Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Videos | 0 comments
It’s been a long wait for Schildmaid MX on Nintendo Switch, but the game has a release date. We have confirmation that it’s planned for November 26, 2025.
Schildmaid MX was announced for Nintendo Switch almost three years ago – we heard about it at the very start of 2023. While it was planned for that year, obviously it took much longer time to launch.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A Yveltal location guide
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Yveltal, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.
As you might expect, you won’t be able to catch Yveltal until you clear the game’s main story. If you’re rushing, you can reach the final boss within 20 hours or so, tacking on a few extra hours if you’re clearing side content along the way. Since Pokemon Legends: Z-A forces the player to use autosave, it is actually impossible to fail catching Yveltal. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and ask you to try again. As a cover art Legendary Pokemon, Yveltal has a low catch rate. Expect this one to take a while!

Pokemon Legends: Z-A review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2 (reviewed), Switch
Release date: October 16, 2025
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher: Nintendo
In the modern day, Pokemon games are kind of tough to give a fair review to. As the world’s largest media franchise, the franchise is subject to a lot of scrutiny – which is understandable, given that both Scarlet and Violet and Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl released in rather shoddy states. That being said, I don’t think it’s quite fair to write off the Pokemon series as a whole. Numerous leaks have indicated that Pokemon Legends: Z-A was actually supposed to launch in 2024, but that it was internally delayed to late 2025. That means the game most likely had around three years of development time, and assuming that’s true, it shows – Pokemon Legends: Z-A is up there with Pokemon Legends: Arceus as a real contender for the best Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch. It’s certainly not perfect – there are still classic Game Freak slip-ups here and there, but for the most part I think this is a much-needed step in the right direction for the franchise.
