As part of the typical Nintendo hype cycle, the company has uploaded a new trailer that gives fans an overview of what to expect with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It’s kind of funny to start with the narrator being surprised Mario is made of paper considering we’ve had six…
Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
It’s the 28th anniversary of the release of Pokémon Red & Green in Japan, and that means it’s Pokémon Day! The tradition of fans across the world waking up bright and early (or not early at all, depending on the timezone) to watch a new presentation has lived on for…

Everyone is eagerly awaiting news about Nintendo’s follow-up to the Switch hybrid console. The expectation was that Nintendo would be releasing a potential Switch 2 by the end of 2024, but now it seems likely that we won’t have our hands on the new console until March 2025 at the…

Last year’s Nitro Deck from CRKD is probably one of my favorite Nintendo Switch accessories. It comes in several breathtaking colors and special editions, feels premium in your hands, and works with the original Switch models or the OLED Switch, taking the place of the Joy-Con attached to the sides…
In light of the recent announcement that the cult classic Mother 3 will yet again see a Japan only release, the outcry for action has reached new heights. The fanbase has been pleading for a localized version ever since the game’s release all the way back in 2006; despite this,…

Folks, it’s Nintendo Direct week! After another couple of weeks (which felt like years) of speculation, the latest Partner Showcase aired on February 21, 2024. As one of the newer additions to the Nintendo Wire crew and definitely the resident sicko of the group, I found myself hyped up over…
With the final Super Smash Bros. series amiibo finally released as well as the amiibo Tag Team Tournament returning soon, many people may be wanting to do some amiibo training. While it is a fairly straightforward procedure on the surface, there’s a lot that goes into it and a lot…
It finally happened. During yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase they finally acknowledged Mother 3 and added it to the Nintendo Switch Online library. Of course, they only actually did so in Japan; the overseas versions of the Direct completely omitted mention of it. On the bright side at least, in…
With very little fanfare, Nintendo has released Splatoon 3’s “Side Order” DLC on the Nintendo eShop.
