Just a few days ago, a set of four Mother 3 plushies went up for sale and sold out in less than a day! To our surprise, only three days after placing our order, they arrived to us in Wisconsin all the way from Japan! While we could have taken…
The 16th Splatoon 3 Splatfest theme has been revealed and it’s surprisingly dystopian. The citizens of Splatsville, and by extension Nintendo, want to know “what would you do at the world’s end?” The options given are keeping on doing the same ol’ stuff, fulfilling the remaining items on your bucket…
As of right now Super Nintendo World is open at two locations – Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan. There’s good news for those on the east coast, however, with confirmation that the area will finally open in the unofficial capital of theme parks: Orlando, Florida. The park will…
We typically don’t cover too much Sony news here at Nintendo Wire, but the pure absurdity of this story has caused me to make an exception. So, sit, back, relax, and get ready to read a tale about a Big Mac-themed controller that was born to die. It all started…
I’ve said it before plenty, but the amount of Kirby merchandise in Japan is staggering. No Nintendo series can top Pokémon’s consumerist conquest, but for dedicated campaigns Kirby may rank right there with Animal Crossing and Mario. With that in mind, we’ve just been introduced to a brand new theme…
Worthy of its very own Splatfest, Nintendo Tokyo’s newest Splatoon merch collection is all about the series’ Squids and Octos. It’s also extremely fresh, eye-catching, “Woomy!”, and making the Splatoon fandom outside of Japan extremely jealous of this exclusive collection. Dubbed “SQUID or OCTO Splatoon”, the collection consists of gear…
There are very few items from Pokémon lore as memorable as the one million yen bike from Pokémon Red and Blue. It was iconic, it was fast, it was super expensive. Luckily for you (if you’re in Japan at least), The Pokémon Company has announced that it’s giving out ONE…
Few video game icons quite capture the essense of the 1990’s like Sonic the Hedgehog. The blue blur perfectly captured the era’s approach to ‘attitude’, while meshing it with cute Japanese sensibilities, resulting in a pretty iconic aesthetic that still holds up to this day. Fashion label Stray Rats is…
Monster Hunter Rise, as all games containing canines are now obligated to do, included the crucial gameplay mechanic that allowed players to pet the dog. Sometimes, though, virtual pet appreciation just isn’t enough, which is why I’m so tempted to splash out on Capcom’s latest Palamute figure and bring this…
If you’ve been looking to import some precious collectibles or lifestyle goods you’ve had your eye on for a while, now’s your chance to take that plunge! Play-Asia has been offering free international this entire month for its annual Summer Sale, which includes both in-stock products and those that are…
Kirby has worn many, many hats in his nearly 30 years of cosmic heroics. Even when most of them come from his enemies (or fellow Smash Bros. fighters), every now and then he takes inspiration from his friends. That’s what we’re getting as part of the next batch of Kirby…
A double dose of Capcom gems are about to get the vinyl soundtrack treatment courtesy of Ship to Shore PhonoCo. Most recently these purveyors of pressings brought Mega Man Legends’ music back, and while it’s hard to top that series in terms of a third full entry being long overdue,…
It’s typically fair to say that Japan usually hogs all of the best Nintendo merchandise, but at least this time, folks down under will also be able to share in the latest distribution of gaming goodies. Following last week’s reveal of a Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD drawstring bag…
The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games are officially underway, and while this year’s festivities are overshadowed by a very serious pandemic, the opening ceremony attempted to lighten the mood a bit by featuring music from loads of classic and modern video games as athletes filed into the stadium. Songs from Dragon…
Investigating a creepy mansion, fighting through a zombie-ridden city, and saving the president’s daughter from a parasitically controlled cult is great for a survival horror hero’s resume, but who wants to go on a traumatic adventure without smelling their best? Capcom has revealed the Biohazard 25th Anniversary Mini Perfume Collection,…
