When comparing to the past few years, it’s fair to say that 2024 has been quite slow in terms of Nintendo content. Most of the year’s lineup has been ports and remakes, so needless to say, when rumors start to circle about new games on the horizon, it’s exciting. Notably,…
Raid Hour (also referred to as Legendary Raid Hour) started as an experiment in March 2019. Initially called Legendary Lunch Hour, Niantic set aside an hour on Wednesdays for Pokémon GO Trainers to find 5-Star (Legendary) Raids easier by increasing the appearance rates. After further testing, Raid Hour was renamed…
In 2020 I would have called Hades the rare kind of game that so successfully interweaves its gameplay, narrative, art direction, and voice acting (among other things) that it’d be impossible to single out any one as its strongest element. That’s not to say my opinion on those qualities has…
Metroid Dread is finally here, and one of its signature additions to the series is absolutely terrifying. The E.M.M.I. robots that stalk and threaten Samus at several points across the game manage to flip the script on the galaxy’s premier bounty hunter, turning her into nearly-helpless prey. Your only hope…
Samus returns for her latest 2D adventure in Metroid Dread — the sequel to Metroid Fusion that was 19 years in the making. With any new game (especially a new Metroidvania), you’ll undoubtedly have some questions about how to play. This is where Nintendo Wire comes in! Check out all…
Mario Party’s golden age was back on the N64, and Nintendo knows it. While Super Mario Party made a case for the series’ place on Switch, the next big bash is all about heading back to the past! A new overview trailer has arrived for Mario Party Superstar, detailing its…
Last month we covered NIS America’s trailer for Monark that introduced the protagonists of the upcoming JRPG helmed by various Shin Megami Tensei alumni. Now, we have a trailer instead focusing on the adversaries you’ll face. Give it a watch below: Monark launches for the Nintendo Switch in…
Previously, we saw Capcom asking fans their thoughts on the announcement of Monster Hunter Rise’s upcoming expansion, Sunbreak, and the game’s PC version. As part of that, the topics of both cross-play and cross-save were brought up. These are valuable features that blur the line between platforms, which would ultimately…
As excellent as No More Heroes 3 was, I think it’s fair to say that many fans are still left wanting more from the Garden of Insanity, and with many aspects of the game feeling somewhat incomplete, it has a lot of potential for new downloadable content. As it turns…
Gather ’round the Nintendo Switch, as the next Nintendo Switch Online Game Trials is a fantastic party game! For almost a week, you can try out Jackbox Party Pack 6 for free this month. Nintendo made the announcement today on their official social media channels. PARTY TIME! The Jackbox…
Metroid Dread has been long-awaited, and our collective patience was rewarded with a remarkable game. Anticipation for this title was high, and early sales numbers certainly reflect that. In the UK, Metroid Dread entered the weekly sales chart at number three, just below FIFA 22 and Far Cry 6. According…
Starting today and ending Sunday, October 24th, Best Buy will be distributing code cards that can be redeemed for Dynamax Crystals in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. By simply going to Best Buy store counters, players can pick up a code card for their game for free (no extra purchase…
Over the past few years, Aspyr Media has released multiple Star Wars HD remasters of classic Lucasarts games. Outside of a few Limited Run Games collaborations, these titles had never been officially brought to the physical front of retail stores. However, that’s about to change next month. THQ Nordic and…
It paradoxically feels like so long ago since a 2D Metroid game and yet also like it’s been only a short few years. To an extent, both are true. The franchise hasn’t received a new full-fledged entry since 2002’s Metroid Fusion, but also two remakes in the interim – 2004’s…
I have played many games, but I’ve never played anything quite like Disco Elysium – The Final Cut. Often an RPG will see you take a fresh-faced adventurer into a hero, or develop your stats so you become a supreme combatant. Here instead you’re molding the living embodiment of stale…
