News
Check out Zelda’s little horse in the newest video, “Echoes of Wisdom”
I do not have much so as to add to this headline. Look, there are a number of cool things on this latest upcoming movie, but for me it’s all about that little horse. I really like him. Give me an Amiibo of this, please.
Reviews and mini-observations
Mars 2120 ($19.99)
This game… is clunky. Very, very clunky. The animations look choppy, the collision detection is not entirely accurate, the enemy AI is everywhere, the signage is actually poor, and it doesn’t really have much to supply in a genre that is rife with excellent titles on Switch. You must wonder if there is a place for a game inspired by grit on a platform where sixty bucks and a Nintendo Switch Online subscription get you six shots of the true deal? Well, I’ll leave that query as much as you, dear reader.
I’ll just say it has its moments. The atmosphere is sweet. I like the combination of melee and ranged combat you should use, despite the fact that the sport never does much to transcend the boss fights. It’s cinematic at times. I actually like a number of the environments. And I’ll say I’ve played worse Metroidvania-style games. The game works, even when it looks like it’s falling apart at times. Heck, for those who can stop yourself from remembering it exists, you may even have a little bit fun with it.
is unquestionably ambitious in some ways, but I wish that ambition prolonged to its design as well. Despite the trouble put into the production values, the sport itself never quite shakes the Dollar Store feel. A little bit more polishing of its foundations and possibly one or two interesting plot twists could have made it something special, but because it is, I feel it completely fails to prove itself against a lot of its strong competitors within the Metroidvania genre.
SwitchArcade Rating: 3/5

Volgarr the Viking II ($19.99)
I’ll be honest: I didn’t think this game would ever get a sequel, and I’m overjoyed that it finally has. It’s an uncompromisingly difficult motion platformer, but not one which cannot be learned with practice. There’s a precision and satisfaction to it that few games within the genre can match today, and I’m comfortable to report that this sequel offers one other helping of that great things. I’ll have a review of the sport up early next week, so stay tuned.
Natsu-Mon: twentieth Century Summer Child ($39.99)
Kaz Ayabe, the creator of this game from just a few years ago, is back. And this time it’s… one other game about being a child and having fun with a peaceful summer vacation within the Japanese countryside. Look, he’s good at it and there aren’t many individuals doing this type of thing, so I say let him cook. In this game, you are the kid of a traveling circus manager. You’ve come to a small town and you have got to benefit from the summer while the adults work. There’s quite a bit to do and see. I’ll be writing a review of this game soon, but I feel a lot of you already know if that is for you or not.
Legend of the Dark Witch Episode 2 ($9.99)
Wow, I didn’t think this is able to ever occur. The first game hit Switch years ago, however the second and third have remained MIA. For those unfamiliar with the series, it is a frivolously inspired side-scrolling motion game with an upgrade system. In some ways, it feels very independent and… I mean, it’s independent. But that is a great thing for fans searching for something to munch on.
Turnover
Well… I do not know, it isn’t a very exciting list overall, but there are some good things on there. For 4 dollars? That’s sweet. 505 Games is ending their latest outbox sale, so for those who want something from them, now’s the time to act. Check out these lists!

That’s all for today, friends. We’ll be back tomorrow with an everyday Wednesday. That means I can have to conjure up a review to fill within the gaps, but I feel we’ll cross that bridge once we get to it. I’m not back to 100% yet, but possibly by next week my hospital woes might be over for a month or two. I hope you all have an awesome Tuesday, and as all the time, thanks for reading!
If you ask random people in what their favorite class is – classic or – everyone will announce something else as absolutely one of the best. After all, all of us have favorite playtiles. But in case you are latest because you could have never played the unique, there may be actually one class that covers one of the best of offers, right? Is! Here is one of the best class for a beginner, as I used to be declared. – Brandon Morgan Read more

