As promised, Animal Crossing: Camp has brought us Fishing Tourney #12 today — and to absolutely no Nintendo fan’s disappointment, the Mario theme is front and center when it comes to fish and the rewards. Extending the Mar10 Day celebration from a few days ago, we have the opportunity to…
Valentine’s Day — that annual torrent of flowers, sweets, and romantic reminders — works just a little differently in Japan. More typically, girls will give chocolate to the special someones in their lives, which sounds a little one-sided until you hear about White Day. On March 14th, guys are expected…

IGN First has come out with two more stage reveals for Yoshi’s Crafted World, along with their accompanying flipsides. The first, “The Shogun’s Castle,” is a trap-laden level filled with spikes and other hazards. The second, “Be Afraid of the Dark,” has more of an urban setting, and features a…
Project Eevee was a social media adventure full of GIF-worthy moments. The promotion influenced several areas of Japan — for instance, last December, Eevee became an ambassador of sorts to the city of Ibusuki. And, thanks to similarities between the city’s name and the Eevee Pokémon (adding the Japanese characters…
Nintendo is turning 130 this year in September, which is a pretty big number, all things considered. It’s obviously come a long way since its playing card roots, and even in the 40-year span in which it’s been primarily a video game company there have been a ton of changes….
