Some of the smaller changes Nintendo is making to the Switch’s online approach continue to reinforce those early impressions, too. The fact that the Switch will have a paid service is big news for those who have long endured an anemic online multiplayer offering on previous Nintendo consoles, and Nintendo continued to shift its online account services toward a more traditional model this week. Nintendo refreshed its account system landing page earlier this week, and gamers now have access to the Nintendo Account ID registration system, a new account that will be tied into the Switch’s online services and kept separate from the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS’ services....

During their ventures, 2B and 9S will be forced to battle their way through the machine lifeforms that plague the world, but not all of them seek to cause trouble.

Of the three items required for this NieR Replicant side quest, the rice and the mushrooms are the simplest to acquire. This is due to the fact that fans can purchase them from Grocer in Seafront, and that is exactly what they should.

Originally, the game for most players focused on an older protagonist many fans affectionately refer to as Dad NieR attempting to protect and find a cure for a young girl named Yonah.

“I’m telling that to everybody,” the Denver Nuggets standout said. “But nobody believes in that except me.” It’s as good a description as any for the hard-to-label and even harder-to-stop play of the 7-footer nicknamed Joker. He doesn’t exactly have the most athletic look or leap out of the gym, but he’s elevated the Western Conference-leading Nuggets to new heights this season. Jokic is in line to become Denver’s first All-Star since Carmelo Anthony in 2010-11 and is being mentioned in the MVP conversation....
