    Luigi’s Mansion 3 is one of Nintendo’s best Switch games this year, even earning my vote and ultimately winning the award for Best Family Game during the Game Awards 2019. Nintendo has just announced today, December 18th, 2019, that Luigi’s Mansion 3 DLC is available for pre-order now and releasing in 2020! The Multiplayer Pack will be releasing in 2 separate parts; Part 1 on April 30th, 2020, Part 2 on July 31st, 2020.

    Luigi’s Mansion 3 has local co-op with the main story where the second player can take control of Gooigi. There’s also a local or online multiplayer mode with up to 8 players called the ScareScraper where you work together to clear floors of ghosts. Since then, there’s been an additional multiplayer versus mode called ScreamPark which allows up to 8 local players to play various mini-games against each other.

    What’s in it and is it Worth the Price?

    For the price of $9.99, Part 1 of the DLC will include the following: 3 new mini-games for ScreamPark mode, 6 new Themed Ghosts, 3 new outfits for Luigi to wear, and 3 new floor themes in co-op ScareScraper mode. Part 2 will come with additional new features and content for both ScareScraper and ScreamPark modes but has yet to reveal exactly what those are. Nintendo has showed off Luigi’s Mansion 3 Luigi outfits and one of them has him dressing up as Elvis! The other two is a suit of armor and mummy wraps.

    If you want to pre-purchase Luigi’s Mansion 3 Multiplayer Pack, you can go to the official website here. As a special bonus for purchasing this DLC, you’ll immediately get the new in-game Flashlight Type-P that shows Polterpup’s adorable face on on the walls when illuminated! New players of Luigi’s Mansion 3 can access this item only after meeting Professor E. Gadd and when he establishes his lab (Gallery). I love Polterpup so much so it’s worth the price just for that flashlight!

    With the new DLC for Two Point Hospital, Close Encounters, now available on Steam here (followed by console releases soon), we thought it was a great opportunity to dive back into the game! If you haven’t yet heard of this tycoon management game, you can check out the details with our review here.

    Don’t be alarmed by the hospital setting; the illnesses you’ll encounter are all but ordinary and come with ‘punny’ alternatives. For example: Enjoy the visual details of someone walking into your hospital with a pan on their head and direct them to a treatment room where you remove it with a giant magnet! Since we wanted to get the most out of this game and feel compelled to achieve excellence, we went after the 3-star goals in every level. Below are some tips and tricks to help you avoid the same mistakes we made that resulted in figurative and literal dumpster fires.

    Tips and Tricks for Two Point Hospital

    You’ll notice that getting that first star is always quite easy but if you want to attempt the third, you’ll need to buy more plots and expand your hospital. This will obviously give you a lot more to manage. You might be making millions but when your expenses kick in, you can lose it all and maybe even go bankrupt if you’re not careful.

    Creating Rooms and Hospital Layout

    • You’ll want to start every level paused to save time and money by building the basics; Reception, GP Office, General Diagnostics, Toilets, Staff Room. Then hire the employees necessary to fill these rooms.
    • Only build the minimum required size for all rooms in your hospital because the level prestige can be raised by spamming Gold Awards for your walls that you’ll want to unlock with your Kudosh ASAP. Even rugs are handy because you don’t really have to worry about them getting in the way of anything else.
    • When planning out the layout of your hospital, be aware of your patients that need further diagnosis as they go to the GP Office to General Diagnostics and then back to GP. This means you’ll want to have them next to each other to shorten their walking distance.
    • Placing rooms that help diagnose patients can lead to a higher probability of a cure. These rooms are: General Diagnostics, Fluid Analysis, X-Ray, and MEGA Scanner.
    • You can greatly increase the overall health of the hospital by placing Hand Sanitizers in every room and in the hallways were there are drinking fountains. Also, don’t go placing too many garbage cans as this will just cause more work for your janitors and decrease your attractiveness when they fill up. You only need them near your vending machines and near treatment rooms for the pukers.
    • Make sure to place Fire Extinguishers in every treatment room that has machinery you need to repair. Furthermore, place more than one as they are single-use only! You don’t want to worry about this after a fire breaks out.
    • Placing Coffee Makers and Medicine Cabinets in every office (especially the GPs) will give your doctors a boost of much needed energy and diagnosis/treatment.

