Drip, drip, drip. For a company with a freaking plumber as its mascot, there sure has been a lot of leaks about the Nintendo Switch 2 lately. So far, we’ve allegedly seen the dock, the Joy-Con, the Joy-Con magnetic rail system, the motherboard, the kickstand, and even a supposed replica…
BoxBoy! secured My Nintendo Rewards’ May calendar, and now there are a few other goodies added to the site as well. Discounts, 3DS themes, and a Splatoon 2 character chart download have joined the lineup! With more tentacles than an Inkopolis soap opera (ink opera?), the Squid Research Lab did…
After the stunned, silent weeping in response to yesterday’s Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer, Detective Pikachu is here to remind us that it’s possible to make beloved characters realistic and cute at the same time.

Smash Ultimate has hosted plenty of Spirit Board events, and I’m sure you know the drill. Hop in, grab some Spirits based on a theme or game series, and rake in bonus rewards for your trouble. Nothing’s been problematic with these in the past and it’s even helped me nab…
Labo VR has only been out for a few short weeks, but we’ve already seen some incredible games made with its creative mode.

Pokémon freebies have always appeared in many different forms — trading cards, special Pokémon that you can train and battle with, figurines, toys, activity books, etc. Smart devices and digital-only goodies can also be thrown into the mix. What if the Pokémon Company mashes these two forms together though? Chris…
Since its initial reveal in a Direct, we haven’t gotten a ton of details on Oninaki, the next game due out from Tokyo RPG Factory. Earlier last week, however, Square Enix posted a new trailer that showcases the core cast members of the upcoming Action RPG, along with some out…
We’re on the cusp of May now, just days away from the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu’s premiere in Japan. We probably won’t receive many new trailers, posters, or clips at this point — but that doesn’t mean we’re not getting some sort of new promos to enjoy! The official Detective…
