Princess Peach Gets Her Own Damn Wii Remote Plus

Dammit, Nintendo. Showing up in stores later this month, the Peach Pink Wii remote isn’t just a…

Realistic Pokémon Snap Would Give Me Nightmares

Hey that’s not the Mewtwo and the Cerulean Cave I remember from the Pokémon games. This—otherwise amazing—redesign by DeviantART artist arvalis is way more creepy. It reminds me of those combat-free horror games (Outlast, anyone?), mixed with the N64 classic, Pokémon Snap I don’t want Pokémon to be real anymore. What Lies in the Cerulean…

A Breakdown of The New Smash Bros. Mode

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Ninja Tongue-Twister

The Most Insane GIFs From Nintendo’s Weird New 3DS Game

Today Nintendo unveiled Tomodachi Life, a game that our own Jason Schreier described as “Animal Crossing on Acid“. I’m inclined to agree.

GameXplain proves this…

Super Smash Bros. Screenshots Are Just The Best

Video game screenshots, as a general rule, are not very interesting. They’re dull, full of guns, and usually so dolled up in photoshop that they’re more works of fiction than genuine marketing tools. Super Smash Bros. is an exception to this rule. The folks behind Nintendo’s upcoming fighting game—out for 3DS this summer, and Wii…
