly recognizable as Sonic the Hedgehog, and even fewer have had such a turbulent career. It often feels as though SEGA doesn’t quite know what it wants to do with the character, and as a result it’s difficult to know what to expect from each new title. Sonic Superstars is now the latest outing for the blue blur, and although it hearkens back to the beloved 2D Genesis games that kickstarted the franchise, there are several modern elements thrown in to shake up the gameplay, both for better and for worse.

Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Reptar spotlight trailer
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
The Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 character spotlights continue on, and we now have a video for Reptar that also gives a closer look at his moveset.
Reptar can use fiery breath, powerful attacks, brutal chomps, and even ice skates. His strength and size are his upsides, though that’s offset by very slow speed – including slower attacks. A lot of Reptar’s moves take up some of his flame meter including his grounded and aerial upcharge attacks plus some of his specials, though it fills up with other attacks.

All Captain Toad locations in Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Captain Toad plays a particularly helpful role in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and as such, we’ll fill you in on all of his locations. He’s hidden in five different spots around the world map, and when you find him, he gives you lots of Flower Coins. If you need a bunch of Flower Coins to purchase some badges or standees, it’s a good idea to seek out Captain Toad to receive some for free.
As mentioned, there are only five different Captain Toad locations. It’s important to note that you can only receive Flower Coins from Captain Toad the first time you speak to him at each of these locations. If you go back to see him, he won’t have anything else to give you.