I wanted to share with you. The image above is a real screenshot There is Darth Sidious, i.e. the emperor, or Sheev Palpatine from holding the assault rifle. I thought you would want to see it, so I share with you.
I really don’t have any more to add. I think I should give some context. On Friday he started the latest season in the game. As may indicate the above image of Palpatin with a assault rifle, The new season is –. And our old friend, the emperor, was added to the constantly developing list of characters. This means that the emperor can land and kill Goku with a shotgun. We live in a strange world, huh?
To unlock Emperor Palpatine, you must reach the seventh new battle pass. He is the last great reward. You can also unlock its lego version. This one cannot hold the gun, but he can hold swords, blasters and bows. This is cool. You can also unlock the red version of the emperor as you can see . I prefer his old black robes, but from each of them.
It seems to me that when I actually have you here, I should mention that each one characters which are added may also accommodate assault rifles. There are rumors that the C-3PO could also be added to the game soon. If so, he may even give you the option to load and shoot with pistols. It’s wild.
If this happens, I will try to remember to update this blog and provide their image. Until then, enjoy this image of the emperor from holding the assault rifle.

She learned that the video game website was sold to Click-Farm Powerhouse, and a big a part of her Masthead was released. Sales were later Announced in a press release. Many employees have published online concerning the loss of labor or that colleagues are out of labor.
“I am no longer with. If you employ, consider many talented writers and editors on the market”, ” Sent co -founder and EIC Chris Plante. “Each of them deserves a spot in your staff. I won’t discuss selling more because I used to be not involved. I intend to spend time with my child. Win where I can.”
The sale was confirmed in a press release, which didn’t mention the discharge. The price of the contract has not been disclosed. Sources say that the deputy editor Maddy Myers and the Games editor Zoë Hannah belong to those that remain in Polygon. Editor -in -chief Chelsea Stark He said the releases including over 20 employees. Vox Media didn’t answer immediately on the request for comment.
“I’ll say more later, but I haven’t got a job anymore” Common older reporter Nicole Carpenter. “I’m on the lookout for a job, like lots of my amazing colleagues. I actually have many ideas and things that I would love to write. I’m really shocked.” “I had a terrific time at work” Senior author Michael McWherttor. “Let me know if you’ve any cool job offers!”
Established in 2012 in VOX Media, the site quickly became one of the most important points of sale of original reviews, reports and cultural analysis in the world of games. The coverage of video games, movies, television, comics and board games is one of the best, while its sensitivity to the future of design has helped to raise the way of presentation and online stories.
Valtt is based in Montreal and works and other mass aggregators. The company is run by Hassan Youssefa, which started its digital media with porn websites. “Adding a polygon not only strengthens our editorial muscles, but in addition strengthens our ability to provide unparalleled value to each recipients and advertisers,” said Youssef in a press release.
In the report at the start of this 12 monthsMany former colleagues accused the present media resources of Valet of being a exploiting content of content. “There is basically bad work in journalism. And then there’s a spot like Valt,” said a former colleague. “(This) considered one of the worst places I actually have ever worked and might be considered one of the worst publications of journalism I’ve ever seen.”
Valt replied to the investigation through the position Because defamation claims that reporting was filled with mistakes and caused the founding father of the corporate “Huge emotional stress, influencing (amongst others) his mood, temperament and sleep ability”.
Wox Media Union blew up sales and exemptions that took place when it is marked in the next contract. “Probably much more demoralizing is the choice of VOX Media to sell a praised game site to an organization known from alleged conditions of exploitation and devaluation of rigorous journalism for the raising of content”, IT, IT wrote in a press release. “Lack of respect VOX Media for the fame of Polygon within the media of games, labor and passion of staff and a solid community of players and fans who support him couldn’t be more clear.”
The: “Losing to such an organization just isn’t only a loss for Vox Media, but for our industry and online culture as a complete. From a sustainable development perspective, there is no such thing as a financial or long -term sense and says concerning the lack of care and consideration for this company and its staff.”
Update 5/1/2025 17:06 ET: VOX SVP Chris Grant, which he founded, shared insight into the contract and the frustration is visible on BlueSky. “14 years ago I threw what is going to occur to a startup polygon called Sports Blogs Inclas on the undeading third floor of the DC tenement house,” he wrote. “I kept my laptop on my lap and went through the deck. Today the identical company – now called Vox Media – Sold Polygon to Valet.”
He continued: “Their press message proudly calls Polygon” Publication of Premium games “, but Valet literally refused to meet me or answer one query during this process. They were extremely optional as to how the publication of games even becomes “premium”. Really (!) I hope that the remaining POLYGON team has a likelihood to proceed working, which everyone was so cared about!
“My most honest thanks to the whole team, I’m so sorry, everything ended.”
