Footage from the Halo Infinite campaign is going to be shown during this months’ Xbox Game Showcase event.

343 Industries confirmed that we will finally get a peak at the campaign during the July 23rd event. For those who were hoping to catch a glimpse of the multiplayer modes, sadly we will have to wait a bit longer.

Save the date! We’re excited to share what the team’s been working on – the first look at Halo Infinite’s Campaign is coming on July 23!
You’ll be able to catch the show on Xbox.com and pretty much everywhere else you may expect, including Xbox’s Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook.
We’ll see you in two weeks.

Considering how highly-anticipated Halo Infinite is, it is safe to assume that it will close the show, but it seems like this may not be the case. Commenting on a post on Twitter, Shinobi hinted that the footage will actually open the show.

Halo Infinite was shown briefly during last year’s E3 Microsoft press conference, but little has been said about the game ever since. According to rumors, the game will support HDR and it will be something special, since the team has been putting large amounts of effort into it.

Halo Infinite is releasing later in the year on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. The game will take the franchise in unexpected directions, continuing the Halo 5: Guardians story line.

The Master Chief returns in Halo Infinite – the next chapter of the legendary franchise beginning holiday 2020! Developed by 343 Industries for the entire Xbox family of devices, including Project Scarlett and Windows PCs, Halo Infinite continues the Halo 5: Guardians storyline and takes the franchise in ambitious and unexpected directions, powered by the all-new Slipspace Engine.

Animal Crossing New Horizons packs loads of new things to enjoy about the game! In Animal Crossing Mystery Islands are a great tool to utilize. They can contain rare flowers, money rocks, bamboo, rare insects and all the fruits your island doesn’t have.

We’ve built a complete guide below to all the Mystery Islands!

How Do I Earn Miles?

In New Horizons, your island is not the only one you get the chance to explore! Nintendo created a new system of currency in New Horizons: Nook Miles. While you still have Bells that can be spent on catalog items and at Nook’s Cranny, Nook Miles are a special currency.

Tom Nook will give you a few thousand miles when you first arrive on the island to start you off. Nook Miles can be earned doing daily tasks and long term tasks. You can find these tasks in the “Nook Miles” section of your phone. The daily ones are usually something like “Water 8 Flowers”, “Hit 5 Rocks” and so on. They usually pay between 100 – 200 Nook Miles per task.

The long term ones are usually “Pick 1,000 Weeds”, “Catch 250 Fish” and so on. Those usually pay between 1,000 – 2,000 Nook Miles. It sounds like a lot, but doing your daily rounds will rack up Miles quick!

How Do I Travel To Mystery Islands?

Traveling to Mystery Islands will cost you 2,000 Nook Miles a piece. Once you are ready to travel, head to the Nook Stop inside Resident Services.

Once you redeem your Nook Miles Ticket from the Nook Stop, head down to the airport.

*Note: Make sure you bring your tools to the airport. If your tools break on the Mystery Island, you can purchase more using your Nook Miles. But, to avoid spending extra miles, try to bring your important tools.

Once you’re in the airport, talk to the Dodo behind the counter. Ask him to use your Nook Miles Ticket. Once you use your ticket, you will be sent to a random island. This is why they are called Mystery Islands. You never know what you’re going to get until you arrive on the island. Animal Crossing Mystery Islands do have a certain percent of spawning, but we are not able to sway those odds in our favor.

Below, we’ve listed an image of the break downs of each type of island you can get. Throughout this article, we’re going to elaborate on all types of Animal Crossing Mystery Islands.

Normal Island

By far the most common Mystery Island to get is a Normal Island. These islands replicate the same things you will find on your own island. The same fish, bugs, native fruits, flowers, etc.

Just like on your own island, you can shake the trees to find falling items and dig up fossils to take home and get evaluated. You can also hit the rocks and find more resources for crafting, like clay and stone.

But pretty much, this island is going to be exactly like yours. This is helpful if you need more resources for crafting, but not so helpful if you’re looking for new flowers and fruit trees.

Bamboo Island

As you could probably guess, this island is full of Bamboo trees! I would highly suggest digging the Bamboo trees up to take home with you. They will take up a lot of inventory space since they don’t stack, but it’s worth it!

If you take them home and plant them, you will always have access to Bamboo to use in DIY recipes or sell for Bells. I’m also going to mention I designed a jungle theme on part of my island with Bamboo trees and stone and it looks amazing!

Besides the Bamboo, this island will have similar resources to yours and the Normal Islands. The same fish, bugs, etc.

Hardwood Island

As you could probably tell by the name, this island is filled with Hardwood trees; only Hardwood trees. Besides that, this is a very basic island and similar to the Normal Islands and yours for resources.

It’s a great island to go to if you want to farm wood. But that’s probably about it.

Fruit Island

One of my favorites!

Again, this island is going to have similar resources to yours: the same bugs, fish, clay and iron, etc. BUT, the fun part about this one is: it doesn’t have the same fruit you have on your island!

