Mario Kart World has dozens of unlockable outfits for its wide cast of characters. These outfits are technically classified as separate characters via the character select screen, but not every character gets outfits. Characters pulled from background environments like Pianta or Dolphin don’t get any outfits, sadly, so your dream of seeing Cow in a cowboy outfit in-game may be dead, but lots of other characters do get outfits. Those...
There are a ton of characters in Mario Kart World (50 to be exact), but you have to unlock a few of them first. If you’re rushing to unlock Cataquack or Rosalina, you’ll want to know the specifics for unlocking certain characters, as some require you to clear a cup, whereas others require you to use the Kamek item. For the sake of organization, we’re considering character outfits an entirely...
Nintendo Switch 2’s GameShare and GameChat are two new ways to play multiplayer games with friends, even if your friends don’t own the game you want to play. One of you needs to own a Switch 2 and a GameShare compatible game to get started, though who you can play with, which games work, and how to create a session depends on whether you’re using GameShare or GameChat. Below, we...
Turns out there are bosses everywhere in Elden Ring Nightreign, including the top of the castle that is normally a pain to clear out. Reddit user Aphod posted a clip showing how to scale its walls and reach the boss sitting on top, bypassing tons of enemies on the way. I hopped into a solo run to test it and, yeah, it totally works.The castle is always located in the...
What do Re-Logic, Eric Barone, and CD Projekt have in common? They won't quit screwing around with (read: improving) their old games: Less than a week after announcing that The Witcher 3 is getting "one more patch" to add cross-platform mod support, the studio revealed today that Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a new update, too.Word of the forthcoming patch was delivered near the end of today's developer stream, which was...
On top of being the upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 might be the best way to experience some of the previous generation’s most critically acclaimed titles. Both Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom already stole our hearts with their scale, presentation, and gameplay when they were released in 2017 and 2023, respectively. Whether it’s your first time playing or your 50th, the Switch...
I've got a few dozen Elden Ring Nightreign expeditions on the books, and it shouldn't surprise anyone when I say they haven't all been successes. Many of those failures have come agonizingly close to victory, where my team's Nightlord target survived by only a sliver of health—a sliver it probably wouldn't have had if we'd entered the arena with one or two more levels.Luckily, Nightreign players on Reddit have found...
The Switch 2 is finally here, and so are its various launch titles. But unlike the launch of the Switch 1 — which saw everyone and their mother eagerly diving into Breath of the Wild — the Switch 2 isn’t launching alongside a massive new RPG from a beloved Nintendo franchise. It is, however, launching alongside a massive RPG: Cyberpunk 2077. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is the only non-Nintendo RPG...
Plenty of existing Nintendo games are getting an upgrade for Switch 2, but few of them are benefitting nearly as much as Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. The open-world game released on Switch 1 in a haggard state that defied the capabilities of the technologically challenged console. Now that the Switch 2 is here, things are looking much better, literally. That’s good news for anyone who likes hunting for Pokémon with...
Nintendo Switch 2 is here, and if you’re a Nintendo fan (and, more importantly, a Switch owner), you probably have a bunch of well-used original Switch controllers. After testing controllers using my own Switch 2, the good news is that you can use almost all of your original Switch controller hardware on Switch 2, with a few exceptions. There is some hardware incompatibility, but little that would prevent you from...
