Welcome to the Nintendo Newscast! On today’s episode, we talk waiting on the Direct, upcoming Nintendo Switch games, and our hopes for 2019!
Detective Pikachu hasn’t even graced us with its presence yet and we’re already hearing rumors of more action-like Pokémon movies in the works. An exciting time to be alive, that’s for sure! According to one of We Got this Covered’s trusted inside sources, Legendary Entertainment is currently working on a…
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.

It’s that time of month once again, when Nintendo tries to excite us with its rollout of NES titles paired with your Switch Online subscription. This month it’s a pair of solid picks and a couple of SP surprises, available now via an update to the service’s app. New…

We always wonder “what might have been,” especially in regards to cancelled or stopgapped game projects. Case in point: Headcannon, one of the developers behind the excellent Sonic Mania, pitched a Darkwing Duck game to Capcom that was never picked up. The game was styled a bit like Ducktales Remastered,…
One of the best, most recurring Nintendo easter eggs is whenever “Totaka’s Song” pops up. Usually well hidden or requiring direct player input (or rather, a lack thereof) to start it up, this latest discovery of it comes from a game that already featured the song in a different spot….
