Pokemon Legends: Z-A Xerneas location guide
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We have a new location guide for Pokemon Legends: Z-A, this time for Xerneas, one of Kalos’ two signature Legendary Pokemon.
As a Legendary Pokemon, it takes a while before you can catch Xerneas – more specifically, you’ll have to clear Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s main story. That should take somewhere around 20 hours if you’re rushing, with a few extra hours tacked on if you take on side quests. Since the game forces autosave to be left on, it’s impossible to fail Xerneas. If you defeat it, it will simply respawn and the mission won’t be cleared until you catch it. That may take a while, though – Xerneas traditionally has a low catch rate!

Persona 3 Reload review for Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 4 weeks ago by Ethan in Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: October 23, 2025
Developer: Atlus
Publisher: Atlus
The Persona series has had something of a resurgence on Nintendo consoles in recent years. In 2022, Persona 5 Royal released on Nintendo Switch, and it was eventually followed by Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden in early 2023. Several years later, Atlus has now brought Persona 3 Reload to Nintendo Switch 2. It’s a full remake of the original Persona 3 with graphics, audio, and gameplay more in line with Persona 5. It’s also absolutely excellent – as you might expect, it’s very slightly compromised on Nintendo Switch 2, but it remains perfectly playable and a fantastic JRPG nonetheless.
