Pokemon Legends Z-A Worst Pokemon

Pokemon Legends: Z-A has been out for a little while now, and players are starting to get involved in the game’s competitive scene. It looks much different than the turn-based combat of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet – namely, Speed isn’t as important in the real-time battle system, which means Pokemon like Metagross, Excadrill, and Gyarados all rule the game at the moment. Even so, there are plenty of Pokemon that just don’t make the cut. Winning with these Pokemon online would be a real challenge!

Plants vs. Zombies Replanted 1.2.1 update

Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted is back with another update via version 1.2.1.

Various fixes and improvements are included. On Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, there are some things that have been touched up specifically for those systems.

The full rundown is as follows:

Super Mario Galaxy 2 coin farming

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is inherently more of a grind than its predecessor. Both games require collecting 9,999 Star Bits for true 100% completion, but only Super Mario Galaxy 2 requires collecting 9,999 coins – its predecessor doesn’t keep score of your total collected coins. Coins are generally much more difficult to farm than Star Bits because if you lose a life during a level, you lose all of your collected coins up until that point (whereas you keep your Star Bits). Fortunately, there’s a very easy coin farming method in Super Mario Galaxy 2 that will get you well over 500 coins within a matter of minutes. Just don’t lose a life!

Bandai Namco has shared full details about the update it’s planning for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero on Nintendo Switch, which will let players experience an enhanced version on Switch 2. The patch goes live on November 14, 2025.

When the game launches, Nintendo Switch 2 is getting its own standalone release. However, if you initially pick up the Nintendo Switch 1 version and decide that you want to play on Switch 2 later, you’ll be able to receive some benefits.

Below is the full overview:
