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…
For those of you living under a Thwomp, yesterday was Mar10 Day — that magical time of the year when both fans of overalls and calendar-based puns gather ’round their social media of choice to praise the world’s most respected plumber, Mario! Upon hearing Nintendo NY would be celebrating in…
This coming weekend, Splatoon 2 will be pitting two ancient Classes against each other – the chivalrous Knights and the spell-casting wizards.

Hello, and welcome to Nintendo Wire’s newest ongoing series Wire Weekly, where I, the thoroughly adequate Ben “Not a big fan of A Link to the Past, sorry” Fruzzetti, run down the previous week’s news with varying degrees of flippancy. When my boss Jason Ganos told me he wanted a…
Mario’s a man of many hats, and while most of them help with making him Super, it’s when he’s not out platforming that he does some of his best work. No video game character can stand toe to toe with Mario when it comes to spinoffs in general, let alone…

There’s no day quite like Mar10 when it comes to Nintendo. Not a birthday or an anniversary; instead today celebrates a happy accident of Mr. Video Game himself lining up with the calendar. No complaints here, especially when it leads to great looking illustrations like this one, courtesy of the…
Though it’s not yet time to take up your sword or staff, Splatoon 2’s been updated to Version 4.5.0 ahead of the soon-to-be Splatfest. The bulk of this one is tweaking a whole lot of weapons and sub-weapons, with some specials and gear abilities seeing a little work as well….

IGN, once again muscling their power as the gigante games media company that they are, has gotten their hands on footage from a new stage of Yoshi’s Crafted World titled “Weighing Acorns.” The video showcases both the normal stage and the “flipside” reverse, both of which revolve largely around manipulating…
Not many video game characters can say they’ve got their own day, but if anyone deserves it it’s Mario. The key to this is one of two things: that Nintendo’s plumbing powerhouse has been at it for decades and deserves that recognition, respect, and admiration; or he has a name…
Leave it to Pokémon to drop the most casual of nomenclature changes that would set our collective minds ablaze. Nintendo of America tweeted a fairly innocuous post about Gyms in Pokémon Sword & Shield, stating that Gyms in Galar be “bigger than ever” and casually let slip that the head…
It’s almost here… MAR10 Day! Celebrating Mushroom Kingdom’s finest plumber clad in red and blue, this Sunday will be chock-full of Mario news and goodies.
