Anyone who has been keeping up with Nintendo news over the past year or so can attest that the lead-up to the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a wild ride. For the longest time fans were eagerly looking for any news or rumors related to the system, and any insider…
One of the most striking things about the design of the Switch 2 is how basic everything is. Gone are the days of New 3DS Faceplates or fun colors, and in is Nintendo’s era of functionality over personality… or so we thought. If a recent listing by AliExpress is anything…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
NES Zelda badges return, as well as a pile of retro Super Famicom, Nintendo 3DS and DS cartridges. Don’t forget, the Badge Arcade is taking players on a nostalgic trip through history all this week with a handful of Nintendo console and software catchers in celebration of Nintendo’s next console…
With the Nintendo Switch launching with a relatively paltry 32GB in-built storage limit (or 27gb once the operating system is factored in), it’s definitely raising eyebrows considering how large modern games can be.

Laura Kate Dale (also known was LauraKBuzz) has released a great deal of footage of Switch gameplay – mostly Zelda, but also a bit of Splatoon 2; 1,2, Switch; and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Most interestingly, she claims that while the docked version of Zelda looks nicer, it has some…
Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé has revealed several details about the Switch in a new interview with Wired, including what the Switch’s online service will look like, as well as what the future holds in store for the Nintendo 3DS. A “monthly game download” is among a…
Despite rumors indicating that Nintendo gamers would see the announcement of Mother 3 for the Switch during last night’s presentation, no such news came out of the event; however, Nintendo of America President and CEO Reggie Fils-Aimé has acknowledged the game’s demand, as well as the demand for a new…
Sad news for fans and active users of Nintendo’s proprietary social networking platforms, as neither Miiverse nor the Nintendo 3DS’s StreetPass feature will be making the jump to Switch consoles. The news comes via David Young, Nintendo of America’s assistant manager of public relations, who broke the tidbit to Gamesbeat…
Game Boy Advance cartridges, Super Famicom peripherals and more join this week’s smattering of retro Nintendo classic consoles. My personal favorite addition goes to Mario Paint’s infamous mouse and mousepad combo. Don’t forget, the Badge Arcade is taking players on a nostalgic trip through history all this week with a…
The Nintendo Switch Presentation had a lot of huge announcements, but it was one of the smaller games that stood out to me most – Super Bomberman R. Not only is it the first console Bomberman game in years, it also shows Konami is willing to use the oft-forgotten former-Hudson…
During today’s Nintendo Treehouse Live stream for the Switch, a surprise Nintendo Direct for the upcoming Koei Tecmo crossover game Fire Emblem Warriors was announced.
