[Preview] Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
Posted on 4 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Previews, Switch | 0 comments
It always seems to happen the same way: just when I think I’m ready to take a break from playing big, sprawling JRPGs that threatens to suck up every ounce of my free time, along comes a game like Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes that immediately makes me reconsider. After spending the past few years deep in development following an immensely successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020, the turn-based RPG will finally land on Switch next spring and will hopefully help scratch the Suikoden itch that Konami has ignored for over a decade. I was fortunate to have a chance to demo the game in Los Angeles recently, and while I only got to experience a small sliver of the opening chunk of the game, I really enjoyed what bits of the story, combat, and exploration I played.
Glastrier and Spectrier location in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Glastrier and Spectrier are back in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s Indigo Disk DLC, and we have their locations right here.
As with all returning Legendary Pokemon introduced in The Indigo Disk, Glastrier and Spectrier unlock via Snacksworth, a character who appears at the entrance of Blueberry Academy after finishing the main story. Surprisingly enough, neither of these Pokemon are exclusive – you can catch both of them in the same game. To unlock their appearances, you’ll need to clear Blueberry Quests (BBQ’s for short), and every 10 quests you will receive a snack that activates a random Legendary Pokemon. You’ll also receive a vague hint as to where it’s located – but we’ve figured that part out for you.

Kubfu location guide in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet The Indigo Disk
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
For those looking to get their hands on Kubfu in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet as part of The Indigo Disk, we have a location guide for you so you can learn where to find it.
The Indigo Disk DLC for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet includes Kubfu as one of the Legendary Pokemon that can be caught. It’s a good thing, too – Urshifu is currently one of the strongest Pokemon in VGC, and it was previously only obtainable via Pokemon Sword and Shield’s DLC campaign.
Before we get into the Kubfu location, keep in mind that you can get the Scroll of Darkness or Scroll of Waters from the Porto Marinada auction house. From there, you can use it like an item to evolve Kubfu without having to do any of the training present in the Isle of Armor DLC.

[Let’s Talk] Favorite E3 memories
Posted on 4 months 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.

Terapagos location guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 4 months 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.

Duraludon, a Pokemon who first appeared in Sword and Shield a few years back, has received a brand-new evolution in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet’s new Indigo Disk DLC with Archaludon – and we’ll tell you how to evolve it.
Archaludon retains the Steel/Dragon-typing, though its Abilities have changed. Duraludon has Light Metal, Heavy Metal, and Stalwart. Meanwhile, Archaludon has Stamina, Sturdy, and Stalwart – which are generally more useful.
