Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Earlier this year, it was reported that James “Archbox” Williams was one of two people Nintendo was suing over Switch piracy. New details have now emerged about how Williams was tracked down, which involved repairs and Reddit.
Game File uncovered information about the case from court filings. Things begin in 2023 when Nintendo hired Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp to investigate online stores for pirated Switch games. That led to the discovery of Archbox, and based on Reddit postings including ones in the SwitchPirates and Phoenix communities, the law firm learned that he lived near Phoenix, Arizona and had attended Midwestern University.

Today, we’re looking at It’s Dorrie, the third missable side quest in Mario & Luigi Brothership. This follows Arc’s Secret and Zokket’s Schemes, the first two missable side quests that become unavailable after you advance the story. This third side quest is available just before clearing the second Great Lighthouse, which comes roughly 12 hours into the game or so. If you’re not at that point and want to avoid story spoilers, it may be best to bookmark this page and come back once you start hearing about the second Great Lighthouse.

There was a bit of a surprise surrounding Beyblade X: XONE this week, as the game ended up seeing a worldwide release with full English support.
FuRyu originally unveiled the Nintendo Switch game back in May. However, that reveal only indicated that a Japanese launch was happening. So it certainly came as a surprise that as we were browsing the Nintendo eShop, we happened to notice an English version of Beyblade X: XONE. The game can be purchased in both North America and Europe.

Marvelous and Edelweiss just unveiled Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation, a new game tying in with Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. As of now there’s no word on a release window or supported platforms. That said, given the success of Sakuna on Switch, we should be expecting Nintendo support here.
Not much has been said of the project as of now. According to Marvelous, it “is an all-new spin-off story focused on the brilliant Princess Kokorowa, Sakuna’s close friend, who is a high-ranking goddess presiding over wheels and inventions from her heavenly home.” Further details will follow later.

Posted on 7 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
While Xbox did this previously, 2024 marked the year when the company made its biggest push yet regarding releasing its games on other platforms. Nintendo Switch benefited from the approach in the form of Grounded and Pentiment on the console.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now briefly weighed in on Microsoft’s approach going forward. In an interview with Bloomberg, while discussing bringing more games to Nintendo and PlayStation, he said that there are no “red lines in our portfolio that say ‘thou must not.'” He added that no decisions have been made about the next Halo given how early in development that game is.
