Enjoy, and thank you, Mr. Lost! With the recent announcement that Mario Kart Tour will no longer be getting new content, I’ve been…
Back in the ’90s, Nintendo, Sega, and Sony were locked in what is now commonly referred to as “The Console Wars”—a fierce rivalry between gaming giants that played out through advertisements, lawsuits, and even, in one instance, a public feud in front of Congress over video game violence. While Nintendo,…
There are many reasons to celebrate what Nintendo is doing in the gaming industry from both a creative and hardware perspective (especially when it comes to pricing), and the best place to do so right now is at the Nintendo Museum in Kyoto, Japan. The museum is an entire building…

I’ve always had a soft spot for strategy games, with my love for Fire Emblem being evident enough on this site and plenty other series peaking my interest. Most of these are turn-based affairs, with menus and chess-like grids being the norm. At this year’s E3 I got to shed…
Two atmospheric and appreciated indie titles from developer Playdead are making their way to the Nintendo Switch eShop today, and even if they look dreary you should definitely be excited.

Most Legendary Pokémon always struck me as cheating. The thrill of encountering them was always awesome (I still remember randomly running into Suicune and freaking out to the point of using my Master Ball), and their involvement in the plots and myths are great for lore hounds. But all that…
Bustin’… er… Blastin’ makes you feel good, that goes without saying, so it’s nice to hear Yo-Kai Watch Blasters will finally be releasing in the West for the Nintendo 3DS this September, with two versions – Red Cat Corps and White Dog Squad. Originally released in Japan back…
