Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
It’s crazy to think about just how many Nintendo Switch games are out there. Between Nintendo and others, system owners have thousands of possibilities to choose from. Not all of them are of the same quality, but there’s certainly a lot of variety.
As we head towards the end of Nintendo Switch’s lifecycle, we wanted to ask: how bis is your games collection? We don’t expect many (if any) of you to have specific numbers, but how about in general? Have you purchased more Switch titles than you did for previous Nintendo systems? Have you been more of a physical buyer or digital? Let us know in the comments.

Posted on 4 months ago by Dawn in Features, Mobile | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over which sub-skills are best for which Pokemon according to their Specialty in Pokemon Sleep and some of the things you should consider when assessing whether they’d be worth investing in, or better sent to the Professor for candy that you can invest in better ones.
In Pokemon Sleep, the Pokemon that you recruit have a variety of parameters to consider which can dramatically affect their productivity when you’re awake. Although their Main Skill is fixed by their species, their sub-skills, which they will learn at Level 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100, are randomly selected from a small pool of options, and can make a huge difference on how effective they are at their Specialty.

Ravenswatch review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 4 months ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 23, 2025
Developer: Passtech Games
Publisher: Nacon
“Once upon a time” is an almost universally recognised phrase, beginning tales that many of us will have heard before, and will almost certainly follow a familiar pattern. There will be a hero, a villain, and in the end the former will defeat the latter, and the tale will have a happy ending. In modern interpretations of these classic tales at least, it’s rare that you’ll find one that doesn’t have a happy ending, unless it has been deliberately contrived for the sake of provoking shock in the audience, which it typically fails to do, being so exaggerated as to feel more cliche than original. Ravenswatch, the second game to be developed by Passtech Games, is an extremely rare example of this inversion of fairy tales done right, with some solid roguelike gameplay to back it up.

New Nintendo patent discovered, essentially confirms Switch 2 mouse feature [update: more patent details]
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Original: Although patents are often hit and miss when it comes to how significant they are in terms of actual products, a new one has come to light that strongly points to mouse-like functionality for Nintendo Switch 2.
The ability to use Joy-Con similar to that of a mouse isn’t exactly new. There were rumors and leaks pointing in that direction before the system was officially announced last month. Then once Nintendo put out its reveal video for Nintendo Switch 2, talk about mouse-like functionality was further supported after Nintendo showed some footage hinting in that direction.
