Mario Kart World unlockable outfits guide and full list
Posted on 5 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
One of the big new features in Mario Kart World is the ability to unlock outfits for different characters. Most of the drivers in this game have plenty of costumes choose from – with the exception of Donkey Kong and Pauline, who only have one outfit each. Furthermore, some drivers, like Wiggler, Nabbit, and all of the minion characters, are designated as NPC drivers. This means that they don’t have any costumes to choose from at all.

Fast Fusion review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 5 days ago by Richard in Reviews, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: Shin’en
Publisher: Shin’en
I love anti-gravity racers. My very first one was F-Zero GX, one of the two games I picked up with my GameCube in 2003, when I was six. I was addicted. I put dozens upon dozens of hours into the game, with its difficulty level only encouraging me to play more. My dad saw how much I loved it, and he owned a PlayStation 2 at the time. As a gift, he gifted me WipeOut Fusion the following year. A similar style of game, and another one I fell in love with, albeit not to the same extent. Still, as the years went by, F-Zero and WipeOut became series with infrequent releases at best. An itch formed within me for a new futuristic space racer, and unbeknownst to me, there was another one making the rounds from Shin’en.

Nintendo Switch 2 improves one of Switch 1’s worst ports ever
Posted on 5 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
As fans continue to test out various Nintendo Switch games on Switch 2, it’s now come to light that WWE 2K18 – one of the previous system’s worst ports – is dramatically improved on the new console.
One of the biggest issues surrounding the game was performance. In just about every area, there were significant struggles. WWE 2K18 attempted to hit 30 frames per second on Nintendo Switch, but that just didn’t happen. Also, rather than skipping frames, the action itself would slow down. Needless to say, it wasn’t a good experience.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion has received not one, but two new trailers that show off the story and particle weapon Combat Support System.
For the story video, we have a look at some of the mysterious enemies, supporting characters, and stylish action-combat against monsters and Arsenals that players will experience. As for the particle weapon Combat Support System, this is a preinstalled modification for Arsenal body armor providing Outers with powerful particle armaments. The three basic systems include Assault Shift (AS), which automatically targets and shoots enemies, Guard Shift (GS), offering a directional shield that nullifies attacks, and Wing Shift (WS), giving players the ability to fly at high speeds. Players can use these particle armaments through the limited resource known as Femto, giving Outers a powerful temporary boost to be used strategically.
