Nintendo was supposed to publish the long-in-development Devil’s Third from Dead or Alive creator Tomonobu Itagaki, but various reports suggest that’s no longer happening. Itagaki has been working on Devil’s Third for a long time, and it seems to have been a troubled development. He left Tecmo back in 2009, forming Valhalla Game Studios the…
Considering my only memories of playing the N64 were of playing in large groups and eating a ton of shitty food, this custom console build seems very practical. It sees an N64 stuck inside a table, with the controller leads built in under the surface of the wood so that there’s no tangling. This also…
The Shin Megami Tensei/Fire Emblem crossover game sounds like something out of a dream, but isvery much a reality. But it almost ended as a dream.

In decades past, this casing may indeed have housed a Nintendo Entertainment System, but these days it’s home to a decent little gaming PC. Built by a PC Gamer reader, it packs an “Intel Core i5-4670K CPU, an ASRock Mini ITX motherboard, and an MSI GeForce GTX 750 video card”. It’s a tight squeeze, but…
Last month, Nintendo announced that gay marriage would be included in the strategy game Fire Emblem Fates, a first for a series that has long included straight romantic relationships. This month, many are calling the game “homophobic” and criticizing it for allegedly featuring “gay conversion therapy,” all based on a Tumblr translation of the game,…
It’s the final day of the 2015 Pokémon US National Championships. While the Trading Card Game champion has already been crowned, the video game competition is kicking off any minute (3PM Eastern, running late). Watch it live here.
Rhythm Heaven: The Best + does a pretty good job of living up to its name. Rhythm Heaven: The Best + is the newest game in Nintendo’s long-running Rhythm Heaven music game series. But the moment you boot up Rhythm Heaven: The Best +, you’re confronted by a glaring new addition: Unlike the past three…
Quick, get him before he’s sold out. If anyone knows who this is, let us know! (via @Decktronic)
Coming to the 3DS is a classic-style JRPG sequel that features mankind’s war to take back the Earth from dragons.

Club Nintendo has closed its doors in North America. “Our heartfelt thanks to our members for your support over the years”, reads a message on the now-shuttered site. “Please stay tuned for more information on our new loyalty program.” Former members are reminded that any download codes obtained from Club Nintendo…
June has been a big month for the team working on the Dolphin emulator, which allows users to play GameCube and Wii games on their PC. In addition to getting Virtual Console games up and running, they’ve also managed to get GameCube games working on an Android device (albeit one that few of you will…
It’s not easy to collect Amiibo—it’s a pain in the ass, really. But maybe things are changing, as Best Buy announced some surprisingly reasonable policies for their exclusive, Dark Pit. Here’s what’s different: No online pre-orders Local pick-up only One per customer Sold on a first-come, first-served basis Basically, there’s zero bullshit. You don’t have…

We missed this earlier in the month, but the talented team behind the Dolphin emulator have done something very cool: they’ve got N64 games working on the GC/Wii emulator by running their virtual console versions. While Pokemon Snap might not be the most exciting game to show off, it’s done with good reason: the photography…
It’s a damn shame this dream collaboration had to go down for a simple marketing stunt. Something more substantial between these two companies would have been the best Anyway, to show how this E3 stuff was put together, Nintendo went and shot some behind the scenes and interview footage, most of it starring Shigeru Miyamoto…
Nintendo, if you can team up with DeNA, you can team up with PopCap. Kleiton Dias made these gifs that illustrate how the crossover would work, as you pick Pokemon instead of plants them send them into battle instead of planting them. Aside from that, same basic principle! Some Pokemon roll down the line, others…

I suppose it was inevitable, wasn’t it? Pretty much since day one, comparisons between Wii U-exclusive Splatoon and early Team Fortress 2 have run thick, like wet paint or a rotting bucket of squid chum. Both are fast, fun team-based shooters that eschew grimdark trappings in favor of cartoon whimsy. This mash-up TF2 mod by…
