Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection update 2.0.0

Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection just released its latest update, which is version 2.0.0. The patch can be downloaded for Sons of Liberty and Snake Eater.

The main thing here is that there are new controller settings that allow for more freedom. Unfortunately though, Nintendo Switch is missing out on much of what other platforms are getting. Konami implemented various settings for other platforms including resolution and upscaling. However, these options are not available on Nintendo Switch.

GTA Trilogy Grove Street credits removal response

Grove Street Games, the original developer behind Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition, has responded to being removed from the credits.

Rockstar issued a significant update for each of the titles this week. But aside from the improvements, it was discovered that Grove Street Games is no longer credited on the initial boot screen. While the company wasn’t involved more recently, Grove Street did work on the original console release.

This week’s expanded Japanese software sales are as follows:

Earlier this year, it was reported that James “Archbox” Williams was one of two people Nintendo was suing over Switch piracy. New details have now emerged about how Williams was tracked down, which involved repairs and Reddit.

Game File uncovered information about the case from court filings. Things begin in 2023 when Nintendo hired Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp to investigate online stores for pirated Switch games. That led to the discovery of Archbox, and based on Reddit postings including ones in the SwitchPirates and Phoenix communities, the law firm learned that he lived near Phoenix, Arizona and had attended Midwestern University.


It's Dorrie side quest Mario Luigi Brothership

Today, we’re looking at It’s Dorrie, the third missable side quest in Mario & Luigi Brothership. This follows Arc’s Secret and Zokket’s Schemes, the first two missable side quests that become unavailable after you advance the story. This third side quest is available just before clearing the second Great Lighthouse, which comes roughly 12 hours into the game or so. If you’re not at that point and want to avoid story spoilers, it may be best to bookmark this page and come back once you start hearing about the second Great Lighthouse.

Beyblade X XONE English

There was a bit of a surprise surrounding Beyblade X: XONE this week, as the game ended up seeing a worldwide release with full English support.

FuRyu originally unveiled the Nintendo Switch game back in May. However, that reveal only indicated that a Japanese launch was happening. So it certainly came as a surprise that as we were browsing the Nintendo eShop, we happened to notice an English version of Beyblade X: XONE. The game can be purchased in both North America and Europe.

Sugardew Island physical

We have an update on Sugardew Island, including news about a delay and physical release for Nintendo Switch.

When we heard about Sugardew Island towards the start of the year, it was planned for Q2. That target was ultimately not met, and it’s now been announced that the game has been delayed to early 2025. A reason for the delay was not provided.

Sakuna Chronicles Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation

Marvelous and Edelweiss just unveiled Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation, a new game tying in with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. As of now there’s no word on a release window or supported platforms. That said, given the success of Sakuna on Switch, we should be expecting Nintendo support here.

Not much has been said of the project as of now. According to Marvelous, it “is an all-new spin-off story focused on the brilliant Princess Kokorowa, Sakuna’s close friend, who is a high-ranking goddess presiding over wheels and inventions from her heavenly home.” Further details will follow later.

The latest Japanese hardware sales from Famitsu are as follows:
