The launch week for the Switch 2 has seen Nintendo’s latest device put up some incredible numbers by any measure. With the device becoming the fastest-selling console of all time and even launching in Japan to nearly one million units (which might be higher if we take My Nintendo Store…
With the Nintendo Switch 2 becoming the fastest-selling console of all-time in just one weekend, it should be no surprise that its marquee game, Mario Kart World, has also been lighting up the sales charts.

Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
