List of all Nintendo Switch demos
Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Thousands of games are currently available on Nintendo Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
Spocco Points farming guide for Nintendo Switch Sports Resort
Posted on 3 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over the best Spocco Points farming methods in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort.
Spocco Points are the central currency in Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and they’re used at the Item Center to purchase clothes, equipment, hairstyles, and pretty much all of the game’s customization options. Each week, there are two weekly item collections available alongside a monthly collection. That means you’ll be needing a boatload of Spocco Points every single week to get them all.
How to easily beat Metroid Prime 4’s hard mode
Posted on 3 weeks ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Do you want to 100 percent complete Metroid Prime 4? Okay, so now that we’ve lost 80 percent of you with that single sentence, here’s more information: to do that, you need to complete the game on normal mode and hard mode with 100 percent log book scans and items collected. You’ll also need to collect every single green energy crystal in the game on one file – it doesn’t matter which one.
For the most part, none of these tasks are at all difficult – they’re just time-consuming and repetitive. The one task that is somewhat difficult, however, is very easy to trivialize. I’m very surprised I haven’t seen this documented anywhere online; it’s probably on a forum somewhere if I looked a little longer, but you can completely remove hard mode’s difficulty with an amiibo.

How to beat the secret boss in Splatoon Raiders
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over how to beat Splatoon Raiders’ secret boss.
Splatoon Raiders is a pretty big game – getting to the main ending is simple enough, taking somewhere around 20 hours or more if you really take your time. In order to get to the secret boss, though, you’ll have to fight through tons of challenges that could bump your total play time up to around 40 hours.
Thankfully, Splatoon Raiders’ secret boss is nowhere near as difficult as Octo Expansion’s – we were able to clear it in under three attempts, though each attempt takes quite a while. We’re being as vague as possible in this first section to avoid spoilers, so save this post and come back later if you get to the secret boss and need some tips.

Star Fox 100 percent completion criteria list
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
You may have noticed we’re posting this Star Fox 100% completion criteria list over a month after the game originally released on Switch 2. Why so long? Because one month is, give or take, about how long it took this writer to fully complete the game! There are quite a few tasks to fulfill if you want to go for 100 percent completion, and they range from extremely difficult to extremely time-consuming, and sometimes even both at the same time. You’ll need tons of patience and lots of skill to make it through, so if you’re up for the challenge, here’s how you can do it yourself.

7 Star Annihilape guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
We haven’t written up a guide for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet 7 Star Tera Raid Battles in a while, but the currently ongoing 7 Star Annihilape event is extremely difficult. We figured it’d be helpful to share some tips.
Annihilape is running Tera Ghost, and it has Rage Fist, which increases in power by 50 every time it takes damage. And if you have any CPUs in the battle at all, Annihilape could take damage up to four times per turn. Needless to say, Rage Fist is quickly going to spiral out of control, eventually outdamaging even the strongest Z-Move. That means you absolutely must run a Normal-type, but Annihilape also has Close Combat. To make matters worse, it has Defiant, which makes this raid much more difficult if you’re a solo player. Luckily, we’ve come up with a two-Pokemon team to take 7 Star Annihilape down.

Where to find the Starmie Doll in Pokemon Pokopia
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
For those playing Pokemon Pokopia, we’ve got a dedicated guide about where to find the Starmie Doll and how to get it.
Pokemon Pokopia’s Bubbly Basin DLC recently dropped, and with the new area also comes a new Dream Island. Inevitably, you’ll run out of materials to find within Bubbly Basin, so you’ll need to use the newly-introduced Starmie Doll to grab some coral, ore, and pearls. And while the easiest way to get a Starmie Doll is to take a picture of it on a Cloud Island – 6DXL PD6F is our personal favorite, and includes just about every item in the game – we’ll go into more detail on that, as well as the intended way to obtain a Starmie Doll plus the Legendary* Pokemon you can find on the island with a rare chance. If you don’t want to be spoiled on who that is, you might want to come back later – otherwise, let’s get right into it.

Star Fox Battle Mode tips and tricks
Posted on 2 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some tips and tricks that’ll help you get more wins in Star Fox’s Battle Mode! As a side note, with every match you complete, you get a new avatar or banner unlock, so this is technically required for 100 percent completion.
Most people playing Star Fox are probably doing so for the campaign and challenge modes, which is totally fine – they’re both fun! The battle mode is surprisingly in-depth too, though, and it’s fairly easy for anyone to participate in regardless of skill level. That said, you can’t exactly carry over all of your skills from the campaign and challenge modes, because things work rather differently in battle mode thanks to its unique set of rules.

Beginner tips for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Posted on 4 months ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Those playing Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition can now check out our lineup of beginner tips.
June’s Nintendo Direct announced Switch 2 Editions for all three numbered Xenoblade games, which means it’s the perfect time to get into one of Nintendo’s greatest franchises of all time. If you’re new to the series and haven’t played Xenoblade before, we’d recommend starting out with the first game and playing them in order.
As with all games, Xenoblade Chronicles does have a little bit of a learning curve. The combat isn’t what’s typically expected from a JRPG, so if you’re looking to get into this game for the first time and need some pointers, we’ve got you covered. No major spoilers here, though we do discuss two early-game party members, so if you really want to know absolutely nothing going into the game you might want to come back later.
