As of right now, the Nintendo Switch has been a major success for Nintendo. The device is passing major sales records with ease and doesn’t look like it is stopping anytime soon. Nintendo must be relieved with the reception it has received, especially after a comment by Nintendo of America’s former president Reggie Fils-Aimé. The

Nintendo has had a long history of charting its own way when navigating the gaming ecosystem. The company has always kept its fans on their toes and is always trying to innovate rather than following the latest trend and going the mainstream route. Now, thanks to the colossal success of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo has
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a complex and expansive game that features systems that players have learned to take advantage of. From learning to fly using rocks to skipping shrine puzzles entirely, the game offers players tons of tools to mess around with. As of last night, you can add customizable NPC’s
No More Heroes 3 is now deep in development. The game was announced at E3 last year and has since been shown off by creator Suda51 in the sneakiest of manners. Aside from the brief glimpse of the game though, No More Heroes 3 news has been slightly hard to come by recently. In lieu
Well, this is something I did not expect to write about this beautiful Saturday morning. Shakedown: Hawaii is coming to the Wii, Wii U, and Steam later this summer. Both of the versions will include all currently released content and updates, including the Mogul Update, the Full Tank update, and other tweaks that were implemented
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition might be close.

Nintendo closed 2019 in excellent fashion, selling over 10 million Switch consoles. In total Nintendo Switch has now sold over 52 million units since it’s March 3, 2017 release date. These updated sales numbers put the Switch well over the SNES which boasts lifetime sales of 49 million units. It goes without mention that Switch
With CES 2020 happening this week and the highly anticipated PS5 around the corner, it was destined that PlayStation would be revealing something at the conference. And just like many of us predicted, we saw the worldwide reveal of the PS5’s logo — a sleek and consistent take that doesn’t depart too wildly from the
After surpassing 100 million PS4 units sold just a few months back, Sony today announced that the PS4 has now passed yet another milestone with its latest sales total. Sony revealed today that another 2.8 million PS4 units were shipped around the world during the company’s most recent quarter of its fiscal year. Lifetime, this

Now that Nintendo has firmly established the Switch as their dominant console, it only makes sense that it is time to say goodbye to the old. Following the permanent closure of the Wii Shop Channel, Nintendo has also scrubbed the main pages for their previous platforms. Call it a bit of spring cleaning, with Nintendo
Retro City Rampage DX, which has gotten a release on nearly every other modern console so far, will finally be coming to PS Vita in a limited run physical edition. Only 3,000 units will be made and available for preorder on Wednesday, April 24th at 10am PST/1pm EST. And when the company says limited, they
As gamers, there are probably very few things that excite us more than coming across someone with a gigantic video game collection that covers their many walls from floor to ceiling. One hardcore gamer from Texas has done just that with his gargantuan collection of video games from every corner of the gaming spectrum that has
While Kirby Star Allies for Nintendo Switch was seen by many, DualShockers included, as a fairly by-the-numbers 2D platformer, it was able to stand out from previous Kirby titles by receiving a lot of free updates throughout its first year. While that string of updates has ended, HAL Laboratory’s Shinya Kumazaki delved into what characters and
It’s hard to believe we’re basically eight years out from the 3DS’ western launch. I still remember getting it around launch day in middle school at GameStop alongside Pilotwings Resort and LEGO Star Wars III (the system didn’t have the best lineup of launch titles). Since then, the 3DS has quickly elevated itself to be
While video games films are usually horrible, Detective Pikachu has the potential to buck that tend. The upcoming films has two enjoyable trailers and a funny video featuring Ryan Reynolds under its belt so far and already looks much more stylish than any other video game movie based on a popular franchise. The production crew
It’s been two years since the launch of Nintendo Switch, and what better way to celebrate then tribute to (arguably) the console’s best game? And that is exactly what fans are doing, sharing some pretty amazing Disney-like art of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild crossed with Twilight Princess. Resurfaced earlier today on The Legend of Zelda‘s
While Disney was a somewhat prominent game publisher just a decade ago, they’ve definitely fallen out of it in recent years, shutting down developers like Junction Point Studios, LucasArts, and Avalanche Studios as well as licensing out Star Wars and Marvel properties to companies like EA, Nintendo, and Sony Interactive Entertainment. On a recent earnings
Metroid is fine. Yes, it’s one of Nintendo’s most popular first-party franchises. Yes, Samus has become a gaming icon over the years. And yes, the idea of a cool sci-fi bounty hunter game where you’re fighting dragons, pirates, and weird jellyfish-looking things sounds rad as can be. The only problem is that I don’t think any
Do you or your grandma have a Nintendo Wii still sitting around gathering dust? Well, one of that thing’s biggest features is finally being phased out next week. As a reminder, Nintendo recently reiterated that the Wii Shop Channel, the digital storefront on the console, will finally be closing next week on January 30, 2019.
DeAndre Cortez Way, known “professionally” as Soulja Boy, has taken the world by storm lately through the release of many Soulja brand products. Some of these products were consoles that seemed to be direct knock-offs of Nintendo products such as the Wii U and GameBoy. They were removed without a trace in late December 2018
I have a confession to make: for the past ten years, I’ve been using the Wii Remote to play Super Smash Bros. You may be asking yourself why? Why on God’s green earth would someone devote years of their life to experiencing Smash in the (seemingly) least intuitive way? Well, my friends, it all started out of convenience. Listen up,
Nintendo Co. Ltd (the Japanese arm of Nintendo) applied for new trademarks for “Wii,” “The Last Story,” and “Fossil Fighters” according to eagle-eyed reporting from publication Japanese Nintendo. Also worth mentioning that these are reportedly all new trademarks — not renewals of previously approved marks. For the Wii trademark application, the classifications included ‘video game machine, ‘game
Within the past few days, fans began getting excited that The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, the Wii-exclusive title that features an emphasis on motion controls, could be coming soon to the Switch if what seemed to be hints from Zelda director Eiji Aonuma were to be believed. Well, it seems like those potential teases shouldn’t be regarded any
Console exclusives, which are usually first-party nowadays, have always been a hallmark of the gaming industry and are often some of the games hardcore fans look forward too most.

There always comes a time when the servers must be shut down for older titles. However, Ubisoft is shutting down the servers for multiple Just Dance games, Assasin’s Creed II on the MAC, and others in one swoop. Most notably though is Just Dance 2014 on the Wii. Who knew that they were still hosting their own
Over the past year, publisher THQ Nordic has been trying to revitalize the de Blob IP by brining the older games to modern platforms. The original de Blob has since been released across PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, while de Blob 2 hit just PS4 and Xbox One earlier this year. That will
If your version of vacation is a little less PG-13 than Dead or Alive Xtreme: Venus Vacation, Bandai Namco’s family-friendly Go Vacation may be your cup of tea. And while news of the party game’s Nintendo Switch re-release has generally been light on details, a brand new trailer gives a bird’s eye view of what is available
While there are a ton of cool-looking titles that I can’t wait to check out as press during my second year attending E3, as a fan, there is one game I am looking forward to that we haven’t heard much about for over a year: Fire Emblem for the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo confirmed that a
