The best Nintendo Switch DLCs, ranked
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
As the Nintendo Switch’s long eight-year life span comes to a close, we’re taking the time to rank five of its very best DLC expansions. Nintendo released quite a few big DLC packs, which added tons of life and longevity to their respective titles. Most of these are fine additions, but some of them distinctly stand out among the rest as incredible additions to their respective base games.
These 5 fighters need a new Final Smash in the next Smash Bros. game
Posted on 3 months ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
With Super Smash Bros. Ultimate turning seven years old not too long ago, we’ve reached this sort of impasse within the series. Many are wondering where it’s headed next and how could it possibly be surpassed – especially given that Ultimate will be playable on Nintendo’s new hardware via backwards compatibility. We think the most likely solution is a new Smash game with fewer characters and stages, but with reworks and new moves provided to its veterans. One aspect of each fighter that could use a refresh are their Final Smashes. These powerful and cinematic moves are the cornerstone of each fighter’s moveset – in casual play, that is. But to this day, some fighters’ Final Smashes are outdated or no longer accurately represent them. We’ve come up with five particular characters who need new Final Smashes in the next Smash, as well as ideas for what those new attacks might look like.

Cutting the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster in half
Posted on 8 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo | 0 comments
At the time of writing, we’re kind of in a dull spot for the Super Smash Bros. series. Ultimate’s DLC ended several years ago, cementing that title as the franchise’s definitive entry. We’re left wondering – what’s next for Smash? An enhanced port that retains all of the characters plus a few new ones, or a complete reboot with fewer characters? No one knows what’s next, but just for the fun of it, we’re going to speculate on which characters are most likely to stay or leave for Smash’s next entry.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth director says Sephiroth in Smash Bros. Ultimate was “extremely confidential”
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
New character reveals for Smash Bros. are always a big deal, and Nintendo tries to keep as much secrecy around each announcement as it possibly can. Even those you may think would be tuned in to what’s happening behind the scenes are kept in the dark.
One example is this was the Sephiroth DLC for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. As it turns out, no one on the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth team knew that he would be joining Nintendo’s game. That includes Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Square Enix’s new RPG.

Top 5 rarest Super Smash Bros. series amiibo in 2024
Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in General Nintendo, Guides | 0 comments
With the Super Smash Bros. amiibo line now finishing with Sora, we’ve put together a list going over the top five rarest figures.
Nintendo has recently announced restocks of several Super Smash Bros. series amiibo figures – including Joker, Terry, and Banjo & Kazooie, who all lie among the rarest of these figurines (especially Joker). To add to this, Nintendo also restocked female Corrin last year, who was once considered the single rarest Super Smash Bros. amiibo. Given how much each individual character’s availability has changed, we’ve put together a list of Smash Bros. series amiibo figures who haven’t yet been restocked. It’s entirely possible that this list changes part way in the year depending on future restocks, so for now, keep in mind that this list is current as of February 2024.
