Mario Kart World dev talks about what went into the making of the game’s Photo Mode
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
What was it like working on Photo Mode for Mario Kart World? Planner Ayako Akaza recently provided some insight as part of a post on Nintendo’s Japanese recruitment site.
Photo Mode may seem like a straightforward feature, but actually implementing it wasn’t simple. According to Akaza, at one point, “we had crammed in a lot of features and it began to look very difficult to engage with and felt like maybe players would never actually use it”. It was also shared that Photo Mode was based on a prototype made by a programmer. After interesting tidbit is that after one of the developers wanted a vertical frame, that led to the creation of a magazine-style design.

Best Pokemon in Legends Z-A’s Season 7 Ranked Battles
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan Gnau in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We’re back again with another list of the best Pokemon in the current season of Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s ranked battles, this time for season 7. Unfortunately, this season is almost certainly the worst one yet.
This time around, you can use two restricted Legendary Pokemon on your team of three, and you can use as many Mythical Pokemon as you want. In previous seasons, there was a triangle of top Pokemon – you had Garchomp at the very top, Glaceon to counter it, and Steel-types to dispatch Glaceon as well as Fairy-types. In season 7, though, it’s all legendary spam. Every team is using two Legendary Pokemon, which means the power charts are through the roof. If you’re trying to go for the Consummate Gamer title, this season is nigh unviable because almost everything is going to KO you in a single hit.
