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…
The old gaming gods are dead. Once worshipped in ancient arcade altars and offered countless quarters by a loyal congregation of followers, these dark deities preaching scriptures of local competitive play have long since been snuffed out by the celestial light of modern technology. Replaced by the almighty Internet and…
Poor Wii U. While it had a lot of amazing games (The Wonderful 101 needs a sequel), it just never caught on. The same cannot be said for the Switch, however; just last week we reported on 10 million units being sold globally. Now Famitsu has revealed (via Siliconera) that…
Dark Horse announced selections for Free Comic Book Day 2018 yesterday, and they might have you grinning from ear to when you hear about ’em. While “The Legend of Korra” was the first title to catch my eye, my attention was immediately drawn to another title — it looks like…
This month has been filled with small game surprises on Nintendo Switch, with almost every week being jam-packed with indie titles and classic game ports making the system’s library even more appealing. It’s looking like January will keep up the trend, with Team17 announcing the Switch release date for its…
This is part 3 of our ongoing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 review. For further context on our thoughts on the game so far, check out Part 1 and Part 2. Sometimes, we find games that are nearly perfectly crafted, yet we simply don’t seem to resonate with them. Maybe it doesn’t…
As my Switch library’s grown I started to feel like something was missing. Every one of my favorite genres was represented in some way except for one crucial piece: a rhythm game. There were options, sure — and nothing against them — but it wasn’t until Floor Kids threw down…
Square Enix’s upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive Project Octopath Traveler is already shaping up to be a very unique yet nostalgic experience, blending modern lighting and effects with classic pixel art. Even the music seems to be poised to reflect this, keeping the bombastic melodies of classic JRPGs but performed by…
Please understand: This newest edition of the Nintendo Wiretap does not include the video version. The video, however, will return this Wednesday. Look forward to it, and more, this week! Welcome to the Nintendo Wiretap! Each day the team here at Nintendo Wire works tirelessly to bring you the best,…
I’m a huge fan of indie games that attempt to replicate a beloved series or genres. Games like Planet Freedom or Yooka-Laylee reflect the feeling of a bygone era for fans who want to relive some of their favorite, yet obsolete experiences. Other indie games, like Skullgirls, are made by…
This should come as no surprise, given how long it takes to make Zelda games, but in the brand new Master Works book for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, series producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed that the next Zelda game is currently in development. Work on Breath of…
A few days ago, we learned that Dragon Quest Builders would be launching on the Nintendo Switch in Japan on February 1st — and now, thanks to Nintendo of America, we have a solid release date for North America as well. Dragon Quest Builders will be launching in North America…
Bandai Namco has slowly but surely started supporting the Switch, with the likes of Namco Museum earlier this year giving people portable arcade classics and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 being the first of what will hopefully be many ports. Now, a modern-classic game has been announced for a release on…
