According to some new rumors coming from the Famiboards, it appears as if Nintendo is amping up production of the Switch 2 to meet a theoretically gigantic launch. With no official announcement of the Switch’s successor upon us yet, gamers and industry pundits have been left to speculate on what…
It was confirmed today that Pokémon Horizons will be returning for a second season, exclusively on Netflix! Season 2 of Horizons will debut on February 7th, 2025. As has been the case since Journeys debuted on the platform, the season will most likely be split into parts with about 12…
It’s that time of year again; the air is getting colder, leaves are falling, and the days are getting shorter. All of these signs point to one thing: holiday sales are rolling out! Indeed, it’s the perfect time of year to chip away at your wishlist as retailers everywhere start…
When it comes to Nintendo franchises with forgotten, untranslated gems, Kirby is pretty lucky, with only a few games stuck overseas. One of the most notorious was Kirby’s Super Star Stacker, a Super Famicom remake of the Game Boy original, that launched in 1998, well after Nintendo of America’s 1997…
The stories of game collecting are filled with many twists of fortune and fate, and it’s often the most mundane that somehow end up as the most remarkable. Case in point — a man in his mid-30s went into local Seattle game trading establishment Pink Gorilla with a paper sack…
While the masses are no doubt building and bounding their ways through Super Mario Maker 2 and its infinite levels, some players are refining the original to a point of near-perfection. You’d think how long it’s been around you couldn’t shave anymore (milli)seconds off, but here we are with a…
I love my puzzle games, and while I’m more for Puyos and Panels, you have to respect the classics.

As a longtime fan of Square Enix’s Mana series, I’ve scouted every niche and corner of the world for game themed memorabilia since I was a little kid. I was beyond thrilled to learn that Collection of Mana would be heading to Switch soon, and now it looks like my…
We all love video game music – whether it’s a lot, very a lot, or very extremely indubitably a lot. And in recognition of the illustrious songs that have tickled and soothed our eardrums over the decades, Famitsu held a poll to determine what the best video game tracks of…
Between myself and fellow Fire Emblem fanatic Amelia Fruzzetti, you’ve no doubt seen plenty of love for Nintendo’s now flagship strategy franchise here at Nintendo Wire. It’s a series rich with features, plots, and characters; not to mention an interesting history when it comes to its rise in popularity in…

Today’s update to Nintendo Switch Online brings with it two new NES games, Donkey Kong 3 and Wrecking Crew. While Donkey Kong 3 certainly isn’t going to add a lot of excitement for most people (considering it was already available on the eShop as an Arcade archives title), I’m happy…
Konami is the latest company to announce its foray into the world of mini consoles, confirming that Hudson’s classic PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 console will be turning tiny just ahead of E3 2019 last month. At the time we only knew of a handful of games, but now Konami has confirmed the…
Western fans of the Earthbound/Mother franchise have had a rough couple of decades, from the original NES game that was translated and never saw an official release until just a few years ago, to the cancelled Nintendo 64 project, and the unlocalized Mother 3… Well, maybe one day we’ll get…
It’s time for another monthly update for Nintendo Switch Online’s NES library — though this month’s is a mite more interesting than normal. The two games — Donkey Kong 3 and Wrecking Crew — are both fairly unsurprising, arcade-y additions to the library. What’s more intriguing is the addition of…
