The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom appears to include a Hero Mode featuring a higher level of difficulty. That’s based on a new playable version of the game featured at PAX West 2024.
Fans have been going hands-on with the game and spotted the detail. It looks like that Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will let players choose between Hero and Normal Mode difficulties. As of now it’s unclear if the final version will let players access the option right away or requires an unlock.

Ideas for the future of Xenoblade Chronicles
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
By all (or at least most) accounts, the Xenoblade series sort of peaked with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and its DLC, Future Redeemed. The base game told a completely new story that could technically be understood without playing the prior games (but was enhanced by doing so) while also tying together the futures of the worlds from Xenoblade Chronicles and its sequel. Without going into too much detail right off the bat, Xenoblade 3’s ending is said to have wrapped up the series – or at least the Klaus trilogy. That being said, there are a few loose ends introduced in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 that weren’t fully tied up – and today, we’re going over which of these plot points we can expect to see in future games, if any at all. Do keep in mind that there are spoilers ahead.

[Let’s Talk] Indie World Showcase + Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase reactions
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Nintendo fans tend to go by the company’s patterns, but every now and then, the company throws a curveball. That’s exactly what happened this week. We’re generally used to getting a Nintendo Direct before the Tokyo Game Show in September, but we instead saw a new presentation to end August. On top of that, it was shown right after an Indie World Showcase. We’re not used to seeing back to back presentations from Nintendo, but again, you can’t always predict what the Big N will do.
There were so many games between the two presentations – over forty in fact – that we can’t possibly mention them all here. For the Indie World Showcase through, a big highlight was the announcement and release of Pizza Tower. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase featured Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Castlevania Dominus Collection, The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st, Atelier Yumia, Tales of Graces f Remastered, Tetris Forever, MySims: Cozy Bundle, Star Overdrive, and more.

Yakuza Kiwami is digital-only on Switch, no physical release
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
SEGA announced Yakuza Kiwami for Switch this week, but since then, shared the news that it’s a digital-only release and there won’t be a physical version of any sort.
Yakuza is finally heading to Switch for the first time. However, digital will be your only option – even in Japan. The good news is that SEGA seems to be pricing the game appropriately, and it will only cost $20.
