Now we're talking! There was a huge slump from mid-December through now, but Nintendo, like the rest of the industry, is kicking into high(ish) gear starting this week. The big draw is Tokyo Mirage Sessions FE Encore, which arrives tom...

The eShop, like most digital games marketplaces, is bursting at the seams with junk that no one wants. When Nintendo discounts hundreds of Switch games at a time, those numbers are naturally inflated by the bargain bin duds that need to be ...

After a huge Pokemon info dump this morning, it's back to business as usual for the eShop. Those Sword and Shield expansions aren't coming until later this year, but for now you have a ton of Atelier games to sift through as ...

Ignorance is bliss. I'm perfectly happy not knowing how old my brain is, thank you very much. But maybe you're curious, or you're just in the mood for a pleasant little mental warmup. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training is back this week &n...

If you thought last week was a chill period for the eShop, you ain't seen nothin' yet. This week Nintendo and pretty much everyone else is biding their time to get through the holiday season after every already spent their pre-holiday cash ...

Type-MOON's Fate franchise is a many-headed beast, but it's not all Holy Grail Wars and gacha hellscapes. Sometimes it's just a bunch of superpowered friends gathering for a nice meal. That's the premise of Today's Menu for the Emiya F...

The latest sale on the Nintendo Switch eShop is all about quality, not quantity. A dozen of the "best-selling indie games of 2019" are running deals until December 28, 2019 at 11:59pm Pacific. Nintendo even put together a highlight reel und...

In what is easily one of the most (understandably) barebones eShop release weeks to date, there's very few actual games being released on Switch, and none on other platforms. The highlight is easily the arrival of two more games in the ...

When Nintendo first entered the fray of online storefronts with the Wii Shop Channel, you were lucky to get one great game a month on the service. The scarcity of high-profile, critically acclaimed titles helped standouts like World of Goo,...

We've reached the end of the line. The December rush is over, and now we're getting a ton of shovelware as all of the really big games have come out already in the hopes of becoming Christmas presents. Smartly, a few of the really obscure g...

The Game Awards are tonight, and 16 games – some nominees for 2019, some winners from prior years, and some that are just plain good – have banded together for a Nintendo Switch eShop sale. It's a chance to not only talk up Gris...

We've done it. We've reached the last batch of eShop releases before the end of the year, as only a few more indies are being pushed out after everyone already spent their holiday cash. Shovel Knight: King of Cards was the highlight la...

This is it, don't get scared now. 2019 is coming to an end. Oh no! At least we have a ton of amazing things lined up for 2020, as well as two new console launches (PS4/Scarlett). It's going to be a crazy year. For now, we have to wrap up th...

Nintendo kept us waiting, huh? The annual eShop Cyber Deals are back just in time for Black Friday. The North American list is light as far as new first-party Nintendo games are concerned, but plenty of people are just now buying a Switch f...

We've officially reached the winter lull. Most of the big games that are going to be released in 2019 are out, with the exception of a few (on Switch, it's basically just Shovel Knight's last pair of expansions). There are a few notable add...

Nintendo kind of went all-out last week with Pokemon Sword and Shield, which are already selling incredibly well. As a result a little bit of a lull: a pre-holiday cooldown period, if you will, is in order. You see pretty much every major r...

This week all eyes are on Pokemon Sword & Shield, as actual hands-on gameplay will ultimately decide the fate of this generation: not leaks. Both games are arriving separately of course, but there's also a Double Pack, and the special S...

The big one today is Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy Deluxe Edition, a Switch port of a mobile game that continued the Layton tale with his daughter in charge. The Switch is getting a few more heavy...

It's becoming harder and harder to stick out on the Switch eShop. As we've seen in the last year or so, it was the mission of the top dogs at Nintendo to get roughly 30 or more eShop games listed each week, and they've been following throug...

Luigi's Mansion 3 is clearly the big release today, on this spookiest of days. As for the other big marquee eShop titles: Just Dance 2020 and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 are out on November 5, ...

Another month, another set of questionable to serviceable ports on Switch. Resident Evil 5 and 6 are rolling onto the platform with potentially lingering demo performance issues, which are hopefully resolved at some point. They are joi...

There's been little to no fanfare for Little Town Hero, a new Game Freak RPG that's coming exclusively to Switch today, but hey, it's coming out at least! It's priced at $24.99. Also on Switch this coming week is indie darling Return of the...

Later this morning, Nintendo will drop a glut of new info on its highly-anticipated Switch releases Pokémon Sword & Shield. But it seems some image scans, recently uploaded to Spanish twitter account Centro Pokémon, have r...

I can't pretend to fully understand the deep-seated fascination with video game file sizes (excluding monstrously large games and a few other exceptions), but here we go again. Got a fresh one for ya! If you're thinking of hitting up Pok&ea...

It's port week for the Switch! Overwatch and The Witcher 3 are the big ones, but Killer Queen is also getting ported from the popular arcade format to Switch. Also on the eShop this week: Little Town Hero (October 16), A...
