We asked for the perfect Lego Nintendo Game Boy… did Lego deliver? After revealing this January that it would take up the challenge, it has revealed a most impressive take on the 1989 classic that’ll cost a relatively reasonable $60 in the US. It’s already up for pre-order today for an October 1st ship date. […]
We already knew that Nintendo got off to a strong start with the Switch 2’s launch, and now that the console has been out for a bit, we’re getting a clearer picture on exactly how it performed. According to market research firm Circana, Nintendo’s new console “debuted as the fastest selling video game hardware device […]
Today’s Pokémon Presents livestream was short but definitely not light on announcements. There’s a new Pokémon puzzle game out right now. Pokémon Concierge season 2 has a release date.

The Switch 2 technically launched with an F-Zero game, as F-Zero GX was available on Nintendo Switch Online’s premium tier as part of the GameCube lineup.

Today is Donkey Kong Bananza launch day, and what better way to celebrate than with a discount? The Nintendo Switch 2-exclusive game is currently $62.99 ($7 off) at Costco for members.

You may not have heard of them, but there’s a good chance they’re going to be a part […]
