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…
In what is sure to be a devastating story for some, there have been various reports across social media of GameStop customers receiving their Nintendo Switch 2 units with staple holes in the screen due to the flimsy packaging used for the console. IGN reports that US GameStop customers found…
It’s time to engage the enemy — the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct delivered a good deal of new info about its battle system and finer points, including a couple new bits about the Ouroboros mechanic. Much like previous games, Xenoblade 3’s fights take place in the open world, characters auto-attacking…
Tying in with the recently concluded Hisuian Snow miniseries, which prominently featured a shiny Hisuian Zorua, a new Mystery Gift distribution has arrived for Pokémon Legends: Arceus. By accessing Mystery Gift and the “Get via Internet” option you’ll be given a Shiny version of the Baneful Fox Mask. If you…
The Squid Research Lab, the official Splatoon Twitter account, has another report on Splatoon 3. This time, the team is shining a spotlight on some of the new hairstyles that’ll be in the upcoming game. Check out the fancy photoshoot that was shared on Twitter: Squid Research Lab here,…
It’s not a Xenoblade game if you don’t have a landscape the size of Alaska to explore in any given map, and a sizable portion of today’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct was dedicated to showing off the world traversal. The usual giant landscapes, similarly giant monsters, and fast travel points…
The world of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 has expanded a little further — actually, quite a bit, with today’s Xenoblade Direct revealing a whole new side to the world-building that hasn’t been revealed prior to today’s presentation. What previously was depicted as a simple war between the nations of Keves and…
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is shaping up to be another strong entry in Nintendo’s (dare I say flagship?) RPG series. Everything shown during today’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct points to a robust experience that’s maintained the strengths of its predecessors while both trying new things and improving on weaker ones. There’ll…
Nintendo ended today’s Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Direct not with news on when its coveted Special Edition can be ordered, but instead a burning question for fans of figures — amiibo support. While there were no new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 amiibo announced, it was confirmed that other figures can be tapped…
It might not be the Direct we were expecting for June, but Nintendo will soon be sharing 20 minutes of information about the upcoming Xenoblade Chronicles 3. You’ll be able to tune in at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. ET below.
A new update is out now for Among Us, containing over 100 bug fixes and some quality-of-life improvements.

Ubisoft’s free-to-play competitive skate game Roller Champions has officially launched on Nintendo Switch. “As a Roller Champion, compete in a team of three against three,” the game’s official description reads. “The rules are simple: take the ball, make a lap while maintaining team-possession, dodge opponents and score.” Roller Champions released…
The extent to which people continue to tinker with and exploit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is truly impressive. From pulling magnificent Stasis stunts to clobbering every enemy in Hyrule with Magnesis, the possibilities are endless — and now a new method to duplicate item slots and…
The history of games from well-regarded developer Obsidian Entertainment being buggy is pretty notorious — even outsiders (like myself) know the reputation of games like Fallout: New Vegas and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II. And apparently that status is not merely a product of inadequate time or…
