There’s that first moment, in every great horror game, when the player reaches that dark room… you know, the one that’s just a bit darker than the ones that came before. You have to enter the room, of course; it’s the only place left to go. You’re running low on resources, so in the back of your mind, you worry something is going to jump out at you and finish the job. Reluctantly, you press forward… and nothing happens. Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake does this a lot. So, you breathe a sigh of relief, and enter the next room… and that’s when the exact thing you were dreading happens.

Video: Nintendo Switch 2 Handheld Mode Boost comparison
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
GVG has put out a video comparison for the new Handheld Mode Boost feature on Nintendo Switch 2 which shows just how much the Switch 1 experience has improved.
The functionality was just released yesterday as part of a new firmware update. When the setting is enabled, your Nintendo Switch 2 system will treat Switch 1 games as if they’re docked while playing portably. That means the resolution will increase for a clearer picture – it’s especially important given that the screen supports 1080p resolution.

The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary predictions
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Features, General Nintendo, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
This year, The Legend of Zelda series is celebrating its 40th anniversary. And today, we’ve got a bold prediction for what we’ll see for its big anniversary: absolutely nothing.
In all seriousness, though, the timeline doesn’t line up for there to be a new 3D or 2D Zelda anytime soon. Tears of the Kingdom was in development for well over five years, and it released in 2023. Given that games are only getting bigger and more ambitious since then, there’s no way a new 3D Zelda would be ready even within another five years – it’s likely going to take a little longer than that. Likewise, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom released in 2024, and though we don’t have an exact development timeline, it’s safe to assume it started shortly after the Link’s Awakening remake wrapped up in 2019. That being said, it’s entirely possible that we see ports or a simple remake this year, though nothing has yet been confirmed at the time of writing. Some fans are even convinced that there will be a Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct – but there’s no way Nintendo has enough content coming up to pull that off, right?

Interview: Patricia Summersett on voicing Princess Zelda for nearly a decade
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Interviews, Switch, Switch 2, Wii U | 0 comments
Believe it not, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is almost ten years old. It was a massive game for many reasons – it launched alongside Nintendo Switch, was a new take for the series by going fully open-world, and introduced various aspects like voice acting in a mainline game for the characters.
Patricia Summersett has been the voice of Princess Zelda since 2017. After working on Breath of the Wild, she returned for Tears of the Kingdom as well as the Hyrule Warriors titles Age of Calamity and last year’s Age of Imprisonment.

Donkey Kong Bananza dev says Elephant Bananza “probably went too far” with destruction
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
If there’s one way in which Nintendo went “too far” in Donkey Kong Bananza, it’d be the Elephant Bananza.
The Nintendo Switch 2 game is all about destruction. There are many ways in which players can go about that in the game, but the Elephant Bananza takes that up a notch. With it, Donkey Kong can inhale almost everything around him, including some damaging terrain live lava and thorns.
