Over the past few weeks, it feels like we’ve been reporting on leaks more than official announcements. A few months ago, the Pokémon Company suffered a massive leak due to an external hack. However, today’s leaked Pokémon news comes directly from Pokémon GO developer Niantic. According to the leak, a…
Welcome to 2025, everyone! While we eagerly await Nintendo to announce anything about the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, it seems vendors at CES in Las Vegas didn’t get the memo that the console hasn’t officially been unveiled yet. Now, before we dive into the details, remember that the images and…
The start of 2025 has seen more Switch 2 leaks than the last couple of months combined. After a new patent mentioned upscaling technology for Nintendo’s upcoming device and a leak of the Switch 2 Joy-Con showed an optical sensor on the controller, this latest photo dump shows us a…
Few games have tapped into the potential of a Mesoamerican setting, meaning whenever one does, it stands out. Aztech Forgotten Gods certainly does, and then some. The game is set in an alternate universe Mesoamerica that never saw contact with European powers from across the Atlantic, meaning the capital Tenochtitlan…
While character and series mashups are always attention-grabbing, there’s no denying the power of a great genre combination. For Archvale, that mix is between RPGs and bullet hells, and that’s exactly how you get my attention. Of course “bullet” might not be the best word there, so I’m going to…
It feels like it’s been awhile since we had a good “One more thing…” announcement from a Nintendo presentation, which made the end of today’s Indie World Showcase all the more special. As the hosts were wrapping up, it seems their signal was interrupted, and viewers were presented…
While Konami isn’t quite the video game juggernaut it used to be, it still finds time to bring out games from time to time, and they’re usually on the smaller scale. Case in point, today’s Indie World presentation featured a look at an all new game from the studio, developed…
Usually here on Nintendo Wire we report on new game announcements, but there’s nothing to report on this time around. A quirky meta game definitely didn’t release in 2015 as part of a game jam and see an expansion years later with the subtitle “Wrong Dimension.” Not at all. A…
The latest Indie World Showcase is here, promising 20 minutes of fresh indie game updates for the Nintendo Switch! Tune in below starting at 9 a.m. PT!
There are some things you can count on when it comes to the eShop, and among them is nonograms. Specifically the Picross S series from Jupiter, which has continuously delivered handheld number-puzzle fun for decades now. Believe it or not the Switch is home to five Picross S titles already,…
Few figures in Nintendo’s history, or even gaming as a whole, are as fondly remembered as Satoru Iwata. Not just for the moments he created or the products he launched, Iwata had a sense of humility that isn’t often seen from people in his position. In the preface of Ask…
Fresh off their foray into Fortnite, perhaps the two most recognizable Street Fighter characters are setting their sights on a new crossover. Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid already spans many corners of Saban’s super sentai series, but now these world warriors are adding its farthest reach yet. Best of…
While people have been bemoaning the amount of swords in the game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had a much more combustible agenda brewing. The irony of explosives sneaking by isn’t lost on me, nor is it when you consider one of the most heavily armed fighters is also their…
On April 14th, 2001, Animal Forest hit the Nintendo 64 in Japan. As a very late release for the system, the franchise wouldn’t make its North American debut until the GameCube port, localized as Animal Crossing, released in September 2002. Europe got it even later in September 2004! Now, twenty…
The Blizzard Arcade Collection is growing! Blizzard Entertainment announced today on its blog that the arcade collection was getting more than some quality-of-life updates. Growing from three to five, Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing are now available to play. From the blog post: The sequel to The Lost Vikings®, Lost…
