During the Switch 2 Direct earlier this week, Nintendo outlined what it is calling “Switch 2 Enhanced Games” for the new console. As the title suggests, these will be Switch 1 games that feature enhancements for the Switch 2 without being natively developed for the platform. Nintendo Wire currently has…
During today’s Nintendo Treehouse Live stream, Capcom was on hand to showcase some gameplay of Street Fighter 6 running on the Switch 2. While the game is obviously not on par with the visuals for the PC, PlayStation 5, or Xbox Series X versions of the game, it does still…
In a surprising bit of news this morning, Nintendo of America has revealed that the pre-order date for the Switch 2 has been delayed so that the company can assess the impact of the latest round of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. GameSpot was given a statement from the…
If you’re a fan of steelbooks you might want to keep your eyes, and wallet, open for this one coming out of Belgium & the Netherlands. According to GameMania.nl’s Luigi’s Mansion 3 listing, pre-orders for the game will come with a free glow-in-the-dark steelbook. It will seemingly be exclusive to…
Welcome back to the Wire Weekly, where I, Ben “*Kricketune cry*” Fruzzetti, run through the week’s assortment of Nintendo news with what could charitably be referred to as wit, sarcasm, and personality. So. Uh. What happened this week? Pictured: Video Game News. Okay, it wasn’t like nothing happened. Two pretty…
The final fight between Chaos and Order is nearly upon us, and Nintendo has just dropped a Splat Bomb of an announcement. While we knew all the Shifty Stations would be returning and a new one would be along for the ride, it looks like this last stage is getting…
Our weekly Three Houses character roundup took a break last week for E3, but the introductions didn’t! A plethora of new students (and one new adult) have been introduced via the official FE Twitter account, and there’s all replete with introductions and bios. Let’s break it down, shall we? First…
The Fire Emblem: Three Houses main theme is a certificable bop, filled with the same hypercharged lyricism and sweeping hooks as any proper anime opening. And now it’ll be getting a proper CD release… in Japan, at least, where the song has received an official title of フレスベルグの少女～風花雪月～ or Hræsvelgr…
Super Mario Maker 2’s release is nearly here. On June 28th, the creative floodgates will open, with hundreds of thousands of brand new Super Mario Bros. levels to conquer. When a date was finally announced and retailers listed pre-orders for the title, the North American audience was soon envious of…
There are few arcade games I love quite like Space Harrier, with its surreal aesthetic, amazing soundtrack, and fun gameplay loop making it stand the test of time despite first releasing in Japanese arcades back in 1986. Now, the game is heading to Switch as part of Sega Ages, and…
PlatinumGames has been riding high for a bit now, with Nier: Automata’s glowing success (on every current platform save Switch…) and the upcoming releases Astral Chain and Bayonetta 3 (these two exclusive to Switch). They’ve made no secret of a little something they’d like to work on, though, and that’s…
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night hit most major platforms this week, with an imminent Nintendo Switch release on the 25th. The slight delay may end up working out better for the Nintendo faithful, however, as the game’s release has come alongside a nasty game-breaking bug that forces you to restart…
From Mario invading Rabbids to Star Fox barrel rolling through Atlas, Nintendo’s no slouch when it comes to licensing out their franchises to third-party developers. The Legend of Zelda in particular has been around the block a few times, having three mainline entries — Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons,…
Ever wondered if fruit could talk, what wisdom they’d impart? Apples would probably nag us to eat healthier, given their obsession with keeping doctors at bay. Berries would simply blather on about the past thanks to their uncanny ability to ‘member stuff. As for Pineapples… let’s be honest. They’d undoubtedly…
Later this year FuRyu will be bringing its 3DS JRPG The Alliance Alive to current gen systems, including the Nintendo Switch, with a new coat of paint. After announcing a Japanese release date of October 10 a few days ago, a new batch of screenshots and an audio-less video have…
