Super Mario RPG Frog Coin farming

We’ve come up with a fool-proof Frog Coin farming method in Super Mario RPG that’s easy to perform and doesn’t require much focus at all. 

If you’re looking for a fast way to increase coins, this should come in handy. Technically, you could take the Midas River course over and over again or try playing a different sort of minigame to rack up Frog Coins. These methods tend to be rather slow, however, and require a good deal of focus to successfully complete.

Jet Force Gemini Nintendo Switch Online

Jet Force Gemini is making its way to Nintendo Switch Online, it’s been announced.

The news was actually rolled out in a bit of an unexpected way. Nintendo dropped one of its random trailers announcing the latest games for Switch Online, but only in Japan. Along with GoldenEye 007 (which we’ve had in the west for a number of months now), Jet Force Gemini will also be added. Both are launching in Japan on November 30, 2023 via the Expansion Pack.

Super Mario RPG bug

Nintendo has provided notification regarding a bug in Super Mario RPG that can block progression if encountered.

The bug may appear following the Paratroopa event in Monstro Town. You’ll know something is wrong if the the Paratroopas don’t appear in Land’s End. The good news is that Nintendo has shared a workaround, which simply involves going to the Mushroom Kingdom and returning to Land’s End again. 

super mario rpg boss rematch

The boss rematches are the toughest challenges Super Mario RPG has to offer, so we’ve put together a detailed guide on each one to help you take each one down – plus their locations.

The game actually adds a good amount of content on top of the original. These come in the form of boss rematches, which you can’t access until after you defeat the final boss. There are spoilers ahead, including the identity of the super-secret boss, so take care before you continue. With all that out of the way, let’s get right into our Super Mario RPG boss rematch guide.

Spells & Secrets review

System: Switch
Release date: November 9, 2023
Developer: Alchemist Interactive
Publisher: Merge Games


Roguelikes and roguelites are an interesting genre of games, being predicated as they are on doing the same content repeatedly with incremental progress, in a way that would be extremely frustrating and tedious in just about any other circumstances. It takes a special kind of game to get that balance just right, to make each death feel more like a minor setback than a crushing defeat, and inspire you to venture forth into its murky depths for “just one more run” until you finally succeed. Spells & Secrets., developed by Alchemist Interactive, has some interesting ideas to contribute to the genre, but unfortunately it fails to capture any kind of real magic.

Class of Heroes 1 & 2 Complete Edition English west

Class of Heroes 1 & 2: Complete Edition is getting a worldwide release on Switch, PQube and Acquire revealed today. A release is scheduled for early 2024.

Both of these games originally released on PSP. Acquire then brought them to Switch as remasters, but only in Japan. PQube is now localizing the two titles and shipping them in a single package.

Super Mario RPG toadofsky melodies

We’ve found all three NPCs and gathered their locations right here, plus the notes you need to play each of the Toadofsky melodies in Super Mario RPG.

Super Mario RPG just dropped for Switch, and one of the first areas you’ll come across in the game is Tadpole Pond. Initially, you’re sent there on a mission to visit the Frog Sage – but there’s something else you can do there, too. Head east from the entrance and you’ll find Toadofsky, a composer looking for inspiration. Throughout Super Mario RPG, there are specific NPCs who teach you a song you can then play for Toadofsky. Unfortunately, you can’t play these songs early – you must talk to each corresponding NPC for Toadofsky to recognize the tune at all. 

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom - Pirates of the Disturbance review

System: Switch
Release date: November 28, 2023
Developer: Idea Factory
Publisher: Idea Factory


Catarina Claes was a very huge brat as a child. She was unruly, selfish, and had a mean streak that made family and staff at her mansion home shy away from her. Born into a noble family, Catarina had everything she could ever want. One day, awakening to memories of her past life as a Japanese high school student, Catarina realized that the life she was currently living was the main plot of a visual novel game, Fortune Lover, from her past world – one where the character she just happened to be born as would meet very unfortunate endings based on the player character’s choices. Understanding that fate was not on her side, she quickly and rapidly changed. The once bratty child devoted herself to overcoming each and every terrible ending she could face, winning the affection of those who would cause her demise in the process, though she does seem to be ignorant to how much her friends come to care for her. That’s the premise of Idea Factory’s latest Switch game, My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom – Pirates of the Disturbance.
