<p>Developer Bynine Studio on <strong>Feb. 29</strong> has  released <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/cavern-of-dreams/">Cavern of Dreams</a> on the Nintendo console. This comes four months after its successful debut on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/cavern-of-dreams/">PC</a> on Oct 19 last year where it received a playscore of 8.7.</p>

<p>In celebration of the recent Switch launch, indie publisher Super Rare Games have posted a few previews of Cavern of Dreams. The most recent trailer showcased the game’s unique visuals, gameplay, and a few of its various lands.</p>

<iframe width="1622" height="921" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kQ6h9E9ox2k" title="Cavern of Dreams - Switch Launch Trailer" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<p>Cavern of Dreams is a loveletter to beloved N64 platformers like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/banjo-kazooie-nuts-and-bolts/">Banjo-Kazooie </a>and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/spyro-reignited-trilogy/">Spyro</a>. To complete the N64 atmosphere, the game also has a nostalgic sound track to help players immerse in the world.</p>

<p>It follows a young dragon called Fynn who is on a mission to rescue his kidnapped siblings. As Fynn, players will have to navigate four different lands, each one a different theme and offering new sets of challenges.</p>

<p>The different worlds will also offer new items to collect. Among them, 40 eggs that grant players new abilities.</p>

Cavern of Dreams: N64-style Platformer Out Now On Switch

<p>Stately Snail, together with Ratalaika Games, is releasing the second chapter of their first-person <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/roguelike/">roguelike</a> game on consoles.</p>

<p><a href=:https://whatoplay.com/pc/one-more-dungeon-2/>One More Dungeon 2</a> is hitting the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/one-more-dungeon-2/">PS5</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/one-more-dungeon-2/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/one-more-dungeon-2/">Xbox Series X</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/one-more-dungeon-2/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/one-more-dungeon-2/">Switch</a> with a new set of dungeon adventures on <strong>March 1</strong>.</p> 

<p>Stately Snail describes <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/one-more-dungeon-2/">One More Dungeon 2 </a>as a vastly improved version of their 2015 game.</p>

<p>“This sequel is a completely modern action game with a first-person view and a compelling story, a hub location to explore, boss battles, meta-progression and many new game mechanics and interactive objects.”</p>

<p>One More Dungeon 2 takes players into a new hub world: a fortress filled with puzzles to solves and intelligent snails that push players forward into the dungeons. New challenges await players in every new zone.</p> 

<p>The journey starts in prison cell. The aforementioned intelligent snail leads players to the king who orders you to kill a creature in the depths of the dungeon in exchange for their freedom.</p> 

<p>As a roguelike game, each death brings players back to the hub world, albeit with their levels intact. Each new journey will unlock new portions of the map, and perhaps some shortcuts along the way.</p>

<p>Offering 9 different levels, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/one-more-dungeon-2/">One More Dungeon 2</a> is a short experience with an estimated 5-10 hours of playtime.</p>

<p>Slow download speeds on your Xbox Series X or S can be frustrating. Unfortunately, it’s a more common problem than you’d think. Here are a few solutions to the problem.</p>

<div class="Step 1" id="step1">
<h2>1. Check the download speed of your network</h2>
</div>

<p>The first thing you need to do is check the state of your whole network. Internet downtimes are unpredictable. On a device connected to the same network, a phone or PC, go to speedtest.net  to check your download speeds. This should give you a general indication of how fast the download and upload speed of your network is.</p>

<p>On your Xbox, go to <strong>Settings > Network Settings</strong>. From there, select <strong>Test network speed & statistics</strong>. This will display your current Download and Upload speeds.</p>

<p>Do you see a significant difference between the speeds on your Xbox and on the test device? If there is, proceed to <a href="#step2" class="link">Step 2</a>. If not, continue to <a href="#step3" class="link">Step 3</a>.</p>

<div class="Step 2" id="step2">
<h2>2. Restart your console</h2>
</div>

<p>Simply hold the Xbox icon on your controller and select Restart console.</p>

<p><em>If your console is connected wirelessly, be sure that it’s not blocked by something that could potentially decrease wireless signal strength such as an aquarium, another device, books, etc.</em></p>

<div class="Step 3" id="step3">
<h2>3. Restart your modem and router</h2>
</div>

<p>When your connection is slow on your whole network, restarting your modem and router can help refresh your internet speed. I usually restart my network with the following steps:</p>
<ol type="1">
   <li>Turn off both modem and router.</li>
   <li>Wait for 1 minute and turn on your modem.</li>
   <li>Wait for 1 minute and turn on your router.</li>
</ol>

<p><em>Note: Some modem and routers don’t have an ON-OFF button. In such cases, unplug and plug them back in to restart. Otherwise, check the device's manual for better guidance.</em></p>

