Y’know, if you’re okay breaking the game. If you’re familiar with some of the glitches possible in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, then you’re probably already aware of ‘MsgNotFound’. It’s essentially the Master Sword from the prologue section of the game, and it’s quite possibly the best unbreakable weapon you can get….
How about a map marker? Mario Kart World has been on the circuit for over a month now, and after a decade of its predecessor, it’s great to be playing something that feels fresh.

Health bars aren’t as commonplace as they used to be in…
