In a recent discussion with VGC, Nightdive Studios bosses Stephen Kick and Larry Kuperman have stated that they feel the company is ready to start tackling Xbox 360 and PS3 remasters. While the company has made a name for itself remastering games from the sixth console generation and earlier, including…
I can’t believe we’re this eager to get Switch 2 news out, but Nintendo has shared a brief look at the Switch 2’s brand-new “C” button ahead of tomorrow’s Direct. On the Nintendo Today app, the latest hype video for the Switch 2 gave us a seven-second look at the…
In an astonishing turn of events, the ROM for BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 Week 1 has finally been discovered and dumped for preservation. Over the weekend, LuigiBlood (famous for their preservation efforts and Nintendo Direct leaks) announced that they were finally able to secure a copy of the previously…
Initially announced at last year’s The Game Awards, Road 96 opened today’s Indie World Showcase. The procedural narrative hitchhiking game, which has 148,268 route combinations, gave us a glimpse of these different narratives in its first-ever gameplay trailer. The country of Petria has gone to hell. The regime…
The last time we heard news of 3DClouds’ nautical action-RPG King of Seas, it was the bittersweet report that the game was delayed into May for further polish and a broader localization. Thanks to 3DClouds’ new publishing partnership with Team17, their promise has been fulfilled, and the pirate sim will…
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…
