REDMOND, Wash., Aug. 8, 2017 – Imagine standing on the big stage, controller in hand. Everyone in the audience is cheering your name, and even more are watching live at home. After advancing through the tournament, you are about to start the finals. If you win this round, you will be named the Nintendo World Championships 2017 tournament winner. Your heart is beating. The competition begins…

If you are old - and we are talking born in the 70s - you probably remember playing a number of classic arcade games like Dig Dug, Pacman, and of course, Galaga. If you ever really enjoyed these early 80s and 90s games, you can now get a good number of them in the Namco Museum title which recently released on Nintendo Switch. Included in Namco Museum are the following titles:

The guys over at Achievement Hunters teamed up with Ubisoft US to demo the multiplayer modes in Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle via the Ubisoft YouTube Channel. Although this game has been mainly billed as a single player experience to date, this demo really does a great job showing that Mario + Rabbids is a fully fledged, single and multiplayer title that will have tons of gameplay for everyone. Check out the video below, and our impressions after the break!

Overcooked has been available before, but players were tied to their consoles if they wanted to play. With the Special Edition launch on the Nintendo Switch, Overcooked is now available on the go, and it is one of the best, handheld/tabletop Nintendo Switch experiences to date. While the game will pose strong challenges to those playing by themselves, it's still incredibly rewarding to complete each level, and even more rewarding when getting the full three stars! Multiplayer, however, is definitely where this game shines.

The Pikmin franchise has been one of Nintendo's best since the original title released many years ago on the Nintendo Gamecube. Since then, Nintendo has been careful to not over extend the franchise, but only releasing new titles every few years. Until 2017, Pikmin has lived and died on the home entertainment console, never finding its way to the Nintendo 3DS family of system. With the release of Hey! Pikmin, that all changes, as does the game's formula, to make it more appropriate for the handheld device.

Nintendo had a great E3 this year. From Super Mario Odyssey to Metroid: Samus Returns, Nintendo was showing off a lot of cool titles for the 3DS and Nintendo Switch. And the Game Critics Awards thought Nintendo had some great titles too. Nintendo has been given several awards for what they showed at E3. The Game Critics Awards really liked what Nintendo showed at E3. Several awards were given to Nintendo. Super Mario Odyssey won “Best of Show”, “Best Console…

I was really disappointed in Nintendo’s E3 last year. Don’t get me wrong, I love Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but we just saw way too much of it and there wasn’t any other big games. This year, however, Nintendo has stepped up their game. And as a Nintendo fan, I really want to tell them this: Thank you. Thank you so much for giving us so much cool content this year. What did Nintendo do today? I’ll…

There were two Mario rumors that I didn’t believe: Mario + Rabbids and a remake of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. I was wrong. OK? Can we let this go now? I’m happy to be wrong. The Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga remake for 3DS looks really good! But I have to admit that as good as it looked, the new game Bowser’s Minions thats added to Superstar Saga looks even better. Bowser’s Minions, included with the new Mario &…

I was wrong. I was oh so wrong. It turns out that Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a real game. And it is coming to the Nintendo Switch. During the Ubisoft conference today (which is still going on as I write this), Mario + Rabbids was announced! What do I think of this game? Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a real game. Let me repeat that: Mario + Rabbids is a real game. I am stunned by this.…
