It’s hard to believe Final Fantasy IX is turning 25 on July 7th. I still remember playing it on my beat-up PlayStation 1, with a disk tray so finicky I had to weigh it down just to get the game to load. But I played it anyway—and I’m so glad…
Not even a day has passed since we learned when the upcoming Legend of Zelda film would be hitting theaters, and we now have a ton of new details about the project. Surprisingly, these didn’t come from the Nintendo Today app, but from Production List, a tracking service run by…
While it was stated yesterday that Nintendo would be opening Switch 2 pre-orders on April 2, 2025, that might not actually be the case. Despite Best Buy Canada claiming so (and then retracting it hours later), it appears as if pre-orders for Nintendo’s next console will be happening one week…
Nintendo has announced that the upcoming live-action Legend of Zelda movie will be hitting theaters in just a few years. On March 26th, 2027, fans and youngsters alike will be able to experience a new take on Hyrule as Link, Zelda, and probably Ganondorf take to the silver screen for…

Rejoice, physical game collectors! We now have one less thing to laud over our virtual-collector counterparts, as Nintendo has announced its plans to introduce a system that allows virtual games to be shared between Switches. I can already hear you. “What? Is that possible? How can that be?” It’s true….
Today’s Nintendo Direct may have only had a few triple-A games, but it was packed to the brim with exciting indie announcements. One of the overlooked ones was the reveal that the Monument Valley Trilogy would be coming to consoles this year. Developer UsTwo games announced that Monument Valley 1+2…
In what has to be my favorite surprise from today’s Nintendo Direct, developer Tribute Games announced a brand-new Marvel beat-em-up that not only looks like TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, but features designs seemingly cribbed from Marvel Vs.
