Lego has updated its official website with a slew of new Super Mario sets, and they include a number of cool references. While the majority of them are based around Mario Kart (which makes sense considering Mario Kart World is about to release), I never thought we’d see a Lego…
In the most recent “Creator’s Voice” video posted to Nintendo’s YouTube channel, the company put a spotlight on the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment from Koei Tecmo and Omega Force.

Pokémon developer Game Freak may be best known for its long-running monster catching franchise but the studio has had plenty of experimental projects over the years. One of the best regarded was Pocket Card Jockey, released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan in 2013 and worldwide three years later. The…
Today on Masahiro Sakurai’s Youtube channel where he discusses game creation, the man brought out one of his more recent titles (and his most recent non-Smash Bros. work) – Kid Icarus Uprising, specifically to discuss the game’s difficulty system known as the Fiend Cauldron.

Want to play Fire Emblem Fates? I mean, do you really wanna play Fire Emblem Fates? Awakening is right there, just saying. But maybe you already have it. Or you just wanna see what Fates is like. I get it, I once lived in blissful ignorance too (and it is…
Earlier this year Nintendo delivered the unfortunate but sadly expected news that it would be discontinuing the eShop on Wii U and 3DS in March 2023. Now the company has shared more specific dates. First up is a reminder that it’ll no longer be possible to add funds via eShop…

It’s time for everybody’s favorite hot-button topic — sales reports! Specifically in Japan, where the sales chart was topped by Nintendo Switch Sports, selling over 190,000 copies on its debut.

You may or may not be familiar with Golden Week, the string of Japanese holidays from April 29th to May 5th that many families take off to vacation or companies use to promote their goods. We have a strong example of the latter, as Capcom is hosting a big sale…
