Pac-Man 99 is the next last-player-standing game for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers following Tetris 99 and Super Mario Bros. 35 (RIP), and you know what? Sure. I'm down. There's going to be a point of diminishing returns for these nos...

[Narrated Josh Picard] Thirty-one years ago, The Legend of Zelda became the first video game I ever beat. A year later, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link became the first video game I ever quit. To be fair, I didn't finish too ...

I've had so-so luck over the past year and a half collecting all the free Mystery Gifts Nintendo and the Pokémon Company have sent out for Pokémon Sword and Shield, and there's a good chance I would have missed this one t...

Beat ‘em ups were never my jam, but when Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game came out in 2010 it completely changed my perspective. A bangin’ chiptune soundtrack with wicked pixel art and characters from one of the raddest ori...

Just in time for the Monster Hunter Rise demo, there's another seven-day trial for Nintendo Switch Online. You'll just need a My Nintendo account to get your free code – no Platinum Points necessary. The only restriction is that you c...

Full game trials are something I'd like to see more of in general and also specifically for multiplatform games. Sometimes you want to see – and feel – how a particular game runs on Switch, y'know? This week, Nintendo is hosting...

It's been a while since we got an update to the SNES Nintendo Switch Online and NES Nintendo Switch Online catalogs, but this week will see five games hit the platforms just in time for winter break. The biggest of the bunch is without a do...

If you've had your fill of Super Mario Bros. 35,  heads up: Nintendo is rolling out another one of its infrequent Nintendo Switch Online membership perks. For a limited time, Overwatch will be free to play. To partake, just grab Overwa...

I brought my Switch with me to bed last night. No, it wasn't to check on my Animal Crossing villagers I haven't visited in over a month... It was to maliciously wreck 34 other players in Super Mario Bros. 35 by outlasting them and sending a...

Nintendo is keeping Animal Crossing: New Horizons fresh in our minds with its seasonal updates that are slowly introducing new and returning features to the hit title. After two fantastic summer updates, it's time to get ready for...

Do you know what one of my favorite things about Autumn is? Sitting outside a cafe, slowly slipping away on a nice chai latte. Sadly, I haven't been able to do that this year because of COVID and all the noxious smoke from the California wi...

[Update: DKC2, Mario's Super Picross, The Peace Keepers, and S.C.A.T. – yes, S.C.A.T. – are now on Nintendo Switch if you have a Nintendo Switch Online account. What are you playing first?] Our pleas have made it to Nintendo an...

Slowly but surely, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is adding in the features fans fell for in previous entries of the franchise. A few weeks ago, swimming and deep-sea diving were added in the first of two promised summer updates. Only J...

My four Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers didn't last very long, but maybe you're still clinging on, waiting to redeem some cool as-yet-unannounced game. Well, time is running out, and fast. It's PSA time! The digital vouches last for one full ...

You'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise on most days, but Super Nintendo and NES games are still trickling into the Nintendo Switch Online library. On July 15, 2020, Nintendo is adding three more games to the paid service: Donkey Kong Coun...

It's vague, but Nintendo says that it's at least aware that their Switch Online servers aren't always up to snuff. Speaking to investors at the most recent shareholder meeting, company president Shuntaro Furukawa acknowledged a statement th...

Nintendo hasn't tried to hide the fact that it is using its quasi-free-to-play battle royale Tetris 99 as a glorified advertising vessel. Every time a first-party Nintendo game comes out, it's almost guaranteed that it will get a theme and...

It's time to check in with Switch Online: the service that seems like it's stuck a generation or two behind. Speaking on a recent financial briefing conference call, Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa, naturally, remains hopeful. Alt...

I've set my expectations for Nintendo Switch Online low enough that Nintendo can no longer hurt me with its slow, meandering, out-of-left-field game selections. (Kidding! Kind of.) Next week, four new games – three for Super Nintendo,...

Nintendo is still rolling with free game trials for Switch Online users, and this latest one is a bit of a surprise: it's an indie game not developed/published by Nintendo! Over in Japan, Switch Online users can try Celeste for free fr...

Despite being a free-to-play game tied to a service that has a myriad of issues, Tetris 99 is still one of the best puzzle games on the market. The battle royale block dropper keeps itself relevant with Maximus Cup tournaments every mo...

So you're stuck at home, own a Switch, and don't find the current Switch Online subscription service to be enticing enough to pay for. You probably took advantage of Nintendo's recent free trial period, right? Well, thankfully the publisher...
