First 4 Figures, the premiere video game statue manufacturer, has announced a brand new “We <3 Kirby” statue for pre-order on its website. Featuring the pink puffball standing on a pedestal and holding a heart with the words We <3 Kirby, it’s a nice little figurine that would look great…
When looking at the Super Mario franchise from a modern lens, one of the most distinct aspects is the parallel existence of both traditional 2D entries alongside the more open 3D iterations. This side-by-side formula didn’t always exist, though; the jump to 3D would need a bit over a decade…
Tomorrow, New Pokémon Snap will be receiving a big update featuring a tiny perspective. The free content has no less than three new areas to explore with new Pokémon to photograph, with the most interesting one shrinking you down for a tour of Florio Nature Park. Check out this “little”…
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. The consumer struggle has certainly peaked in…
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…
Among the many great things I have to say about The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is that I believe it’s the greatest-looking game of all-time — a bold claim, but one I firmly stand by nonetheless. I thought I’d never want to change that gorgeous, cel-shaded art style…

We typically don’t cover too much Sony news here at Nintendo Wire, but the pure absurdity of this story has caused me to make an exception. So, sit, back, relax, and get ready to read a tale about a Big Mac-themed controller that was born to die. It all started…
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. Last Recode for the Nintendo Switch. Previously released for PS4 and PC in 2017, Last Recode bundles together HD versions of the PlayStation…
I’ve said it before plenty, but the amount of Kirby merchandise in Japan is staggering. No Nintendo series can top Pokémon’s consumerist conquest, but for dedicated campaigns Kirby may rank right there with Animal Crossing and Mario. With that in mind, we’ve just been introduced to a brand new theme…
Sega must have a thing for bringing back pairs of characters in games with “Mania” in the title. Sonic Mania made Tails and Knuckles playable in a platformer again for the first time in years, followed by the Mania Plus DLC reviving both Mighty and Ray. Now it seems they’re…
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.
