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…
We all know the classic Nintendo antagonists — Bowser for Mario, Ganon for Link, and capitalism for any Animal Crossing villager. But it’s clear that for one green dino, his greatest foe is not Bowser Jr. or any of his cronies — it’s the United States Government. Previously we thought…
It is the stuff of video game legend — a tale imbued, however dramatically, with a Shakespearean quality of hubris and irony. In the late ’80s and early ’90s, our three actors — the once and future king Nintendo, fair and beautiful SquareSoft, and mighty and brave Sony — put…

Another month, another pair of games added to Nintendo’s NES Nintendo Switch Online collection. Much to our delight, Nintendo even snuck in a few surprises this month. First up is what we already knew — that February brings us Super Mario Bros. 2 and Kirby’s Adventure. Staples from the 8-bit…
Dragon Quest is huge in Japan. That’s one of the most well known factoids about the franchise, with stories of people skipping work simply to dive straight into the latest entries, which became such an epidemic they had to shift their release dates to the weekend, although it’s urban myth…
There is perhaps nothing in the history of the Big N quite as enduring as EarthBound fans begging Nintendo of America for Mother 3, the GBA masterpiece that is at once a heartrending conclusion to the Mother trilogy and a treatise on the goodness of humanity. The requests have been…
Want to party like it’s 1999? Well, Huggins & Scott Auctions may have a particularly niche form of nostalgia to deliver directly to you, if you have the cash — an extremely rare and unopened 1st Edition Limited Printing Base Set Booster Box for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The…
