4 ways Animal Crossing can learn from Pokemon Pokopia for its next game
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Pokemon Pokopia was first announced for Nintendo Switch 2, I don’t think any of us really saw the game’s incredible success coming. However, it released to rave reviews just recently, and it’s so polished and well thought-out that it truly gives Animal Crossing a run for its money. In fact, many of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ biggest problems – namely its lackluster multiplayer and numerous design hurdles and limitations – feel like they were specifically addressed in Pokemon Pokopia. As a result, Pokopia actually feels like another Animal Crossing game – just with an overarching story and a bigger focus on progression. Compared to New Horizons, Pokopia has been met with an outpouring of love and support from the Pokemon community – in fact, it may be the best-received Pokemon title of the past several years. So today, we’re going over all of the bits and pieces Animal Crossing could lift from Pokopia for its next title.

5 games that benefit from Nintendo Switch 2’s Handheld Mode Boost
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Well, it’s finally happened – after writing about it in editorials for almost a year, Nintendo has gone ahead and fixed the Switch 2’s biggest flaw, being that all unpatched Switch 1 software looks blurry in handheld mode. Up until now, Nintendo has addressed the situation by issuing Switch 2 Editions of its games that increase performance. That said, though, this isn’t a solution for every single Nintendo Switch game – some third-party developers that made games no longer exist, for instance, which means some titles will never receive Switch 2 patches. So today, we’re looking at five games that currently don’t have Nintendo Switch 2 patches that benefit from the new Handheld Mode Boost feature.
