Editor’s Note: Today, September 27th, would have marked the 6th anniversary of Dragalia Lost. To celebrate, we are re-publishing a piece we created for its 5th anniversary. Enjoy, and thank you, Mr. Lost! With the recent announcement that Mario Kart Tour will no longer be getting new content, I’ve been…
Back in the ’90s, Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were locked in what is now commonly referred to as “The Console Wars”—a fierce rivalry between gaming giants that played out through advertisements, lawsuits, and even, in one instance, a public feud in front of Congress over video game violence. While Nintendo,…
There are many reasons to celebrate what Nintendo is doing in the gaming industry from both a creative and hardware perspective (especially when it comes to pricing), and the best place to do so right now is at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. The museum is an entire building…
The mark of a truly great and popular game isn’t found in day one sales — in fact, it’s not really found in sales at all, but they do provide some metric by which we can estimate the impact and longevity of a video game. And The Legend of Zelda:…
Bust out the birthday cake and exactly two candles, because the Nintendo Switch has now been around for 730 days! The console released on March 3rd, 2017 alongside The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and some other games people occasionally remember (Snipperclips? That was fun and novel, wasn’t…
Many attribute the beginnings of Nintendo’s modern history to the success of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the worldwide popularity of Mario, but, as any sane, well-adjusted adult will tell you: this is just a baldfaced lie perpetrated by the video game Deep State. No, Nintendo’s success truly came about…
Nintendo’s ad campaigns offer fans all over the world a pretty fun mix of typical promo materials for beloved games and fascinating teases that cause the community to speculate about the tiniest details presented through imagery. This week alone, we were treated to a promo that had us wondering if…
Following yesterday’s leak for Darksiders Warmastered Edition coming to Switch, developer THQ Nordic has released an official press release announcing the arrival of the game on Nintendo’s newest console.

When Nintendo revealed a remake of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga a couple years back, two thoughts came to mind. The first was how excited I was to pick it up after the letdown that was Paper Jam, and the second was that Bowser’s Inside Story would totally be made…
Now it’s in the past it’s easy to forget the hype cycle of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, which was filled with theories, rumors, fake leaks, and so much more. All that time, Sakurai and his team at Sora were working hard on the game, and now the man himself has…
Nintendo Switch Online’s NES game library has been contentious to say the least since the service launched back in September, with a slow drip feed of iconic titles gradually filling up the library. If a new datamine is anything to go by, though, the service could be getting a…
“I have to believe that I can do this.” – Madeline, Celeste We live in an age without standard. Every day the news cycle churns out another scandal or misdeed perpetrated by those in power. Social malaises thought to be banished to history have returned, as hateful and consuming as…
To state that 2017 was a pivotal year for Nintendo would be an understatement. After almost a half decade of struggling with the Wii U, the Big N was putting all their chips into a new console — and to help sell the masses on said console, they needed a…
The Ghosts ‘n Goblins series has long held a special place in my life. It was one of the first games I ever played on the SNES, arguably the greatest console of our time. (Fight me!) Completing Super twice for the true ending was practically a right of passage between…
