After years of speculation we finally have word from Nintendo’s President Furukawa that the company is working on a successor to the Nintendo Switch. The news comes in the form of a very simple tweet that confirms the new hardware will be announced within the fiscal year ending March, 2025….
When comparing to the past few years, it’s fair to say that 2024 has been quite slow in terms of Nintendo content. Most of the year’s lineup has been ports and remakes, so needless to say, when rumors start to circle about new games on the horizon, it’s exciting. Notably,…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
For years now, gamers have known that the smartest, deepest, and most refined plots don’t come from the likes of Bioware or Obsidian — they come from the Kirby developers, who over the past decade or so have begun packing each of their games with a rich lore that would…
IGN, once again muscling their power as the gigante games media company that they are, has gotten their hands on footage from a new stage of Yoshi’s Crafted World titled “Weighing Acorns.” The video showcases both the normal stage and the “flipside” reverse, both of which revolve largely around manipulating…
I don’t think Kirby really registers the concept of time in any way. He eats when he’s hungry, sleeps when he’s tired, and saves Dream Land when it needs saving. He’s had to deal with some wayward celestial bodies, sure, but this is a character whose idea of copying a…
Not many video game characters can say they’ve got their own day, but if anyone deserves it it’s Mario. The key to this is one of two things: that Nintendo’s plumbing powerhouse has been at it for decades and deserves that recognition, respect, and admiration; or he has a name…
Leave it to Pokémon to drop the most casual of nomenclature changes that would set our collective minds ablaze. Nintendo of America tweeted a fairly innocuous post about Gyms in Pokémon Sword & Shield, stating that Gyms in Galar be “bigger than ever” and casually let slip that the head…
It’s almost here… MAR10 Day! Celebrating Mushroom Kingdom’s finest plumber clad in red and blue, this Sunday will be chock-full of Mario news and goodies. My Nintendo has added some new digital downloads centered around this year’s celebration. March’s calendar is all about Mario — and if you like the…
When limited edition pressings of games are announced, chances are that there may be differences between regions, in terms of price and the contents of each bundle. During last month’s Nintendo Direct, we were treated to a segment detailing Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Fans got a preview of the special…
Media is filled with knights and wizards, video games especially, with more than a few games having you create characters that could fall into one of those categories. That said, you probably wouldn’t have expected Splatoon 2 to give you the choice, but this latest Splatfest is breaking genre and…
Just a few days ago, it was announced via Famitsu that the 3DS JRPG The Alliance Alive would be getting a HD port to the Nintendo Switch. Now, the game has an official website in Japan, which has given us our first look at the game running on the system….
There’s no denying that last year’s Octopath Traveler was a success for Square Enix, and the promise of more JRPG goodness came from the dev team. Yet nobody expected we’d see the follow-up so soon – though there’s good reason why, as the newly announced Octopath Traveler: Tairiku no Hasha…
The latest Japanese trailer for Yoshi’s Crafted World has just landed, and alongside new gameplay footage we also get a look at the amiibo functionality within the game! Like we reported earlier, tapping a supported amiibo in Yoshi’s Crafted World unlocks a crafted, cardboard costume for Yoshi to…
Pokémon games are pretty popular, in the grand scheme of things. I mean, you know, not to like, religious levels, but hey, they seem to do well. So it’s not a huge shock to discover that the total revenue from mobile games in the franchise tops $2.5 billion — which…
