The vehicular warfare is a key part of that world, but what happens if you mix it with another unfair, brutal vehicular combat property? Say something…like Nintendo's Mario[...]

Look, Nintendo do cute very well It's a look that is tried and tested on them that most certainly fits. However if you find Yoshi the cutest of the Nintendo bunch, especially those wool Amiibo versions, you might be in for a bit of an overload This new trailer for Yoshi's Woolly World shows off the[...]

If you'd been expecting hear about the previously announced console Nintendo NX at this year's E3, it might be time to temper your expectations.

Amiibos have been an incredibly popular idea for Nintendo The product has created a real hunger in their consumers, meaning that a lot of the figures can be hard to find.

Baby Park is one of the greatest tracks ever created in Mario Kart. That might sound odd considering the Mario Kart: Double Dash classic is just an oval

Nintendo have always been pretty iffy on including voice chat in their games I had many frustrating nights talking to someone in the Mario Kart 8 lobby only to realise you can't continue your conversation once you are in the race. Perhaps that's why it shouldn't be too surprising that Splatoon isn't going to feature chat[...]

Last week, I shared a video showing off the breakneck speeds of Mario Kart 8's 200cc races. The new mode is part of a free update that will be with us on

The other day, Nintendo opened a submission form where fans could make suggestions about new characters Nintendo should include in upcoming Super Smash Bros DLC In honesty, I can't even fathom how Nintendo are making use of so many suggestions that no doubt belong to property they don't control. Surprisingly, that isn't an issue for Nintendo[...]

Nintendo really should try and supply to demand a little better I understand they are creating an artificial demand, but this is only spawning a market where touts can hog the toys and sell them at a premium. The Amiibo shortage is real With every passing wave we are getting more and more stories of[...]
