A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo produced the special Zelda: Breath of the Wild video series showcasing the game’s creation. Today, a special bonus episode went live. Members of the Zelda team discuss their favorite characters, locations, and shrines, and then share a special message. Check it out below.
The Gold Goombas Mega Event in Super Mario Run is coming back later this week. Gold Goombas will appear in World Tour, and defeating them will provide extra coins. And if you defeat many of them, “something even better could happen”.
You can participate in the Gold Goombas Mega Event between March 30 at 3:00 and April 13 at 2:59.

While the screenshots posted on the official Dragon Quest XI website mostly covered stuff we already knew about, there was one interesting new piece of information in there. As it turns out, the ability to switch between the classic 2D sprite look and the more modern 3D appearance in the 3DS version of the game is more than just cosmetic. In 2D mode, battles start via random encounters. In 3D mode, you can actually see the monsters as you walk around – and you can attack them to gain a preemptive strike. Conversely, monsters will attack you first if they see your approach.

The Japanese Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account has detailed some of the changes and updates soon coming to the game, and Reddit user Van24 has kindly translated them.
First of all, you will be able to adjust the starting positions of your units at the beginning of each battle. As long as you haven’t taken the first action, you can swap them around as often as you wish.
Next, some adjustments will be made to the experience earned by characters between 1-star and 4-star rarity. Specifically, the lower the star rank of a unit, the more experience they will earn fighting lower level enemies.
Finally, the maximum amount of stamina will be increased from 50 to 99. Orbs and Stamina Potions will then also refill 99 stamina.
These changes will go live with an update that will be available sometime in April.
Cypronia made the Minecraft-esque Cube Life: Island Survival for Wii U a couple of years ago, and even intends to bring it to Switch at some point. In the meantime though, we’re getting a completely different game on Wii U this week – Cube Life: Pixel Action Heroes. The eShop lists it for March 30 in North America.
Unlike the open-world nature of Island Survival, Pixel Action Heroes is more a shooter. You’ll take on the role of “an iconic action hero from the 80s in a fully destructible block-building world.” It’s possible to create your own levels, share them with others, and receive feedback.
Here’s a rundown of features:
Wipeout zombie hordes, but beware of the bosses!
Practice your skills and eliminate Bots
Local Multiplayer (in many cool game modes)
Ragdoll physics
Fully destructible maps (destroy the level with tools, guns, explosives)
Map editor (create your own maps)
Skin editor (customize your hero)
Fluid and smooth gameplay (30+ FPS)
Large variety of foes and challenging bosses
Build your own maps and share with other players
Large selection of firearms based on real life weapons
You can get a look at Cube Life: Pixel Action Heroes in the gallery below.
