Now, before we dive into the details, remember that the images and…
The start of 2025 has seen more Switch 2 leaks than the last couple of months combined. After a new patent mentioned upscaling technology for Nintendo’s upcoming device and a leak of the Switch 2 Joy-Con showed an optical sensor on the controller, this latest photo dump shows us a…
Of all the activities and goodies that Play Nintendo offers, the amiibo dioramas and paper playsets are a fan-favorite. It has been a few months since we were treated to an Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed setup, so it’s time for a new craft. Thankfully, Play Nintendo is doubled down…

There are benefits to both physical and digital versions of games. The former is appealing to collectors who love to line their shelves with game boxes, whereas the latter offers a convenient way to access your games without inserting a cartridge or disc. Code-in-box releases offer a compromise between the…
Mini presentations and occasional surprise announcements aside, it’s been so long since we saw a full-fledged Nintendo Direct.
