Tasting notes.
We all remember the pain of putting together a really top-notch dish in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, consuming it and seeing the full power of its wonderful effects, only to realise that we have immediately forgotten the recipe and will never be able to make such a tasty treat by mistake again.

Yes, it looks like recipes actually exist this time around! This was revealed on the official Zelda Twitter account, @ZeldaOfficialJP, which (via the built-in Google Translate function), stated that you will be able to “look back on the dishes you made in ‘Cooking Notes'”, where you will be able to find each recipe’s ingredients and effect properties.

Prepare for Clean Cut.
After the expansive ‘Return to Castlevania‘ DLC last month, we imagined that it might be a little while before we get our next big update for Dead Cells. Clearly, we were wrong.

An early tech analysis.
As you have probably seen by now, the first impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom have officially gone live. Nintendo’s already shown a lot of select footage from the game, but one thing that hasn’t been confirmed just yet is the sequel’s performance and resolution.
Fortunately, it seems previews have been able to get an idea of how the new entry runs thanks to directly captured footage. As highlighted by Nintendo World Report, this build of Tears of the Kingdom ran at 30fps with a resolution of 1600 x 900 (900p) in docked mode.
