Although there are a few big games releasing this week, the original Fire Emblem Switch port is probably the most notable: remember, it's going away on March 31, 2021! The other heavy-hitters arriving on the Switch eShop are Fitness Bo...

Happy thanksgiving! It's time for some games. Or not, maybe you already spent all your cash on the Series X or PS5. Or, maybe you just play on Nintendo Switch. Either way, there's stuff. There's always stuff! A surprising amount of stuff ou...

In what has basically become a monthly eulogy series, another Wii U classic bites the dust. Super Mario Maker, cool amiibo costumes and all, is going away. Digitally, at least. Here's the full statement from Nintendo: "From March 31st ...

The time has come! It's another first-party Nintendo game release! Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is out on November 20, serving as a prequel for the beloved modern classic Breath of the Wild. Now that it's finally being unleash...

This week the shining star of the Switch eShop is easily Kingdom Hearts; Melody of Memory, the new rhythm game in a recent line of rhythm romps from Square Enix. Amazingly, the Switch edition is actually getting an extra feature: You c...

We're so close to the next generation: but Nintendo doesn't care! For them, "next-gen" arrived three years ago, but truthfully, Nintendo kind of skates around the idea of "generations" anyway. They do what they do, they (generally) sell a t...

Now that physical rewards are returning to My Nintendo, there's an actual reason to use the service again regularly. The thing is, if you've been neglecting it for a while, you might be logging into zero Platinum Points, which doesn't reall...

Pikmin is back! In Switch form! Alas, Pikmin 3 is the latest game to get an update on the Switch, as Nintendo tries to move every single game possible from the Wii U to their newer, successful system. Not "more successful," mind. Just ...

As we enter winter 2020 for real soon enough, the marquee game on the Switch this week is the very model of a winter wonderland: The Red Lantern. Of course while it is wondrous it's also treacherous, as you'll need to survive the cold with ...

It's a bit of an unconventional week for Nintendo's eShop, as the top game is actually a pseudo-app of sorts! The culprit is none other than Mario Kart Live: the hybrid augmented reality real-life kart toy that allows players to run a machi...

Everyone is packing in the Switch eShop releases for the holidays! It's a huge day today with over 40 games hitting the marketplace: good luck sorting through them all. The marquee releases this time around are I Am Dead, The Survivalists, ...

A first-party Nintendo game is out today! As long as you're okay with battle royales. And micro-eShop games that have limited windows. And...have Switch Online. Wait, come back! Yep, Super Mario Bros. 35 is definitely the headliner tod...

Well, Nintendo did it again: they unleashed a "surprise, it's out!" game. You can now buy Kirby Fighters 2 on Switch (RIP 3DS), alongside of Going Under and Embracelet. Nintendo also reminds us that Rocket League is now free-...

Last week, something weird happened: Nintendo spilled the beans about Hades arriving on Switch today. Shortly after sending out an email stating that it was coming soon, the company sent a retraction, stating that Hades was still ...

[Update: Nintendo has issued a follow-up statement to Destructoid to issue a "correction" for the Hades release date. It is now listed as "fall 2020."] Are you ready for the holiday season yet? If you're not picking up a next-gen syste...

Nintendo did frustrating Nintendo Things last month when it delisted the Wii U version of Pikmin 3 alongside the announcement of the new Pikmin 3 Deluxe for Switch. That's just kind of how Nintendo rolls, though. The same thing ha...

We got a host of announcements from Nintendo this morning: but none of them are coming out this week. In fact, only one of them is coming out this month! For now, we have NBA 2K21 as the big release on September 4, as well as Spellbrea...

Welp, I said that we've had a recent calm on the Nintendo eShop lately, but that's changing today. A number of headline games are launching directly following the recent Mini Direct, including the high-profile remaster of Final Fantasy Crys...

As we move into an uncertain fall for the Nintendo Switch (just announce the Mario re-releases already), we still have plenty of third-party games to get us by. The Nindies Showcase made sure to let us know the score, and for now, there's a...

It's an interesting week for the Nintendo Switch eShop, as a bunch of indies and fighting games are plopping down all at once. The more high-profile indies include Faeria, as well as Linn: Path of Orchards, which have already arrived on PC ...

It's a wacky week for the Nintendo eShop, as we're getting with a "reasonable" 27-ish games debuting over the next several days: which is typically considered a light load when 30-40 games battle each other for sales. Swimsanity is pro...

Nintendo giveth and Nintendo taketh away. This morning's announcement of Pikmin 3 Deluxe Edition on Switch came alongside an unceremonious axing of the last-gen version of the game. Pikmin 3 has been delisted from the Wii U eShop...

Nintendo warned us that things would be getting more low key later this year due to distribution and development issues due to the current global situation: and today is one of those days. There isn't much that's new on the eShop this week,...

The time has finally come...to play Crysis again? Yep, in what is sure to be a very "curious buy release," Crysis is out and remastered on Switch today. Other marquee Switch games include Carrion, Dex and Ageless. Also, don't...

The time has come for another huge first-party Nintendo release: a Mario one no less! Paper Mario: The Origami King is out this Friday, alongside of Neversong, Panzer Paladin and Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. With Paper ...
