Everybody 1-2-Switch? Nah, you’re alright.
It’s a strange thing to see Nintendo swing so wildly from one extreme to another, at least in such a short timeframe.
Coming hot on the heels of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the company has gone and quietly — very quietly — announced Everybody 1-2-Switch!, the follow-up to 2017’s launch title 1-2-Switch. It is largely agreed amongst critics and fans alike that the original should have been a pack-in title to showcase the features of the then-new Joy-Con and the local multiplayer focus of the console rather than a full-price purchase. But here we are.

Double trouble.
Since its release three weeks ago, Nintendo has been pretty ruthless with patching The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. And with each patch, multiple different item duplication glitches have been fixed. However, that hasn’t deterred fans, as people keep finding new ways to easily duplicate items in unintended ways.
The newest one, which many players call the “easiest” yet, sees you taking Link down to a chasm and using a multi-shot bow.

A truly GREAT plateau.
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Jim argues that Breath of the Wild’s starting area is still fantastic in Tears of the Kingdom…
There are a lot of fantastic places that you can revisit in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Diving down from the Sky Islands was a surefire way to get me chucking out pins like Brightbloom Seeds, leaving my map looking like the sticker-covered front page of a teenager’s school notebook. Fortunately, a good few of these places were scrubbed from the list after getting the Regional Phenomena quest from Purah after mere minutes on the ground, but one area that I really, really wanted to head back to remained on my list: Link’s 100-year-old water bed.
