Nintendo did a pretty solid job of expanding the rather basic launch of Splatoon with some DLC throughout 2015. While it may have been on-disc, all of it was free and it worked in a way to keep players engaged with the title over a longer p...   read

Similar to how Super Mario Galaxy handled multiplayer, Super Mario Odyssey will feature a co-op mode that lets player two take control of Cappy, Mario's now sentient hat. When active, Cappy will float around the environment separate of Mari...   read

Nintendo has a big week ahead of it as Arms is finally hitting the Switch. Mighty Gunvolt Burst also arrives on the eShop, in addition to Cave Story+ (on June 20) and NeoGeo Sengoku. The 3DS version of Mighty Gunvolt Burst&nb...   read

The guys at E3 aren't the only ones who can have some fun with not yet released Nintendo games. If you log onto the 3DS eShop right now, you can nab a Miitopia demo to try out the quirky JRPG staring your Miis! I've loved the idea after see...   read

Nintendo isn't done with the 3DS just yet! In addition to Metroid: Samus Returns, it looks like Nintendo has a brand new IP coming to the platform. Sushi Striker: The Way of Sushido was revealed during the Treehouse stream today and the tra...   read

[Update: According to the official Monster Hunter Twitter account, Capcom has stated that, "We have not announced any plans to localize MHXX at this time." Whether that means it could still happen or not remains to be seen, but its bizarre ...   read

Nintendo held their E3 Spotlight conference yesterday, which went off without a hitch in less than 30 minutes. But not many people expected so many reveals afterward from the Treehouse segment, much less a brand new 2D Metroid. Alas Mercury...   read

Leading up to E3, there were no major new game releases, though I'm sure Shiro to Kuro no Alice is major to someone. Thus the top spots are filled by the usual suspects: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Tekken 7, and Monster Hunter XX. Mario Kart ...   read

I wanted to give you fine people a proper, fleshed-out preview of Fire Emblem Warriors, but I wanted to play Super Mario Odyssey even more, and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle also tempted me with its XCOM-lite leanings. One hour with Ninten...   read

Some folks don't mind the Rabbids and, in fact, actually enjoy the hyperactive goofballs. That's not me. Not in this life! I'd rather they do their thing, and I do mine. But I'll be damned if Ubisoft hasn't come up with something compelling...   read

When Metroid Prime 4 was announced earlier today during the Nintendo E3 Spotlight, I naturally assumed it was Retro Studios' big project it has allegedly been working on since the launch of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. Turns o...   read

Not content with simply making the best third party controller for the Nintendo Switch (and other systems), 8bitdo has announced a few new products to aide gamers in their quest for an actual d-pad on Nintendo's portable console. Along with...   read

This brings the total count to 13. At the tail end of their Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions stream, Nintendo showed off two new amiibo -- the Koopa Troopa and Goomba, that will presumably launch alongside of the gam...   read

I can get used to all of these great announcements rolling out all day from Nintendo. Direct from the Treehouse stream, the Big N showcased Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions for the 3DS. It's It's a remake of the...   read

Amidst the chaos of Sony's E3 conference, Wayforward let loose the reveal trailer for the upcoming DLC expansion to Shantae: Half-Genie Hero called Pirate Queen's Quest. It looks like the story will run parallel to the events of the main ga...   read

This is just too much. Yet another amiibo reveal just happened on the Nintendo E3 Treehouse show -- two more figures for Fire Emblem Warriors. As you can probably tell it's Chrom and Tiki, which will both interface with the upcoming Koei Te...   read

Nintendo had more new games than you'd expect, eh? Kirby, Yoshi, Metroid -- most of Nintendo's big names seem like they'll have a Switch title not long after the console releases. Didn't really expect that much fire out of a 30-minute video...   read

Uh, it's officially amiibo day. In all we got confirmation of nine amiibo (four for Breath of the Wild, three for Mario Odyssey, and now, two for Metroid: Samus Returns). One is a "squishy" amiibo of the titular creature, and another i...   read

[Update: The lead developer of AM2R has responded to the announcement.] Nintendo wasn't kidding when it said it had more "surprises" after their big Spotlight presentation. In addition to three new amiibo, they also showed off Metroid:...   read

Did Nintendo do it, along with Ubisoft? Did it 'co-win' (not that it's necessarily possible) E3? We'll see when the poll dust settles later today and we report back tomorrow with our findings. In the meantime, I'm leaning toward giving it t...   read

These gorgeous "wedding themed" amiibo are going to arrive around the same time as Super Mario Odyssey, which now has an October release date. Revealed by way of the Treehouse stream after their E3 Spotlight, the game's producer stated...   read

Nintendo showed off more concrete footage of Super Mario Odyssey and it looks stellar. Not only is there a friggin T-rex in the game, but Mario can apparently control different creatures by throwing his hat at them. You can become one of th...   read

A new set of four amiibo characters from Zelda: Breath of the Wild have been announced and they're also compatible with the upcoming new DLC for the game. The new Breath of the Wild amiibo are based off of Daruk, Mipha, Revali, and Urbosa. ...   read

Yoshi isn't made of yarn like in Woolly World for his next appearance, but the areas still have that diorama look, as if they were built out of found materials. It looks like the next Yoshi game will feature two-player cooperative play...   read

We finally got a first look at Breath of the Wild's DLC. The first pack, The Masters Trials is coming June 30, while the second pack, The Champions Ballad, is dated for Holiday 2017. They are only available if you buy the Expansion Pa...   read
