I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
According to a report from Vooks, it appears as if physical versions of “Switch 2 Enhanced” games will contain the full game and its upgrades on the same cartridge. This follows after a Nintendo UK rep stated otherwise. It’s safe to say that Nintendo has mostly botched the messaging around…
Booting up my Nintendo Switch to play Croc for the first time since I was a kid playing it on my PlayStation yielded largely the same results as it did in the ’90s. By World 3’s desert, I was dying repeatedly to seemingly endless pits, cursing out the lantern level…
Spring is almost here — if you reside in the northern hemisphere that is. While autumn is also due for the southern hemisphere, this change of seasons is celebrated on the same day. Sounds like a perfect time to start a new Pokémon GO event, right? Beginning on March 19th…
It is often that we believe the voices — and memes — of the people fall upon the deaf ears of uncaring corporate suits, but it’s important to remember that those working on artistic projects are just as human as the rest of us. Such was the case with…
Editor’s Note: The following article was written to have a satirical and jealous sounding tone. As game collectors ourselves, the Nintendo Wire team has nothing but respect and admiration for Mr. Monteiro’s amazing achievement. This one’s sure to make collectors and completionists alike tenuous for completely different reasons — Antonio Romero…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of Wild’s style was a refreshing change to the series. Roaming around Hyrule in its painterly glory made exploring even more rewarding — and for some fans, they saw this as an opportunity to push the game’s visuals further. CEMU, a tool for emulating Wii…
If you own a Switch but haven’t picked up Splatoon 2 yet (you should!), then Nintendo’s got your back. From March 19th to March 25th, Nintendo Switch owners can download a free “Special Demo” that will let players try out the freshest shooter out there. Playing Splatoon 2 online requires…
Third verse, same as the second and first. Fire Emblem Heroes has started rolling out its third year’s worth of seasonal units, and true to the first two times Easter rolled around, another hutch of bunny-themed units has hopped onto the upcoming Regal Rabbits banner. The selection this time around…
If you’re looking for a fun, Pokémon-related weekend project, you might want to check out this video we found by Lego YouTuber hachiroku24. Not entirely unlike the Mega Construx figures you might see around GameStop and other retailers with Pokémon merchandise, this brilliant Lego creator has recently dove into creating…
This weekend’s Splatfest between Wizards and Knights has come to a close, and it looks like it takes more than chivalry and chainmail to win. Of course, against the mystic arts what hope was there? Hear ye hear ye! Ye olde #Splatoon2 #Splatfest results have arrived! With a 2-1…
It has been a standing accusation for almost three years that Yoshi — the once-beloved dino, steed, babysitter, and glutton — has committed tax fraud. While technically never tried in a court, whether in the US, the Mushroom Kingdom, or elsewhere, the allegations have nonetheless stuck, tarnishing his image in…
During today’s SXSW Sonic panel, plenty of focus was given to upcoming kart racer Team Sonic Racing. Those excited for the game itself, riding the wave of new music, or just wanting to see these characters again all have something to be excited for. First was the debut of TSR’s…
Today’s “Gotta Go Fast” panel at SXSW was mostly focused on Team Sonic Racing, but there were a few outliers, and oddly two of the most significant are based around the classic Sonic 3 & Knuckles. First up we have a brand new remix of Knuckles’ old theme from Tee…
It’s almost time to see what’s next for Sega’s blue blur, as the Sonic series is getting yet another dedicated SXSW very soon, starting at 1 p.m. CET! Last year’s panel included the announcement of Team Sonic Racing, Sonic Mania Plus, and the Sonic Mania Adventures shorts, so here’s hoping…