    Essential Needs of Staff and Patients

    • You’ll need to place a large amount of GP Offices at a certain point so make sure to reduce the queue lines by placing drink and snack machines, toilets, and news racks nearby. Your patients will sometimes take their time or leave the lines to do these things.
    • Forget building cafeterias when you unlock them, they’re a huge waste of space, tie up your Assistants that are better used toward Reception, cause line-ups, and even seem to spread more germs. Don’t waste your Assistants’ time with Newstands either.
    • Toilets can be placed in 3×2 areas so they’re great to fill in those awkward spaces you might have. Just make sure to have one or two of those in every major section as patients can and will relieve themselves on your floors.
    • To keep everyone happy and improve your hospital’s reputation, do the objectives that pop-up and place a lot of decorations. Plants (mainly sunflowers) do the largest amount for a cheaper price and fountains are useful to put near your empty spaces by Reception.

    Training, Marketing, and Research

    • Do not hire staff that have the following traits: Cheese for Brains, Dirty Habits, Grumpy, Has a Dark Side, Litterer, Nasty, Nausea Inducing, Suffers from spontaneous bouts of snoozing, Tires Easily, Unhygienic, Unmotivated, Wants More Money, Weak Bladder, and Vengeful. These will have negative affects to happiness, efficiency, cleanliness, and more! These employees will ruin your entire hospital.
    • Some staff traits don’t do anything but others will have useful qualities such as Motivated and Positive. As long as you hire based on these traits, you don’t need to worry about higher tier levels as much.
    • You’ll want to train your employees often as this raises their happiness/morale with promotions and their patient treatments are more effective. Specialize your employees in specific areas such as Psychiatry. You can go up to level V in certain jobs.
    • Make sure you know the difference between which rooms are for Diagnostics and Treatment so you can train accordingly. For example, GPs should be trained in GP higher tier levels as wells as Diagnostic boosts, and Nurses in Pharmacy can be trained in Treatment for a better curing rate.
    • If you have a target to reach in a certain illness or you need to raise your reputation, create a marketing campaign specifically for it.
    • Research everything and anything to upgrade your machinery and to unlock different rooms. Everything you research will carry over to your other levels so you only have to do them once.
    • All three of those rooms can receive bonuses with certain objects. Place tons of encyclopedias in the Training Rooms, Servers (and ACs) in the Research labs, and more desks and Assistants in the Marketing rooms.

    Other things you can do to help keep your hospital afloat are:

    When you edit rooms, it kicks everyone out of them but don’t be afraid to rearrange or delete unused rooms as it will make things easier in the long run! You should also check up on your employees and fire staff that are under-performing. Then, keep checking your patients’ health and bump the ones that are near death up the queue line before they keel over! Finally, take your time and have fun!

    Banjo-Kazooie first released in 1998 for the Nintendo 64 and then Microsoft bought the IP and brought it to the Xbox 360/Xbox One. We talked about the announcement that the bird and bear duo were joining Smash Bros. Ultimate during E3 2019 but we didn’t have a confirmed date. During Nintendo’s Direct on September 4th, 2019, we were surprised that they announced that Banjo & Kazooie are available right now, along with a new update! After the Direct we were treated to more gameplay footage (see below) by director Mr. Sakurai showing off Banjo & Kazooie’s moves, the stage, and the music that comes with this Challenger Pack (3).