<div class="Step 4" id="step4">
<h2>4. Use an ethernet cable</h2>
</div>

<p>Wired connections are generally faster and more stable than wireless ones. Connect your Xbox using an ethernet cable. The ethernet port is located at the back of your console.</p>

<div class="Step 5" id="step5">
<h2>5. Disconnect other devices from your network</h2>
</div>

<p>A congested network will cause slower download speeds. A few of the devices connected to your network may be hogging most of the bandwidth. This leaves your Xbox with little allocation leading to slower downloads.</p>

<p>The fastest way to test this is to disconnect the other devices while you’re downloading a game.</p> 

<p>For more advanced users, you might want to consider tinkering with the QoS (Quality of Service) settings on your router. This allows you to prioritize which device or traffic your network should prioritize. Just a warning, not all routers support QoS.</p>

<div class="Step 6" id="step6">
<h2>6. Close any running games</h2>
</div>

<p>Running other games on your console may take up some bandwidth. Press the Xbox Icon on your controller. Underneath <strong>Home</strong> and <strong>My games & apps</strong>, there is a list of games and apps.  Navigate to the other games on your console, and select Quit.</p>

<div class="Step 7" id="step7">
<h2>7. Change DNS Server</h2>
</div>

<p>There are cases where the issue is with your internet provider. DNS server values are automatically assigned to you by your provider. However, some DNS servers can be slow or unresponsive. Changing your console's DNS settings might help.</p> 

<p>To change the values on your console, you need to set your DNS settings to manual. You can do this by going to <strong>Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > DNS Settings.</strong> Then, set it to <strong>“Manual”</strong>.</p>

<p>These are our recommended DNS servers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cloudflare</strong>
<p>Primary DNS server: 1.1.1.1</p>
<p>Secondary DNS server: 1.0.0.1</p></li>

<li><strong>Google Public DNS</strong>
<p>Primary DNS server: 8.8.8.8</p>
<p>Secondary DNS server: 8.8.4.4</p></li>

<li><strong>OpenDNS</strong>
<p>Primary DNS server: 208.67.222.222</p>
<p>Secondary DNS server: 208.67.220.220</p></li>
</ul>

<h2>Other steps you can take to fix slow download speeds on your Xbox</h2>

<ul
>
<li><p><strong>Make sure that your console is up-to-date.</strong></p>
<p>There may be important network-related fixes and optimizations in the latest updates. To check, Go to <strong>Settings > System > Updates</strong>. If one is available, It’s best to download and install it first before downloading a game.</p>
</li>

<li>
<p><strong>Reset your Series X|S to factory default</strong></p>

<p>If your console’s download speed has not improved and all other devices in that
same network downloads just fine, this means that there’s a problem with your
console.</p>

<p>Resetting it back to factory default might help. To do this, go to <strong>Settings > System >
Console info > Reset Console.</strong></p>
   
To keep all your games and apps, make sure to select <strong>“Reset and Keep My Games & Apps”</strong> option.
</li>

<p style="color:tomato"><strong>WARNING:</strong> The option <strong>“Reset and Remove Everything”</strong> will delete everything on your console. It will remove all your config, games, and apps.</p>

</ul>

<p>When there are hundreds of games to choose from, it can be challenging to find the right one. But, don’t worry!</p>

<p>The Switch has never had a shortage of cute and wholesome experiences for you and your kids--and we’ve ranked them all. Here are the Top 15 Kid-Friendly Switch Games:</p>

<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/new-pokemon-snap/">New Pokemon Snap</a></h2>

<p>Kids and Pokemon are a match made in heaven.</p> 

<p>New Pokemon Snap takes out the complexity of Pokemon games, creating a cozy and relaxing space for little Pokemon lovers. Instead of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/turn-based-rpg/">turn-based battles,</a> you can watch your beloved Pocket Monsters in their natural habitats.</p> 

<p>New Pokemon Snap is all about capturing their most unique behaviors. That might take patience and a few little treats, but that’s hardly a downside when hanging out with your favorite pals. You can even edit and share your pictures too!</p> 

<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/mario-partytm-superstars/">Mario Party Superstars</a></h2>

<p>Who needs Monopoly when you can have a fun board game experience with Mario and the gang? Mario Superstars is a party game where you can take turns moving around the board to get the most Stars and coins.</p> 

<p>Unlike most <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/board/">board</a> games, you won’t have to worry about the lulls between turns. Superstars takes all that away. Not only are there different traps and bounties on the board, there are also fun minigames that can turn the tide at any point in the game.</p> 

<p>You might see some cartoon violence here and there. But, really, that's nothing compared to what you might get from playing Monopoly.</p>

<h2>13. <a href=""><a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokemon-sword/">Pokemon Sword</a> & <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokemon-shield/">Shield</a></a></h2>

<p>If you feel like your kids are ready for the classic Pokemon experience, then they’ll probably love Sword & Shield.</p> 

