Link will have some playable role in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
New information about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has come to light, and it indicates that Link will be a playable character for at least some part of the game. That news comes from an ESRB rating that just appeared today.
One of the big elements in Echoes of Wisdom is that Zelda is taking the lead this time around. Link tends to have the starring role, but now the princess will be the one attempting to save Hyrule. We’ve also never really seen Zelda playable like this in a mainline entry.
Examining the lore of Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Posted on 11 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
The Xenoblade Chronicles 3 art book was released a few months back, and in addition to providing an in-depth look at character designs, it also provided a huge amount of lore via its included interviews. Xenoblade Chronicles games are famous for their lore, and all 3 numbered titles provide story tidbits at the end that sort of re-contextualize cutscenes from earlier in the game. The interviews included in the art book are with game director Tetsuya Takahashi, and a good chunk of the new lore he reveals in them re-contextualizes certain cutscenes from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in the same way. Today, we’re looking at the Xenoblade 3 art book and all of the new story details – and what they mean for the game’s overarching plot. This will contain full spoilers for Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2, and 3, so keep that in mind before you continue.

[Let’s Talk] What do you expect from Switch in 2025?
Posted on 11 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Thus far, Nintendo has said very little about Switch’s successor. It’ll be announced by March 2025… and that’s all we know.
While we wait for Switch 2, the current Switch is going strong. Although Nintendo’s first half of the year was a bit on the weaker side in terms of software, the second half is making up for that. Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, and Super Mario Party Jamboree are coming in the months ahead.

Boo Locations guide – Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD
Posted on 11 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Today, we’ve put together a list of all the Boo locations in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD.
Boos are one of two main collectibles found in Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – in addition to gems, which we’ve already covered. Whereas some gems can be collected in several different missions, there is strictly one Boo per mission. Basically, discovering Boos requires the Dark-Light Device, which you don’t obtain until after the first few missions in the Gloomy Manor. Despite this, the first couple of levels do indeed have Boos, which means you’ll have to go back and replay them after you obtain the Dark-Light Device. To reveal a Boo, you will need to reveal a hidden furniture item with your Dark-Light Device and then suck up the spirit pieces to reveal it. From there, continue using your Dark-Light Device to bring the Boo out of hiding, and then grab its tongue and pull to deal damage to it.
