[Let’s Talk] Favorite E3 memories
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
With E3 officially coming to a permanent end this week, now’s a good time for reflection. The expo was home to some of the most memorable moments and that’s something we want to dive into.
For Nintendo, there were plenty of memorable moments over the years. It was where the company showed off new hardware like the 3DS and Wii U. It also gave us some massive announcements such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which may never be topped in terms of reaction. Even outside of reveals, there were other memorable moments such as Reggie Fils-Aime’s first major appearance. When Nintendo moved to digital presentations in later years, we still got some special presentations like with Robot Chicken and The Jim Henson Company.
So what were your favorite E3 moments over the past couple of decades? Let us know in the comments.

Posted on 1 year ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Terapagos is available in the later half of the new Indigo Disk DLC’s story for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, but since catching it isn’t quite that simple, we’ll tell you about its location and how to catch it.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC introduces the new Legendary Pokemon Terapagos, who is located at the bottom of Area Zero. Between its in-game role and its appearance in the Pokemon anime, it’s clear that Terapagos is sort of intended as a cut above the rest. It’s supposedly the origin of Terastallization and possibly even Paradox Pokemon, after all.
If you’re looking to add this Legendary Pokemon to your collection, then let’s get right into our Terapagos location guide. We’ll try to go light on spoilers, but there are some story details within – keep that in mind before you continue.

Series producer doesn’t think Zelda Maker would be a good fit for the series
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Super Mario Maker has had two successful games, and some fans have wanted Nintendo to explore something similar for The Legend of Zelda. However, don’t expect anything on that front in the near future.
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about the possibility in an interview with Polygon, but seemed to rule it out. While Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom have allowed for creativity through its different gameplay systems, Aonuma doesn’t feel that the actual concept of Zelda Maker would be a good fit for the franchise.
