The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially been unveiled. Nintendo confirmed it comes with 256GB of internal storage, which is eight times more than the original Switch. But here’s the thing: games have never been bigger. AAA titles like Cyberpunk 2077 clock in at a massive 64 gigs. If you’re anything…
No sooner did Nintendo confirm that the Switch 2 utilizies DLSS and will support ray-tracing that Nvidia has now given us a breakdown of the CPU and GPU the console will contain. While there aren’t raw numbers to compare against Nintendo’s rivals, we do know that not only are DLSS…
During yesterday’s Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo spent a surprisingly decent chunk of time describing GameChat, a new system feature that is basically like all of the social features Microsoft introduced to the Xbox 360 20 years ago. It’s charming how old-school Nintendo can be sometimes, but one thing that wasn’t…
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…
For the first time since 2007, the Disaster Report series is heading west, as NIS America has announced it’ll be localizing the recently announced Switch port of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories to North America in early 2020. Watch the announcement trailer below:
