Celebrate Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edtion's Release With Some New Offical Art

  The wait is almost over! After months of rumours, and a surprise announcement during the last Nintendo Direct, Chrono Cross: The Radical Dreamers Edition will be hitting Switch consoles around the world tomorrow. This package contains the 1999 PS1 classic  Chrono Cross , along with the never-before-localised sound novel  Radical Dreamers . Chrono Cross is most distinctly remembered for its stunning score - which Square Enix has been acutely aware of, promoting the many accompanying arrangements - and beautiful artwork. And to celebrate the game's upcoming release, Chrono Cross' character designer, Nobuteru Yuuki, has sketched up some gorgeous new artwork featuring two major characters from the game - the Aussie-accented thief Kid and the mysterious Franglais-speaking Harle. Yuuki also had this to say about this upcoming remaster, which has been kindly translated by Genki_JPN on Twitter: "The disturbing state of the world is a shame, but now I would like to celebrate with

The Best Kirby and the Forgotten Land Power-Ups To Reach Maximum Poyo Mode

  Having fully shifted into poyo-mode with roughly two-thirds (or three fifths, some sort of fraction. Math is hard) of   Kirby and the Forgotten Land   finished, I can finally say I’ve nestled myself into a comfortable groove of go-to power load outs. Venturing out into the dystopian world with nothing but my wits and Kirby’s cuteness about me has become a cake walk, thanks to Kirby’s rad powers and their even radder evolutions. I’d even caution to say they’ve managed to offset the shock from viewing any of Kirby’s   Mouthful Modes . (I’m looking at you  Initial D Karby . Like anatomically, how does he drive? Does he use his tongue?) Anyway, in experimenting with different powers and becoming familiar with their use cases in several time-trial Treasure Hunts, I’ve started the habit of picking out three power abilities based on how drippy his fits are, along with how much light work they make out of enemies and boss fights. Honorable mentions to the  Bayonetta  Witch Time  (or  JoJo ’s

Elden Ring AFK Rune Farming Trick Is Ruining PVP Invasions

Elden Ring can be a little too tricky for some users, it seems. FromSoftware’s notoriously difficult title throws more than its fair share of boss fights, enemy ambushes, and deadly areas at its players. To get stronger, players must grind for Runes to level up at Sites of Grace. But what happens if you can’t earn Runes fast enough to keep up with the challenge? Right now, several malicious fans are taking advantage of a new Rune farming trick in Elden Ring PVP – and it’s ruining the game for others. If you really want Runes fast, but you don’t want to ruin the experience for your fellow players, we’ve got you covered. After all, there’s a  way to reset the sleeping dragon Rune farm in Elden Ring  for thousands of easy Runes!

Final Fantasy XIV will continue its story and become easier for solo players on April 12th

Final Fantasy XIV's patch 6.1 is edging closer, close enough that it now has a released date, April 12th, and a new trailer. The trailer is below, showing some of the main scenario quests which continue the story from the end of the recent Endwalker expansion. Everything is so decadent in Final Fantasy, I love it. The costumes alone would bankrupt a movie studio attempting ot make a live action adaptation. I'm also particularly fond of the boss who seems to tie adventures in ribbon, then unravels it to send them spinning away. Patch 6.1 will bring new main scenario quests, a 24-player alliance raid, a new residential area for players to buy houses in, and a bunch more. One of the most interesting changes is the expansion of the 'Duty Support System', which will let players complete any 4-player dungeons and trials from the base game alongside NPC companions rather than needing to find a party of humans. "Major revisions to Cape Westwind and later duties are also

Big Horizon Forbidden West Patch Makes The Game Less Shimmery

  Developer Guerrilla Games has rolled out a  massive patch  for  Horizon Forbidden West , purporting to fix more than a dozen quests, plus a litany of minor hiccups. It also aims to make the game less shimmery. Those who made it through the era of  puddlegate   unscathed  should rejoice. Horizon Forbidden West , released last month for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, is the sequel to  the best open-world game of 2017 . Like its predecessor, you, as a young woman named Aloy, explore a 31st-century post-apocalyptic America in search of an artificial intelligence program. Along the way, you use futuristic bows and arrows to hunt robots modeled after prehistoric beasts. It rules. Since launch, players have taken umbrage with the game’s shimmering—essentially, that some objects, the fauna in particular, look as if you’re viewing them through the glass wall of an aquarium. Players say it’s more noticeable in  Horizon ’s performance mode, which runs the game at a constant 60fps frame rate a

Random: Requests For Zelda Ports Increase Following BOTW 2 Switch Delay

  Yesterday, was a pretty rough one for Switch owners, with Nintendo announcing the delay of  The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 . On a more positive note, it at least gives Nintendo more time to make this anticipated release even better. The only problem we have now is that the Switch could be without a Zelda game for 2022. So what can Nintendo do about this? As usual, social media has chimed in, and there are calls for the company to port  Wind Waker  and  Twilight Princess  to the hybrid platform.

Bloodborne’s 2022 Return to Yharnam event starts today

  It’ll run through April 7, 2022 The 2022 Return to Yharnam annual Bloodborne community event is now underway, and will run through April 7. Hosted by the community Discord, the open-ended community-centric activity is a way to get people playing and talking about  Bloodborne  again for a few weeks, and as a participant: it’s usually a blast. The event is completely “play your way,” in the sense that you can just boot up the game, enjoy it at your pace (for the first time, or a repeat run), and sign off. But as usual, there’s a few extra things you can do to spice things up that the event runners encourage others to partake in: Create a brand new character and co-op and PVP whenever able Change your matchmaking to worldwide to interact with as many people as possible Leave the message “you’re in the know, right?” next to the bath messengers in the hub area and upvote when possible While  Bloodborne  is a fantastic game, I wish it was on more platforms. It just goes to show you the ind
