Nintendo Music App Adds Tracks from Two Hit Titles

Taylor Bauer — Tue, 03 Dec 2024 18:00:39 +0000

The news that Nintendo was launching its own app for the music featured in its franchises wasn’t exactly what fans hoped to hear this past fall. Sure, a new console announcement might have been a bit more exciting, but the Nintendo Music app is certainly something that Nintendo fans will explore. The app has added game music from a few titles since launch, on top of its already fairly expansive…

Super Mario Party Jamboree (Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Fri, 01 Nov 2024 15:00:45 +0000

Nintendo’s long history means there are certain series central to the company’s history that I haven’t played from the start. Mario Party, however, is a series I’ve played and loved for years. Okay, and sometimes I’ve hated it. It’s not just the cutthroat gameplay that has left a sour taste in my mouth, but Nintendo’s lack of capitalizing on the best video game board game in some of its past…

Nintendo’s announcement of new hardware in 2024 should be a reason to jump for joy. If you need help waking up in the morning, you might still be pleased with the latest announcement from the company. That said, if you’re waiting for a Switch 2 announcement, keep waiting. Nintendo has announced Alarmo, an interactive alarm clock designed to add some Nintendo charm to your home and daily routine.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Switch) Review

Alexx Aplin — Mon, 29 Jul 2024 17:00:17 +0000

All is right in the world. Okay, that’s a lie, the world is kind of a mess right now. However, my Nintendo Switch library is exactly as it should be. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the return of one of my favorite games of all time, and it is absolutely magical. In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, you play as Mario (surprise) along with a cast of characters who join him along his…

Keiran McEwen — Wed, 22 May 2024 15:00:17 +0000

Remember when I said a few weeks ago that Embracer wasn’t done selling off bits of the business and doing the cost-cutting measures the last several months have seen? I think it is time to turn out the Jeremy Clarkson gif from the Top Gear Burma special because it is time for my smug face. Announced yesterday by Nintendo, the Japanese console, development, and publishing powerhouse is set to bring…

Endless Ocean Luminous (Switch) Review

Taylor Bauer — Thu, 16 May 2024 16:00:41 +0000

In 2008, the Wii was really picking up steam in the United States, and a lot of diverse titles were hitting the shelves for the console. One such game was a scuba diving adventure that served as the spiritual successor to the PS2 Capcom game Everblue. Endless Ocean provided players with a vast underwater space to explore, and a sequel in 2010 did the same. Now, we have a return to the deep blue…

The Switch 2 Was Quietly Confirmed

Keiran McEwen — Tue, 07 May 2024 14:00:17 +0000

It goes almost without saying that many fans of the Nintendo Switch are most excited about a new console being announced rather than another new game. Well, in the most blasé way possible for a console announcement, I think Nintendo takes the reward after last night/early this morning’s tweet. Put quite simply, the Switch 2 has been announced with all the fanfare of the death of a celebrity in…
