Costumes for characters and a upcoming DLC fighter will be paid content you can purchase, but the upcoming stages will be completely free for all buyers. This is a great move, encouraging people to continue playing the game.

GameXplain: Shin Megami Tensei Switch Analysis (Reveal Trailer)
GameXplain takes some time to run through the analysis machine to research some SMT mysteries discovered in the latest trailer for the long-running series. Coming to Nintendo Switch sometime in the future, Atlus/SEGA released a trailer showing off some of the creatures that will likely appear in the game. But what about other interesting bits of information?
Watch the above video from GameXplain to find out some more discoveries present in the trailer shown during the Switch Presentation from January.
Sonic Generations: Aquarium Park Stage Mod Showcase (SonicWindBlue)
Sonic Colors offered very creative zones for Sonic to dash through, but many of them were built in mind to support the Wisp mechanic. This allowed the Blue Blur to morph into a laser, rocket or even a drill! Turning into a drill was used heavily in the zone Aquarium Park. Within bodies of water, Sonic can use the Yellow Wisp to turn into a drill and this made up a good chunk of the level design in the zone.
I say all of this, considering how difficult it could be porting them into Sonic Generations. With only two Wisp Powers (and only one usable for Modern Sonic), it’s hard to make levels from Colors feel natural within Generations. A mod recently released that has Aquarium Park from Colors playable within Generations and after watching the above video (captured by SonicWindBlue), I’m impressed how fun the level looks.
Minor changes to level design make the levels look like a blast to run through in Generations and higher resolution assets being created/used for the mod give it a sharp look. It’s a great level mod and I encourage you give it a shot if you have a PC version of Generations installed. Below are system requirements for the PC version of Generations.
► System Requirement:

Highlight – Sword Art Online Abridged from ‘Something Witty Entertainment’
SAO is a series many love and enjoy, but an equal amount loath & hate. It’s a divisive series for sure but ones I both enjoy and have issues with at the same time. I wrote lengthy reviews for Season One and Two last year on 3WIREL and had mixed thoughts on both of them, but noted the bright points each one offered. With any popular series, there will be an abridged series linked to it.
Abridged Series is something fans work together on to make a more comedic and self referential experience to something they respect and/or enjoy. SAO Abridged is something I wanted to highlight today due to one factor; the characters.
The cast of SAO might share names with the incarnations of people here, but that is the only similar thing about them (mostly). They are completely unique people that in many cases, are nuts. Kirito and Asuna are wonderful examples of this, as both are psychotic in many ways. It leads to really funny moments that can make one laugh even if they don’t enjoy the source material.
I highly recommend you give this series a shot and I provided a link to the series above this text. It’s not complete yet, but episodes are still set for release in the future.
Thoughts on Nintendo Switch: Launch Line-Up Breakdown
The Nintendo Switch is only weeks away and many are excited to see a grand ‘switch’ for the company. Coming off the Wii U and 3DS, it’s a console that is a celebration of everything Nintendo accomplished over the years, but hardware is nothing without the software. The Switch will be launching with a number of games and I will be detailing my impressions of every game releasing at launch through analysis done utilizing footage online, playing other versions of games, and looking into information we covered in the past.

Nintendo Taking Action Against Stolen Switch Units; PR Statement Releases
Remember when we posted about a few people getting early Nintendo Switch units and how one person released footage of the console’s UI via video? The person who shared the video showing off the UI was sold a stolen unit and when asked about things, sent the system back to Nintendo without any hard feelings/problems. However, the people that stole the Switch units had Nintendo given the following comment.
Earlier this week, individuals claimed to prematurely purchase a small number of Nintendo Switch systems from an unspecified retailer. Nintendo has determined these units were stolen in an isolated incident by employees of a U.S. distributor, with one system being illegally resold.
The individuals involved have been identified, terminated from their place of employment and are under investigation by local law enforcement authorities on criminal charges. Nintendo Switch will launch worldwide on March 3, 2017, and we look forward to everyone being able to discover the wonders of the new system for themselves at that time.
To put it bluntly, Nintendo isn’t playing around. They are angry with Switch’s getting out in the wild and took immediate action.

Final Fantasy XIV Being Considered for Nintendo Switch and Xbox One Release
Square Enix is present at the Switch launch with I Am Setsuna but they have much more planed for Nintendo’s latest platform. With Dragon Quest titles confirmed for Japan release, many are wondering about Final Fantasy’s future on Switch. FFXIV is being considered for the Switch and Xbox One according to an official Square Enix twitter post.
This is interesting, as it would be a massive undertaking making a portable MMO JRPG. Granted it has happened before through Phantasy Star Online 2 for the PlayStation Vita and a Monster Hunter MMO on the same platform. Seeing a version of FFXIV on Switch would be quite interesting, so hopefully we hear more about this consideration in the future.
