I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
According to a report from Vooks, it appears as if physical versions of “Switch 2 Enhanced” games will contain the full game and its upgrades on the same cartridge. This follows after a Nintendo UK rep stated otherwise. It’s safe to say that Nintendo has mostly botched the messaging around…
Booting up my Nintendo Switch to play Croc for the first time since I was a kid playing it on my PlayStation yielded largely the same results as it did in the ’90s. By World 3’s desert, I was dying repeatedly to seemingly endless pits, cursing out the lantern level…
At this point it’d take a lot to convince me that Pokémon Gold & Silver isn’t the best pair of games the series has ever hosted. Every generation has its charms, and while they aren’t exactly perfect, there’s no denying this duo’s excellence. That’s just driven further by these new…
Our weekly Three Houses character roundup took a break last week for E3, but the introductions didn’t! A plethora of new students (and one new adult) have been introduced via the official FE Twitter account, and there’s all replete with introductions and bios. Let’s break it down, shall we? First…
I’m tired of Mr. Mime’s big, creepy hand greeting me when I load up Pokémon GO. While the Smeargle photobomb is an endearing display in its own right, it’s been around for a while and the magic just isn’t there anymore. That’s why I’m glad to see that the latest…
The Fire Emblem: Three Houses main theme is a certificable bop, filled with the same hypercharged lyricism and sweeping hooks as any proper anime opening. And now it’ll be getting a proper CD release… in Japan, at least, where the song has received an official title of フレスベルグの少女～風花雪月～ or Hræsvelgr…
Super Mario Maker 2’s release is nearly here. On June 28th, the creative floodgates will open, with hundreds of thousands of brand new Super Mario Bros. levels to conquer. When a date was finally announced and retailers listed pre-orders for the title, the North American audience was soon envious of…
Sign into Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp today and you’ll find a brand new wall and floor collection waiting for you to browse. These limited-time items are offering you two distinct looks and themes: the dreamy pastel wall and floor items will turn your camper or cabin into a magical dreamscape;…
For Sonic’s 10th anniversary, we saw a huge push for the original release of Sonic Adventure 2. For Sonic’s 20th, we got the critically acclaimed Sonic Generations, that celebrated the history of the blue blur. Now, in two years time in 2021, we’ll be celebrating the franchise’s 30th anniversary, and…
There are few arcade games I love quite like Space Harrier, with its surreal aesthetic, amazing soundtrack, and fun gameplay loop making it stand the test of time despite first releasing in Japanese arcades back in 1986. Now, the game is heading to Switch as part of Sega Ages, and…
Symphonies for game music have become increasingly prevalent over time, with features like Zelda’s Symphony of the Goddesses and Final Fantasy’s Distant Worlds touring worldwide to unabashed acclaim. But even the orchestras that play a variety of game selections tend to only feature the big, AAA titles and their sounds…
Welcome to the Nintendo Wiretap! Each day the team here at Nintendo Wire works tirelessly to bring you the best, most relevant late-breaking Nintendo news this side of the Mushroom Kingdom. To help make ingesting all these meaty stories easier than Kirby hopped up on Miracle Fruit, we’ve compiled a…
Timed right alongside Banjo & Kazooie’s Super Smash Bros. Ultimate debut, the fine folks at Fangamer have launched some new wares made for fans of birds, bears, and Rare. While they’ve had a few Banjo-Kazooie inspired bits of merch in the past (including a shirt I brought along to E3…
PlatinumGames has been riding high for a bit now, with Nier: Automata’s glowing success (on every current platform save Switch…) and the upcoming releases Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3 (these two exclusive to Switch). They’ve made no secret of a little something they’d like to work on, though, and that’s…
