When the $20-per-year Nintendo Switch Online service launches in the second half of September, subscribers will be able to play classic NES games like Super Mario Bros. 3 with added online play. If you were curious about what that might loo...

If you haven't heard of Mega Cat Studios yet, they bill themselves as an independent studio with a global team -- but most importantly, they make new NES games. Log Jammers is probably their most well known project at the moment, but they'v...

Three more 3DS titles have joined the Nintendo Selects library. As of this weekend, you'll be able to find Super Mario 3D Land, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Ultimate NES Remix for $20 a piece. That reduced pricing covers ...

True to its word, Nintendo is working to provide supply of these two highly sought-after classic consoles. While SNES Classic shipments were scheduled to end by the end of 2017, now they will continue well into 2018 due to "incredible deman...

To an extent, I can kinda forgive Ubisoft's Ivory Tower team for not including these two States...

Although F-Zero and a few other storied Nintendo series can't catch a break, Kirby is always there. Whether it's a console iteration or a portable jaunt you can always count on the fluff ball to appear, and Nintendo always support...

Right off the bat, I typically don’t like clone consoles. I’m a total retro snob for the most part; not a collector but extremely picky about the accuracy of my old games. A couple of years ago I had to sell the majority of my c...

For 20 years, a Nintendo Entertainment System was rotting in a barn in Kentucky. This is the story of how one man saved it. Okay it's not that dramatic, but you get the picture. Anyone who is remotely interested in fixer upper videos should...

You'd think that after playing World of Warcraft for nearly 13 years I'd be tired of it, but I'm still plugging away at the Legion expansion. I'd also happily give this NES demake a go, if it were real that is. YouTube channel Rkade Soup re...

One of my favorite conversation starters among friends is how they feel about legacy systems like the NES. In my experience, you'll run the entire gamut, from older folks who hated retro games to younger players who absolutely love the clas...

Some of the best Virtual Reality games are also the most simple, and it doesn't get much simpler than NES launch title Duck Hunt. You have a gun, your dog flushes out ducks, you shoot them. It's simple. To the point. Easy to understand. It'...

Video games are a young industry, and the entire history of the medium fits into the space of just a few decades. Even though the industry at large always seems to be focused on the Next Big Thing, there are a few who are committed to prese...

Contra (or Probotector, depending on what part of the world you hail from) was one of the Nintendo Entertainment System's most iconic games, one that strongly resonates with people who grew up with it even today. The series just celebr...

When I first got wind of the Analogue Nt mini, I immediately went into shock after seeing the price. $450 for an NES re-creation? I had to find out if it was worth the scratch. While many of you will probably never be able to justify the co...

The NES Classic is a decadent, but fantastic piece of hardware for collectors. If you can find one. In its 2016 fiscal year report, Nintendo brought us up to speed with how the 'lil guy was doing, and it turns out that it sold quite well. T...

Nintendo has had a "shortage" problem for years in the US. The company did it with the Wii. It did with with every single special edition they've ever made, from systems to games (remember Fire Emblem Fates, and how that single cartridge so...

Third party hardware manufacturers have been chomping at the bit to peddle their NES Classic wares, and you know what? I don't blame them. With how horribly Nintendo has handled the distribution in North America, you'd be hard-pressed to fi...

You might want to act now (and call the store to make sure you're not making a trip out to Rockefeller Plaza for nothing), but according to Nintendo's official Twitter account, they have some NES Classics in stock in their NYC retail locati...

Nyko recently sent me a few samples for its NES Classic line of products, and I'm really glad it did, because the on-board solution Nintendo gave us is pretty bad. While I adore the Classic itself as a piece of hardware, the whole situation...

Pretty much any kid who grew up in the '80s or '90s remembers writing down notes, manually, in a pad of paper. Whether it was puzzle solutions for later playthroughs or maps to get through a tricky dungeon, before GameFAQs and video walkthr...

Hopefully it's not too late when you read this, but we just found out that the NES Classic edition should be available at GameStop stores starting on Thursday, December 15. The report comes from an image shared on the Cheap Ass Gamer Twitte...

Nintendo's NES Classic Edition has been THE must-have toy for the holidays this year, and it's been sold out pretty much everywhere since it released on November 11. Much like the early days of the Wii, the consoles are going for up to five...

It has gotten to the point where CNBC is talking to Toys"R"Us about NES Classic stock. Nintendo of America, you done screwed up! Straight from the horse's (or rep's) mouth: "On Sunday, we're launching our Great Big Christmas Sale (Dec. 4 th...

This is an odd tip, but a tip nonetheless. The NES Classic Edition sold out basically everywhere online in minutes leading up to its launch last Friday, at which point, it sold out again in mere seconds after retail stores opened their door...

Not since the days of amiibo-mania have we seen a Nintendo product that's in as high demand and as low stock as the NES Classic currently is. The miniature console released today and it seems as if most stores sold out immediately. It's mos...

The NES Classic is one of the more sought-after holiday items this year, and it has been relatively difficult to secure days before its launch. A few retailers held brief pre-order periods, but anyone who didn't get in on those is left hopi...
