5 Pokemon that need evolutions in Winds and Waves
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’ve listed off five weak Pokemon that deserve some time in the spotlight with a new evolution. It’s possible we could see a Paldea Pokemon receive its own evolution, but for the sake of the list, we’ve kept it limited to Pokemon that have been around for more than a single generation.
Now that Pokemon Winds and Waves have been revealed, it’s time for the fun part: speculating! Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced a whole bunch of new evolutions for old Pokemon, so it’s safe to assume Pokemon Winds and Waves will do the same.

Super Mario Galaxy 2’s new storybook epilogue explained
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
In a bit of a random move from Nintendo, Super Mario Galaxy 2 received an update on Switch and Switch 2 this week that added an all-new epilogue chapter to the storybook. Many were afraid that it would tie into The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and its new story additions, but that doesn’t seem to be the case here. So today, we’re going over our interpretation of what this epilogue might mean. We’ll be covering full spoilers for Super Mario Galaxy 2, so keep that in mind before you continue!

The best Pokemon in Legends: Z-A’s Season 10 Ranked Battles
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s tenth ranked battles season is live now, and it allows Mythical and sub-Legendary Pokemon but doesn’t allow heavy hitters like Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Xerneas, and Yveltal. By this point, we’re assuming a good chunk of you who are still playing ranked battles are doing so for the sake of some of the in-game achievements. If you happen to be going for Consummate Gamer, there’s one specific Pokemon allowed in this format that’s going to consistently ruin your day!

The best Pokemon in Champions’ Season M-1
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some of the best Pokemon in Pokemon Champions Season M-1, and what each one does. We’ll also be covering both singles and doubles.
The first season of Pokemon Champions is still ongoing until May 12, and surprisingly, a lot of players really like the current format – it doesn’t allow for any Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, and many power-boosting items are strangely absent from the game. Inconvenient as the latter may be, it means the power level of the metagame is probably the lowest it’ll ever be. That means it’s a great time to get involved and build your own team.

Today, we’re ranking all of Nintendo’s major upgrade packs for Switch 2 Edition games. Mainly, we’re ranking the ones that cost money – many titles, like Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Super Mario Odyssey, and ARMS, received free patches that boost performance… but don’t count as a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, for some reason or another. We’re starting off with the worst upgrade packs, leading all the way up to the best.

How to get a refund on the Nintendo eShop
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in General Nintendo, Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For anyone wondering what the criteria to get a refund on Nintendo eShop is and how to actually get one, we’ve got you covered.
Historically, Nintendo isn’t too keen on offering digital purchase refunds on the eShop. That might be one more reason to purchase physical games, at least! That said, though, Nintendo occasionally offers one-time exceptions for certain circumstances. Most reasons won’t get you a refund, but there are some that will – here’s what you need to know.
6 things we want to see from a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
In a recent podcast, NateTheHate revealed that he thinks a remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is coming to Switch 2 this holiday season. And though we do have to report on that as a news site, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily going to come to fruition – that being said, speculation doesn’t hurt anyone!
Previously, Ocarina of Time received a Nintendo 3DS version that added new features. In addition to updated graphics, this remaster also added extra item slots, gyro aiming for the slingshot and bow, a boss gauntlet, and tutorials. Of course, we’d like to see all of those features retained in a hypothetical Nintendo Switch 2 Ocarina of Time remake, but why stop there? Here are several more additions and changes we’d love to see. We’re going to be mentioning some story spoilers here and there, so keep that in mind before you continue.
Nintendo needs to bring back Animal Crossing’s weirdness
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re talking about how the next Animal Crossing could shake up its characters and art style and return to its roots by taking cues from the original GameCube title.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons sold nearly 50 million copies on Nintendo Switch. It’s safe to say the game’s release in March 2020 became a cultural phenomenon of sorts, and it’s elevated the series as a whole to become one of Nintendo’s most popular franchises. That said, despite this popularity, we haven’t seen or heard anything much about Animal Crossing other than the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition for New Horizons – indeed, it takes a very long time to develop an all-new entry. Given how popular New Horizons was on Nintendo Switch, it’s safe to assume a sequel is in development for Nintendo Switch 2. It’s just a matter of when we’ll see it announced.
Every game rumored for Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Right now, we’re in a bit of a quiet stretch on Switch 2 – which isn’t to say we aren’t getting any games – but at the time of writing, the only titles we’ve got with confirmed release dates from Nintendo are Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, and Rhythm Heaven Groove. And two of those are Switch 1 games. Splatoon Raiders and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave still lack concrete release dates, and we currently don’t have any new title releasing in June that we know of, either.
That said, there are plenty of speculation floating around here and there, and today we’re compiling every rumored game (thanks to BrTrueV for the idea on this one) that we’ve heard is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 – plus the sources of each claim. Of course, just because something is rumored doesn’t mean it’s going to happen, but it never hurts to speculate… as long as we keep our expectations in check.
