Nintendo's E3 Digital Event was somewhat lackluster this year, but where the game content wasn't thrilling, the puppets they used in between announcements were charming. There is something indicative of Nintendo and how odd yet wonderful they are about how they had Jim Henson Studios create puppet versions of the companies Business executives I don't know[...]

It was pitched with several assets, but Nintendo decided against it due to the violence Still, the footage has surfaced and I think it looks pretty cool I'd have played this no doubt. https://youtu.be/kkWjM0V5dW4Video can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Super Mario Spikers – Unseen64 (https://youtu.be/kkWjM0V5dW4)   [...]

A few months ago, Nintendo announced the NX, but everything since then has been about them dodging questions on the console E3 passed without even an official mention of the prospective hardware and we are no closer to really knowing what it is yet. That silence might make you wonder why Nintendo decided to talk about it[...]

It really helped define the Nintendo 64 and it lives long in the memory of fans even to this day. For people in Europe, it looks like there is going to be a new way to play it Nintendo of Europe tweeted out that the game will be available on the Wii U Virtual Console No[...]

While it wasn't the Zelda Wii U game everyone wanted, during E3 Nintendo showed off a new 3DS game, Zelda: Tri Force Heroes The game has come under fire by proxy of simply not being Zelda Wii U, but honestly, I've heard great things. Everyone who played the game on the show floor came away kind[...]

Return to form, baby! Obviously it's because we talk about E3 this week covering the conferences, news, announcements, surprises, and all that jazz. We are joined by Ryan "Wood" Underwood for the show as we discuss and grade the events! Bethesda, Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, Sony, and Nintendo all get discussed and we give our schoolhouse grades[...]

Splatoon is just a great time. The game has really taken off in ways I didn't expect, and the pretty persistent marketing campaign means that the game has

The Mario creator has been the face of Nintendo for a long, long time and his contributions to video game are pretty much unrivalled. He was out at E3 this week showing off Nintendo's wares, and in doing so, stopped off by NPR for an interview In it, he interestingly opened up about the lackluster sales[...]

Nintendo were probably the first major game publisher to jump onto the VR wagon back in 1994 with the famous VirtualBoy That was an absolute mess of a console, but it showed the company getting behind virtual reality in a big way. It seems they've changed its tune in the ensuing 21 years, mind Nintendo of[...]

By Phil Harris Nintendo was by far the most entertaining outing of last year and this years outing started with an equal degree of fun One of the reasons is they now do their press launch by pre-recorded video and can add a good deal of production value to the presentation, which makes good sense in[...]

Star Fox is probably one of the only series I get genuinely nostalgic about so the fact that we now have seen the long awaited Star Fox Wii U game has me

I caught a little of the Nintendo World Championships today, and it seemed like a really fun little event The Mario Marker final match was great watching and the whole event seemed like a great, new thing for E3 I hope happens every year. I just thought I'd share this great little section of the stream[...]

Nintendo have shown previously that they like to add characters from third parties into the game, famously having featured Metal Gear Solid's Snake in the past. Well, the fighter's inclusion into Super Smash Brothers has now been confirmed During the smash specific Nintendo Direct this morning, the character was announced with a new trailer. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kalsCPXfaQ[/youtube] Alongside that, it[...]

The game released to a lot of fanfare and acted as the icing of the cake of a great year for Nintendo. If you've been playing solidly since then though, you probably want something else to do Well, how about a new character to learn? As previously announced, EarthBound's Lucas is going to be joining the[...]

Here is my story. When Amiibos were first announced by Nintendo, they announced a handful of characters from the Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS games They'd release a couple of the more popular and unique characters and if it went well, they'd release more, with the potential to have other series follow down[...]

They can be truly wince inducing. But hey! Let's take a look and see what they look like in the bright and colourful world of Nintendo YouTube user Sterling decided the cut together footage from Smash Brothers with the Mortal Kombat X-Ray shots so we can really see Ganondorf break people's skulls like we always knew[...]

Well that was fast. Yesterday I reported that Nintendo's next console, codenamed the NX, was rumoured to be running on an Android OS, as per an article by Japanese outlet Nikkei. Nintendo did not hang around when it came to letting that rumour roll around When talking to The Wall Street Journal, a Nintnedo spokesperson said quite[...]

As of right now, we don't really know what Nintendo's next console, codenamed NX, is going to look like There has been a lot of speculation that it will be a console/mobile hybrid, but right now, it remains just that Speculation. Well, here is a little more to add onto the pile Japanese outlet Nikkei are[...]

Mario and Sonic are going to be fighting it out for gold medals once again in one of the bizarrest crossover franchises that refuses to die. The game was announced during the Japanese Nintendo Direct that showed today It was noted that both Golf and Rugby would be making an appearance in next year games, which[...]

The franchise sales like gangbusters in the East though, which is why in today's Japan only Nintendo Direct, the announcement that Monster Hunter X is coming for the 3DS has been huge The game is slated to come out in Japan in Winter 2015, but there was no mention of a western release yet though[...]

I get this is geared towards younger audiences, but that doesn't need to be dumbed down. I'm sure Nintendo will find that balance, but it's worth keeping an eye on Take a look here: [youtube]https://youtu.be/WO85gqHWMxg[/youtube]   Yoshi's Woolly World is shaping up to be quite cute little platformer The art direction looks gorgeous and designing a game to[...]

So we've all been out enjoying Mad Max: Fury Road right? It's great, no? If you still haven't seen it you should rectify that as soon as possible. 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. As translated by Kotaku, during an investors meeting, Nintendo's president Satoru Iwata gave an update on the when we can expect to hear about the new console. We do not plan on talking specifics about[...]

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. We have some numbers now to paint the context of this picture In a finical report, Nintendo announced that it had shipped around 10.5 Million[...]

It has kind of ruined Nintendo's toy-to-life line for the people it was probably originally meant for, the kids. Well, Nintendo have acknowledged that fact now and promised to supply to demand a little better from now on In a statement on their Facebook page, the company said: We appreciate the enthusiasm that our fans continue to[...]

Hilary Clinton recently decided to run for President in the 2016 US election. Here is a nice bit of trivia regarding the would be Commander-in-Chief. Did

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
