Random Someone Has Made Functioning Wii Remote Joy-Con For The Switch 2
Wii would like to play
The Joy-Con 2 are a huge improvement over the original Joy-Con, mostly thanks to the larger size. But they can still prove to be uncomfortably over lengthy period of time.

Before Metroid Prime launched in 2002, the series had been exclusively 2D since its inception in the '80s.

Random This Zelda X Wallace & Gromit Parody Is The Mash Up We Didn't Know We Needed
The Gorong Trousers
When we initially heard about the Zelda live-action movie, there was a group of us that firmly believed Link's big-screen debut would be better suited to animation. At the time, we meant something hand-drawn or otherwise Ghibli-esque, but now we take that all back. A Legend of Zelda movie should be full stop-motion claymation...

Random That's Not 'Gears Of War' Or 'Dead Space', Just Another Terrible eShop Clone
Cover and hide
eShop clones and rip-off games are still a problem in 2026, and we've spotted another particularly bizarre offender today on the digital storefront.

Normal Poipole
Back in 2016, Pokémon Sun and Moon gave us our first look at the Ultra Beasts.

Well, according to former Game Freak...
Feature Here's All The Best Switch 2 & Nintendo Stuff I've 3D Printed So Far
Resin-dent Evil?
For past me, the idea of 3D printing — just the mention of it, the sound of the words — always conjured up images of stuff like Tom Cruise and his wee red balls in Minority Report. I know, the 'precog' machine in that particular movie wasn't really a 3D printer, and Tom's wee red balls seemed to be made of some sort of weird...

Unwind with 'Activity Log Software Library'
Nintendo is no stranger to a banging soundtrack.

Feature 11 Of The Strangest Game Over Screens On Nintendo Consoles
You died. Strangely. Now plz rate the experience.
Game over screens — as a professional gamer, you understand — aren't something that I personally have a lot of firsthand experience with. Not through a lack of in-game skill, that's for sure. However, as I'm also a highly learned and incredibly hirsute scholar of the interactive arts (also a...

A rare feat
Super Meat Boy's reputation precedes it. The notoriously-difficult precision platformer is designed to be extremely challenging, and death on every single screen is basically inevitable.
