Nintendo lists latest My Nintendo rewards for June

Posted on June 5, 2017 by Jason Nason

Nintendo has launched the list of My Nintendo rewards for the month of June and they are a little underwhelming. While I love the idea of rewarding loyal Nintendo fanboys with discounts, giving those discounts on already discounted Nintendo Selects titles isn’t really that appealing. Sure it’s always nice to get a discount but let’s be honest. Most of use likely already have some of these titles. Additionally some of these discounts require spending gold coins, which one can only collect though purchases of digital content through the Nintendo eShop. Any of us who still primarily pick up physical copies of

Nintendo’s Latest Mobile Game Is Full of Charm & Silly Moments

Posted on May 28, 2017 by Rae Michelle Richards

The big N has been pretty consistent with their mobile offerings despite the fact that the majority of them have been developed by third parties.

I was kind of blindsided by the release of Magikarp Jump just a little under a week ago, I hadn’t played Select Button’s (the developer of Magikarp Jump) other

Today the adorable Cat Peach & Cat Mario held a indie developer focused “Nyandies Special” over on the Nintendo Japan YouTube channel.  Even if you don’t speak Japanese (as I do not) you might still recognize that the announcement of Owlboy for Switch is a world reveal.  Other big games featured in this presentation include the already available Fast RMX, Mr.Shifty and Shovel Knight as well as the yet to be released Steam World Dig.
