Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
SEGA shared a bit of additional information about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds for Nintendo Switch 2 today, including confirmation that the game will contain the entire experience on its cartridge.
This is one of the rare titles on the console to be doing this. Thus far, most third-party publishers have opted to use game-key cards. This has drawn ire from fans as they’re not truly physical – you’re basically getting a blank cartridge as the game needs to be downloaded from the internet.

List of missable pictographs and figurines in Zelda: The Wind Waker
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in GameCube, Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over a list of missable pictographs and missable figurines in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Recently, we’ve been playing the game on GameCube. More specifically, the version that’s available on Nintendo Switch Online. While the game is fun to play casually, it’s not fun to 100 percent complete. The Wind Waker’s side content includes plenty of tedious Heart Pieces and trading sequences, but its biggest task is completing the dreaded Nintendo Gallery. For this task, you have to take pictures of almost every single entity in the game. The picture needs to include its face and most of its body in order to count. You can then hand this picture off to Carlov, who makes a figurine based on it. There are well over 100 different figures to make, and some of them are actually permanently missable. If you decide to play through The Wind Waker with a walkthrough (Zelda Dungeon’s is particularly good), it most likely won’t tell you which pictures are about to become unobtainable.
Donkey Kong Bananza lets player skip locations and parts of the story

Thanks to the destruction in Donkey Kong Bananza, the game will let players skip locations and parts of the story.
That news comes from co-director Kazuya Takahashi. Speaking in an interview that went live today, he spoke about how the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive provides “leeway in terms of progression”. While games often block off sequence breaking, it’s allowed in Donkey Kong Bananza.
Takahashi noted in the interview:
