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…
Astral Chain’s trailer debut during last week’s Direct had me grinnin’, as it marks the return of PlatinumGames to a Nintendo console since Bayonetta 2, their work on Star Fox notwithstanding. While a few things could be gleaned from the trailer in terms of style and gameplay ideas, not much…
The Switch-exclusive Sega Ages series is finally ramping back up, with the Master System’s Alex Kidd in Miracle World getting slated for release in Japan later this week, as reported by Gematsu. Originally released in Japan in 1986, and across the rest of the world in ’87, Alex Kidd in…
Game Informer senior editor Imran Khan has had a busy week in the Nintendo news cycle. Fresh off of crushing Mother fans’ hopes and dreams for the 132,463th time, Khan appeared on Kinda Funny Games on February 13th — the day of the Direct — where he dropped a hot…
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Battle Royale games are all the rage these days. Typically reserved for first and third-person shooters, many were surprised to learn the beloved classic puzzle game Tetris would be entering the fold. I’ll admit I was the first to give it a passing eye-roll. Yet…
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle still stands as one of my favorite fighting games on Switch, what with its crossover nature and simplified, yet rewarding, gameplay. Things have been awfully quiet for it since the announcement at Evo 2018 that it would be receiving a fifth franchise, and the later reveal…
I’ve already called Wargroove one of the best Switch releases of the year so far, and as I’ve started to introduce the game to friends and read up on others’ takes, a few minor quibbles have come up here and there. Thankfully, Chucklefish has been listening and has recently detailed…
We’ve known about Crystal Crisis for what feels like a long time, and we even got a taste of it at PAX West this last year. The competitive puzzle-fighting action of this game that’s bringing characters from corners I’d never have expected is calling to me more and more every…
Another one of Masahiro Sakurai’s fabled Famitsu columns has dropped in weekly Famitsu, offering another round of profound insight and candid humor from one of the most famous Nintendo developers out there. Nintendo Everything has courteously provided the full translation, which we’ve summarized below: Sakurai celebrates Smash’s 20th birthday (which…
While the original Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island is an unmitigated classic, sequels starring everybody’s favorite tax-evading dinosaur have been of disputed quality. From the very simplistic Yoshi’s Story on N64 to the ear-screeching soundtrack of Yoshi’s New Island on 3DS, it wasn’t really until Yoshi’s Woolly World on…
While the initial boom of games has died down, the VR wars of the ’10s are still going, with Oculus, HTC, and Sony all competing for that potentially lucrative virtual reality pie; and while Nintendo has previously stated that they want to stay out of the virtual reality dogfight, a…
