All of Nintendo’s Switch 2 exclusives in 2025, ranked
Posted on 1 hour ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
All things considered, Nintendo Switch 2 has had a fairly strong start for its first six months on the market. While we’re still missing heavy hitters like new entries in the Animal Crossing and Super Smash Bros. franchises (and they could be years away), we’ve received several high-profile exclusives over the course of the past few months. Now that Kirby Air Riders has been out for a while, we can finally rank them all based on quality. That being said, just about all of Nintendo’s Switch 2 exclusives this year are hits, with only a few small exceptions.
As a heads-up, we’re only including fully exclusive games here, which means you won’t see Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or Pokemon Legends: Z-A (since they were developed for the original Nintendo Switch). They’re both great too, though!
[Let’s Talk] Metroid Prime 4: Beyond impressions

This was a pretty huge week in the Nintendo world as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally released following years of anticipation. Now that the game has finally arrived, we want to know how you’re feeling about the game if you’ve started it up.
Many of you likely know about the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond journey. After it was announced in 2017 with a different studio in charge, Nintendo scrapped the entire project and rebooted the game with Retro Studios – the series’ original developer – taking over. That announcement took place at the start of 2019. Years went by, but now fans can finally see how the final product turned out.
So if you’re playing Metroid Prime 4, what are your thoughts so far? Let us know in the comments below.

A new comparison video has come in showing off changes made to all courses in Mario Kart World following the game’s latest patch.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dev discusses how one of the bosses was made

In a post on Nintendo’s recruitment website, notable insight was shared into the making of a boss for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Designer Takuma Tokita published the piece.
Tokita spoke about the importance of enemy design as that impacts gameplay. In making these creatures, a key focus for the developer is “visually conveying how to best an enemy’s attacks in the design.”
We won’t get into details so that we can avoid spoilers, but much of Tokita’s piece covers the game’s Fire Temple boss. We have a full translation below.

How to farm Legendary Machine parts in Kirby Air Riders
Posted on 1 day ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new Kirby Air Riders ready to go focusing on how you can farm Legendary Machine parts.
Anyone looking to 100 percent complete Kirby Air Riders is in for a challenge, because it’s got huge checklists for Air Ride, Top Ride, City Trial, Road Trip, and Online. You’ll need to complete them all in order to earn true 100 percent completion (plus a few other things), and thankfully many of the challenges you’ll need to clear are fairly self-explanatory. That being said, City Trial’s checklist is much more dependent on random luck and field events, meaning it’s probably going to be the one you finish last. Several of the tasks within require that you assemble Legendary Machines, of which there are four. Two of them are Dragoon and Hydra, while the other two are related to the story and are considered spoilers. We’ll be discussing them within, so keep that in mind before you continue.
