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…
The upcoming release of Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package on Nintendo Switch is picking up steam. Out on May 10th, the wise-cracking, no holds barred, meta-comedic urban street-gang sandbox game has its sights set on a bigger screen and heist. Painting the silver screen purple, Deadline secured…
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…
Crystal Crisis is almost here to bring puzzle-fighting fun to the Switch, and ahead of its release at the end of the month Nicalis is sharing songs from its soundtrack. For three days now, a new piece of music has been uploaded, ranging from the game’s opening theme (previously heard…
An eagle-eyed ResetEra user by the name of Nuclear Muffin has pointed out that the copyright screen for HAL Laboratory’s BoxBoy! + BoxGirl! states that the game was “Made with Unity.” He points out that this is the first time HAL has used an external engine to create a game,…
BoxBoy! secured My Nintendo Rewards’ May calendar, and now there are a few other goodies added to the site as well. Discounts, 3DS themes, and a Splatoon 2 character chart download have joined the lineup! With more tentacles than an Inkopolis soap opera (ink opera?), the Squid Research Lab did…
After the stunned, silent weeping in response to yesterday’s Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer, Detective Pikachu is here to remind us that it’s possible to make beloved characters realistic and cute at the same time. This one features a short new scene where Ryan Reynolds’ eponymous investigator snarks about spa…
May! May is the fifth page on the calendar, and it’s my second favorite month of the year. (March is first, if you were wondering.) There’s no major first party title coming from Nintendo in May, so the indies and third parties are really carrying the load for these…
Yesterday, ads started popping up in retail stores referencing a “Pokémon Pass” app which had yet to be officially revealed. Thankfully the wait wasn’t long for official confirmation, as the Pokémon Company has released the app onto the iOS and Google Play stores. As of right now, it seems limited…
As of May 1st, 2019, upon the ascension of Emperor Naruhito to the throne, Japan has entered the Reiwa era. To mark the occasion, and get in some sneaky new advertising, Nintendo uploaded a video highlighting Super Mario Maker 2’s creation capabilities. View this post on Instagram A post…
Smash Ultimate has hosted plenty of Spirit Board events, and I’m sure you know the drill. Hop in, grab some Spirits based on a theme or game series, and rake in bonus rewards for your trouble. Nothing’s been problematic with these in the past and it’s even helped me nab…
Labo VR has only been out for a few short weeks, but we’ve already seen some incredible games made with its creative mode. Case in point — this recreation of Rhythm Heaven’s iconic Karate Joe minigame, which features a minute of beat-pumping and object-punching action. Hopefully Nintendo adds a way…
Pokémon freebies have always appeared in many different forms — trading cards, special Pokémon that you can train and battle with, figurines, toys, activity books, etc. Smart devices and digital-only goodies can also be thrown into the mix. What if the Pokémon Company mashes these two forms together though? Chris…
