Tetris Forever review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 2 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: November 12, 2024
Developer: Digital Eclipse
Publisher: Digital Eclipse
It’s easy to take Tetris for granted. Tetris games have been released on, apparently, over 65 different devices. Many have described it as the perfect puzzle game. Very smart scientists have even performed psychological studies about how Tetris affects the human brain. It has, incredibly, been about 40 years since the release of the very first Tetris title. To help celebrate such a monumental anniversary, the historians at developer and publisher Digital Eclipse are releasing Tetris Forever, a package that’s as much a digital museum as it is a compilation of retro Tetris games. While it’s hard to argue with the core quality of the experiences available in the package, overall I found the focus of Tetris Forever to be narrower than I had hoped – not just in terms of the history being shared, but the games themselves. It’s a good glimpse into the origins of this massive franchise, but not quite the definitive Tetris package it could have been.

Nintendo shuts down Switch emulator Ryujinx

October 1: Nintendo has gone after another Switch emulator, and this time it’s Ryujinx that’s shutting down.
A statement was shared about the situation on the official Discord channel. Nintendo apparently pressured creator gdkchan and “offered an agreement to stop working on the project, remove the organization and all related assets he’s in control of.” Essentially, that means the emulator is now dead.
Fans began to notice that something was amiss after the Github page for the Ryujinx Switch emulator disappeared. Then just a few minutes ago, the statement was posted on Discord. You can read that in full below.

Zokket’s Schemes side quest guide in Mario & Luigi: Brothership
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Zokket’s Schemes is another one of Mario & Luigi: Brothership’s few missing side quests. It’s generally the second missable quest you’ll be able to take on within the game’s story, and as usual we’d recommend clearing it as soon as possible (as advancing the main story will render it impossible to finish). Here’s how to activate the Zokket’s Schemes side quest and what you get from completing it. There are very minor story spoilers within (area and location names), so make sure you’re okay with that before you continue.
