Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch removes an NPC from the Wii original
Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch | 0 comments
File this one under slightly random, but fans have noticed that the new Nintendo Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy has replaced one of its NPCs.
In the Wii original, Starship Mario had a specific Toad you could interact with to deposit Starbits. This allowed players to transfer the currency across save files. That Toad is now gone though (as relayed by Jhay), and is replaced by a different one that tells you how to use amiibo.

Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 4 days ago by Taioh in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch 2, Switch (reviewed)
Release date: October 9, 2025
Developer: Nihon Falcom
Publisher: GungHo Online Entertainment
It’s safe to say at this point that Falcom’s beautifully interwoven Trails series is a hit among RPG players. Trails in the Sky originally saw release in 2004 in Japan, but wouldn’t arrive for western audiences until 2011, a full seven years and four games later, be mindful. In a series of games that is currently thirteen titles long, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter arrives at a pivotal point. We have a jump in graphics, a rehash of mechanics, and plenty of beefy consoles to experience it on. Does the game play well on the original Nintendo Switch? Does the game hold up to the original experience?

Most Pokemon games tend to have pre-order bonuses, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A is no stranger to that. Retailers are now starting to come forward with different items that it’ll have on hand, and we’ll be rounding up everything in this post.
