Despite how Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser stated just last month that he believes developers are what makes…
Something all video game manufacturers need to be mindful of when creating and publishing their products is piracy. Nintendo themselves are no stranger to battling against the practice; just last year they successfully filed a lawsuit against the company behind the Switch emulator Yuzu. With the Switch 2 now on…
Pocketpair has shared a new blog post onto their website, detailing the ongoing lawsuit with Nintendo, changes made to Palworld, and what’s to come. If you recall, Nintendo filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair back in September of 2024, alleging that multiple patents were used in Palworld. It wasn’t…
My favorite time of year is not Christmas, nor E3, nor some third event that falls somewhere between “national holiday” and “gamer news con” — it’s PAX West, a time in which developers big and small descend upon Seattle to showcase their blood, sweat, and tears before the masses. I…
Some Alolan forms rose above the rest to supplant the original, Kanto versions of their Pokémon. For Exeggutor, that’s both figurative and literal as the sky high Grass/Dragon has grown into an iconic part of the seventh generation of games and is making its way to Smash via Poké Ball….
One of next year’s biggest releases is bound to be the upcoming Yoshi game from Good-Feel, following in the adorable footsteps of Yoshi’s Woolly World. Now, thanks to an accidental leak on Nintendo’s website, we may know its final title – Yoshi’s Crafted World. We can confirm it’s legitimate, all…

Nintendo Switch owners will be able to take a trip on the Hogwarts Express next month, as Warner Bros.

Today’s scheduled Nintendo Direct has been delayed to a further date due to an earthquake that struck the Japanese island of Hokkaido earlier today.

August was filled with Nintendo Directs about specific properties. First was the Smash Ultimate presentation after EVO, followed by the Nindie showcase later on and the Dragalia Lost reveal to end the month. Yet when it comes to more general Nintendo news… well, we haven’t seen much since E3….
The Kickstarted platforming duo from Playtonic Games can’t be stopped, and for fans with a Switch there’s something nice and shiny coming soon. Originally, the game wasn’t slated for Switch, meaning some Kickstarter reward tiers didn’t account for the eventual platform. Now, in partnership with Limited Run Games, Playtonic has…
If there’s a stage that’s defined Smash on any level, it’s Final Destination. This flat, no frills stage was seen as the purest proving ground for the longest time, and while that attitude’s faded somewhat, it still stands side by side with Battlefield as the Super Smash Bros. stages. Originally…
