The Pokémon Trading Card Game is, once again, going through a bit of a collector’s boom at the moment. In the years since Pokémon card frenzy reached an all-time high in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, hype around new set releases had died down somewhat, meaning it wasn’t all…
In the long history of gaming, the exploration of different genres has been one of the key ways that franchises have evolved. One of the earliest genres to take hold was the beloved RPG format, with turn-based gameplay and a focus on story. With how long this formula has existed,…
Thanks to IGN we have a new video of Breath of the Wild’s opening, specifically to show the differences between the game’s Switch and Wii U versions. The differences are much more pronounced than I had expected and definitely show off what the Switch can do in comparison. In particular…
Day 2 of the Nintendo Switch Experience starts streaming live from Tokyo Japan now! You can check out the livestream below! Enjoy!
Earlier today Nintendo of Japan streamed out a solid 7 hours of Switch-related content.

Often the biggest AAA titles run past the 50GB mark now, and even some smaller games are…
We live in an era of hot takes and hasty judgment. In the age of social media, most things are prescribed with one of three labels – good, bad, or eh – before we quickly move on to the next piece of information. When confronted with a deluge of content,…
Laura Kate Dale (also known was LauraKBuzz) has released a great deal of footage of Switch gameplay – mostly Zelda, but also a bit of Splatoon 2; 1,2, Switch; and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Most interestingly, she claims that while the docked version of Zelda looks nicer, it has some…

Despite rumors indicating that Nintendo gamers would see the announcement of Mother 3 for the Switch during last night’s presentation, no such news came out of the event; however, Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé has acknowledged the game’s demand, as well as the demand for a new…
Sad news for fans and active users of Nintendo’s proprietary social networking platforms, as neither Miiverse nor the Nintendo 3DS’s StreetPass feature will be making the jump to Switch consoles. The news comes via David Young, Nintendo of America’s assistant manager of public relations, who broke the tidbit to Gamesbeat…
Game Boy Advance cartridges, Super Famicom peripherals and more join this week’s smattering of retro Nintendo classic consoles. My personal favorite addition goes to Mario Paint’s infamous mouse and mousepad combo. Don’t forget, the Badge Arcade is taking players on a nostalgic trip through history all this week with a…
The Nintendo Switch Presentation had a lot of huge announcements, but it was one of the smaller games that stood out to me most – Super Bomberman R. Not only is it the first console Bomberman game in years, it also shows Konami is willing to use the oft-forgotten former-Hudson…
