Amiibo have been, 'arguably' pretty kind to consumers, at least in terms of the content they gate in Nintendo games Most of the time you buy a character you like just to have it and then you get a pixel skin, or some other kind of little perk alongside in game The key though is[...]

The problem many talented creators face once their work becomes loved, is that time goes on and changes are made, your fandom becomes more demanding and

Not only do Amiibos give you a new character to turn Mario into, but Nintendo have periodically given players free characters to add. Well, three dropped over Christmas and in the upcoming days in the form of Captain Toad, Birdo and Excitebike Each can be used as a mushroom reward to add a little customisation to[...]

It uses an archaic number system that needs to be passed around, and it makes for a hassle to find what you want. Nintendo have alleviated this concern somewhat by launching this site that allows you to find courses on the fly You can even search by tags and the like, which does make the process[...]

Ever since The Nintendo NX was first talked about earlier this year, we have heard next to nothing about what the console is, at least officially. While we still have no official word, how about official word on what it isn't Speaking to Time, Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima said that the console won't be an add[...]

Details about the Nintendo NX have been pretty scarce since we found out about the console earlier this year There have been rumours flying around that the console will launch this year, but they have remained just that Rumours. However, here is another one to throw on the pile Digitime have reported that suppliers expects between[...]

They really are gorgeous and capture Ghibli pretty faithfully.   This has of course sent people's minds dreaming about the possibility of the a collaboration between both parties, but I am going to say that that is as likely to happen as Nintendo releasing another Zelda game on the GameCube. Here is an idea Mix[...]

Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool… In a case that was decided on by a specialist intellectual property court in Milan, this is the first time that a Member State court has applied the guidance of Europe's highest court. If that wasn't enough jargon for you, then hold onto your hats, because the official word is that: Nintendo[...]

I'm quite conflicted about Star Fox Zero. The franchise really is one of the few I allow myself to get a little nostalgic about, but having played the

Ryu is going to be a hell of a fun character to add to Super Smash Bros. Bringing in a rather famous character from an iconic fighting game is going to be

Adam Cook writes for Bleeding Cool… You've got to hand it to Nintendo, they've supported Splatoon well, even if it took some time to fully get going. That there will be new stages, including a museum that showcases some of the world's art off It is also adding the Mahi-Mahi Resort which looks like some kind of[...]

Nintendo's venture into mobile is yet been defined We know about the first app the developer will be pushing out, Miitomo in March, but until that happens, we don't really know what this means for the mobile space or Nintendo. One thing we do know for sure now though is that the company is planning to[...]

Since the sad passing of Satoru Iwata, Nintendo Direct has been absent The little mini-conferences that Nintendo do throughout the year are a really neat way to do reveals, but we haven't gotten one since E3. That absence is coming to a close soon, as it has been announced by Nintendo that a new Direct will[...]

So remember that PlayStation Nintendo I wrote about a few months ago?

The reveal of Samus being a woman still as relevance today, and the game is certainly a Nintendo fan favourite I totally 'get' the attraction. Well, this new 'fan' film based on the game is pretty stellar It features Nerdist's Jessica Chobot as Samus and is put together by director Sal Balcomb It's stellar work for[...]

In a lot of cases, more or less by sheer man power, the audience might well be creating better designed levels than the actual creators with the tools. Rather than be intimidated by that, Nintendo producer Takashi Tezuka has said that seeing the community's ideas has been inspirational and is bringing the developers to work harder[...]
