Niantic is bringing back the Sustainability Week event for Pokémon GO this year. For 2024, the event is focused more on hatching Pokémon from event 2 km Eggs. Luckily these Eggs will have a shiny hatching boost. Other than that, there aren’t any themed Wild Encounters or Raids. (For more…
Mother fans in Japan are in for a treat! Following the announcement of Mother 3’s arrival on Nintendo Switch Online in Japan (sigh), the Mother Project has unveiled an exciting lineup of all-new Mother 3 plushies to commemorate the occasion. According to the Mother Project webpage, the plushies…
The Splatoon 3 Spring Fest 2024 is set to go live tonight and to get fans excited, Nintendo has uploaded an amazingly cuddly-looking piece of promo art. A three-way Splatfest between Baby Chicks, Li’l Bunnies, and Bear Cubs, I’m not sure it even matters who wins at this point. This…
Ever since its full E3 2018 reveal, Nintendo has been supplying daily updates to the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate website. Fighter spotlights, Assist Trophies, Pokémon, new music, and more are all being shown off to get you ready for the biggest crossover around! Let’s have a look at what Nintendo…
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.

It feels like the Switch is getting new fighting games fairly regularly, usually in the form in re-released classics or spinoffs of existing franchises. Nothing new had cropped up and caught my eye, until out of nowhere during E3 2017 when Nicalis started showing off this unheard of fighting game…
Regardless of what types of games I played growing up, sprites are always going to define “video game” for me in a visual sense. There’s something so pure to the medium about pixels coming together — you can even guess when a game was created based on how it looks…
A brand-new New Nintendo 2DS XL bundle has been announced, combining a purple-and-silver New Nintendo 2DS XL and a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 7. In addition to the new color and bundle news, it was announced that both the currently available black-and-turquoise and white-and-orange New Nintendo 2DS XLs will…
If you’ve yet to do the odyssey and travel around the world with Mario, you might be in luck. Next month, Nintendo of America is set to release a new starter pack bundle featuring Super Mario Odyssey and the game’s accompanying Traveler’s Guide, and it’ll cost the same as the…
The Rathalos Assist/Boss reveal during the recent Direct definitely blindsided me. We’d had the Monster Hunter armor for Mii Fighters and as a franchise it has been fairly associated with Nintendo (or rather the 3DS), but I never would’ve guessed its inclusion. But here we are, with the Monster of…
We only just recently learned that the Kirby Café was coming back to Japan this September, but it looks like it’s going to be quite the return. Chef Kawasaki is joining in the celebration alongside Waddle Dee and Kirby himself, and with this new video we can see how an…
The crumbs have settled, the plates are licked, and all the leftovers have been packed away — the great cutlery calamity of Splatoon 2’s Splatfest has subsided. There appears to have been a shine towards Spoons based on popularity, but once again that’s not enough to secure the true victory….
December always feels so far away, and this year I place the blame firmly on Smash. The turnaround time on this game is incredible, but we still have to wait for it and all it’ll include for another three months. Judging by Amazon’s Best Sellers list though, we’re not the…
The Japanese Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Twitter account shared a very interesting image with campers this morning. In it, it’s easy to spot quite a few grape themed items through the mysterious gyroid face. Have a look: 【ちょっとのぞき見👀】 キャラメルさんがぶどうを見てまヒね～🍇おや、ドレミさんが座っているイスもよく見ると･･･ぶどう柄でヒかね？なんだか秋のおとずれを感じるイベントがはじまる予感でヒ！ 続報をお楽しみに～♪#ポケ森 #ハニワの穴 pic.twitter.com/RYjTNetTcA — どうぶつの森 ポケットキャンプ (@pokemori_jp) August 27, 2018…
