Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon have looked fairly skippable to me. I had a grand old time in the Alola region, but it's all too recent. Once was enough for the time being. If you're on the fence or missed Sun and Moon the first go ...

If you want in on an "Ash Pikachu" for Pokemon Sun and Moon, you basically have between now and October 30 to get one. There's six in all though all with different expiration dates -- but the catch is that you can only grab one per copy of ...

It's funny to think that of everything the 3DS has going on as of late (Fire Emblem Echoes, Ever Oasis, Samus Returns, and next month's Mario & Luigi), it's the impending Pokémon Gold and Silver eShop releases that are most likel...

Nintendo is about to host a 45-minute long live broadcast "mainly focused on what's headed to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS over the next few months, including new details about Super Mario Odyssey." If you are interested in what's head...

Fire Emblem Heroes has done well for Nintendo. I mean, it's kind of funny that Mario for all intents and purposes failed on the mobile platform as a premium game, but a gashapon gambling free-to-play Fire Emblem game became a hit, but that'...

The latest rare Pokemon -- technically a "mythical" monster, even rarer than a "legendary" -- Marshadow was announced in April, but trainers will finally grab hold of the Ghost/Fighting blob to fill the very last slot in their Pokedexs star...

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Moon are on the way and set for a November release, and The Pokemon Company has been steadily feeding us info until then. As well as a closer look at the new "Dusk" form of Lycanroc, we're also introduced to new costum...

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...

Fire Emblem Warriors isn't in my most anticipated list for this year per se, but I'm keeping one of my eyes on it (it's straining!). I'm a little worried about the ability of the 3DS version to keep up with its console counterpart, but give...

We've been waiting a long while for Dragon Quest XI, but Japanese 3DS/PS4 owners (and importers) will get a chance to try it out very soon on July 29. The Switch version still has an unconfirmed release date, but in the meantime you can wat...

One of my favorite collections has to be my SMT/Persona box (which I just recently added a giant Take Your Heart edition for Persona 5 to that I need to consolidate). It's one of those icebreaker series that's easy to introdu...

In a Nintendo Direct not too far back, a new Pikmin game was announced. Hey! Pikmin is not the reportedly still in development Pikmin 4 but it's pretty cute and looks like a good time. 

The name Hey! Pikmin sounds like someone is trying to get your attention before spreading the good word about cute little trinket-collecting critters. If you've been ignoring their pleas up until now, this overview video from Nintendo cove...

When it was announced that a Japanese Nintendo Direct would air regarding Dragon Quest XI, and "mostly," deal with the 3DS edition, we expected some Switch news. I mean, we haven't seen it in action yet, and although it's slated for 3D...

It was known for quite a while, but it looks like the North American arm of the Nintendo Badge Arcade is no more -- sort of, at least. On June 22 the service will get its last batch of badges, and beyond that there will be no more updates. ...

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...

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...

Bring your 3DS and Pokemon Sun or Moon into a GameStop between May 15 and June 5 to snag a code for a special Midnight Form Lycanroc. The level-50 rock monster features a hidden ability that guarantees all moves -- its own and its opponent...

Super Mario Maker was a fantastic game at launch on Wii U, but it just needed some extra love and care to really be the best it could be. Nintendo sort of kind of obliged with a few content updates and some officially sanctioned levels...

Lady Layton is no more. Well, in name only, as it's still set for a July 20 release in Japan, it's just called Layton’s Mystery Journey now. Originally just set for 3DS on that date in Japan it's now coming to iOS world...
