News The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes Now Gives 'Hero Points' When You Play Unwanted Stages
Allows easier access to materials for outfits
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes is a nuisance for completionists; with so many outfits to obtain there's plenty of repetition and luck of the draw required to fill your entire wardrobe.

Higher ticket sales, but lower takings
The world may be gripped by Star Wars fever at the moment but in Japan, the most-seen movie didn't feature lightsabers or X-Wings, but mischievous ghosts and magical timepieces.

News Nintendo Achieves Modest Results in UK Christmas Charts
Call of Duty was number one, of course
Rather like the Christmas music chart number one being a coveted position, the same principle is applied to video games - in the UK, at least. Securing top spot in the final results prior to 25th December is an extra gong to celebrate, a string for a publisher's bow. Somewhat predictably that honour falls to...

Mobile smash finding favour on 3DS
Monster Strike - a mobile phone smash in Japan with daily revenues of over $4 million - is shaping up to be something special on 3DS, too.

Talking Point Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS Set a Standard That'll Be Tough to Follow
What can Sakurai-san do next?
Though some DLC and amiibo are still to arrive, leaving the development team with some work to finish off, it's certainly the end of an era for this generation of Super Smash Bros. The very nature of the Final Video Presentation was always going to be a tad divisive - the Fighter Ballot, in particular, had been a red...
News Analysts Weigh in on Nintendo's Successes and Failures with amiibo
It's been a great start, but there's plenty of room for improvement
Nintendo's amiibo lineup has certainly been a case of ups and downs. The popular collectible figures have generated some handsome profit for the company and it seems that more figures are launching all the time. However, amiibo have been plagued by stock issues ever since they've...

News Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei Dated For a 19th April Release in the West
Better watch out, Fire Emblem
You'd be forgiven if you've never heard of the game mentioned in the headline, as it's admittedly from a fairly niche franchise. Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei is the latest game in the Langrisser series, which evidently was Fire Emblem's biggest rival back in the day. Langrisser started on the Sega Mega Drive and had...

News Masahiro Sakurai Talks About Fire Emblem Characters in Smash Bros.
It seems to be that he's a big fan of Fire Emblem
Fire Emblem has enjoyed something of a revival in the last few years.

This was somewhat reflected most recently in Smash 4, where Fire Emblem graduated to having...
News Tri Force Heroes Developers Talk About the Engine it was Built on and a Cut Costume Idea
Evidently, there would've been a naked costume
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes has been out for a couple months now and it was very much met with divided opinions.

Random Take a Look at This Unofficial Version of Moonview Highway on Mario Kart 7
The closest thing this game's seen to DLC
It's difficult to believe, but Mario Kart 7 just passed its 4th birthday. Things looked a lot different in the days of its launch; the Wii U was still a year away, the eShop was in its infancy, and there admittedly weren't very many 3DS games worth owning. Mario Kart 7 marked the beginning of change, kicking...

Positively monstrous sales
It's a fairly well known fact that Monster Hunter is a pretty big deal over in Japan.

News Story of Seasons Hits Europe on 8th January, Australia the Next Day
The Not-Harvest Moon finally arrives
The story behind Story of Seasons is a rather strange one. While it may be a Harvest Moon title in Japan, XSEED Games had to change the name in the West due to licensing. So, it's a Harvest Moon in every possible way, but it just can't be called that over here. The situation is complicated further, then, because...
Editorial It's Not Fun to Criticise Nintendo Games, But It's Been Unavoidable in 2015
Tom Whitehead assures you he's not on a maniacal quest to destroy Nintendo

News Nintendo Launches eBay Store for North America
No amiibo for a hundred bucks, surprisingly
The last time we wrote about eBay we were probably despairing at scalpers flogging limited edition consoles or amiibo at ludicrous prices in the height of demand and low supply.
