Over the past few weeks, it feels like we’ve been reporting on leaks more than official announcements. A few months ago, the Pokémon Company suffered a massive leak due to an external hack. However, today’s leaked Pokémon news comes directly from Pokémon GO developer Niantic. According to the leak, a…
Welcome to 2025, everyone! While we eagerly await Nintendo to announce anything about the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, it seems vendors at CES in Las Vegas didn’t get the memo that the console hasn’t officially been unveiled yet. Now, before we dive into the details, remember that the images and…
The start of 2025 has seen more Switch 2 leaks than the last couple of months combined. After a new patent mentioned upscaling technology for Nintendo’s upcoming device and a leak of the Switch 2 Joy-Con showed an optical sensor on the controller, this latest photo dump shows us a…
Halloween 2021 may be over but Lego and Nintendo did give us a treat before the spooky times ended with the announcement of new Luigi’s Mansion-themed sets. While they don’t include Luigi himself, you’ll have to grab his Starter Course for that, the three new sets feature the likes of…
Suddenly today, Nintendo of America closed two of its satellite offices. Initially reported by Kotaku, sources informed them that it was just the Redwood City, California office (home to its sales and marketing departments). After reaching out to Nintendo for a statement, it was confirmed that the Toronto, Ontario office…
October saw the release (and delay) of Pokémon TCG: Celebrations, and while some sets will be arriving in stores in the coming weeks, The Pokémon Company has another Pokémon TCG expansion waiting in the wings. Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield—Fusion Strike will be launching on November 12th, and this expansion…
Technically we haven’t celebrated Halloween yet, but that hasn’t stopped retailers and various companies from showing off their Christmas goods. Today, Pokémon Center Japan officially announced its Christmas 2021 collection and they’re ditching snow for the big blue ocean. Pikachu, Piplup, and friends will be celebrating Christmas this year under…
Pre-orders and pre-loads for Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ upcoming Happy Home Paradise paid DLC is now live ahead of its November 5th launch. It’s time to dust the sand off your clipboard — soon you’ll be able to make some clients’ dreams come true! Pre-order the #AnimalCrossing: New Horizons…
On Friday, November 19th, the Pokémon Center of Japan’s “fun fun fit” (aka, Pokémon Fit) lineup of palm-sized plushes will be expanding to the next region with its fifth collection. To tie in with the release of Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shinning Pearl that day, all 121 species of the…
Nearly all of Nintendo’s mobile titles have fully embraced Halloween at this point, delivering treats and costumed characters to their players. Pikmin Bloom might be sans spooky, but that certainly isn’t the case for Dragalia Lost, which has just begun its latest facility event: The Clockwork Heart. As…
Squid Kids are fully of surprises and style, so what better holiday to prop up as their own than Halloween? Multiple Splatfests have turned this carnival of candy and costumes into the much more fitting (and messy) celebration that is Splatoween, and though the game isn’t out yet it’s all…
Announced previously, Monster Hunter Rise has now welcomed its latest Capcom Collab Event Quest. Up for grabs for those able to steel themselves for whatever lies ahead is a layered armor for their hunter. Not just any armor, though, but the unmistakable suit belonging to Sir Arthur of Ghosts ‘n…
Ah, Mario Party, a game that has the power to tear friendships apart like a rotating analog stick on a bare palm. You wouldn’t know that from the launch trailer for Mario Party Superstars, which leans into the fun and games of the series’ N64 heyday. You can…
Banjo-Kazooie is beloved for many reasons, but for my massive sack of 900 Notes I’d wager that one of the best is its soundtrack. I can’t imagine Talon Trotting through Gruntilda’s Lair to anything other than composer Grant Kirkhope’s work, with every world getting a treatment that’s both distinct and…
While the merch retailer Fangamer has secured plenty of iconic licenses over the years, from Banjo-Kazooie to Celeste and Undertale, those outside of the United States have had to deal with rather pricey import fees. Thankfully that’ll soon be changing for European customers as the company has announced it will…