    Banjo & Kazooie Moves

    Banjo & Kazooie’s moves that we were shown are pretty familiar and stayed true to the original game. The list is as follows:

    • Dash is Talon Trot
    • Jumps are Flap Flip and Feathery Flap
    • Neutral Attack is Banjo’s Claw Swipe
    • Flurry Attack is Rat-a-tat-Rap
    • Dash attack is Forward Roll (also used by Donkey Kong)
    • Down Tilt is Beak Barge
    • Up Smash is Bill Drill (which shows a slightly different way of using Kazooie)
    • Side Smash is Breegull Bash (or Bird Bash)
    • Natural Air is Wing Whack
    • Back Air is Air Rat-a-tat-Rap (3 hits)
    • Down Air is Beak Buster

    The Special Moves include: Egg Firing (can be used with the following move), Breegull Blaster (in style of the FPS mini-games but can only be used 5 times), Wonderwing (invincible charge), Shock Spring Jump (using spring pad), Rear Egg (the butt grenade), and finally their Final Smash: The Mighty Jinjonator! This was used as the final blow to Gruntilda, the final boss.

    Stage and Music

    For the Banjo & Kazooie stage, we’re getting Spiral Mountain, the starting hub of the game. When a rotation icon appears in the stage, everything will begin spinning items and all. Meaning, recovery points will be changing around, and platforms and a bridge will occasionally appear. As for the music, we’re hearing the Main Theme of Banjo-Kazooie, Mumbo’s Mountain, and Vs Klungo, by original composer Grant Kirkhope which is the absolute best.

    Trailer and More Information

    If you’re interested in the Banjo & Kazooie Challenger Pack, it’s available for $5.99 US. You can also purchase the Fighters Pass to receive all 5 Challenger Packs as each one releases which so far also includes Joker (Persona 5) and Hero (Dragon Quest XI). All characters will be revealed by February 2020.

    One of the greatest multiplayer cooking simulation games, Overcooked 2, probably needs no introduction. The developers Ghost Town Games and the publishers at Team17 have revealed the 3rd and final DLC of their Season Pass. Each DLC can be purchased separately but the DLC so far included in The Season Pass are priced at £14.99/€16.99/$19.99 and include Night of the Hangry Horde and Campfire Cook Off. Now that pack also includes Carnival of Chaos which will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and Xbox One on September 12th, 2019!

    As per usual, this DLC will include new chefs, new kitchens, and new recipes! This time the theme is that of a literal and figurative circus which includes carnival foods such as hot-dogs, doughnuts, and maybe popcorn. In the reveal trailer we see a strong-man and jugglers, as well as one of the players blasting out of a cannon! This game will probably have us all breathing fire! Get it, fire-eaters? We here at myPotatoGames are also loving the adorable pupper Kevin in the corner hanging out with a balloon animal.

    During Gamescom 2019, publisher SEGA just announced their latest DLC “Close Encounters” for Two Point Hospital and it has aliens! Two Point Hospital is a tongue-in-cheek hospital sim builder developed by Two Point Studios. It’s still coming to all major consoles later this year but for now let’s look into this new Steam DLC which you can pre-purchase for August 29th, 2019! Moreover, you can even get it 10% off now until September 5th, 2019 right here. You won’t want to miss out on this DLC as it includes three new unusual hospitals set in different locations, 34 new illnesses (i.e. Lack of Humanity, Science Friction), three new cure rooms, as well as new challenges, and more!

    About Close Encounters

    Down in the town of Goldpan, rumours persist of an out of this world encounter. A fireball, witnessed streaking above the sandy climes of Two Point County’s Eastern reaches, is chief suspect after a range of unusual illnesses have caused strife, commotion and general unrest amongst the inhabitants of this oft-forgotten town. As an all-round medical supremo with a knack for tackling the unreal, your administration has operational access to some key locations in the area… including some areas the public really don’t need to know about. The Two Point Squabbler, the County’s finest journalistic institution, wants to know what’s going on… and you’re their ticket in. 

    What’s included? 

    • 3 mysterious new locations
    • 3 new, fully animated cure machines
    • 11 new visual illnesses
    • 34 new illnesses in total
    • New gameplay
    • New music, DJ and tannoy lines

    SEGA went live at Gamescom 2019 today at 2PM CEST so you can catch up with their stream below which includes more details and gameplay footage of the Close Encounters DLC. Furthermore, for other gameplay footage from Gamescom this week, check out our articles here: Luigi’s Mansion 3 Gameplay Footage And More and Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated Gameplay Footage.
