Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will welcome Pyra and Mythra as its latest DLC fighters later today, bringing in the two-in-one living weapons from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai announced the news in an extended breakdown for the new characters, coming just about two weeks after they were first announced in February's long-awaited Nintendo Direct presentation . The roughly 35-minute video presentation gives you a thorough look at how the two characters play, channeling their respective powers of Fire and Light to power their abilities, and it also gives you a look at their accompanying stage: the Cloud Sea of Alrest. It's a traveling stage, set on the back of Azurda (AKA Gramps), with platforms pulled straight from the game world sailing past at regular intervals. As a two-in-one fighter, you're free to switch between Pyra and Mythra at any time during combat by using her down special - which will sound familiar if you used to play Zelda/Sheik … [Read more...] about Super Smash Bros.

Since the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Mario update , players have been getting creative with how they use the Super Mario items on their island. Reddit user u/VictoryRoles has shared their genius idea of keeping one Warp Pipe stationed in their home and carrying another around with them in their pockets. Players will no longer have to race back to their home to pick up something from their inventory with this savvy Warp Pipe trick. Another user, u/Chikachuuu , has used the pipes to create their own subway line which incorporates terraforming, inclines, and two perfectly placed warp pipes to create the illusion of traveling underground to the other side of their island. Other fans commented on this post with one noting that it was “Literally the smartest thing I’ve ever seen” I made a subway line with my warp pipes! from r/AnimalCrossing Fans of Nintendo’s 2020 hit have also started noticing the benefit of the Warp Pipes, with one user noticing that … [Read more...] about Animal Crossing: New Horizons players find new ways to use the Super Mario Warp Pipe

Masahiro Sakurai, the director of the Super Smash Bros. series, has recently opened up about the character selection of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - noting that the large number of in-game sword fighters is not up to him. In an interview with YouTube channel Washa Live , which has been translated by Nintendo Everything , Sakurai stated “like it or not, it’s not up to me whether another sword fighter goes in the game” after the presenters teased the video game developer about the addition new arrivals Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2. The presenter then followed up with “you’re right. But even the players talk about it, you know? Like, “Agh! Why another sword fighter?!”” To which Sakurai responded, “Well even if it is another sword fighter, it will be fine as long as we balance them properly.” Sakurai continues by giving fans a small insight into how the character implementation process is carried out, noting that sword fighters are easier to implement … [Read more...] about Sakurai reminds fans that the amount of sword fighters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate is not up to him

AMD has officially unveiled the speeds and feeds of its latest GPU, the Radeon RX 6700 XT . It transpires that the rumours were right on this one, and there's only a single GPU on the way, not the usual XT and non-XT variants. AMD also provided a few benchmarks to get our heads around. The first slide to feature benchmarks had comparisons against the GTX 1070 Ti and the RTX 20870 Super, which had us worried about how it would fair against more recent releases, but thankfully it quickly followed this up with comparisons to the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 3070 . That first slide does show how far we've come though, and AMD is at least definitely in the game at this stage. The fact it has a GPU that can beat the RTX 2080 Super at 1440p is nothing to be sniffed at. When it comes to the more up-to-date graphics cards, things look fairly healthy, although we'd recommend the usual pinch of sodium chloride, as AMD may have cherry-picked these games to some extent. Not … [Read more...] about AMD shows the Radeon RX 6700 XT outpacing Nvidia’s RTX 3070 in selected games
