Writing a "Top 10 Best 3DS Games" post, in a way, is like writing an obituary for a console. We talk about how long it's been around, the big successes it had in life, and the loved ones it leaves behind. In the case of a gaming device, the...

While Lyle continues to accept art submissions for the abstract concept of politics, here's what's been in video games this past week: Another Nintendo Direct happened! Deadly Premonition 2 is actually happening, what a blessed timeline!...

After a delay, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is now heading to Nintendo Switch on March 20, 2020. During a Nintendo Direct presentation today, we got our best look yet at the cozy island-life game, and after seeing the footage, I have a new...

It has been a near impossiblity for me to log onto Twitter for the past few months without seeing many, many people begging Nintendo for new information on the next Animal Crossing game. Well, today at E3, we got more information,...

It’s no secret Japan has long been trying to destroy us westerners with its unstoppable culture for decades. Whether it's replacing our wives with waifus or cramming our circulatory systems with their nutrient void, sodium-packed inst...

Nintendo will be removing both Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes from Belgian mobile stores by the end of August. In a Tweet from Nintendo of Belgium, the company stated, "Due to the current unclear situation in Belgium re...

Remember Miitomo? Hell, remember Miis, and Miiverse/Swapnote? While Nintendo continues to reference the little-avatars-on-life-support every so often (like ancillary Smash characters or Mario Kart 8 racers) they're nearly dead and...

I never realized how much I missed that classic Animal Crossing experience until just this past week. For more than two months now, I've been putting in time daily into Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp as I've been foolishly pulled in...

Animal Crossing on mobile seemed like a sure bet when Nintendo announced it. The title would serve as the third game in the company’s mobile pillar. The series has a massive casual fan base that can be quite obsessive about it and I t...

Animal Crossing has been on my mind lately thanks in part to an 87-year-old superfan whose charming story has warmed the internet's chilly heart. Earlier this month, game designer Paul Hubans shared a photo of his grandmother's Animal Cross...

If you could will one video game into existence right this minute, what would it be? My gut reaction is to say Death Stranding. I'm dying to know what the heck is going on, but then again... maybe I'm not? The bizarre trailers, the drip-fed...

Fans of Animal Crossing's adorable preppy dog Isabelle have reason to rejoice this month. Not only is she raring to make her debut in next month's highly-anticipated Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but toymakers Good Smile have conveniently ann...

Pokemon can crossover with anything. I mean think about it. If you need an edgy crossover, bam, Mewtwo can come in and shake 'em like a dog with his psychic mind powers. If you need cute: bam, Pokemon has you covered in multiple areas. And ...

After the reveal of Isabelle last week in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nintendo took the predictable route and has released a new arrangement for Animal Crossing. The song in question is the title theme of Happy Home Designer, the spinoff ti...

A proper Animal Crossing on Wii U would, in all honesty, have been a waste of a game. The system constantly struggled in sales and the series has never exactly been a blockbuster when it's been tied to a stationary home console. I...

This week's Nintendo Direct was something of a whopper, opening with a bang in Luigi's Mansion 3 and ending the exact same way when it was revealed Animal Crossing is in development for Switch. I like Animal Crossing, I've purchas...

I should've learned my lesson after the King K. Rool fake-out for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but here I am typing swear words in Slack while being strung along by today's Nintendo Direct. Nintendo very clearly built up a new Animal Crossin...

[Update: The crossover event is live! Players can now partake in a scavenger hunt to earn in-game clothing. Buy Cookie Packs for Splatoon-themed furniture and even partake in a squid fishing tournament. Have fun!]Following on from their rec...

A mysterious tweet showed up yesterday on the official twitter for mobile title Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, that appears to be teasing a possible collaboration with the ink-flinging folk of Nintendo Switch shooter Splatoon.The tweet featu...

Double Fine is always trying something new. The developer regularly invites employees to pitch their game ideas during its annual Amnesia Fortnight events, internal game jams where no idea is too bizarre. Several well-regarded games have re...

Animal Crossing's letter system can feel like something of an enigma at times. The animal townsfolk go so far as to suggest you use proper spelling and correct punctuation, but this doesn't always seem like the key to getting a good reply a...

[While Mother's Day has come and gone, it's never too late to recall childhood-defining moments regarding the person that so fitfully heaved us into this world. Our new friend Adzuken weaves a beautiful tapestry of how gaming with her mothe...

For kids growing up in the ‘90s, it was pretty rare that your parents would ever play video games. Sitcoms had jokes about, “The Nintendos” and media around the time demonized the medium, making it seem like a child’...

It's weird to watch the dichotomy between the DeNA mobile Nintendo realm and the traditional portable and console Nintendo universe we've known for decades play out before our eyes. Although the Big N has slid comfortably into the skin...

The Animal Crossing series is no stranger to crossover content and the mobile spin-off Pocket Camp is soon going to honor Nintendo's biggest franchise. Starting on March 10, you'll be able to nab a bunch of 8-bit inspired Mario items to sho...
