The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been unveiled. Nintendo confirmed it comes with 256GB of internal storage, which is eight times more than the original Switch. But here’s the thing: games have never been bigger. AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 clock in at a massive 64 gigs. If you’re anything…
No sooner did Nintendo confirm that the Switch 2 utilizies DLSS and will support ray-tracing that Nvidia has now given us a breakdown of the CPU and GPU the console will contain. While there aren’t raw numbers to compare against Nintendo’s rivals, we do know that not only are DLSS…
During yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo spent a surprisingly decent chunk of time describing GameChat, a new system feature that is basically like all of the social features Microsoft introduced to the Xbox 360 20 years ago. It’s charming how old-school Nintendo can be sometimes, but one thing that wasn’t…
Though there are definitely titles (and even a few amiibo!) to look forward to, the Switch is going to feel light on new games to sink our teeth into until a Nintendo Direct rolls around. Not just any games either — I’m talking those addictive, seemingly endless ones that handheld…
2023 was a year of massive highs and harrowing lows for video games. While you could say that the influx of high-profile and well-polished titles made 2023 the best year ever, the industry also suffered a tremendous blow thanks to numerous and wide-scale layoffs. There were many mixed emotions and…
2023 was a pretty decent year for amiibo all around, with a ten new figures arriving from Nintendo to grace our shelves. On the Smash Bros. side, Pyra & Mythra gave us some much needed Xenoblade Chronicles love, Sephiroth brought despair from Final Fantasy with his badass Masamune and giant…
After years of silence on the future of the series, Nintendo simultaneously announced and released F-Zero 99 on the September 14, 2023, Nintendo Direct presentation. The first game in the series after almost 20 years, this free Switch Online game became a moderate hit in the following months due to…
As 2023 comes to a close, it’s nice to wind down the year by playing a cozy or two (or more as my Nintendo Switch playtime stats love to remind me). Yet, for that lull of waiting for the new year to begin, you might have some vacation time on…
For better or worse, the video game industry is one that thrives on nostalgia and reverence for what came before. Nintendo fans need only look at Super Smash Bros., a series that’s become a living curation of all things games as much as it has the definitive platform fighter. For…
As a publisher and developer, Kemco has been around forever. Depending on who you’re talking to, the name may evoke memories of classic, licensed retro series like Crazy Castle, licensed oddities like Mickey Mouse: Magic Wands, or licensed tragedies like Batman: Dark Tomorrow. Or, you might think of a deluge…
As a kid, I subscribed to the official, now-defunct, Nintendo magazine, Nintendo Power. Reading all the latest and greatest news straight out of Nintendo was something I reveled in each month, but nothing was quite as exciting as the issues that covered the news coming out of E3. I have…
2023 has been a smorgasbord of cozy games. Whether you’re a fan of the genre or not, you have to admit its rising popularity is impressive. What was once considered an extremely niche sim category has been steadily growing into a massive community within the last two decades. Now, as…
In a tale of rise and fall paralleling the Roman Empire, E3 is now officially dead. Once a vital industry show that grew into a cultural juggernaut for video gaming before declining into irrelevance and failed attempts at revival, the ESA’s gaming Mecca went through almost three decades before fading…
I’ve been a part of the Nintendo community for quite some time now, but I can’t recall a single event that united Nintendo fans more effectively than a good, old-fashioned Super Smash Bros. character reveal. The anticipation, the speculation, and, of course, the moment of the reveal – watching these…
We’re no stranger to the beauty of PowerA accessories for Nintendo Switch, that’s for sure. From their wide variety of controllers to cases and Joy-Con grips, their attention to detail for players’ love of characters from beloved series knows no end. That surely applies to this product we recently got…
