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…
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle was quite the surprise when it launched last year, blowing away most people’s expectations by mashing together two unlikely franchises into one strategic adventure. Given its critical and commercial success it makes sense that both Nintendo and Ubisoft would want to continue the partnership, and…
Meltan’s reveal has been unlike any other Pokémon’s before, using the install base of GO and the anticipated release of both Let’s Go! titles to the fullest. We got a look at the English equivalent of today’s update for it earlier, and the Japanese Meltan page dedicated to the mysterious…
One of the first new stages revealed for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Boxing Ring is making a comeback in Smash Ultimate. Its two variants, each modeled for Smash Bros. itself and the Punch-Out!! series, are both back and ready to serve as a suitable stage for any…
The last Etrian game to grace the 3DS is a few months away, and Atlus has given a look at its world, classes, and characters for western fans. This new trailer shows some familiar things from previous games, fitting for a title built up as a coming together of all…
Conventional wisdom holds that all the inspired and artistic games are made by little indie teams with a vision, while the AAA studios pump out highly polished yet safer titles on a annual or biannual basis in their never ending quest to make All The Money. So when Ubisoft Montreal…
Finally, the time has come for new clothes to craft in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp! It seems like months and months have gone by without any updates that give us new clothes (outside of special event items). And lucky for us, pretty much all the pieces look like they’re perfectly…
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…
Last month The Pokémon Company revealed the brand-new creature Meltan in a very unique way, peppering it throughout Pokémon GO to get fans speculating ahead of a full reveal. Professors Willow and Oak have progressed in their research since then, sharing new info via the video below. While…
Japan has produced plenty of quirky video game developers, but one of my personal favorites is Hidetaka “Swery” Suehiro. The last generation’s Deadly Premonition was a pretty unique adventure despite its jank, while D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die was a very fun adventure game for the modern era. Now Swery…
These weekly Smash Blog music updates had yet to see a repeat series, but that streak is broken with a return from Fire Emblem. This time it’s from Awakening, being the recurring Id theme. More specifically, it’s the stunning version that signaled the final battle, Id (Purpose). We…
Back when the upcoming list of games was revealed for Switch Online’s Nintendo Entertainment System catalogue, Nintendo of Europe alluded too some mysterious “SP” versions of classic games. Now, thanks to today’s update, we know what that entails. The Legend of Zelda – Living the life of luxury! is now…
Heads up, racing game fans. Gear.Club Unlimited 2 from Microids and Eden Games is hitting Nintendo Switch on December 4th, bringing with it all the things you want from a driving game: cars, customization, and… uh, more cars. It features a big open world and more than 3,000 km of…
