It is safe to say that Nintendo has moved to their one-console ecosystem, proving at home entertainment and on-the-go fun in one great package, the Nintendo Switch. And this hybrid console has paid off in spades, selling nearly 90 million units since 2017. Not too shabby. This transition away from the 3DS and the rest of their handheld library has begged one important question: when do the exclusive handheld franchises land on the Switch?

First reported by IGN, a new patent has been unearthed detailing a new stylus attachment for the Switch Joycon.  While there are styluses already available, this new accessory would be more feature-rich.  Think more along the lines of an Apple Pencil than a generic piece of plastic.  As seen below, the device will replace the traditional Joycon straps, with a small stylus head protruding from the top. An image of the new accessory pulled from Nintendo’s patent application. Since the…

The Nintendo 3DS, long thought dead by critics of the platform, continues to amaze the video game world with continued - albeit slowing - sales and new experiences. Enter Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn, a remake of the Nintendo Wii game of a similar name, which brings to 2019 the same charm the original had in spades. Does it hold up game play wise all these years later? Let’s dive in!

I love Warioware. I may have mentioned that before in this column. But why do I like this series? And why am I so excited for the upcoming release of Warioware Gold for the 3DS? Lets take a look at the series and the upcoming entry! Warioware is so weird, strange, goofy, silly, and freaky. I think thats why I like it. There is no other series that I can think of that can weird me out, gross me out,…

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker originally released back in 2014 on the Nintendo Wii U. The game was based on mini games that players could enjoy in Super Mario 3D World, also on Nintendo Wii U. These games were so popular, in fact, that Nintendo decided to create an entire experience for Toad. And people loved it. Unfortunately, people didn't love the Wii U though, so this fantastic game only made it into a fraction of the households who actually owned a Nintendo Switch. The game is now getting a new lease on life with the Nintendo Switch, and we cannot wait ...

When playing through Hyrule Warriors over the weekend, I quickly realized something that I've probably known for a long time: Hyrule Warriors is a love letter to all the previous Zelda console titles, and really brings all those nostalgic feels back when playing in specific areas, using specific characters, and hearing specfici tunes. Although the game isn't what you might expect from a Zelda experience - don't let that deter you Zelda fans! - there is something really great here that long time console franchise fans will love!

For those who are still playing Pokémon Sun / Moon and Pokémon Utlra Sun / Ultra Moon, The Pokémon Company has more great news for you. On June 1st, players will be able to access the Legendary Pokémon Shiny Zygarde via an in-game gift!

Even if you are not a long time fan of the Pokémon franchise, there is one thing you probably do know: Pokémon don’t talk to humans and humans don’t talk to Pokémon. Sure, based on emotions of a Pokémon - or even their actions - a good trainer can determine what a Pokémon is thinking or feeling; but to actually talk to one? That is basically unheard of. So when we learned about the popular Japanese Detective Pikachu and that it was going to be brought over to the West, I was incredibly skeptical. I wasn’t onboard with talking Pikachu. So how did this colour ...

Although no one will be surprised that this has happened, many will be surprised it happen this quickly. As of Nintendo's latest financial release, the Nintendo Switch is sitting just shy of 15 million unit sold, which easily topples the lifetime sales of the Wii U, which currently sits at roughly 13.5 million. For Nintendo, this is fantastic news. For Nintendo fans, this is also fantastic news, as the company is likely to continue rolling out fantastic experiences for it's consumer base!