<p>While these aren’t the latest games in the series, Sword and Shield sticks to the series’ traditional formula. It’s not <p>open-world</p>. But you do get to battle, collect, and breed Pokemon, with loads of exciting new features. The Wild Area even offers a taste of open-world, letting you roam freely around an ever-changing landscape in search of wild Pokemon.</p>

<p>Watching Pokemon go through their Dynamax and Gigantamax transformations could either be overwhelming for your kids OR the highlight of the whole game. PEGI recommends this game for ages 7 and up.</p>

<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokemon-legends-arceus/">Pokemon Legends: Arceus</a></h2>

<p>For kids with a love for open exploration, Pokemon Legends is a great choice.</p> 

<p>Arceus is Pokemon’s first truly <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/open-world/">open-world</a> title. Sent back in time to the Hisui region, the Pokemon in Arceus run wild. You can observe them from afar, battle them, or they can attack you.</p> 

<p>With all this happening in real-time, it’s more immersive and interactive compared to other Pokemon titles. If your kids love Pokemon, this just might be the experience they’ve dreamed of.</p> 


<h2>11.  <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-3d-all-stars/">Super Mario 3D All-Stars</a></h2>

<p>3 of Nintendo’s classic Mario titles rolled into one. It includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Sunshine. For those who grew up on these games, this is the perfect package. It’s three times the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/platformer/">platforming</a> fun as you guide Mario through castle after castle to save Princess Peach.</p>

<p>None of the games have been remade. They’re still practically the same games you used to play, with slightly upscaled graphics and adjusted controls to fit the modern Switch configurations. That said, it might be an imperfect experience. Then again, if you loved them as a kid, you or your kids will probably love it all the same.</p> 

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/donkey-kong-country-tropical-freeze/">Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze</a></h2>

<p>Donkey Kong got a whole lot easier with its debut on the Switch. Just like the Kong family’s favorite snack, the platforming used to be bananas. Thankfully, the new character, Funky Kong, and his special game mode make almost everything a piece of cake. He can double jump, hover, surf on spikes, and roll through enemies with ease.  This makes the 2-player <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/coop/">co-op</a> experience so much more smooth when playing with kids, or adults with underdeveloped reflexes.</p> 

<p>Of course, Tropical Freeze still comes with the harder classic modes. So if you ever feel like leveling up the challenge, you won’t be missing out.</p>  

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-rpg/">Super Mario RPG</a></h2>

<p>Mario has saved Princess Peach from harm in a lot of forms. This <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/turn-based-rpg/">turn-based RPG</a> is one of his most memorable.</p> 

<p>A revival of the SNES game from 1996, Super Mario RPG might’ve gotten a whole new coat of paint, it still has the same hilarious moments and exciting action.</p> 

<p>It has a diverse set of weapons, cool timing-based actions, and an amazing set of bosses, each with their own cute little gimmicks. The unique animations and cutscenes are just the cherry on top.</p> 

<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/kirby-and-the-forgotten-land/">Kirby and the Forgotten Land</a></h2>

<p>Kirby’s friends have been kidnapped and it's up to rescue them. Thankfully, he’s got a bag of new tricks.</p>

<p>As he jumps into the urban landscapes of Forgotten Land, his powerful mouth gets even stronger. Aside from spitting, inhaling, and copying moves, he can also transform entirely. With mouthful mode, Kirby can turn into a car…a ring…a water balloon…and so much more.</p> 

<p>With its frenetic boss battles, the ESRB recommends this game for ages 10 and up. Guide your kids through Kirby’s Rolodex of powers and turn every new challenge into a bonding experience.</p>  

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/luigis-mansion-3/">Luigi’s Mansion 3</a></h2>

<p>Every kid thinks they’re strong enough for a Haunted House…until they’re not. Test out their mettle in the latest Luigi’s Mansion, where they have to explore a hotel invaded by pesky ghosts. The ghosts are a little more naughty than scary, and  Luigi’s new Poltergust can take care of most of them. For the rest, there’s Gooigi who can help you out through puzzles and makes for a great co-op partner.</p>

<p>The ghost-busting can also be a party activity with the ScareScraper mode. Work together to clear out ghosts and save the missing toads.</p>

<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/overcooked-all-you-can-eat/">Overcooked! All You Can Eat</a></h2>

<p>No party is complete without the restaurant frenzy of Overcooked. All You Can Eat is the complete multicourse meal, with Overcooked 1 and 2 plus all the DLCs between them. In Overcooked, you play a group of chefs going through all sorts of kitchen hell to bring out orders in time. As a co-op game, teamwork is essential. You’re going to need a lot of it to get through all the tricky levels.</p> 

<p>Thanks to the DLCs, there are a lot more quirky chef costumes to choose from. All You Can Eat also has online multiplayer that only allows preset interactions. So you don’t have to worry about foul language.</p> 

