Luigi’s Mansion 3 releases on Nintendo Switch this Thursday, and for those looking to get their hands on Nintendo’s latest game, the best deal may be at Walmart. As with other recent releases, Luigi’s Mansion 3 will be on sale for $49.94 at Walmart stores right at launch, according to deals site Cheap Ass Gamer. Unfortunately, these discounts don’t usually extend to Walmart.com, so to save $10 on Luigi’s Mansion 3 this Halloween, you’ll need to drive to your local Walmart store.

This is the latest in a continuing pattern of release-day deals at Walmart, with major games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, The Outer Worlds, Borderlands 3, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses getting the same in-store treatment. While other stores like Amazon or Best Buy will frequently price match any discounts posted online, the in-store release-day deals remain a Walmart-specific tactic that’s shown no sign of stopping.

Nintendo’s spooky adventure earned an 8/10 in GameSpot’s Luigi’s Mansion 3 review. Critic Kevin Knezevic took issue with some aiming issues and cumbersome puzzles, but he praised Luigi’s satisfying new abilities and the collectible-filled hotel you never want to stop exploring.

“The strength of the Luigi’s Mansion series has always stemmed from the satisfaction of exploring its carefully constructed settings, and in that regard Luigi’s Mansion 3 certainly succeeds,” he wrote. “The game may not radically diverge from the series’ formula, but it offers up another meticulously crafted set of challenges to overcome while smoothing out some of the issues that held Dark Moon back, and the sense of accomplishment you feel when you clear a particularly head-scratching obstacle is just as potent now as the first time Luigi unwillingly strapped a vacuum to his back and stepped into a haunted mansion.”

And for those of us without a Walmart store nearby, never fear–you can still take advantage of this free, printable, and absolutely terrifying Gooigi mask from Nintendo.

The Fortnitemares 2019 event is now live in Fortnite: Battle Royale, bringing a new Storm King limited-time mode to the game, along with a related set of challenges. Many of these missions are tied to the aforementioned LTM, while a handful are more obviously Halloween-inspired, like destroying haunted household furniture and leaping out of hideouts when unsuspecting players are nearby.

One of the trickier Storm King challenges asks you to search chests at a haunted forest, a ghost town, and a spooky farm. The challenge itself is easy enough to complete, but the hard part is knowing where to go, especially if you’re not very familiar with Fortnite’s new map yet. If you fall in that camp, don’t worry; we show you what to do below.

Where Are The Haunted Forest, Ghost Town, And Spooky Farm Locations?

As the challenge states, you need to search chests at three specific areas. The haunted forest and spooky farm are simple enough to find; the former is Weeping Woods, while the later is Frenzy Farm–both named locations that you can easily spot on the game’s map.

The ghost town, however, is a bit harder to track down. Unlike the other two areas, it isn’t a named location, so you can’t obviously see it just by looking at a map of the island. For this one, you’ll need to go to quadrant G1, in the top portion of the island. The town is northwest of Steamy Stacks, and it’s received a ghostly makeover for this event.

How To Complete The Challenge

Once you know where the locations are, all you need to do is head to all three areas and search one chest in each. Do that and you’ll complete the challenge, netting you 30,000 XP for your troubles. If you need help completing any other challenges from this season, be sure to check out our ongoing Fortnite Chapter 2 challenges roundup for our other maps and guides.

Bandai Namco’s Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot will allow you to swap between a plethora of Z-Fighters, including Goku, Kid Gohan, Vegeta, and many more. Another playable character has been announced for the upcoming action-RPG–and this time, it’s the Potara fusion Vegito.

A recent issue of Weekly Jump confirmed that Vegito will be playable when DBZ: Kakarot arrives on January 17, 2020 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The reveal didn’t specify how involved Vegito’s role is, but the magazine clarified that Kid Buu will be a boss later in the game’s story.

Unlike Gogeta, who appears after Goku and Vegeta perform the fusion dance, Vegito emerges when both characters wear a single Potara earring on opposite ears. Vegito returns in Dragon Ball Super’s “Future” Trunks Saga and is playable in Arc System Works’ Dragon Ball FighterZ.

DBZ: Kakarot was revealed during Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, where Bandai Namco and Xbox unveiled a gameplay trailer showing off familiar faces and huge boss battles. A separate issue of Jump magazine announced that the action-RPG will stretch into the Cell Saga, as well as cover filler material and introduce new characters.

Pre-ordering DBZ: Kakarot nets you a few bonuses, like an additional side quest and early access to Bonyu’s training. There are also plenty of editions available to purchase, including Standard, Deluxe, Ultimate, and Collector’s. The Ultimate edition features the season pass while the Collector’s edition comes with an 8x8x8 diorama figure.

Stardew Valley stole the hearts of aspiring farmers everywhere when it first launched in 2016, and since then, the game has garnered a massive loyal fanbase across multiple platforms including Steam, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. The game has also found a huge audience on mobile following its release on iOS in October 2018 and later on Android in March 2019. Since launching on mobile, Stardew Valley has rarely been discounted–but right now, you can buy Stardew Valley on your phone for $5 instead of the usual $8. There’s no telling how long this deal will be available, so if you’re interested in playing Stardew Valley on the go, now’s the time to grab it.

See at Apple App Store

See at Google Play

Please note that Stardew Valley is also included free with Google Play Pass, Google’s monthly subscription service that grants access to 350 games and apps, without apps or in-app purchases, for $5 a month. A 10-day free trial is also available.

While GameSpot hasn’t reviewed Stardew Valley’s mobile port, the user reviews on both iOS and Android speak for themselves, with an average 4.8/5 rating and 15,000 reviews on the Apple App Store and an average 4.6/5 and 25,000 reviews on Google Play. In GameSpot’s Stardew Valley review, the game earned a 9/10.

“On the surface, Stardew Valley is a game about farming, but there are more adventures awaiting curious players beyond cultivating a rich and bountiful garden,” wrote Mary Kish in her review. “From mining and fishing to making friends and falling in love, Stardew Valley’s Pelican Town is stuffed with rewarding opportunities. As modern-day woes give way to pressing matters on the farm and within your newfound community, Stardew Valley’s meditative activities often lead to personal reflection in the real world. It’s a game that tugs at your curiousity as often as it does your heart.”

Like Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki and “founding mother” of shojo manga Moto Hagio before him, legendary video game producer Shigeru Miyamoto has received one of Japan’s highest honors for a creator.

The “Person of Cultural Merit” award is given to those who have made great cultural contributions to the country and is officially handed out by the Japanese government. A total of 54 people, including Miyamoto, have been handed the award. A ceremony recognizing Miyamoto’s achievements will be held on November 5 in a Tokyo hotel.

Miyamoto said at an announcement that he wants to continue to bring smiles to people’s faces around the world and has no plans to retire from Nintendo and/or video games anytime soon, according to Crunchyroll.

Miyamoto is widely recognized as the creative force behind the Mario and Legend of Zelda franchises, serving as designer, director, and producer on a handful of titles in both buckets. He is also the creator of many other acclaimed Nintendo properties, including Donkey Kong, F-Zero, and Star Fox.

Miyamoto’s last production credit was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which has seen widespread critical and commercial praise since its 2017 launch on Nintendo Switch and Wii U. In our review, we awarded it a 10/10, saying, “Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created.”

During E3 2019, Nintendo confirmed that Breath of the Wild will get a sequel. Not long after, it was reported that game producer Eiji Aonuma will return for the sequel, while Miyamoto’s involvement remains unclear. Still, Nintendo has a lot of ideas for Link and Zelda’s next adventure in Hyrule.
