I haven't bought a single Amiibo yet, but maybe that's because Nintendo hasn't made one I'm looking for yet.

Nintendo issued a statement saying it was ramping up Amiibo production for the Japanese market. In particular, there has been a shortage of Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and the Animal Crossing Villager Amiibos. Remember this is for Japan and no word on how it impacts other regions. » 3/03/15 6:20am Tuesday 6:20am

Press the Buttons (via Fast Co.) recently got their hands on something very special: a copy of Nintendo's Style Guide, a 1993 document that sought to formalise all kinds of weird Nintendo-related mascot matters, like what exact colour Mario's and Samus' outfits have to be. » 3/02/15 7:00pm Monday 7:00pm

When Riot unveiled its new League of Legends champion "The Bard," the developer claimed that the heavily bearded fellow hailed from somewhere "beyond the physical universe in realms unknown to men." Fair enough. But could they be known to...pikmin? (Pun very much intended). » 3/02/15 3:05pm Monday 3:05pm

There's a new world record for getting all 120 stars in Super Mario 64 quickly—and it's kind of amazing that it happened at all. » 2/27/15 1:30pm 2/27/15 1:30pm

The amiibo collection game is fierce. Rumors of gold Mario amiibos circulated for a while, and Nintendo finally confirmed their existence this morning.

In November of 2012, Nintendo pulled the Donkey Kong Country trilogy from the Wii's Virtual Console. They gave no explanation, as is the Nintendo Way. And today, nearly two and a half years later, Nintendo announced that all three games are coming back, this time for the Wii U. » 2/26/15 11:11am 2/26/15 11:11am

"I swear I'm the only one who plays Diddy Kong." Competitive Smash-er and YouTuber The Dandy Keef has a clever spin on the "shit people say" template that's all about Super Smash Bros. jokes and memes. Enjoy. » 2/25/15 4:00pm 2/25/15 4:00pm

Ever since I transferred everything to my new 3DS, I've played with the 3D slider permanently on. With Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, though (the first game made specifically for the New 3DS, in that it won't work on an old one) I had to turn it off, because there was just too much happening on-screen. » 2/25/15 5:30am 2/25/15 5:30am

Here is a new trailer for Mother 4, the upcoming fan sequel to the much-beloved Mother trilogy that, incredibly, looks worthy of the name. The folks behind the game say it'll be out this summer. Think it'll live up to expectations? » 2/24/15 4:10pm 2/24/15 4:10pm
