Posted 4 months ago by Brian in News, Switch | 0 comments
In this week’s issue of Famitsu, a couple of developers behind Super Mario Bros. Wonder discussed the decision to remove the timer. Producer Takashi Tezuka and director Shiro Mouri chimed in.
The time limit has been a staple of the side-scrolling series since the very original game. However, Super Mario Bros. Wonder mixed up a number of aspects to the classic formula, and taking that out was one of those changes.

[Let’s Talk] 2024 hopes and dreams for Nintendo
Posted 4 months ago by Brian in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Only a few days remain in 2023, so it’s time to start thinking about 2024. What are your hopes and dreams for Nintendo next year?
When we enter March, Switch will be seven years old and starting its eighth year. Nintendo doesn’t seem to be abandoning the console anytime soon with a number of games already confirmed for 2024. We’re getting Another Code: Recollection in January, Mario vs. Donkey Kong in February, Princess Peach: Showtime in March, and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door later on. Obviously there should be even more to come.
If you believe some of the rumors out there, we could also be getting a Switch successor in 2024. It’s a logical possibility given how old the current system is, but no announcements have been made so far.
With all of that in mind, let us know how you’re feeling about Nintendo as we head into 2024.

It’s now been confirmed that Mythwalk Studios will be putting Dewborne Dawn on Switch once the project wraps up development. The team has been seeking funding on Kickstarter, and after just reaching the $50,000 goal, everything is moving forward.
Dewborne Dawn is billed as a hand-drawn Metroidvania game in which players take on the role of Dew, a mystical creature wielding a divine blade which has the rare ability to cleanse a plague. Mythwalk is taking inspiration from a number of titles and series, including Hollow Knight, Sekiro, Dust: An Elysian Tail, and the Legend of Zelda.

[Preview] Hands-on with Resistor, an ambitious racing RPG
Posted 4 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It feels like racing games are often excused from needing to tell stories; even as players, we’ve been trained to expect little more from the genre than schlocky tales of midnight street racing, if there’s even any context to the action at all. That can be just fine as many players only care about the feel of the driving, but there’s so much potential for fresh ideas. That’s why I’m curious about Resistor, an upcoming racing RPG whose lead developer, Violet McVinnie, previously worked on cinematics and narrative for titles like Mass Effect and Dragon Age. There’s a lot of potential for Resistor to be something unique, and while my brief demo only let me preview a small slice of the game, I’m hopeful it will prove that racing games can indeed tell deeper stories than they typically do.

Where to find Raging Bolt in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Wondering where to find Raging Bolt as part of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s The Indigo Disk DLC? We’ve got you covered there.
Raging Bolt is a past paradox form of Raikou, and it’s brand new to the DLC. Whereas Raikou is a pure Electric-type Pokemon, Raging Bolt is an Electric/Dragon-type modeled after a dinosaur. Walking Wake, a fellow member of its trio, was already available in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s base game via a limited-time Tera Raid Battle event. That’s not the case for Raging Bolt, however – as long as you’re playing Pokemon Scarlet (the game it’s exclusive to), you’ll be able to catch it for yourself with no time limit.
