Pokémon TCG Pocket is jam-packed with so many events and promotions, it can make your head spin. Each week, Nintendo Wire will be covering the details of each event, what goodies they have to offer, and the best way to tackle each task. Today, we are taking a look at…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
Initially announced on January 31st, 2020, Niantic announced it would begin testing new types of events during February 2020 – Pokémon Spotlight Hour and Mystery Bonus Hour. After testing and user feedback, Niantic combined both events into one and announced what Pokémon and bonuses would be featured in advance. Now,…
Welcome back to Sonic Sunday! It was an eventful week for our favorite hedgehog, as plenty of announcements were made regarding his two upcoming titles down in Texas. Project Sonic 2017 was dubbed Sonic Forces, and Sonic Mania was hit with an unfortunate delay. To make up for this delay,…
We’re only a few days away from the big reveal of Project Sonic 2017 at SXSW! What better time is there to bring back Sonic Sunday here at Nintendo Wire? Sonic games have gone up and down in quality over the years, but one element that has never wavered is…
There’s probably no better way to prepare for Mario Day tomorrow than by celebrating an anniversary of a very special, very beloved, Mario game. Today marks the 21st anniversary of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars’ release on the Super Famicom in Japan. So what makes this particular…
Welcome to the final chapter of the Zelda look-back series! We’ve taken a trip down memory lane and revisited some great games over the weeks, but now we are approaching the final stop with The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The 3DS title was released back in November…
Plenty of games in the Legend of Zelda series are divisive, but none seem more-so than 2011’s Skyward Sword. It brought motion controls to the forefront, focused on narrative more than ever, and detailed the beginnings of the Zelda timeline as we know it. Now, despite five years having passed,…
For today’s addition to our Zelda recap series we’re tackling things a little bit differently – by combining both DS Zelda games together. Built on the same engine and having many of the same mechanics, they definitely come from the same mould, but there are a few unique aspects that…
The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess is a game that holds a very special place in my heart, as it was my first adventure through the land of Hyrule. The game was released in November of 2006, which means it’s been a little over 10 years since most made the…
Zelda games have always been about large scale, fantasy-tinged adventures. From directionless dungeon explorations to sky-faring sagas, there’s always been a sense of large and open spaces, which the upcoming Breath of the Wild is wholly embracing. Hyrule’s a big place, after all, so why not go big as can…
When Wind Waker hit store shelves back in 2003, I was six years old and barely knew how to hold a game controller properly, let alone play a fully fleshed out RPG. I had only received my first video game the year prior in the form of a Game Boy…
When one thinks of the best 2D Zelda game, the competition is generally considered to be quite limited. A Link to the Past reigns supreme as the favorite of the franchise for many, and while there are significant factions that dig the poignant surreal nature of Link’s Awakening or the…
With the year still being so fresh there’s something on many people’s minds: Time. Is there enough to stand by our New Year resolutions? Will the unknown future be better than the present? Could things have been done differently in the past? Questions that no one really has an answer…
I was very, very young when I first laid eyes upon The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I had gone over to my neighbor’s house for reasons I can’t remember, and watched as he pulled out a N64 with the cartridge already inside. He casually tossed me the strategy…
