Gallery Fan Concept Shows How the Nintendo Switch Online App Could Actually Be Good
Just do this, Nintendo
We've been pretty clear on where we stand with regards to the initial launch of the Nintendo Switch Online app - we like Splatnet 2 a lot, but the voice chat functionality is woefully undercooked. We've also shared thoughts on the basic features that can revive the app and make it a useful part of our Switch gaming routine,...

Nintendo's quirky social network Miiverse was launched way back in 2012 alongside the Wii U, and was later rolled out to the 3DS.

Gallery Colorware's Custom Joy-Con Are Just Lovely
Bursting with colour
Some time ago, Colorware - purveyors of all things colourfully customised - sent over a few sets of Joy-Con they had painted for us to review.

Gallery This Super Famicom Switch Skin Will Give You The Retro Feels
Love the skin you're in
The allure of retro hardware is pretty strong, and Nintendo knows it - hence the fact that it has produced vintage-themed variants of the Game Boy Micro and 3DS XL in the past. It has yet to pull the same trick with the Switch (hardly surprising given how new the console is) but if you really want to give your system that...

Cosplay is a massive part of being a video game fan for many players, and devotees of certain franchises spend countless hours crafting the perfect costume.

Knock Out!
One modern way to check how your new brand new IP is tracking is by taking a moment to look at the wonderfully talented Nintendo community and see how much fan-art is being created.

Back when Splatoon was making a splash prior to release in May 2015, Nintendo did various things to keep eager fans interested.

As you'll know if you're a regular reader of this site we were lucky enough to go hands-on with the Nintendo Switch a few weeks ago, and tried to take as many snaps of the hardware as possible.
