For a bit, it's like 2025 again (complimentary).

Nintendo has revealed their plans for capitalism's greatest orgy, Black Friday.

Digital sales will begin on November 19 and run until December 2, while physical sales will run from the 22nd to December 5th. Digital items are TBD, but the Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle will be available for... Read more...

That is ALL of the Hylian rupees.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set records for sales when it came out and nearly three decades later, its remake is doing the same thing.

Nintendo has issued a corporate release confirming the November 5 release has sold over 5.2m units worldwide in its opening four day weekend, with 810,000... Read more...

Dom Turetto approves of the gifting feature this time.

Switch 2 and Switch have a new system software update that will bring back a feature for the first time since the Wii Shop's closure.

The 23.5 update patch notes include the groundwork for an eShop update due next week that will re-enable gifting of eShop games. Unlike when the function was present on the Wii, the Switch 2 and Switch versions will be limited to users within the same Nintendo Switch Online family group.

I believe there should be a constitutional amendment to ban Astroturf, two points for a win in regulation, and shiny locking Pokemon.

There was some suspicion that the Switch 2 release of Metaphor: Refantazio would be the top game of this week, but it turned out that a surprise candidate had more votes in early voting than Metaphor got overall. The Switch 2 edition of 2023 Game of the Year Pikmin 4 gets the top slot not only for... Read more...

Here we have the first post-price increase (worldwide) earnings.

Nintendo has released their financial results for the second quarter (July to September) of their 2026-27 fiscal year, which were the first before price increases due to component costs took effect, and this is shown in their financial results.

All figures quoted in yen with a US$1 = ¥158.284 rate used to provide US$ figures for comparison only.

The News Editor is going to stick a sword in an AI data center and abscond with all the RAM, graphics cards, etc in revenge for last week.

So for those in North America who missed Titanium Court or Mouthwashing last week, it's probably because it was buried (especially on Switch 2) under a combined one hundred and twenty six releases - a record 96 on Switch, and a record 30 on Switch 2. So the eShop is currently going through a minor... Read more...

They probably could have gone for the 7th, it's not like there's a franchise using that day anymore.

Nintendo is apparently big enough to declare their own holidays.

According to a video released on Nintendo's YouTube channel today, November 1 will be "Pikmin Day" going forward. The video also contained some series announcements:

Among those who saw this coming this late in 2026 were the now thankfully retired CB Bucknor.

Although it was becoming clearer on a daily basis, it's now official: The Duskbloods is a 2027 game.

From Software have confirmed the delay for the Switch 2-exclusive action RPG today after it being announced for 2026 in the Switch 2 unveiling Direct from April 2025. The delay allows for what was called "final adjustments to game rules and balancing".

Good news: Release dates for long-hyped game. Bad news: At least one dev is hiding AI coding use.

In addition to the games with demos, the Indie World presentation highlighted xx games:

Taste the future.

Today's Indie World was a little light on shadow drops, but it had several demos for upcoming games. Here's everything you can check out today on Switch or Switch 2.

Winds of Viridia A 3D action platformer with nice cell shaded graphics and real time combat. The full game is coming to Switch 2 in 2027.

May the shadowdrops be bangers.

The world of indie games is getting some love from Nintendo again.

The Nintendo Today app has confirmed an Indie World presentation will air tomorrow at 10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT, and 11:30 in Newfoundland: the presentation will run for approximately 15 minutes.

Indie World last ran in March and included the Switch 2 release of Blue Prince and action title Minishoot Adventures.

Y'all ever see a lineup so big you are forced to immediately go to sleep after posting it?

It's Sickos Week here in the Downloads, and not just because the new post-launch record high of confirmed Switch 2 launches and overstuffed Switch week made the news editor physically ill. The two unquestioned big games of the week are both Switch releases for PC cult hits in the indescribable Titanium... Read more...

By popular demand of the other games writer from Halifax, Nova Scotia: are we going to get a Genesis update soon?

A trio of classic Game Boy titles will be added to the library for basic Nintendo Switch Online subscribers on Tuesday (Monday in North America), joining the GBA update earlier this month for subscribers to the Expansion Pack.

Having finally dealt with simulated gambling in Balatro, PEGI turns their eye on free to play and gacha.

Europe's game rating authority PEGI is turning up the heat on gacha games beyond Belgium outright banning some of them.

Five Nintendo or Nintendo-adjacent games now show a PEGI age rating of 16 in European app stores: Fire Emblem Heroes (character gacha), the now-closed Mario Kart Tour (character... Read more...

This week from the war crimes company: war crimes!

In terms of octane of releases, there's two flagrant outliers this week: the first Call of Duty game on a Nintendo system since the last one I played in Ghosts, and the newest game in Nintendo's wide Sports series (of which I believe Wii Sports has outsold each individual entry in the CoD series)....

And it's not like every other Monster Hunter demo you may have seen.

The next demo up after Metaphor: Refantazio is going to be an interesting test of the Switch 2.

Capcom have confirmed a "prologue" demo for the Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds will be available starting on October 19. The demo is expected to be equal in content to the demo on the other platforms Wilds is on (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series), with no online play but local multiplayer.

Because Kalla knows this game didn't have enough stuff to do in it.

The inevitable Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave expansion pass got its details - and a launch - tonight.

The pass is now available on the system eShop for US$34.99 or equivalent and will come with three waves of content.

Featuring intentionally watered down drinks, no doubt. Bond is a spy.

The date's the 18th. March 18.

Following the news that 007: First Light was delayed to March 2027 a few weeks ago, IO Interactive have announced the Switch 2 version of 007: First Light will be available on March 18, 2027. Preorders have already opened at most retailers for a Deluxe Edition with additional cosmetics accompanying the Game Key Card.

In a sad irony, the run and gun game is owned by an autocart who favors blades for his extrajudicial killing.

Another trio of Game Boy Advance games are now available on the Nintendo Classics for Switch Online subscribers at the Expansion Pack level, including one making its debut outside Japan.