Yes, that’s right – a new fruit tree! I highly recommend you dig up at least a few and take them home with you. Once you get home, plant them. Not only will this add variety to your island, but non-native fruit sells for high prices! At some point, you may also get special DIY recipes for non-native fruit that you can now craft using your new found fruit!

Scorpion Island

Yes, you guessed it: Scorpion Island is an island where you can find Scorpions!

Because it is said there are two versions of this island, I’ll elaborate on this a little. One has lots of Bamboo trees (and Scorpions). One is an A shaped water pattern with rocks in the middle to mine for clay and Gold (and Scorpions).

Scorpions can be sold for a whopping 8,000 Bells a piece back at home, so make sure if you’re presented with this opportunity you catch as many as you can! This will also put you one step closer to completing your museum.

Tarantula Island

This island, like the Scorpion Island, is a great way to stack up Bells! These islands are full of Tarantulas. Tarantulas also sell for 8,000 Bells a piece, so make sure you go home with as many as you can!

On these types of islands, there will be a smaller island in the center. This is where you will find the Tarantulas. Make sure you go at night, since this is when Tarantulas spawn.

Flower Island

This island is similar to your home island, except for two things: it has rare, hybrid flowers and rare butterflies!

These hybrid flowers can only be found on these islands or if you breed flowers on your own island. The butterflies you can find here are also rare and totally worth the catch!

I highly recommend digging up as many rare flowers as you can! Not only are they worth a lot of money, but you can breed them and create even more rare flowers to plant on your island.

Trash Island

This island is similar to Normal Islands and your home island. It will have the same bugs and fruits. But, fishing on the island is very interesting. You won’t catch very many fish, but you will catch lots of trash!

Tons and tons of trash. You can catch boots, tires and cans. This can prove very useful for DIY crafting recipes. But if you’re not looking for trash to craft with, this island will not be much help for any other rare resources.

Bell Island

Bell Islands have just that: lots of Bells! This is personally one of my favorite Animal Crossing Mystery Islands. Instead of hitting rocks for iron or stone, you hit rocks and get Bells! There are two forms of Bell Islands. One is a smaller island in the center with rocks placed in a circle. The other one has no center and lots of Hardwood trees.

The Bell Island with the rocks at the center can only be accessed from one place. You’ll need to smash the rock that’s blocking the way. Once you do that, vault over to the center of the island. Once you’re on the center of the island, make sure you hit the rocks as quick as possible to get the maximum payout.

Other Noteworthy Mystery Islands

There are a few more islands that have their own unique features:

• Normal Island with no bug spawns.
• A Normal Island with multiple waterfalls.
• Normal Island with a mountain landscape.
• Normal Island with curved water to increase Dragonfly spawns.

The Normal Islands are by far the most common islands that spawn. But, there’s always a chance of you getting a rare island! Just save up your Nook Miles and it will pay off eventually.

The Best-Reviewed Free Games

Nintendo has given us so many games to choose from, but how many are worth the download? Keep in mind that a game being “good” is a matter of opinion. But, these are the best-reviewed free Switch games! All of the games listed below are free to download and play. You can get all of these games from the e-Shop on your Nintendo Switch. They do have in-game purchases you can make to expand your gaming experience, but it isn’t required.

None of these games require a Nintendo Switch Membership, either. So, let’s get down to it and start up our downloads!

Warframe

Warframe is a co-operative, third-person shooter with a lot of MMORPG elements to it. It boasts a multiplayer option with tons of customization content, including weapons, Warfaces and choosing your own strategies! With 18 worlds to explore, Warframe will keep you busy for a while.

Fortnite

Fortnite is no unknown game. There’s probably a good chance you already it downloaded to your Switch. But if you don’t, here’s your chance!

Fortnite is the ultimate Battle Royale game. You build and battle it out with other people to get the #1 spot. Along the way, you pick up weapons, health restorations and great tools!

Not only does this game require strategy and practice, it’s also extremely fun and addicting! Throw in all the seasonal updates they release and you’re bound to have a good time.

Paladins

Paladins is an interesting game; it’s the best of both worlds! Paladins is a cross-platform hero shooter combined with a new platform. It’s exciting and rewarding, similar to Overwatch. Both casual gamers and competitive gamers alike enjoy it. It’s been reviewed as one of the best multiplayer shooters for the Switch!

Super Kirby Clash

Super Kirby Clash is a fun and adventurous game! It’s an easy to replay game, it packs tons of bosses to defeat and has great RPG mechanics. This game also gives you a lot of content to play before suggesting any purchases.

So, you have plenty of time to have fun and destroy bosses! The online multiplayer mode is a little bit of a mess, but that doesn’t stop the game from being one of the most popular free Switch games!

Brawlhalla

Brawlhalla is a well-platformed, fighter game with beautiful art and several game modes. It does slightly lack some interest and can seem like you’re standard fighting game. But, it’s a fun add to your game collection to play with friends or try it out!

