Fortnite dataminers find evidence of upcoming Batman crossover
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Fortnite may have another big collaboration in its pocket. Shortly after the game’s 10.31 update released today, dataminers quickly went to work and discovered that a bunch of Batman content appears to be inbound.
New gear, skins, and locations were found, and they could be ready for Batman Day on September 21. One new aspect is the Explosive Batarang that can home in on enemies or stick to walls and explode when other players are within proximity, as well as the Grapnel Gun. Tilted Towers will also be updated to look more in line with Gotham City. Finally, fans can expect new “Welcome to Gotham” challenges that provide rewards such as sprays and a glider for completing tasks that include “light a bat signal.”
Here are a few images from the datamine:

[Review] Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Posted on 5 years ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: September 20, 2019
Developer: Level-5
Publisher: Bandai Namco
Okay, full disclosure: I’m something of an uncultured swine when it comes to JRPGs. The closest I ever got to a JRPG obsession growing up was the obligatory copy of Pokemon that saw me through many a car journey – oh, that and Persona 4. Having said that, I have always been able to appreciate the objective level of polish and nuance that seemed baked into the genre’s foundations. Having said that though, my last attempt at getting on board with JRPGs was Xenoblade Chronicles 2 – an objectively fantastic game – that forced my three remaining brain cells to run in circles kicking each other up the backside. This was thanks to a bevy of layered systems and mechanics, that quickly proved far too much for an utter dunce such as myself. It was with a certain apprehension, then, that I put myself forward to review Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – an absolute unabashed JRPG through and through. Developed by Level-5 and originally released back in 2013, the game drew rave reviews at launch, and it’s a title that I have had constantly recommended to me as a potential gateway-drug to a problematic full-on JRPG addiction. I was honestly a little intimidated jumping into the game’s 50-hour campaign, but I persevered, and after only a short while with Ni no Kuni, all of my initial trepidation melted away into joy.
