There has been little news posted to DDNet this week, thanks to me being more sick than I have been in years, but I have risen from my half-dead state because this news is just too important to miss. Today, Nintendo released a first-look trailer for its Nintendo Switch successor, the creatively named Nintendo Switch 2. Information is still relatively…
Last week, Nintendo released a bizarre teaser trailer titled Emio. (It has since been edited to include the entire title.) It is grainy. It is creepy. I don’t think anyone could make sense of the 15-second trailer consisting mostly of a person wearing a beige trench coat and a paper…
Read MoreEsports has become a ridiculously big business, sucking up so many dollars that could have gone into interesting, artful games instead. They’re holding an Olympic Esports Games now… and stupidly the IOC chose the authoritarian, puritanical hellnation, Saudi Arabia, for it. Hey, IOC, put Dead or Alive on the competition…

Read MoreAh, I do love the smell of a Nintendo Direct first thing in the morning! It even gets me out of bed, which is a remarkable feat these days. Today’s Direct is about 40 minutes long and features games coming out in the second half of 2024 or soon thereafter.…

It’s now time to take that up a notch in the comfort of your own home with Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, announced today for Nintendo Switch. It’s time to find out if you’re really that…
Read MoreYou’ve got to feel sorry for anyone working on Nintendo’s social media accounts right now. Just imagine the number of “Switch 2 announcement when?” comments you’d have to read every time you logged into the company account. Apparently Nintendo as a collective has had enough of the rumours, heresay, lies…
Read MoreEndless Ocean Luminous is a rare treat. We live in a world where the games industry is steadfastly committed to speed. Often it’s done through violence and combat, but not always. Even puzzle game developers are on the hunt for ways to make their ideas flow as snappily as possible.…

Read MoreApologies for the incorrect date in the header image – Nintendo AU never published one so this is UK time. As always, expect about 20 minutes of announcements and updates on indie games coming soon (or soon-ish) to Nintendo Switch. While all of these are confirmed for Nintendo’s console, there…
