This mechanic is part of Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Pokémon Sword and Shield) where Pokémon transform into “giant” versions of themselves or even new larger…
Split Fiction, the latest co-op multiplayer game by developer Hazelight, launched on March 6th to critical acclaim. Shortly after launch, it was rumored that a movie adaptation was in the works for the game and we’ve now received confirmation on its existence, along with one of the stars as well…
It all starts out with a dead body. You’ve heard this story before: a corpse lying in the middle of a field, near the sewer system. Yet, all in Thimbleweed Park is not as it seems at first glance. There’s much more going on here than just a simple murder….
So much for releasing on Friday. Earlier this morning, Super Mario Run’s newest mode Remix 10 became available. Thanks to being a bit of a night owl, I quickly updated the game around 3:00 a.m. PT so I could give it a try. Yup, that early — I was…
Copying is what Kirby does, but the pink puff’s style has always been his own. He floated onto the scene in 1992 and had his first console Adventure the next year, all under the watchful eye of Masahiro Sakurai. Kirby’s Dream Land 2 would arrive in ‘95, with a few…
Oops? Scheduled for tomorrow, Super Mario Run’s latest update that’s all about Remix 10 couldn’t wait. Taking off at high speeds, you can find the download under the updates tab in Apple’s App Store or checking it out on Google Play. Not only that, but the $4.99 discount price for…

It seemed like an inevitability that resident Fire Emblem quasi-mascot and money loving redhead Anna would make it into the Fire Emblem Warriors roster, but after months of wondering if she’d be playable (and after a leak seemed to confirm as such) Koei Tecmo has dropped a trailer a mere…
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…
Just in time for inevitable Halloween parties and to only a little late to celebrate the oddly appropriate Be Bald and Free Day (seriously, look it up), Jackbox Party Pack 4 will be coming to a system or stream near you. The group based, easy to get in on games…
Olly olly oxen free! Night School Studio just clarified what exactly an “October 2017” release means for Oxenfree’s port on the Nintendo Switch. How does the first Friday in October sound? You’ll want to save October 6th as the day to pick up a Switch controller (Joy-Con or Pro) and…
The My Nintendo Rewards section received a big update today. It’s been quite some time since a full game has been available in exchange for Gold Points, so Nintendo made sure we had four options to pick from. We’re sad to report that the Switch rewards button is still grayed…
This is it, everyone. The final stretch. If you’re not getting seriously pumped up, then you’re probably not keeping track of dates very well. In exactly one month, those of us lucky enough to own a Switch (hopefully that’s everyone reading!) will be comfortably sitting in our gaming chairs with…
