The Nintendo GameCube was a weird little console, one that had all kinds of wacky add-ons and peripherals released for it over the years, from LAN adapters to Game Boy Links to bongo drums. One thing I never knew about until today, however, were the company's plans for an official LCD screen.

Boku no Natsuyasumi is a long-running Japanese series that, with a weird and bad exception, has never been officially released in the West. That's a shame! Where publishers have failed us, though, fans are stepping up and delivering the goods.

     Destiny 2 Neomuna region chest guide

Destiny 2 Neomuna region chests can be tricky to locate, but you must open them to complete the in-game challenge and quest steps. Guardians can easily waste their time traversing Neomuna to try to find them, but since Destiny 2 is already enough of a grind without having to search all over for chests, we've put this guide together to help you find them and earn their loot rewards quickly.

You'll need to find and unlock three Destiny 2 Neomuna region chests as part of the Destiny 2 From Zero and To Hero quests, so it's worth taking steps to find them. From Zero is one of the earliest quests you'll get from Nimbus as you make your way through the Destiny 2 Lightfall mission list in the popular FPS game.

pokemon scarlet violet bug

A number of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet players found a bug in the new patch has irreparably corrupted their save files. Apparent causes include buying the DLC, downloading the DLC, or connecting to Pokemon GO. Starting a new game is fine, which means the game is not broken. But until Nintendo releases a patch addressing the issue, players should avoid downloading the DLC or syncing to Pokemon GO. [Thanks, Kotaku!]

As of the time of writing, only about a dozen players have reported losing their save files. Not all of them connected to Pokemon GO. In the original Reddit post, one poster stated that you cannot even recover the backup save. Some who have lost their save files reached out to Nintendo. However, Nintendo's response was that it was looking into it, so there is no official fix yet.

When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet launched in November 2022, it had no Pokemon GO or Pokemon Home support. Support for Pokemon GO appeared on February 27, 2023. You can send postcards to yourself or your friends, which will offer up new color patterns for Vivillon depending on where the postcard came from. You will also be able to catch a Roaming Form Gimmighoul in Pokemon GO, which you can evolve to Gholdengo after collecting 999 Gimmighoul coins.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are readily available on the Nintendo Switch. Only a minority of players reported experiencing the save-corrupting bug in Pokemon Scarlet or Violet. However, players should wait until Nintendo releases a fix if they wish to play it safe with their Pokemon and progress.

TMNT Mutant Mayhem First Trailer

Paramount Pictures released the first trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. The video showcased an inexperienced variation of the crime-fighting turtles. Scenes show them goofing around and explaining their origins to their iconic human ally, April O'Neil.

You can watch the TMNT: Mutant Mayhem teaser trailer here:
https://youtu.be/P5XBy6lMfWE

Seth Rogen is in charge of this TMNT: Mutant Mayhem reboot, which will show the experiences of the turtles finally entering the world and starting to fight crime. This first look mainly shows the youthful nature of the group. The brothers record stunts and get hurt while trying to use their weapons. Also, the bad guys in New York City don't seem to recognize them yet. The art style also stands out, as it resembles a comic book interpretation with a mixture of 3D and 2D CGI elements.

Paramount also confirmed many of the voice actors for the TMNT: Mutant Mayhem main cast. It includes:

  • April O'Neil - Ayo Edebiri
  • Donatello - Micah Abbey
  • Leonardo - Nicolas Cantu
  • Michelangelo - Shamon Brown Jr.
  • Raphael - Brady Noon
  • Splinter - Jackie Chan

Lately, there have been many new appearances of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in multimedia. 2022 saw the release of two games. One was TMNT The Cowabunga Collection, a compilation of older titles. The other was the original Shredder's Revenge.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem will hit theaters in North America on August 4, 2023. Other regions' premiere dates have yet to be confirmed.

Fire Emblem Engage Chrom Robin

Nintendo shared new information about Chrom and Robin, the "Emblem of Bonds" and the new DLC Emblem Bracelet for Fire Emblem Engage. The pair combines Chrome's swordsmanship and Robin's magic abilities and tactical prowess to play with their opponents.

Their Sync Skill is "Surprise Attack," and it prevents enemies from counterattacking when initiating attacks from terrain with evasion bonuses. Their Engage Attack "Arcthunder Sword" attacks enemies with a sword infused with magical power.

https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1632655445696614400

Their Engage Skill is "Other Half," and it allows Robin to join in with a Chain Attack when initiating the attack. Their Engage Weapon is the classic "Levin Sword," which allows the pair to attack from a distance with lightning magic.

Chrom and Robin share a bond beyond that of fate, and they show it in a conversation with Alear when both awake from their Emblem Bracelet at the same time. Similar to Edelgard, Dimitri, and Claude, they are both considered a single Emblem.

https://twitter.com/FireEmblemJP/status/1632652380964802562

Tomokazu Sugita voices Chrom in the Japanese dub of Fire Emblem Engage. Sugita is best known for his roles as Yusuke Kitagawa in Persona 5, young Joseph Joestar in the 2012 anime adaptation of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and Gintoki Sakata in the Gintama anime adaptation.

Meanwhile, Yoshimasa Hosoya voices Robin. He has previously voiced Bladewolf in the Japanese dub of Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Sonon Kusakabe in Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, and Reiner Braun in Attack on Titan.

Fire Emblem Engage is immediately available for the Nintendo Switch, and Chrom and Robin will appear alongside Veronica in Wave 3 of the DLC Expansion Pass. That will be released on March 7, 2023 in North America and March 8, 2023 in Japan.

     Water levels don't exactly have a stellar reputation in video games. They're notoriously hard to get right and have consistently appeared in lists of the worst levels ever or in rants on Reddit. But for some insane reason, the developers of Pronty decided to set the entire thing in the depths of the ocean, and somehow they've made it work. Pronty is an amalgamation of many modern Metroidvania games, not doing anything new as such but executing it all with verve. Although it was first released back in 2021, it has made the long swim upriver to the Nintendo Switch, giving me the perfect opportunity to dive in.
