Another system is being added to Nintendo Switch Online – that’s right, Nintendo GameCube will be heading to the Nintendo Switch 2 along with a brand new Nintendo GameCube wireless controller. There’s a bit to dig into here, so let’s talk about it. First and foremost, the release of the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is probably enough confirmation that we won’t be getting a remaster of that game anytime soon on Nintendo Switch 2. Is it a guarantee?…

As shown in today’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo plans to release updates for some past Nintendo Switch titles to enhance them on Nintendo Switch 2. This does make a ton of sense, allowing Nintendo to quickly expand their initial game base by simply releasing updates for old titles. A few games were shown off during the Direct, including updates to Mario Party Jamboree, and the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.…

In a move that perhaps did surprise me, although perhaps it didn’t, Fantasy Life is once again coming to the Nintendo Switch. I say once again because there was a fair amount of drama around the title when Level-5 released the final release trailer. Editor Note – in their last gameplay trailer about a month ago, Level-5 did indicate it was coming to “All Platforms” and showed a bit of Nintendo Switch gameplay.

Last week’s Nintendo Direct was pretty special. It had some deep cuts for fans, some major announcements, some decent third party stuff. They announced system level features and an news app, updated daily.

That’s absolutely spectacular. Listen, there is a lot you can knock Nintendo for. Their…

I wasn’t sure what to expect when Nintendo announced they were doing a Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch a few days ahead of launching a Nintendo Direct for the Nintendo Switch 2. What was left to show? Not only was I surprised by the number of games coming on the Nintendo Switch – Fantasy Life is coming after Level-5 said it wasn’t in their last video? – but I think that Nintendo has yet again shown they are looking…

Check out the announcement trailer along with our thoughts. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is coming this year, 2025. No release date has been announced for the game yet.

Today’s Nintendo Direct was…well…it wasn’t great. I was a little disappointed overall. There were a few great announcements though and one announcement that I freaked out about! I’m talking about the return of Tomodachi!! I have to talk about this. On the 3DS, I played the heck out of Tomodachi Life. The weird Mii sim was just absolutely crazy and I loved it. You created Miis and then put them into an apartment. After that you could give them gifts,…
