@JeanPaul Mostly just frame drops in combat and when using Ultrahand, but only when things are very busy. A patch dropped during the review period and that's improved things, but it can still come up if infrequently
@KingMike I've heard the FC game is a little rough! That clarification on the MSX version is worth mentioning in the article though, so I'll pop that in. Thanks
@Nanami_Ataraxia That's very kind of you. It was definitely a weekend slip-up. 😅 And I deleted three whole months of 2023 too, impressively.
The March poll is there now and I've reinstated Oct-Dec in the 2023 calendar. Sorry folks. (And yes, I agree that Paranormasight should've made the top three!)
@nukatha Nintendo NA hasn't been including Wii U games its download for a while now, which is probably why these have slipped through the net. But they deserve a mention, so I'll pop the two from last week in here
@Quarth Nope! If you press 'X' on the song select screen, you can choose to play any song in Standard, Pair, or Simple mode, which either changes the input or lets you play with another person.
@SwitchForce The edit time is at the top of the article (we popped the code in at 9:18am UK time), but it was definitely doing the rounds on Twitter before then. We'll keep an eye on this and see if there are any issues with the table when we update it again.
@Friendly Not currently it seems! We'll probably have another soon so keep an eye out thanks for pointing out that this one isn't working anymore, I'll tweak the article
@Magrane Hmmm I better strip that out. Looks like the composer's YouTube and Gmail have been hacked. Thanks for the heads up! I've made an additional update to the story too.
Absolutely crushed. Kodama is behind two of my favourite RPGs ever - Phantasy Star IV and Skies of Arcadia. To say she is a legend is an understatement, and her legacy will live on in her work.
@AstroTheGamosian Yeah, aside from being made by the same person and various cameos, there isn't much to suggest the two were related before the last few years. The Tekken/Soulcalibur comparison is a pretty good one to make.
I'll change that in the article then since my wording was definitely misleading. Thanks for pointing that out
@Debo626 Oh yes! Thank you for spotting and sorry for the late response! Just an oversight Xenoblade 3 is rightfully listed this week and last week now.
For people asking about sharing screenshots to Twitter/Facebook, you'll still be able to do that on Switch
"Yes, you will still be able to post media from your Nintendo Switch system’s Album by signing in to Facebook or Twitter on your system after selecting Post."
@TowaHerschel7 I also got this from the NA page (https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/59601) so hopefully this is useful:
"Yes, you will still be able to receive Friend Suggestions for users in your social network by signing in to Facebook or Twitter on your Nintendo Switch system after selecting Friend Suggestions."
The North American help page is a lot more useful than the EU one!
@TowaHerschel7 It's happened with a Live Wire game before too! Mushihimesama was removed from the EU eShop last year and then relisted - which i'm just adding to the story.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom: How To Get The Hylian Shield
@Debo626 I think I did, actually. I should make that clearer in the guide - thanks for the heads up.
You can get them to despawn if you climb onto one of the pillars and wait. The wait time varies but they should disappear after a while.

Re: Sega Veteran And Industry Legend Rieko Kodama Has Passed Away
Absolutely crushed. Kodama is behind two of my favourite RPGs ever - Phantasy Star IV and Skies of Arcadia. To say she is a legend is an understatement, and her legacy will live on in her work.

Re: SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 Is Officially Coming To Europe
@Bunkerneath Haha, no, I think I scared some people by using that image! We've swapped it out now (should look like the Japanese one)
Re: SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 Is Officially Coming To Europe
@shock_trooper Sort of expected it but yeah, that's what I really wanted
Re: SEGA Mega Drive Mini 2 Is Officially Coming To Europe
