One of the best Metroid games for the Switch is 30 percent off

One of the best Metroid games for the Switch is 30 percent off

Nintendo’s “Customer Appreciation” sale continues through September 26th. It includes discounts on Switch games and accessories, and I thought I’d call out one of my favorite games that’s cheaper than ever. Metroid Prime Remastered is down to $27.99 in digital format for the Switch and Switch 2, and it’s among the best remasters I’ve played […]

Bolstered by Switch 2 sales and Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake's reveal, Nintendo of America COO promises: "This is just the beginning"

Bolstered by Switch 2 sales and Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake's reveal, Nintendo of America COO promises: "This is just the beginning"

Nintendo is having a pretty good time of it at the moment. Last year, we learned that the Switch 2 became the fastest selling video game hardware device in US history, usurping the PS4's golden record . Then, earlier this year, we learned that Switch 2 sales reached nearly 20m almost one year after release , making it the second-fastest selling console in US history . Buoyed by the runaway successes of games like Pokopia and other first-party hits, not even the reality of a hardware price rise seems to be hobbling Nintendo's momentum. Read more

Small but mighty! Remembering the GameCube, Nintendo’s purple bundle of joy

Small but mighty! Remembering the GameCube, Nintendo’s purple bundle of joy

The first console I ever bought, it was hyped as a threat to the PlayStation, then mocked as a flop. But now, as it marks its 25th anniversary, it’s looked back on with misty-eyed reverence This week marks the 25th anniversary of the Nintendo GameCube, the first console I ever bought with my own money. I vividly remember getting on the bus after school with a year’s worth of savings safely zipped into the pocket of my bag and going to a branch of Currys, where I dumped a bunch of notes, coins and vouchers on the counter to collect my pre-order. (It turned out that some of the vouchers from the previous Christmas had expired, but the guy at the checkout clearly felt so sorry for me that he redeemed them anyway. If you’re out there, Currys guy: thank you for taking pity on a desperate 13-year-old.) If it hadn’t been for the ill-fated Wii U console, whose failure to take off in 2012 resulted in the first unprofitable periods in Nintendo’s game-making history, the GameCube would be remembered as the company’s biggest flop aside from the infamous Virtual Boy, from 1995. Released in Japan this week in 2001 (and in May 2002 in Europe), this surprisingly powerful purple cube sold less than the Xbox and the PlayStation 2. With its squat, colourful form and unusual controller, arranged around a big traffic-light-green A button and small analogue sticks designed for small hands, it had a hint of Fisher-Price about it.

Nintendo opens up Fire Emblem with the gigantic Fortune’s Weave

Nintendo has gotten quite good at making open-ended games. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild upended the idea of what a Zelda game could be by giving the player free rein to tackle any part of the map, a philosophy iterated upon with Tears of the Kingdom. On the Switch 2 this idea […]
