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…
While they aren’t going to make it in time for any spooky Halloween hijinks, both Resident Evil Revelations games will be scaring up a storm on the Nintendo Switch at the end of next month. That said, Resident Evil is known for having a lighter tone sometimes (looking at you,…

Time to get those fists flyin’ again: the newest ARMS update is now live! Revealed during this year’s Nintendo World Championships, the main attraction of this patch is the addition of Badges to the game. These are simultaneously like other fighting games’ online icons or titles and in-game achievements. When…
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was one of my favorite games to play through this summer, and one of the reasons I loved it so much was that its level of difficulty was pretty spot-on. The game ramped it well over time, with later levels and extra maps offering some…
We’ve known about Fire Emblem Warriors’ three DLC packs since last month, where it was confirmed they’d focus on Shadow Dragon, Fates and Awakening. Now, thanks to the official Japanese website (via Gematsu) we’ve got the specific Japanese release dates, which will likely be universal. Here’s the full list: December…
Nintendo of America released a helpful chart featuring recent and upcoming 3DS and Switch titles on Twitter today.

We learned earlier today that a division of Sony would be publishing turn-based, tactical title Tiny Metal, yet we didn’t know much about the branch itself, other than the fact that its name is Unties. Lucky for us, we didn’t have to wait long to get ahold of more information…
Sonic Forces is pretty dang close to releasing, though it still feels like I haven’t “seen” much of the game. I’ve played it at multiple events and walked away pleased, but it seems only a couple zones have been demoed — whether that was intentional or not, I’m not sure….
We’re only a few days away from the launch of Fire Emblem Warriors for the Nintendo Switch and New 3DS. To build up the hype, Nintendo of America has just released a launch trailer featuring several of the game’s cutscenes. We also get confirmation that a downloadable Japanese language pack…
