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…
While Pokémon GO’s last Limited Field Research event didn’t go quite as swimmingly (pun fully intended), as some may have hoped, it looks like Niantic is making an effort to learn from their past mistakes and deliver an even better Limited Research this month. That’s right, the event is making…
New York Toy Fair has come and gone. The convention that turns the Javits Convention Center into playground for all ages had us scouring through social media to see what video game franchises would be getting merch makeovers. We also saw products that were already announced, like Funko’s rendition of…
Puzzles are hot right now thanks to Tetris 99, but I’ve got my sights set on something that takes blocky in a different direction. When I first saw Treasure Stack during last year’s Nindie Summer Showcase I knew I had to try it, and it looks like it won’t be…
While usually making content for weekly Famitsu, there’s no monopoly on the words, thoughts, and overall remarks of Masahiro Sakurai, resident Smash auteur. Nintendo Dream conducted a dream with Sakurai last month, which they’ve only recently posted online. @PushDustIn of Source Gaming has provided a valuable translation as always —…
These days, I very rarely play games in handheld mode. I hold nothing against the idea of it, but if I can play a game on the big screen, I will, and the Nintendo Switch is brilliant for allowing the option with practically every game on the platform. There’s one…
Welcome to the Nintendo Wiretap! Each day the team here at Nintendo Wire works tirelessly to bring you the best, most relevant late-breaking Nintendo news this side of the Mushroom Kingdom. To help make ingesting all these meaty stories easier than Kirby hopped up on Miracle Fruit, we’ve compiled a…
Company San-ei Boeki has revealed via their Twitter account (and a hearty signal boost from Japanese Nintendo) that new Pearl and Marina plushies will be super-jumping to store shelves soon. Tentacles／Off the Hook plushies releasing in Japan in late June https://t.co/bmgKzP0RQz pic.twitter.com/0f6hHFKe07 — Brian Cooper (@toadforsmash) February 19, 2019 …
One of the stories I have been most involved with is the shockingly secretive development of Super Nintendo World at the various Universal Studios parks. And while rumors about what may or may not be included in the parks have been flying around for months, the construction at Universal Studios…
Blade Strangers is one of the oddest fighting games on Switch, being a cross-over brawler with an eclectic selection of franchises, where Curly from Cave Story can fight Shovel Knight. Now another indie character is seemingly set to join the fray, at least going by a mysterious screenshot tweeted out…
Say it ain’t so! Sorry, Shovel Knight fans, you’ll have to wait a tad longer before the Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove, Shovel Knight: King of Cards, Shovel Knight Showdown, and/or the Treasure Trove amiibo 3-pack can be added to your gaming collection. Shared in a blog post over the…
Daemon X Machina didn’t exactly leave a lasting impression on me when it was first announced at E3 last year. The combat involving mechas (called Arsenals) and other giant machines definitely piqued my interest for a short time, the music was right up my alley, and the gameplay looked exciting…
Note: The rumor’s original source page is having some difficulties at this time. A partial, verified transcript of the information can be found in this Resetera thread. It’s always unfortunate when a game dies out, especially when it’s one from a proven developer. Such was the case for Scalebound, announced exclusively…
