Rejoice, those who were kids (or young at heart) in the late ’00s! After abruptly becoming inaccessible in March due to what Nintendo vaguely described as “maintenance,” the Wii Shop Channel and DSi Shop are both up and operational! … And mostly functionless, as nobody’s been able to buy anything…
In a move that displays the raw power of anime chess, Fire Emblem Heroes has become the first mobile game from Nintendo to make over $1 billion from player spending in its lifetime. With a B. All for a mobile game. And people wonder how gacha is so lucrative. People…
