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.

Nintendo Switch 2 has been criticized for a fair amount of things since its full reveal in early April, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming the fastest-selling Nintendo console in the United Kingdom.

Nintendo has confirmed that over its debut weekend, the Switch 2 moved 3.5 million units globally.

A press release from the company doesn’t really detail much of anything, but this achievement…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
On this random Tuesday morning, Nintendo has announced a brand-new Splatoon 3 spinoff titled “Splatoon Raiders” for the Switch 2. Many believed that the DJ trio “Deep Cut” would originally be the focus of a DLC campaign for Splatoon 3, but instead, it seems Nintendo felt Big Man was too…
As many players will have likely figured out by now, Mario Kart World does not feature a 200cc mode for its races. Although Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, not even at launch but through an update to the Wii U version, its absence in a new Mario Kart is peculiar….
With the massive jump in power the Nintendo Switch 2 brings compared to the original Switch, the possibilities for third-party games on the console feel broader than ever. Back in April when we got our first good look at the system and what it could run, there were a myriad…

Last November, we ran an op/ed speculating about the performance improvements the Nintendo Switch 2 could bring to the vast library of Switch 1 games.

As people discovered yesterday, the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with a variety of generic USB webcams for use with GameChat. That’s great for people who already have a webcam in their possession and don’t want to shell out for Nintendo’s official camera. What if you wanted to…
