In a rather humorous bit of discovery related to Super Mario 64, one YouTuber discovered that you can get trapped in the game’s star selection menu for two and a quarter years if you wait a ridiculously long time to select a stage. How long must you wait? Two and…
If you’re a dedicated Super Smash Bros. player who was looking for the love of your life to share your gaming hobby with, the recently closed “SmashTogether” app may have been perfect for you. I’m using the past tense here because Nintendo has issued a cease and desist order to…
In a surprising announcement, it’s been revealed that most game media will not receive a Switch 2 console until at least launch day. The reason is apparently due to a major patch that will be pushed out at launch. Whatever the reason may be, journalists are not happy, as they…
The Pokémon Center has officially announced that the Johto Pokémon Fit plushes are coming to Japan on Saturday, June 8th. Hopefully this means that we’ll be receiving news about the same collection — titled Sitting Cuties here in North America — hitting our own PC online store in the near…
Back in October 2018, Uniqlo announced that it’d be holding another contest for a wave of Pokémon shirts, and now the winners have been announced. From melty Pikachu popsicles to Team Rocket using a crane machine, there are plenty of cute designs. The winner, though, is a stylish Gyarados print,…
Another week, another batch of new faces set to make their debut in Fire Emblem: Three Houses later this summer. Each of the game’s groups of students have grown a little bigger but this time a few teachers are in the mix. Assuming they’re NPC’s and unavailable to develop as…
During our last Direct, Nintendo revealed a new means for fans to purchase games at a slight discount. If you’re a Switch Online subscriber you can buy the Switch Game Voucher, getting you two titles for the flat rate of $99.99. Among those available titles is PlatinumGames’ upcoming Astral Chain,…
The rosen scent of early summer has rolled in, and with it comes the season of betrothals. After having two sets of hitched brides (and one groom) in previous years, Fire Emblem Heroes is back for a third bridal banner, and – rather surprisingly – the game pulls almost entirely…
The July 19th release date for Marvel Ultimate Alliance is fast approaching, and in the last week GameInformer has been rounding up gameplay for a different character each day.

Update: In addition to the methods listed below, you can evolve your Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon without requiring a Lure by nicknaming them Linnea and Rea respectively, after the two characters who used them in Pokémon Sun & Moon. This only works once per Eeveelution. In preparation for the…
Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “I owned but never played the original Mario Maker so you know what drag me” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality. Well, there was one item…
The second round of Pokémon GO’s Snapshot challenges tasked Trainers to embrace the world around them and to think about how Pokémon would interact with different environments.

As the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu event comes to a close in Pokémon GO, a new event is on the horizon. This month’s Community Day is taking place on Sunday, and you’re probably wondering: What’s happening after the three hour Torchic-catching spree? The next weeklong event in Pokémon GO is all about…
With its impressive catalogue of IP, Square Enix is a company that is no stranger to tie-in books, but few of them head overseas. It’s only in recent years that we’ve seen the likes of Final Fantasy’s hefty “Ultimania” behind-the-scenes treasure troves head overseas, but it looks like those gaps…
