Nintendo’s stock lost seven percent of its value over the weekend. The main reason for this was “poor performance” of Super Mario Run, which is kind of subjective.

January 13 is the day Nintendo has scheduled a press conference to announce their plans for their snazzy new Switch console — odds are good we’ll hear about the launch games beyond Zelda, and what that Mario samurai shirt Miyamoto’s been wearing lately is about.

It seems as if The Biding of Isaac will release on the Nintendo Switch when it launches next year, at least according to a strong hint on the developer’s website. Nicalis founder Tyrone Rodriguez explained in a recent blog post that the DLC expansion pack for the game would be coming to “PlayStation 4, Xbox […]
If you have yet to be introduced to the growing trend of escape rooms, they’re enclosures where groups of people are locked into a room for one hour and have to search the place for clues to escape. It’s not unlike living a video game, which is a big part of the appeal (plus, the […]
Nintendo is in an awkward position with the Switch. Since it’s merging both their console and handheld markets, it has to be sold at a price that the console crowd will respect, but the handheld buyers won’t feel is too high.
