Gouging Fire location in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
With our latest Pokemon Scarlet and Violet guide, we’ll get into the specific location as to where you can find Gouging Fire as part of The Indigo Disk DLC.
Gouging Fire is the new past Paradox form of Entei, and it’s available in Area Zero in the DLC. However, this one is actually a Scarlet exclusive. You can only catch one Gouging Fire per save file, unfortunately, and you’ll need to have caught at least 200 Pokemon for your Blueberry Academy Pokedex. From there, you can talk to Perrin in the Savanna biome of the Terarium to start a postgame quest that takes you back to Area Zero – and this is where you can catch both Gouging Fire and Raging Bolt.

Earlier this month, Nintendo Everything dropped by the Day of The Devs indie showcase event in Los Angeles to demo some upcoming Switch games from small teams all over the globe. We played a staggering variety of games and had a chance to chat with some of the developers behind unique titles like Dome-King Cabbage and Resistor, and will be publishing dedicated previews for some of these games over the coming week; Still, with more games present on the show-floor than we could dream of covering individually, we thought we’d compile a list of some smaller titles that might not be on your radar yet. Here are six Switch-bound indies we played at Day of the Devs 2023 to keep an eye on!

Super Mario Bros. Wonder devs discuss taking out the series’ timer
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
In this week’s issue of Famitsu, a couple of developers behind Super Mario Bros. Wonder discussed the decision to remove the timer. Producer Takashi Tezuka and director Shiro Mouri chimed in.
The time limit has been a staple of the side-scrolling series since the very original game. However, Super Mario Bros. Wonder mixed up a number of aspects to the classic formula, and taking that out was one of those changes.
[Preview] Hands-on with Resistor, an ambitious racing RPG
Posted on 4 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It feels like racing games are often excused from needing to tell stories; even as players, we’ve been trained to expect little more from the genre than schlocky tales of midnight street racing, if there’s even any context to the action at all. That can be just fine as many players only care about the feel of the driving, but there’s so much potential for fresh ideas. That’s why I’m curious about Resistor, an upcoming racing RPG whose lead developer, Violet McVinnie, previously worked on cinematics and narrative for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. There’s a lot of potential for Resistor to be something unique, and while my brief demo only let me preview a small slice of the game, I’m hopeful it will prove that racing games can indeed tell deeper stories than they typically do.
