This no-nonsense controller is a delightful option for you if you’re after something simple, stylish, and easily portable for all of your fighting game needs. Weighing…
Every Day’s Great At Your Junes! Hello everyone, and great job on making it through another week! It’s felt like a bit of a quiet week in the world of Nintendo, despite the release of Rhythm Heaven Groove and a fairly meaty Splatoon Raiders Direct. Yet all eyes have been on Microsoft and Sony: the…

“not only Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda”. Nintendo designer and legend Shigeru Miyamoto says he wants to expand Nintendo’s IP outside of video games to include “new characters” beyond Mario and Zelda.

Circana’s Mat Piscatella says “Nintendo is going to be Nintendo”. Sony’s announcement this week it would end PlayStation disc-based releases by 2028 has unsurprisingly raised questions about the future of physical games media on other console platforms.
