As I’m sure anyone with a pulse can tell you, Fortnite is pretty massive. It’s so massive, in fact, that we’ve seen Epic Games’ battle royale title practically become a melting pot of every creative IP of the last 100 years. Players can don skins with characters from John Wick,…
The Rediscover GO update continues with Rediscover Your World and Residcover Kanto. For Rediscover Your World, visual updates have been added to Pokémon GO. That means biomes have clear, visual cues and backgrounds (i.e.: sandy beaches for the beach biome). To celebrate the change, Rediscover Kanto is an event featuring…
In a bit of a surprise announcement this morning, Private Division has revealed a new trailer for Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game. The title is a bit of a mouthful, but essentially, this is a brand new single-player life simulation game set within the Middle-earth…
Now that we’ve seen the new designs Nintendo will be releasing for the Switch Lite, everyone here at Nintendo Wire can’t help but keep dreaming. Just think of all the possibilities that are available for the newest mini machine — a rainbow of other colors (pink! blue! white! orange!…
As the video game industry is relatively young, there are thankfully few true, deep losses with respect to figures. But four years ago a prolific programmer, president, and gamer passed — and while the remnants of his vision continue on for now, the absence of Satoru Iwata can still be…
Get ready to sport your favorite Pokémon, Trainers! The Pokémon Center has added seven spinner pins to its online store, with the collection featuring the seven regions’ starters.

Yesterday’s announcement of Sanrio’s collaboration with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was a welcome one, especially for all of us who have been longtime Hello Kitty fans. Lucky for us, we knew even then that we wouldn’t have to wait long to see the new items land in the game, as…
It’s looking more and more likely that a new Super Monkey Ball game is rolling over the horizon. After a Japanese trademark was found back in May for Tabegoro! Super Monkey Ball (the first word roughly translating to “ripe” in the context of food), we’ve got a new age rating…
A Nintendo Switch Lite system was announced this morning — a smaller, lighter, portable-only version of Nintendo’s flagship hybrid console. It’s easy to tell the difference between the two consoles in terms of size, but what about speed, the display quality, and other specs and features? Thanks to…
For the past year, the Trine series has been making its way to the Nintendo Switch, to eventually culminate with the launch of Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince this fall. If you’d rather get all the games at once, though, this latest announcement is for you. The Trine: Ultimate Collection…
Nintendo just dropped the bombshell that has been a long time coming – the Nintendo Switch is getting a smaller model, and they’re bringing back the “Lite” moniker.

It’s official! After months of speculation, Nintendo has unveiled the Nintendo Switch Lite, a smaller, all-in-one version of the Nintendo Switch. At $100 less than the standard Switch’s RRP, it’s cut down in features — there’s no docking support, HD rumble, IR sensors, or detachable Joy-Con. At the…
It’s time for another monthly update for Nintendo Switch Online’s NES library — though this month’s is a mite more interesting than normal. The two games — Donkey Kong 3 and Wrecking Crew — are both fairly unsurprising, arcade-y additions to the library. What’s more intriguing is the addition of…
Nintendo’s latest mobile game, Dr. Mario World, is live for iOS and Android devices! The company’s latest foray into mobile gaming sees the Dr. Mario franchise get a bit of a refresh, crossing over with gameplay not unlike other mobile titles Bejeweled and Candy Crush Saga. While the titular Dr….
Dr. Mario World hasn’t even been released for 24 hours, and dataminers have already cracked open the lid to find a whole hospital’s worth of physicians who will soon be added. While the game started off with a relatively lean roster of Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, Toadette, Bowser, Bowser…
