Yesterday on voice actor Erica Schroeder’s Instagram page, it was revealed that prolific Meowth voice actor James Carter Cathcart had passed away from throat cancer at the age of 71. While he may not be an immediately recognizable name, fans of a certain age will be intimately familiar with his…
While Nintendo will forever be engaged in the battle against piracy, it seems the company has just gotten a big helping hand from the FBI of all organizations. Yesterday, it was reported by Kotaku that the FBI has taken down one of the largest Switch piracy sites as part of…
While Hitman: World of Assassination is a pretty decent Nintendo Switch 2 port, all things considered, it hasn’t been without its fair share of criticisms. Most of the complaints focus on the performance of the game, which can be a bit shaky when stacked against the title on other platforms….
On this random Tuesday morning, Nintendo has announced a brand-new Splatoon 3 spinoff titled “Splatoon Raiders” for the Switch 2. Many believed that the DJ trio “Deep Cut” would originally be the focus of a DLC campaign for Splatoon 3, but instead, it seems Nintendo felt Big Man was too…
There’s no shortage of Sonic the Hedgehog spinoffs in general. Ranging from exceptional (The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Battle) to regrettable (Sonic Shuffle, Knuckles’ Chaotix), that polarization extends pretty evenly to past racing games. Sega’s last attempt at that particular genre, Team Sonic Racing, left a lot to…
One of the most exciting aspects of Mario Kart World upon reveal was the wide array of more obscure playable characters included in the game. Known as NPC characters, this group largely consists of basic enemies and other niche characters who are distinguished from the rest of the cast by…
As many players will have likely figured out by now, Mario Kart World does not feature a 200cc mode for its races. Although Mario Kart 8 added 200cc, not even at launch but through an update to the Wii U version, its absence in a new Mario Kart is peculiar….
With the massive jump in power the Nintendo Switch 2 brings compared to the original Switch, the possibilities for third-party games on the console feel broader than ever. Back in April when we got our first good look at the system and what it could run, there were a myriad…
Last November, we ran an op/ed speculating about the performance improvements the Nintendo Switch 2 could bring to the vast library of Switch 1 games. While some have gotten native ports or Switch 2-specific updates, it would be impossible for Nintendo and every other publisher to update all 5,987 games…
As people discovered yesterday, the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with a variety of generic USB webcams for use with GameChat. That’s great for people who already have a webcam in their possession and don’t want to shell out for Nintendo’s official camera. What if you wanted to…
On Twitter this morning, Nintendo announced that a brand-new tournament for Mario Kart World will take place in Tokyo, Japan, this October. Dubbed the “Mario Kart World Invitational,” the only guess we have for what this tournament will be is in the name. There will likely be various qualifying rounds…
A massive update has hit Nintendo Music! The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been added to the music service, adding a whopping 344 tracks. Coming in at a runtime of 11 hours and 43 minutes, this is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest updates for…
The Nintendo Switch 2 is officially here, and while everyone’s off racing in Mario Kart World or hacking away in Cyberpunk 2077, I’m doing what I do best: opening amiibo! That’s right, four new Legend of Zelda amiibo just dropped: Yunobo, Tulin, Riju, and Sidon. Each one unlocks special gear…
When Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 earlier this year and revealed its new GameChat feature, one of the key elements to making that whole thing work was a new webcam for the console. Plugged directly into the console via USB-C, the camera wasn’t anything special and didn’t require any additional…
Update (6/6/25): Over on Twitter, GameStop has released a statement addressing the issue with staples ruining the screens of newly purchased Switch 2 units. Noting that it was isolated to one location (in this case, the Forest Avenue Staten Island store), the company posted a clip from Mike Judge’s “Office…
