5 of the more festive Nintendo games you should revisit over the holidays
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, Switch, Switch 2, Wii U | 0 comments
If you celebrate Christmas, then you already know there’s nothing better than opening a brand-new video game on Christmas Day. Or getting a brand-new video game console in general! This year, a whole new generation of players will receive Nintendo Switch 2 systems as holiday gifts – or maybe some additional games or accessories for those who already have one. For me personally, many of my favorite video game memories are associated with Christmas in some way, and I’m sure the same is true for those of you who have celebrated the holidays in the past as well.
So today, we’re going over some Nintendo games that I associate with the holiday season, and aspects of each one that make them special. As a note, not all of these games are inherently festive, because surprisingly few Nintendo games make specific references to Christmas or the holidays. But if you have any holiday memories with a video game not listed here, feel free to share in the comments down below.

Rogue Mega Rush strategy guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Rogue Mega Rush is a strong candidate for the toughest challenge in any Pokemon game. After you’ve completed Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game, its DLC story, and its postgame, you’ll unlock the ability to take on the Rogue Mega Rush challenge at Quasartico’s headquarters. For this challenge, you’ll have to defeat all 27 Rogue Mega Evolutions with the same team, a total of 3 full team heals, no items, and no breaks. Needless to say, that makes this pretty tough! Chances are, your in-game team is not even going to come close to cutting it. You’ll need a great deal of resources to construct a Rogue Mega Rush team, but the challenge can be made easier thanks to Annihilape and its ghostly fists. Since this is a boss rush of all of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s bosses, there are spoilers within, so be warned.
