Top 5 saddest Nintendo endings of all time
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in 3DS, Features, General Nintendo, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over five of the saddest Nintendo endings of all time. As an important note, we’re only covering endings for games we’ve played, so if you can think of one that’s not on the list, feel free to share it with us in the comments down below.
For the most part, Nintendo is known for producing happy, feel-good games. Things like Mario and Kirby come to mind most here – just about all of their games end with a dramatic final boss fight, but a happy ending for the characters and world otherwise. That being said, some Nintendo games aren’t all kittens and rainbows at the end. Though far and few between, some of Nintendo’s sadder endings hit hard – and we’ve included five of the saddest Nintendo endings right here. Spoilers ahead!
[Let’s Talk] What’s the best Nintendo-published Switch game?
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
As each day goes by, we get closer and closer to Nintendo’s next console. It remains to be seen when exactly it’ll be announced and released, but by this time next year, the system is something many fans will be thinking a lot about.
As we wait for what’s next, let’s take a moment to think back on Nintendo’s current console. The company has put out a ton of games for Switch dating back to 2017, starting out with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Believe it or not, the Big N has published over 100 titles on Switch.
So what’s your favorite? Maybe you have an unconventional pick that not many would consider the best? Let us know in the comments.
Highlights from last week’s topic: What do you want to see next out of Monolith Soft?

I want a new game. Not a remake or remaster, and not a small game either. Another full blown Xenoblade 3 150+ hour game. And when it releases it will probably easily be my game of the year, just like Xenoblade 3 was in 2022.

Xenoblade Chronicles X 2!
Gimme that sci-fi urban mecha open world goodness 10 years later! I meant in the setting, but now I realize it came out in 2015, so either meaning is applicable. Future Redeemed tied all the shared Xeno-series together, while also insinuating that there were more narrative threads that haven’t been explored in that universe, so maybe one of those that isn’t terrestrial.

I still wanna see a XCX remake, but otherwise developing something new outside of the RPG genre would also be great. Monolith hasn’t done that (not counting the games that they only assisted with) since Disaster Day of Crisis and that was almost 16 years ago.

There was a little bit of speculation within the Zelda community about this previously, but Nintendo recently made it official that Echoes of Wisdom will support amiibo. That news comes from the official Japanese website.
Using a compatible figure will have a couple of effects. First, amiibo can provide items that can be used on your adventure. Nintendo also teased that you might be able to get different colors of clothing with an amiibo in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
