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…

Plenty of classic hardware manufacturers have been getting in on the mini console trend in the wake of the NES and SNES Classic successes, but few have went all-out like SNK. The company has released a multitude of mini arcade cabinets, and now it’s been confirmed that the upcoming Neo…
Plush workshop extraordinaire Build-A-Bear brought beloved Pokémon Snorlax to life just a week and a half ago, and the company was kind enough to send over the online exclusive bundle to Nintendo Wire Headquarters right after the big (gigantic) release. I’m no stranger to BAB’s Pokémon line — from Pikachu,…
School’s back in session and the weather’s slowly getting cooler (in some regions, at least), meaning the time of spookiness is upon us all. The North American Pokémon Center is in the process of playing catchup with its Japanese branch, as the Halloween Pumpkin Parade collection that was announced back…
Next year the third Mana game, finally given the English title Trials of Mana during E3 alongside a shadowdrop onto the Switch eShop, will be seeing a modern remake with full 3D graphics, voice acting, and more. A collector’s edition was recently announced for Japan, and among the contents is…
The meteoric drop of a Sans costume into Smash this week has reignited the amount of funny skeleton fan art on the internet this week, but everybody’s favorite pun-cracking bone man has even more content on the way — namely, a new dress-up doll courtesy of Dolk, a Japanese manufacturer…
Teasers are usually innocuous and easy to pull off. Just drop a cryptic name (maybe with a letter or two shaved off) that no other tech company or start-up has ever used (like “Linoleum” or “Rubbr”) — and presto. That said, going the opposite direction — showing the product without…
Capcom has been on a roll these past few years, reingorating franchises that had laid dormant with new entries, ports, and remakes. Mega Man is no exception, with a cavalcade of Legacy Collections and the all-new Mega Man 11, but this latest venture for the blue bomber is an unusual…
Just as expected, the trio of starters for Pokémon Sword & Shield are receiving the plush treatment officially through the Pokémon Center. Sure, we’ve already got a pretty close look at the huge cushions San-Ei will be releasing in the near future, but it’s about time we see something coming…
