Zelda: Breath of the Wild version 1.3.1 removes Trial of the Sword glitch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 0 comments
After Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s first DLC pack arrived, players eventually discovered an interesting glitch. It involved entering the the Trial of the Sword and warping to a Divine Beast that you haven’t finished in order to duplicate items.
With the new update released this week, the glitch has since been patched. So if you’ve downloaded version 1.3.1, it’s impossible to recreate the glitch in the same exact way. We wouldn’t be surprised though if players manage to find another way of duplicating items with a different glitch in the future.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Dragon Quest X anime short #1: “The Feeling of a Name”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Switch, Videos, Wii, Wii U | 4 Comments
As a way of celebrating Dragon Quest X’s fifth anniversary, Square Enix has created a series of short animations based on “‘miraculous’ stories” submitted by players.
The first video, called “The Feeling of a Name”, is attached below. Gematsu also provides us with the following synopsis:
“The Feeling of a Name” opens as a young girl watches her parents enjoy the in-game fireworks celebration for Dragon Quest X‘s fourth anniversary on August 2, 2016. She quietly points out to her father that it looks like everyone has gathered to celebrate Yukina’s birthday. Yukina is the name of her mother’s character, but in a flashback we learn that she was named after their elder daughter, Yukina, who passed away. A year goes by, and we see the father at a cafe, chatting in Dragon Quest X on his laptop, where it is suggested he proposes to his online friends the idea his daughter mentioned a year prior, unbeknownst to his wife. Finally, on August 2, 2017, the family is gathered once again to watch the in-game fireworks celebration for the game’s fifth anniversary. It is then that everyone viewing the fireworks start to wish Yukina a happy 15th birthday, bringing tears to the surprised mother’s eyes. Had she been alive, Yukina would have turned 15 years old that day.
