Another Dynamax Pokémon debuts in Pokemon GO! This time Drilbur, a Ground-type Pokémon, will be entering the Dynamax pool (and is a good Dynamax Pokémon for battles against Dynamax Charmander, Gigantamax Charizard, Dynamax Beldum, and Dynamax Falinks). (For more details about the Season of Max Out, you can check out…
Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet). While similar, the big difference this time around is the Terastal phenomenon, where Pokémon’s type can change to one of the 18 different types available in-game. Not to mention, Pokémon will receive…
Splatoon has come a long since its initial release in May. The game that came out nearly a year ago was fun, but it doesn’t have the amount of content and replay ability that it does now. Thanks to Nintendo’s steady flow of free weapons, maps, apparel, game modes, and…
It’s become something of a holiday tradition for me to place an order with the fine folks at Fangamer every holiday season. While there’s never a wrong time to treat yourself to products designed for and by fans, it just feels right during this time of year. I’ve been shopping…
In a surprisingly low-key tweet, Nintendo of America just took the lid off two new, upcoming maps for Splatoon.

Pokkén Tournament, the new fighting Pokémon game, will be getting a new and dedicated “Pop Fist” controller for the game in Japan. The new wired and analog stickless controller might look familiar to some. That’s because it was designed to mimic the controller that was used on the arcade cabinet…
Capcom and Nintendo aren’t strangers to collaborating, especially with the Monster Hunter franchise. Just a few weeks ago we saw a Felyne pop up as a client in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and that’s nothing on the many Nintendo-themed costumes and gear that have appeared in the Monster Hunter…
The highly requested Final Fantasy VII character, Cloud, is now available to download in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS! He comes complete with all the moves and sound effects that fans know and love from the original PlayStation title. One feature that distinguishes Cloud from the other…

Aside from a wealth of character announcements, the final Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS presentation also made time for a few amiibo announcements.
