One of the lessons I hope to remember from this pandemic is to make the time to interact with others. I fancy myself a loner and have become accustomed to doing most everything without a friend or partner at my side. I go to the movies alon...

Well, tons of DLC is always a given when there's a Smash Direct. On top of Byleth, more Mii outfits are entering the fray for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate soon. That list includes Altaïr from Assassin's Creed, Cuphead, Rabbids,...

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...

Miitomo, Nintendo's first smartphone app, is finally closing shop after a little over two years. The app launched with the promise of making your Mii's more interactive and it barely achieved that. While I had some fun with Miitomo, I could...

There was a time where pretty much everyone I knew was using Miitomo, Nintendo's forgotten first mobile app (it wasn't Super Mario Run!). Then it kind of died off -- which wasn't an isolated incident it seems -- so much so that Nintendo ann...

Oh Miitomo, you were too pure and lacking in engaging content for this world. Less than two years after its debut, Nintendo has confirmed it is ending Miitomo, the once popular but not so much anymore social networking app. Despite pulling ...

In the last issue we looked back at various spooky mythos in video games, PC Gamer's continuing unprofessional attitude towards a plea for help, and the topic of death itself! However, for this issue we'll be mourning the death of the Miive...

I am fond of a video game mashup or two, so I was stoked when I heard 2 Mello (the composer for 2064: Read Only Memories) was releasing a Streets of Rage mashup album this week. When it came out on Tuesday, I downloaded it right away for li...

It's the end of an era, as Nintendo's fun social interaction service, Miiverse, has finally switched out the lights.Miiverse, which launched in 2012 on the Wii U console, then later on the 3DS, allowed players from all over the world to cha...

The 3DS’s days may be numbered, but the plucky little handheld isn’t ready to call it quits just yet. Today it’s seeing the release of two new first-party games in Hey! Pikmin and Miitopia. Both are cute, late-in-the-game ...

Tomodachi Life is one of the strangest games to come out of Nintendo and, when it launched, it became a lightning rod for stupid controversy over the supposed removal of same-sex relationships from the game. A misunderstanding as ...

You know what puts a smile on my face? Watching Joan Rivers dressed as a princess use a big wad of cash to “Zsa-Zsa” a turkey with a face on its butt named “Twerkey.” That’s funny, and it’s just one of th...

I’m several hours into Miitopia, the new RPG for the Nintendo 3DS releasing at the end of the month, but I’m already thinking I should start over. Not because I’ve made any mistakes as that so far is impossible to do. I wa...

After sitting on my 3DS for the past few days, I finally got around to starting up the Miitopia demo. It's a bit of a beefy demo, allowing me to traverse what I assume is much of the first land of the game, powering up my squad to level 6 w...

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...

Ever since consoles began connecting to the internet, choosing an avatar for your online persona has been part of the experience. While prior Nintendo consoles made you create Miis as your online representation, it looks like the Switch wil...

Folks succeeded in tweeting out the Fire Emblem Heroes event 10,000 times, and thus, Nintendo has unlocked a reward for Miitomo -- Lucina's mask. The content is available today, until March 2 at 10:00 PM ET, and all you need to do is log in...

Remember when Nintendo laughed at the idea of coming into the mobile space? Well, now they have three games under their belt. Here's a brief look at the three experiments released so far, all of which take three wildly different approaches.

When I was younger and played through the SNES Final Fantasy games, I would always change the name of characters when I could to fulfill my childhood fantasy going on a grand quest with my heroes, like Phil from Rugrats, Bill Nye from ...

While our Nintendo Direct yesterday for Animal Crossing: New Leaf focused solely on Nintendo's life simulator, Japanese gamers were treated to a short preview for the upcoming Miitopia game. Not a whole lot of details were unveiled, but the...

Are you tired of Miis yet? Nintendo sure hopes you aren't, as Miitopia was announced at the end of today's Nintendo Direct. There are not a lot of known details on what the game will be, apart from it not being another mobile spin-off....

This is...something. Non-English rap has always rung weird to me. It's like that hit Italian song that's meant to sound like hit American music, but the singer is just stringing together nonsense sounds. There's something uncanny about it....

All this time we all kind of assumed Nintendo was blatantly selling all our personal info from Miitomo, but apparently that's not the case -- at least, according to the publisher itself. Responding to a Kotaku article, Nintendo issued the f...

Well, Miitomo took the world by storm for a bit there with millions of downloads, but the honeymoon seems to be over. A lot of people seemed to have skipped out on it, and I've noticed less interaction in general outside of people atte...

When I woke up this morning to an email from my friend that simply said "new My Nintendo rewards!" I almost flipped out. "What could Nintendo possibly have added? More original games like Zelda Picross? More lost DS titles? No, it's just cl...
