Yesterday’s reveal of the Nintendo Switch 2 told us that Nintendo has a new console on the horizon. That’s not meant to be a punchline, either: the reveal only told us that a new console is happening. There was a glimpse of a new Mario Kart and astute viewers can…
For the last few years, when rumors of a Switch successor would pop up, it was always labelled as the Switch 2. Nobody knew what it was actually going to be called, but Switch 2 was a quick shorthand for saying “Nintendo’s next console” or “the successor to the Nintendo…
After the surprise drop of a Switch 2 reveal teaser, the internet was set ablaze with the information that the Switch successor is actually real and is coming sometime this year. Since it would be incredibly silly to unveil the new console and not give any information, the teaser ended…
Nintendo’s cardboard Toy-Cons have been inspiring fans and artists alike since hitting the market last month. Throw in the Toy-Con Garage feature and contests challenging you to come up with creative cardboard creations, it was only so much time until a company would step in and bring something new to…
There seems to be an endless stream of Kirby merchandise lately. After the huge, year-long 25th anniversary celebration ended, we immediately moved on to honor the pink puffball’s 26th year, both of which brought us a multitude of new products and imagery. Moving forward, the merch numbers continue to grow,…
In anticipation for Hallmark’s Keepsake ornaments for 2018, individual pages for some of the products have been added to the company’s site. Sure, Christmas may be seven months away, but it’s important to keep in mind that Hallmark splits its collection between two dates. The first one — its Christmas…
2018 has been a great year for Mega Man fans so far, with the announcement that both the Classic and X series are heading to Switch and the brand-new Mega Man 11 set to release by the end of the year. There’s also quite a lot of merch on the…
The Legend of Zelda Encyclopedia, the final volume in The Goddess Collection trilogy, is almost here. Dark Horse has given IGN the honor of showing off the book (previously Kotaku announced its existence in October) — we haven’t seen its interior up to this point, which makes this the book’s…
Lillie’s new look and attitude was a fantastic element added to Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. Of course, with this new attitude, new merchandise was in order. Earlier this year at Wonder Festival Winter we were treated to quite a few new figures of Lillie: Figma, Nendoroid, and a…
Next year will see the release of the Sonic the Hedgehog movie, a live-action animation hybrid co-produced by Paramount and Sega America, which entered production earlier this year. We’ve yet to see anything significant from the project, but the first major sign has come out of this week’s Cinema Con…
It’s easy to imagine that magic is happening behind closed doors of Nintendo’s offices pretty much all the time. With the Nintendo Switch thriving during its second year and people becoming better acquainted with Labo now that it’s officially on store shelves, it’s safe to say that Nintendo seems to…
Giant. Buzz. Bomber. Look at this thing, it’s ridiculous. That’s on the first panel of this week’s final Sonic the Hedgehog comic for IDW’s April launch extravaganza, and it’s a fitting metaphor for the scale of this issue. The mysterious threat that’s been built up for weeks is finally going…
No doubt some people have already opened up their Labo kits and began putting together robots, pianos, and everything in between. If you’re curious about what’ll be in the box, the Japanese Labo site has you covered. You can access PDFs of what appear to be all the cardboard sheets…
The Octo Expansion isn’t even here yet, but all you squid kids and Octolings-to-be can’t seem to get enough of your favorite game. That’s the case in Japan at least, with an all new Splatoon 2 soundtrack coming out this July to accompany the release of the new content. Titled…
Spring may be here, but some minds are already occupied with next winter. When it comes to Nintendo ornaments, Hallmark doesn’t play around, as it looks like a trio of classics are getting the tree-trimming treatment in part of the company’s Keepsake collection. Thanks to a tip from @M_Hrycyk, we’ve…
