Nintendo has made some of the most iconic video games of all time, but building a library of the standouts can quickly become expensive, especially given that many titles don’t often go on sale at a significant discount. The good news is that Nintendo is already running a holiday sale in the run-up to Black […]
Hear me out: Kirby Air Riders isn’t a racing game, it’s an art tool with a racing game tacked on. The game, out now for the Nintendo Switch 2, is the follow-up to the quirky Kirby-flavored kart racer released in 2003 on the GameCube. It features Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai’s round, pink, utterly charming […]
I’ve developed a sixth sense for old video game cartridges. I can spot them at flea markets and thrift stores, spy them hidden behind stacks in used book stores. It happened after I first bought an Analogue Pocket, when the hunt for new and interesting Game Boy games became as important as actually playing them. […]
Nintendo recently issued an update (21.0.0) for its Switch 2 console that, in addition to some small changes, has caused some third-party docks to stop working as intended. In the early weeks and months of the console’s availability this summer, companies raced to figure out the right commands, the right power draw, and the right […]
First announced in October 2023 with an expected release sometime in 2024, the Analogue 3D is finally shipping on November 18th following repeated delays. The console is Analogue’s reimagined and upgraded version of the Nintendo 64 with 4K output and full compatibility with original N64 cartridges from every region, including both PAL and NTSC versions.

On the 15th floor of an upscale office building in Bellevue, Washington, security guards line the halls. They’re here to make sure we don’t stray – because I’m visiting Valve’s headquarters, a place few journalists ever get to go. The guards help escort me to a tiny demo room, where a pair of Valve engineers […]
The first full Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailer has finally landed, and it looks like Nintendo and Illumination are doing it big for their next animated feature. Though there are a few shots of the Mushroom Kingdom and a very miniscule Bowser (Jack Black) imprisoned in a tiny castle, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie‘s new […]
Nintendo rarely offers big discounts on its own games and gear throughout the year, but opportunities to save are coming soon. The company announced that multiple retailers will offer discounts of up to $30 off of beloved Switch games, as well as temporary price cuts on its amiibo figures, and a $20 off discount on […]
The Nintendo Switch 2 is backward compatible with most original Switch games, which is a great feature to tide early adopters (like me!) over until more Switch 2 exclusives launch. The console comes with 256GB of internal storage, but that probably won’t be enough room for your entire digital game library. Thankfully, however, Samsung’s 512GB […]
Nintendo has released a new store app on Android and iOS giving users the ability to purchase hardware, accessories, and games for the Switch and Switch 2. When I open my phone and scroll down to the N’s, I get a neat, full row dedicated entirely to Nintendo. That’s four apps: the Switch app, the […]
