After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…

With the Switch 2 only a week away, Nintendo’s next console will soon be out in the wild and in people’s hands and homes. Not everyone will be getting a Switch 2 on release, however, and that’s where Best Buy’s newest summer gaming event comes in. Throughout the month of…
Alongside confirming when its next Pokémon Presents stream will take place, Nintendo announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A will be hitting both the Switch and Switch 2 on October 16th, 2025.

The Pokémon Company has swooped in on this fine spring day in late May to give us some exciting news that’ll definitely give us all something to look forward to: a Pokémon Presents is on its way! We’ll all be able to tune in on July 22nd at 6 a.m….
In a bizarre situation that is fairly reminiscent of the Wii U, it has been confirmed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will require a system update to make use of microSD Express cards. Why is that so strange, you may be asking? Well, microSD Express cards are the only form…

With only a week left to go in May, it’s time for Nintendo to spring some new classic games onto its NSO service. Instead of a broad selection of titles, this month sees four new Game Boy games getting added, with one being a ludicrously expensive Game Boy Color game….
One of the more baffling decisions when it comes to the Switch 2 is Nintendo skipping out on Hall Effect joysticks for the Joy-Con 2. We’ve previously discussed the benefits of Hall Effect joysticks before on Nintendo Wire, but suffice it to say, it’s a seriously big missed opportunity on…