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-maker-2/">Super Mario Maker 2</a></h2>

<p>For a creative child, sometimes playing through levels isn’t enough; they have to build it themselves. Super Mario Maker makes that possible. The choices for building are almost endless, with enemies and blocks spanning from Mario’s 8-bit days to his present 3D form.</p> 

<p>The Story mode already has over 100 courses built-in. So even when you’re not building, there’s always something to do. Add Switch Online to the equation and you get a whole lot more. Not only can you share your courses, you can also run through and compete with friends in thousands of user-generated courses. </p>

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-smash-bros/">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a></h2>

<p>The ultimate crossover of Nintendo’s superstars.</p>

<p>Super Smash Bros have been the staple brawler on Nintendo’s console for years and it's not changing soon. Super Smash Bros’s controls feel endearingly simple. You don’t need complex combos to pull off special attacks. You just need to race to the Smash ball to unleash your ultimate powers. And even when you’re losing, the gorgeous maps and cool animations make every match worth it.</p>

<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/mario-kart-8-deluxe/">Mario Kart 8 Deluxe</a></h2>

<p>Brawlers are great, but nothing teaches the spirit of competition like a good old Kart Race. This deluxe Mario Kart edition comes with all of the DLCs from the Wii U release. That means a whole collection of colorful tracks and loads of new characters to play with. With two times the ammo for powerups, chaos is guaranteed in every race. If your kids need a little boost, there’s an optional steering assist that can help them keep up. </p>

<p>Mario Kart is no ordinary racing game and you can choose however you want to play. From the many different game modes to the multiplayer options, either local or online.</p>

<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-bros-wonder/">Super Mario Bros. Wonder</a></h2>

<p>Decades of Mario games have culminated in this wonderful title. Bringing old friends into the new Flower Kingdom, Wonder gives Mario and his friends a whole new set of challenges and powers. Turn into an elephant, get a drill hat, or blow bubbles. Each one opens new doors and opportunities throughout. The Wonder Flower can turn everything into a whole new experience, transforming you or the world completely.</p>

<p>Supporting up to four players, the whole family can take part. Yoshi and Nabbit are practically invincible, so you can hand them over to kids so they can join the fray without falling behind.</p>

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/animal-crossing-new-horizons/">Animal Crossing: New Horizons</a></h2>

<p>There’s a reason why Animal Crossing: New Horizons has captured the hearts of kids and adults alike. This life <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/best/simulation/">simulator</a> whisks you into a unique island getaway, where you can manage the island and its inhabitants. Around the island, there’s so much to do. From fishing and farming to catching up with friendly neighbors.</p>

<p>Arguably the best part of Animal Crossing is collecting: bugs, fossils, and even paintings. The museum--and its nocturnal curator, Blathers--is such a wealth of wonder.</p> 

<p>The game’s use of real-time hours for building, farming, and collecting can teach kids a lot about moderation and patience. The great thing is, whatever they choose to do on the island, there’s always a lesson to pick up.</p>

Slime Rancher 2: Unleash your creativity with 'Gadgets My Way' Update

<p>After the success of games like <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/immortality/">Immportality</a>, more full-motion video (FMV) games are being released. And this latest one lets players dive into the inner workings of a group of troubled New Yorkers in the late 1980s.</p>

<p>Developers from Burgeon and Flourish will roll out its newest project, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ios/of-two-minds/">Of Two Minds</a>. The free association game will land on iOS devices this <strong>February 5</strong>. It will carry a price tag of <strong>US$2.99</strong>.</p> 

<p>The FMV game features footage shot in 1989 by award-winning film director Michael Bergmann.</p>

<p>Set in 1980s New York, it puts players in the shoes of a psychoanalyst who will get to listen and analyze the thoughts and memories of various characters. From a couple having an affair to spouses and their own analysts.</p>

<p><strong>Of Two Minds</strong>’ gameplay also follows a non-linear narrative. This means players can unlock new content and storylines by connecting themes and ideas that emerge in each video. In addition, they can discover more secrets, obsessions, histories of each character, and their psychological motivations.</p>

<p>The game is the result of a 35-year-long project, Burgeon and Flourish wrote in a statement. It began when Bergmann filmed more than three hours of a fictional story about the intense relationship between two psychoanalysts. He later teamed up with game designer and composer Lucas Tahiruzzaman Syed to develop it into a nonlinear narrative game.</p>

<p>Bergmann’s goal was to preserve and popularize some of the most exciting ideas of psychoanalysis, according to developers. The director believed he could transform a human life but is in danger of being forgotten, they added.
 Burgeon and Flourish first unveiled Of Two Minds in 2023.</p> 

<p>Meanwhile, the publishers have also released a trailer of the game on YouTube, which interested players can check out below.</p>