Dauntless

Dauntless is a well structured game. It has some good elements of Monster Hunter, but you can play with friends on other platforms! In addition, it doesn’t try to hit you in the face with purchases, which is always nice.

At times, it being ported does show in a performance perspective, but it’s still a great and enjoyable game. Plus, it costs nothing but time. So why not give it a shot?

Asphalt 9: Legends

Asphalt 9: Legends is an arcade racing game that is surprisingly exciting! It does have an annoying habit of pushing purchases, but if you’ve played those types of games on your phone, it shouldn’t bother you.

It has a few small purchase racing starter packs that are actually worth the money. So, if you’re looking to put a small amount into it, it’s not a bad idea. But, it is not required, so enjoy the game however you please!

SMITE

SMITE is a great take on a MOBA with refined features, like themed events and new Gods. There’s plenty to enjoy about this game, including a large roster and plenty of modes to unlock.

It does have a bit of a learning curve if you’ve never played before, but in my opinion, it’s worth it. You can grind out the game to earn a Season Pass and Skins, but it will take a while. Nonetheless, it’s a great game for the Switch and definitely worth trying out.

DC Universe Online

DC Universe was one of the earlier MMO’s on the market. It does tend to have some repetitive game play and older style graphics. But, it has very expansive customization options and a lot of content to play for free.

Like others, you do have the option to purchase things on the game, but a very large chunk of it is free, so let’s enjoy!

Arena Of Valor

Arena of Valor is an enjoyable take on MOBA’s. It had a few issues when it was first launched, but besides that, it is one of the most popular games out there. Since it’s free to play, it’s completely worth giving a shot!

Indie Games: What Are They?

Nintendo has given us a great opportunity to find the best Switch Indie games since there’s over 95 of them!

An independent (indie) game is a game that is made by a few individuals or a small development team. These individuals or small development teams don’t have the budget or financial support that large-scale companies (like EA and Square Enix) have.

Because they have independence, the games produced by these individuals typically have more unique experiences and risks. These games are usually always sold on online platforms since they don’t have strong publishing/financial support.

But, these games are awesome for the sole fact that they are unique and provide you the chance to support small gaming companies as well.

Game Play

Courtesy of Nintendo’s e-shop, we have screenshots of game play on the Nintendo Switch!

What We Know

Nintendo has not given us much to go on for Metroid Prime 4, but we do know it is on it’s way.

Metroid Prime 4 has been in the development stage for a long time. This may lead you to believe that it’s launching soon, but unfortunately, you may have to change those expectations. Metroid Prime 4’s long development phase is partly due to retooling. On January 25, 2019, the game’s producer, Shinya Takahashi, explained that the original studio developing Metroid Prime 4 didn’t deliver a satisfactory product. This lead to the game having to restart development from scratch under Retro Studios.

This is positive news for longtime fans, since Retro Studios developed the first three Metroid Prime games. But, it’s also bad news, since this means that a game with at least three years of development time had to restart.

Where Does This Put The Release Date?

Well, that’s a tough question. The previous release dates don’t help out much. At times, they’ve gone 8 years without a new game and at times they’ve released 2 games in one year.

If they started development on Metroid Prime 4 in 2017 and Nintendo ended it in 2020, we can assume the company ideally had a 3 year development-time planned. This leads us to believe the game may be done being developed in 2023, potentially 2024.

In short, the game is a way’s out. But, at the end of the day, we can appreciate Nintendo for pulling the plug on games that don’t meet their expectations.

There are game play trailers and screenshots that were released, but after Nintendo pulled the plug on the development of the game, the game will be drastically different than the game play shown below.

Hopefully we will see some more news soon!

The 7 New EA Games Coming To The Switch

During EA’s Play media presentation last week, Electronic Arts exposed it’s  support for Nintendo Switch. This is probably due to fans asking Electronic Arts for more games on the Nintendo Switch for the past 3 years.

“You can expect seven new games coming to Switch [from EA] in the next 12 months,” Respawn social media boss Alex Ackerman said. “[That includes] Burnout Paradise coming June 19th and Apex Legends later this year.”

On top of Apex Legends and Burnout, EA announced that Lost In Random and FIFA 21 are both also making their way to the Switch.

One of the games is an EA Original. This one is from Velan Studios, who EA signed a deal with last year. Velan was produced during EA Play. It was part of a teaser for publishing efforts.

Then EA is going back to remaster a racing game. As a followup to Burnout Paradise Remastered, they are also going to update Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit. Similar to Burnout, that game will also arrive on the Switch, in addition to other consoles and PC.

Finally, EA is going to port its Plants vs. Zombies games to the Nintendo Switch. Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville will hit the shelves and Nintendo system at some point in the next year.

In Conclusion, here are the seven EA games launching on the Nintendo Switch this year:

• Burnout Paradise
• Apex Legends
• FIFA 21
• Plants vs. Zombies Battle for Neighborville
• Lost In Random
• Velan Studios game
• Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit
