Mario Kart World, the brand-new entry in the Mario Kart series and the first new console title in a decade, is racing its way onto Nintendo Switch 2 on June 5th, 2025 as one of the console’s launch titles. We’ve learned a lot about the new game ever since it…
With the Switch 2 dominating headlines this month, you’d think Nintendo might be ready to leave the original Switch in the past. Thankfully, that isn’t the case, and Switch Online subscribers will be able to play a trio of “new” classic titles. Available starting today, April 11th, 2025, the Sega…
I love to review games that are a perfect fit for the console I’m playing them on, as if they were made with the console in mind. Rift of The NecroDancer is one such game. I first saw it revealed as a Nintendo Switch release, so I have always thought…
Since the release of Detective Pikachu (and my subsequent four theater viewings of it…), I’ve been on a bit of a Pokémon frenzy, even more so than I normally am. I open Pokémon GO a little more often than usual, look at my Pokémon cards a little more frequently, think…
Just yesterday it was confirmed that Koei Tecmo and Gust’s next game is Atelier Ryza, and now we have our first batch of details from the official website, with translations courtesy of Gematsu. Let’s run down the essentials. First up we have the protagonist, Reisalin Stout, or Ryza for short….
We’ve seen a number of creative shots of all the available Eeveelutions next to their respective decorative manhole covers in Ibusuki, Japan ever since the project started earlier this year (around March). And now that Pokémon GO has added Leafeon and Glaceon to the roster, we have the pleasure of…
After Rare changed what it means to be a console FPS on the Nintendo 64 with GoldenEye, they went on to make their own IP with the same mechanics – Perfect Dark. While the franchise has been dormant for some years after the prequel Perfect Dark Zero launched alongside the…
Update: In addition to the methods listed below, you can evolve your Eevee into Leafeon and Glaceon without requiring a Lure by nicknaming them Linnea and Rea respectively, after the two characters who used them in Pokémon Sun & Moon. This only works once per Eeveelution. In preparation for the…
With E3 only weeks away and Nintendo news on the horizon, there’s no better time to prepare for the official reveal of Animal Crossing on Switch. If you’ve been playing Pocket Camp, chances are you’re used to changing your avatar’s outfit with all those spiffy clothing options, and now you…
For every movie nerd and artist, there’s one particular item that we covet. Sometimes this will lead us to hunt through used bookstores, swap meets, and secondhand markets beyond the digital world. Yet, for current films, it’s easier to purchase their behind-the-scenes tome of an art book. The Art and…
Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “Fffffsteak” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality. Well, there was one bit of news this week that certainly smashed all the others out of the park….
There’s something sort of bittersweet about eating food that’s based off your favorite franchises. On one hand, it’s always fun to try recipes from your favorite shows and video games, but when the food actually looks like the series’ characters… that’s a different story. That’s why I’m always so conflicted…
Splatoon’s sea creature style is full of little elements that pull everything together and make the games truly unique, with one of those being Inkling smartphones having more of a squid shape to them. Does it make sense? Not really — we don’t talk into tiny people-shaped computers. But it’s…

Despite the crazy, camping out days during amiibo releases, every so often certain amiibo become hard to find a few months after their initial releases.
