Nintendo Switch Online is back with new icons, this time themed to Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Celebrating the Shiny Rayquaza Tera Raid Battle event that will kick off in a few weeks, the icons are meant to get players excited for the battles ahead! In the meantime, you can enjoy…
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. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
As time marches ever forward, I’m beginning to have this bizarre sensation of writing retrospectives for films, games, and consoles that I was alive for the launch of. Released on November 18th, 2001, in the US, the Nintendo GameCube came at an exciting time for the games industry. Even to…
Usually here on Nintendo Wire we report on new game announcements, but there’s nothing to report on this time around. A quirky meta game definitely didn’t release in 2015 as part of a game jam and see an expansion years later with the subtitle “Wrong Dimension.” Not at all. A…
The latest Indie World Showcase is here, promising 20 minutes of fresh indie game updates for the Nintendo Switch! Tune in below starting at 9 a.m. PT!
There are some things you can count on when it comes to the eShop, and among them is nonograms. Specifically the Picross S series from Jupiter, which has continuously delivered handheld number-puzzle fun for decades now. Believe it or not the Switch is home to five Picross S titles already,…
Fresh off their foray into Fortnite, perhaps the two most recognizable Street Fighter characters are setting their sights on a new crossover. Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid already spans many corners of Saban’s super sentai series, but now these world warriors are adding its farthest reach yet. Best of…
While people have been bemoaning the amount of swords in the game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has had a much more combustible agenda brewing. The irony of explosives sneaking by isn’t lost on me, nor is it when you consider one of the most heavily armed fighters is also their…
On April 14th, 2001, Animal Forest hit the Nintendo 64 in Japan. As a very late release for the system, the franchise wouldn’t make its North American debut until the GameCube port, localized as Animal Crossing, released in September 2002. Europe got it even later in September 2004! Now, twenty…
The Blizzard Arcade Collection is growing! Blizzard Entertainment announced today on its blog that the arcade collection was getting more than some quality-of-life updates. Growing from three to five, Lost Vikings 2 and RPM Racing are now available to play. From the blog post: The sequel to The Lost Vikings®, Lost…
Making landfall on Nintendo Switch for the first time, Unknown Worlds’ Subnautica and its sequel (Subnautica: Below Zero) will have you exploring stunning sci-fi worlds and questioning your spot on nature’s food pyramid. Today, a brand new cinematic trailer Subnautica: Below Zero has been released that will give you a…
Worldwide fashion retailer H&M has been switching gears behind the scenes over the last few years. The fast-fashion giant has been working towards sustainability, so much so that the company has been making strides to meet “the goal of only using recycled or other sustainably sourced materials by 2030[.]” A…
Pokémon are turning invisible in Pokémon GO, and unfortunately, it’s not an intentional fun feature involving mischievous Ghost-types or camouflaged Kecleon — it’s a new glitch that has surfaced in the game following today’s Rivals’ Week update. The event introduces two new obtainable Pokémon to the map, with the Water-type…
Cuphead is an absolute beauty in the visual department, with its hand-drawn animation based on 1930s cartoons crammed full of the unique style of that era. With this in mind, it makes complete sense that a museum exhibit based on Studio MDHR’s run-and-gun classic would also stand out due to…
