This year marked the first E3 in 15 years without the Regginator at the helm.

Nintendo of Europe has dropped a list of the top-selling games from the Switch eShop throughout June, and this month it’s a Zelda title that tops the charts.

At Nintendo’s recent shareholder meeting (translated by Japanese Nintendo), one of the shareholders asked about adding Nintendo 64 and GameCube games to the Switch’s library. We don’t know who they are, but we love ’em for it. In response, Nintendo President Shintaro Furukawa seemed to hint that the current retro offering — tied to the…
Musical maestro Grant Kirkhope — the mastermind behind the soundtracks to Banjo-Kazooie (still can’t believe they’re gonna be in Smash) and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle — has said he’d be open to working on music for Cadence of Hyrule. Appearing on an episode of Miketendo 64’s podcast, Kirkhope said he’d “love to” work on Cadence…
We’re still reeling from the surprise reveal of the Breath of the Wild sequel at the end of Nintendo’s E3 Direct. But after watching it several hundred times, we’re increasingly convinced that none other than Ganondorf himself will be cropping up when the next entry to the series drops. In the trailer below, we see Link…
Over on the ol’ Tube of You, a user by the name of kukun kun has uploaded some footage from an old Japanese TV show. Not that exciting in itself, except the footage in question was actually shot at Nintendo’s Spaceworld event from 1996. Amongst the usual hyperactive Japanese fare, we get a few quick…
It’s been a little while since Reggie Fils-Aime retired from his role as the head honcho at Nintendo of America. The Regginator was invited to give a commencement address at Ringling College in Florida, after which he spoke to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune about a number of things, including of course his time with the big…
Given just how packed the roster is for Super Smash Bros Ultimate, it’s hard to believe that there were only eight characters included in the original release back on the Nintendo 64. The sole representative from the Zelda series for that initial outing was of course Link, but now a clever mod from Houston Smash 64 has added…
Nintendo has published the Q&A from its recent investor meeting, and while many of the questions focused on the company’s plans to expand into China, there was an interesting tidbit regarding Nintendo Switch Online.

Whilst Zelda is a big hitter for Nintendo in the west, it doesn’t carry quite the same weight in Japan. That said, Breath of the Wild is still performing rather well, and has now surpassed Twilight Princess in terms of units sold. The 709,091 copies snapped up by Japanese gamers make it the 5th best selling Zelda title of…
The Switch isn’t blessed with the largest internal memory, standing as it does at 32GB. Plenty of people then are opting for a physical library for their Switch, rather than eating up space with digital purchases. However, Nintendo have now said that some future Switch releases will require users to expand the memory available via…
