Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards stands as a fan-favorite in the pink puffball’s 30-year legacy. With good reason too, particularly for its unique twist on Kirby’s Copy Ability. Now that it’s available via Switch Online for Expansion Pack subscribers, fans are flocking back to Pop Star, Ripple Star, and everywhere…
Here at Nintendo Wire, we like to think we know a little bit about de-makes. While the de-makes we’ve made have been visual concepts only, some fans take it a step further and create playable experiences for retro systems. This time, the physics puzzler Portal has been completely recreated and…
As Kirby’s 35th anniversary came and went last month I couldn’t help but feel a longing to replay the first Kirby game I experienced as a child, but alas, I did not have access to an N64 at the time. To add to this misfortune, Mario Golf took the Nintendo…
Reggie Fils-Aimé may have departed from Nintendo of America, but he has certainly not forgotten his role as the company’s president and all of the engagement with fans he had during his tenure. The Regginator has a history of light-heartedly teasing Mother 3 fans, particularly those who continue to demand…
Reggie’s press gauntlet to promote his new book (Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo) continues, as he recently went on the Kinda Funny Gamescast to discuss various facets of his career and more. While the full 47-minute interview is chock-full of enticing info and well…

The World Video Game Hall of Fame, part of the National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, has inducted several classics into its lineup each year since 2015. Every entry so far has been more than deserving, and the 2022 lineup of games is no different: Ms. Pac-Man, Dance…
If there is one game that Reggie Fils-Aimé will ever be associated with on a personal level (well, besides Wii Fit) it’ll be one he never released. The cries of “come on Reggie, give us Mother 3” have echoed since 2006, with the EarthBound fandom of the late ’00s almost…
The Switch Online Expansion Pack has seen steady growth since it began. N64 and Sega Genesis games have been added to the service semi-regularly, but the main “value” kicks in when it comes to Switch DLC. Animal Crossing: New Horizons set the stage, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has boosted the…
Over the years, the people have cried out for Nintendo to Hire This Man, and yet they never seem to, which means that This Man, Unhired, will continue to make hyper-realistic Unreal Engine mockups for our viewing pleasure. This Man (which does not refer to one specific person but rather…
You can make a laundry list of theoretical reasons why Mother 3 hasn’t seen a Western release over the years, both plausible and conspiratorial — poor release timing on an increasingly outdated console, general obscurity, Reggie Fils-Aimé just liked drinking the tears of Mother fans (I saw that one a…
Fans of retro N64 platformers, drunk squirrels, or plush poo will be happy today: Fangamer has released several new items for their line of merchandise for Conker’s Bad Fur Day. In addition to the previous shirts, pins, and plushes, fans of the crude Rare title will have some new stuff…
