As part of the typical Nintendo hype cycle, the company has uploaded a new trailer that gives fans an overview of what to expect with Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It’s kind of funny to start with the narrator being surprised Mario is made of paper considering we’ve had six…
Last week, First 4 Figures announced that Animal Crossing would be the next Nintendo franchise to receive the PVC Statue treatment. That’s right, an Isabelle statue is officially on the way, and thanks to an early morning post from First 4 Figures, we finally get our first good look at…
The Pokémon Company’s collab with Squishmallow will soon be continuing with not one but two fresh additions from Kanto and Johto. As revealed by a recent Pokémon Center newsletter, the OG Dragon-Type Dragonite is first up, featuring its cute nose, antenna, and some adorably tiny wings. Alongside that psuedo-legendary is…
In the wake of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ colossal worldwide success and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic making video game software and systems more in demand than ever, many have had a real tough time getting ahold of anything bearing the Animal Crossing brand.

For Pokémon GO Trainers in the US and New Zealand, the mobile game changed on Sunday, August 1st. It might not be as noticeable, at first, but for those who’ve been following the planned removal of certain features put into place due to COVID-19, it’s what we’ve been dreading. Here’s…

It looks like another classic Bandai Namco RPG is heading to Switch. Well, technically it’s a quadrilogy, as the ESRB has rated the HD remaster collection .hack//G.U.

Back when I was growing up, the Nintendo 64 and the PlayStation were at each other’s throats. In one corner, you had Super Mario 64, a first-of-its-kind 3D platformer that had to be seen to be believed; and in the other corner, Crash Bandicoot charmed players as a marsupial with…
Worthy of its very own Splatfest, Nintendo Tokyo’s newest Splatoon merch collection is all about the series’ Squids and Octos. It’s also extremely fresh, eye-catching, “Woomy!”, and making the Splatoon fandom outside of Japan extremely jealous of this exclusive collection. Dubbed “SQUID or OCTO Splatoon”, the collection consists of gear…
We’re getting close to the end of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town’s planned DLC.
