This newest release contains information about Nintendo’s games…
I didn’t anticipate that I would be writing about a new Sega Genesis cartridge in 2024, but we’re certainly living in some bizarre times. To promote the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 film, Sega has produced some promotional Genesis cartridges that include EPK (electronic press kit) materials. There’s even a…

Once the last match from the Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019 concluded, Mr. Nogami (producer of Splatoon 2) appeared on stage for the trophy ceremony. Yet before any medals were handed out, Mr. Nogami wanted to discuss Splatoon 2’s future. When June’s Splatfest was announced, Nintendo described it as being…
It’s a sad but simple fact that Splatfests can’t run forever. Nintendo’s been shedding various aspects of its post-launch support for Splatoon 2, and with the announcement of the next theme they’ve reminded us of that fact. No crying ’til the end though, as this next one’s the stuff dreams…
The Splatoon 2 World Championship is less than a week away, with four of the freshest teams of squid (and octo) kids around coming to paint over LA and splat their way through the competition. The three round tournament got a little bit of new information today, that being the…

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.

America doesn’t have nearly enough holographic squid-idol performances, especially when compared to Japan. Recently Splatoon 2’s perfect pair, Off the Hook, performed live in Makuhari in emulation of the Squid Sisters’ own performance there. Pearl and Marina do things their own way though, and if you want to treat your…
The Time Travel vs. Teleport Splatfest begins tonight, bringing a sci-fi spin to Splatoon 2. If you chose Time Travel, congratulations: you’ve chosen correctly and are still allowed to play Chrono Trigger. As for all you wayward teleporters, here’s hoping you don’t get splinched before the weekend’s up. A new…
Ending today’s Super Mario Maker 2 Direct was a surprise announcement for Nintendo’s pre-E3 plans. Joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2, nail-biting levels from Super Mario Maker 2 will be put to the test. The #SuperMarioMaker2 Invitational 2019 tournament takes place on June 8, PT, alongside the…
The weekend before E3 has slowly turned into a massive pre-party for gaming fans over the last few years. Official events with announcements — like EA Play — happen, but so do small functions (gaming-themed concerts, industry parties, etc.). Nintendo has dabbled in hosting tournament-centric events during this same weekend…
Japan may be grounding things with a Splatfest based on their professional baseball league, but US Splatoon 2 players gotta start thinking a little more fantastical. The theme for our next Fest has been revealed and it wants to know what super power players want: Time Travel or Teleportation? …
We knew it was coming and now it’s official – Nintendo is returning to E3, and its schedule is pretty much unchanged from the past few years. We have a couple days worth of tournaments, followed by a Nintendo Direct on the morning of Tuesday, June 11th, which leads into…
BoxBoy! secured My Nintendo Rewards’ May calendar, and now there are a few other goodies added to the site as well. Discounts, 3DS themes, and a Splatoon 2 character chart download have joined the lineup! With more tentacles than an Inkopolis soap opera (ink opera?), the Squid Research Lab did…
