Metroid: Samus Returns is coming out next month. The game looks great and we are hoping to have a review of it. In the meantime, you should definitely check out this new Nintendo Minute which shows off Metroid: Samus Returns and some of its amiibo functionality. Metroid: Samus Returns comes out on September 15th. The game is a remake of Metroid 2 from the original Gameboy. I played the original Metroid 2 and liked it a lot. This remake looks…

Resident Evil Revelations was a really good game on the Wii U. When the second game was announced and it was revealed that it wasn’t coming to Wii U, I was disappointed. I’m not a PlayStation, Xbox or PC gamer, so I was going to miss out on that one. And now Capcom has announced that the first Resident Evil Revelations and the second one are coming to Nintendo Switch! Resident Evil Revelations 1 and 2 will be coming to…

The 3DS family has had a great summer with big releases: Ever Oasis, Hey! Pikmin, Miitopia, and the New 2DS XL. But the summer fun doesn’t stop there! Today, Nintendo announced their releases for August and September. Let’s see what they’ll release! The New 2DS XL is a cool looking system, but not everyone has enough money to get one. Perhaps, a regular 2DS is your speed? If so, you may want to hold off buying one right now. Why?…

Our overall review of Splatoon 2 is up on the site and readable here, but we thought we would do some extended, more in depth looks at some of the specific modes in the game. First up is Salmon Run, the one mode I was most critical of in my review. Frankly, the content of Salmon Run was not what was disappointing, but rather, the limited playability of the mode itself. However, after seeing what plans Nintendo has for this mode, and how often it will be available, I am willing to rescind some of that criticism.

Happy Splat Day! Splatoon 2 is out today for the Nintendo Switch. We have a press release from Nintendo detailing the game’s arrival. Splatoon 2 came out today (7/21) for the Nintendo Switch. The game can be found on the Switch’s eshop and at retail stores. Here is a press release from Nintendo about the game: “VANCOUVER, B.C., July 21, 2017 – Greetings! We here at the Squid Research Lab have some fantastic news. According to the position of the…

Splatoon 2 comes out tomorrow (7/21). Please check out Adam Roffel’s review. And you should check out this cool new Splatoon 2 launch trailer from Nintendo UK too! I love how this trailer gives a run down of all the different modes in the game. My favorite part, though, is when a lot of the special new weapons (hamster ball!) are shown! What do you like best about the above trailer? Are you looking forward to Splatoon 2?…

Not many games entice me to be online often like Splatoon 2 when it comes to Nintendo products. Even with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I generally spend way more time offline with friends locally, than online with strangers! I suck at first person shooters, and I generally play adventure title, almost exclusively. About there is something unique about Splatoon that makes me come back again and again, and I'm not sure I can put my finger on one reason why. Whether it's the online modes, Salmon Run, or the single player campaign, there is always something to do in ...

We are slowly creeping towards the launch of Splatoon 2, and this morning the preview embargo lifted for the game, which means a bit of video content is sure to hit YouTube! Unfortunetly, our review copy hasn't arrived yet - although it should be soon - so our preview coverage is limited to what we have seen online. As always, we've again partnered with Abdallah, a Nintendo of America Partner who will be doing a ton of Splatoon 2 streams in the coming weeks. If you click his banner at the bottom of this article, you can head over to his YouTube channel and ...

Style and fashion were on full display today during the Nintendo Splatoon 2 Direct! The ultimate goal of this 25 minute Direct - in my opinion - was to show fans exactly how Splatoon 2 was going to be different than the original title. From my point of view, I think they succeeded, and showed off a ton of things that I'm really excited to get my hands on!
