I always knew there was a level of dedication to the craft that came with Pokémon TCG’s illustrations, but I didn’t think it resulted in grander artwork coming after multiple sets. As noticed by content creator Pokevault_Chronicles on Instagram, if you assemble nine different cards from five different sets together,…
Just last month, we reported that the Nintendo Switch 2 debuted as the fastest-selling console in US history, with a whopping 1.6 millions units shipped during the month of June. Nintendo has had over 40 years of critically and commercially successful hardware launches, majorly shaping the landscape of gaming culture…
In its ongoing campaign to get everybody buying Razer products, the peripheral manufacturer teased a new product for fans of Pokémon: a pair of Gengar headphones. While not originally announced alongside its new line of products earlier this year, Razer is seemingly continuing its collaboration with The Pokémon Company to…
With the summer season in full swing, it’s high time we all took a vacation. While that isn’t really feasible for most people due to the truly abysmal economy right now, at least we have Splatoon to occupy our time. On the official Splatoon Twitter account, Nintendo announced the next…
The latest entry in the Mario Kart series, Mario Kart World, has just turned two weeks old. There’s a lot that makes this game stand out; from the open world to the soundtrack and more, it’s got something for everyone. Especially when looking at the wide cast of characters, with…
Today’s Nintendo Direct for Donkey Kong Bananza unleashed a ton of information about the game that fills in some of the gaps from its reveal. We now know that Pauline is DK’s sidekick, most of the Kong family is back, and even Rambi will make an appearance. More important to…
With how long the original Nintendo Switch managed to last on store shelves, it should come as no surprise that some of the earliest Switch 2 games were originally designed for the Switch 1. One such is the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, the third installment of Koei Tecmo’s…
Despite having just launched the Switch 2, Nintendo news is pretty dry at the moment. With the summer almost upon us, it seems Nintendo is letting its already massive library of Switch 1 titles do the heavy lifting while it prepares more next-generation experiences. That’s what makes this 16-second teaser…
Look, I have been playing Mario Party for a long time. Longer than nearly any other game series I keep up with. We all know the pain of stars being stolen or a poorly rolled dice block. Yet for some reason, even when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing, its…
Splatoon Raiders was not the only thing Nintendo had up its sleeve this morning. Alongside the new spinoff game, Splatoon 3 will soon be getting a rather major update in the form of patch Version 10.0.0. While there is a metric ton of new stuff coming to the game, the…
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…
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…
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…
With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2 nearly here, the excitement among the gaming community at large is palpable. Not just for the console itself either, as the arrival of the Switch 2 also marks the arrival of the latest and greatest new entry to the Mario Kart series,…
