After what felt like forever, a new wave of content for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has finally arrived with the 3.0 update. Possibly the most anticipated new addition to the game is the return of crossover content with other games, such as the wide array of decorations centered around the…
It’s a little hard to believe that the Dynasty Warriors series will be turning 26 this year. Released as a North American PlayStation 2 launch title all the way back in 2000, Dynasty Warriors 2 (which received its number due to a PS1 fighter called Dynasty Warriors in the US)…
Do you want drip? Ink drip? Then Nintendo Tokyo has the gear for you, as a new line of Splatoon 3 merch just dropped in the wake of yesterday’s reveal for the game’s Salmon Run mode. Titled “SQUID or OCTO,” the lineup is themed around the duality between Inklings and…
I’ve been in the amiibo game for some time now, and one of my go-to places on information about upcoming releases has always been the Nintendo CPSIA website.

Another Good Smile WonHobby deluge of merchandise news has dropped, and while the majority of the figures tackle anime and manga licenses, a few video games can be spotted, too. For starters, Metroid Dread’s version of Samus is getting her own Figma articulated figure. Her Other M, Zero Suit, and…

Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s Mouthful Mode has endeared itself to the masses in mere moments. From the moment Kirby swallowed that car, the possibilities were opened wider than his maw! In Hong Kong at least, Nintendo is leaning into the mechanic in a great way, introducing one of the…
Most games wouldn’t get a big red carpet for their release on Nintendo Switch Online. Most games aren’t EarthBound. The revolutionary 1994 JRPG and its legendary 1989 predecessor not only got a big advertisement spot in the Nintendo Direct, but a full-blown three and a half minute introduction trailer with…
