As is tradition every quarter, Nintendo has released a new issue of its in-house magazine titled “Nintendo Magazine.” Shockingly original name aside, this Winter 2024 issue is now available digitally, and physical issues for the Japanese market will be shipping out soon. 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…
Just weeks before Nintendo’s Online Service is due to launch, we’re starting to see some signs that not every game will benefit from a purported feature of the paid subscription — cloud saves. It appears that the descriptions of various titles, including big Nintendo titles like Splatoon 2 and the…
We never even got the Sanrio Splatfest here in America, but I still miss it. Seeing these cute characters done up in Splatoon style was a real treat, and even led to Splatoon 2 winning the number one collab spot in Sanrio’s annual poll. Looks like they’re not done yet…
Way back in March, Nintendo announced that the GameCube launch title Luigi’s Mansion would be coming back to haunt us this year on 3DS, courtesy of Ever Oasis developer, Grezzo. While we still haven’t received a release date, we have seen the official box art, and it points to one…
Last time I was going on about a Splatoon 2 update, it included a look at what was to come later on along with all its balance tweaks. Now it’s just about time for a new Rank X season, and that means those changes are ready to roll out and…

Whether you’re celebrating a Splatfest in Inkopolis Square, getting spurred to victory when your favorite song plays in a match, or just arguing whether the Squid Sisters or Off the Hook are better, there’s no denying the power of Splatoon 2’s music. Recently the second soundtrack album, Octotune, was released…
The results are in and it’s all in ink: Squids have taken the one year anniversary Splatfest crown! Even with the chance to play as an Octoling regardless of whether you own the Octo Expansion, securing the popularity point in the process, Octopus just couldn’t match when it comes to…
It’s almost time for Splatoon 2’s one year anniversary, and with it is coming a very special Splatfest. Just like the Great Turf War of old, these two squishy species are about to put it all on the line in the name of their cephalopodic pride. Rally behind your tentacled…
With how often I still play Splatoon 2 I hadn’t realized it’s already been out for almost a year now. The ink-splashed sequel has been a Switch mainstay since July 21st last year, with all the new maps, weapons, modes, and more letting the undersea good times roll. After the…
The annual Sanrio character popularity poll has come to an end, with plenty of people turning out to vote for their favorites. This year though Nintendo fans had a little something else to eye, with Splatoon 2 featuring in a special, separate collaboration vote. This led to Splatfests themed to…
The Splatoon 2 post release content keeps on coming, with plenty more support as promised at this year’s E3. With the next Rank X season comes a brand new stage and four new weapons for squidkids (and now those fresh new Octolings) to get their hands on. New Albacore Hotel…
Splatoon 2 is an online juggernaut for Nintendo, so fans might wonder how it’ll be affected by the company’s new online service. Luckily, the squid (and octopus) shooter will still get support after the online barrier goes up later this year. It’s true that fewer players might be on the…
