A newly published Nintendo patent reveals an unexpected hardware device that is surprisingly similar to an older console launch.

While the upcoming launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is guaranteed to drive huge sales, Nintendo also needs to prepare for the risks it'll bring.

According to a new rumor, a February Nintendo Direct will reveal Nintendo's last major game for the current Switch hardware.

Now that Nintendo has announced the Switch 2, we should finally start hearing more about the games for the new console in the coming weeks.

Nintendo has released eight home consoles (NES, Super NES, Virtual Boy, Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and the Switch) plus five handhelds (Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS) so far over the past five decades.

Nintendo didn't showcase a game lineup with its Switch 2 reveal, so this wishlist represents a fraction of the titles we hope will be available on day one.

In a viral video, a repair technician said the Nintendo Switch 2 appears to have a serious design flaw, sparking a debate.

The Switch 2 could shape up to be the ultimate all-in-one portable gaming device. There is potential for it to play other console games and PC games while still being the only device that can play Nintendo games. The only roadblock is Nintendo's insistence on keeping its ecosystem closed off and needlessly complicated.

Last week, the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal didn't come with a software line-up. That isn't expected until the upcoming Nintendo Direct in April. However, we may have an idea of some of the third-party support Nintendo will see at launch.

Nintendo of Japan has seen its annual salary decrease in 2024, though the company remains one of the highest-paying in the region.

Even before Nintendo unveiled the Switch 2 in all its glory, one of the few confirmed things we knew was that it'd be backwards compatible with existing Switch games, and the company has now stated that this decision was made since it was "the best direction" for consumers.
