As most Nintendo fans are probably aware, games by the first-party publisher rarely go on sale. With how wildly successful the Nintendo Switch has been, most of its first party titles haven’t seen great discounts until today. Nintendo began a New Year’s Digital Sale today that discounts multiple notable Nintendo Switch and 3DS games by

As 2018 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2018 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just
Welcome back, everyone, to DualShockers’ annual Game of the Year awards selection! We are all one year wiser, and one year more excited than we were in 2017. Thankfully, 2018 has been a rather contentious year with mega-hits like God of War, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Monster Hunter: World having a strong showing — we are in no
Nintendo might have the Nintendo Switch’s success causing the company hours of busy work, but they haven’t forgotten about the Nintendo 3DS console. Remember that? The handheld console that can turn your screen into a 3D image by messing around with your eyeballs? A new update rolled out bringing the latest version of the Nintendo
The recent trailer for the upcoming major motion picture Pokémon: Detective Pikachu marks the first big-screen outing for the Pokémon series in a live-action format. Featuring a compelling storyline and a wisecracking electric mouse voiced by Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds, the movie looks set to be jam-packed full of wholesome family fun. However, given the “catch ’em
Firstly, if you for some strange reason haven’t seen the trailer for the movie adaptation of the Detective Pikachu video game, go and do that now. It’s probably the strangest and most delightful viewing you will come across on the internet in some time – trust me. Anyway, not straying off the subject at all,
While Nintendo has gotten especially good in the past years at coming up with interesting twists on the Mario series — giving us everything from Mario Tennis, to Mario Kart, to Captain Toad, and beyond — few were willing to go as far as Luigi’s Mansion. Set in a completely different style from the likes of his brother, Luigi’s Mansion gave
Welcome to the first official DualShockers Definitives list! This week has been a hard one for DualShockers staff, thanks to much arguing and nit-picking over which games in the amazing Nintendo 3DS library make the Top 10. If you missed the original post, here is a quick TLDR on what this is all about: The
Etrian Odyssey Nexus has received its first English trailer showing some of the returning features, classes, and classic dungeon-crawling gameplay. Coming to the Nintendo 3DS on February 5, 2019, this will be the final Etrian Odyssey game on that handheld console. Due to this, developer Atlus has included the best aspects of the entire series,

WarioWare has always been one of the weirdest, most endearing corners of Nintendo’s wide breadth of IP. Its memorable and funny characters work well in tandem with the unique microgames in order to create minigame collections with a little more versatility than most in other games in its genre. That being said, we actually haven’t
The WarioWare series has always had a penchant for bringing gamers a ton of bite-sized mini-games with some questionable end goals, and based on a new trailer for the upcoming WarioWare Gold, players shouldn’t expect anything less from the upcoming 3DS game. Nintendo has released a new trailer for the upcoming WarioWare Gold, with the trailer highlighting the wacky
It feels like it’s been a decade since the original release of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker on the often-faulty Wii U. Pegged between Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Captain Toad had a soft but deserving impact on the home console selling 250,000 copies in its first month and garnering wide critical acclaim. In
Detective Pikachu, a point-and-click style adventure game, was released last month for the Nintendo 3DS, but if you weren’t sure about buying the game, you have the opportunity to download a free demo on the Nintendo eShop to try it out.

As someone that grew up alongside Pokémon for the vast majority of my life, seeing the series branch out into other genres aside from its stable of “catch ’em all” RPGs has always been one of my favorite ways to engage with the series as I’ve gotten older. While Pokémon has evolved (yes, pun intended) into other genres
Have you ever thought to yourself: yeah, Detective Pikachu is nice, but what I really need is a prequel e-book so that I can understand the character motivations of my coffee-chugging, Danny DeVito-sounding protagonist? Well, good news! Nintendo has released a Detective Pikachu prequel e-book to cater to your incredibly specific desires! It is titled Detective
Atlus really enjoys their remakes. In their defense, they not only make their games prettier the second time around, but they typically add gameplay elements and even new characters into the story. The title Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is no different, getting a major facelift while being ported to the Nintendo 3DS. Today, this
Released in 2014 on the Wii U, the long-waited Hyrule Warriors brought together the worlds of Dynasty Warriors and The Legend of Zelda in a unique and action-packed way, and the title is now bringing the action in a new release on the Nintendo Switch this coming spring. During today’s Nintendo Direct Mini, Nintendo revealed that Hyrule Warriors: Definitive
While the Nintendo Switch has taken its place as Nintendo’s newest console, the stalwart Nintendo 3DS has still held on since releasing back in 2011, with the handheld getting two new editions this fall for fans to enjoy.

In addition to that, you’ll also receive sixteen physical art cards, as
Today Nintendo and The Pokémon Company released a brand new trailer for their two upcoming games, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Pokémon Ultra Moon.

So let’s talk about Mighty No. 9: I think the stale taste has left everybody’s mouths by now. To put it simply, that game was a disaster with so much potential to be great. A true successor to the Mega Man series, with one the series’ most notable leads, Keiji Inafune, at the helm. Sadly,
