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…
Xenoblade Chronicles developer and Nintendo subsidiary Monolith Soft has garnered quite the fanbase in recent years, with its intricate yet absorbing JRPGs winning many players over. The studio’s next game, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, is set to hit the Nintendo Switch later this year, but a new job listing suggests the…
Late yesterday we brought you news of a fresh Nendoroid announcement out of Wonder Festival 2017 – the Guardian from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s not the only video game merchandise to come out of the event, however, so we’ve looked through WHL4U.jp and picked out…

Lucky Nintendo Wire writer, Splatoon expert and Switch devotee Logan Plant got his hands on the gorgeous neon green and pink Joy-Cons, imported all the way from Japan. While we’re all still (understandably) bummed that these dazzling controllers never made the trek over to the states, we’re at least grateful…
Most of the titles on offer at the Nintendo Summer of Play were ones I had already managed to try before, but away from the massive lines for Splatoon 2 and ARMS was a humble little station holding Flip Wars for the Nintendo Switch. When I picked up the Joy-Con…
