This year, the video game industry has been gripped by serious conversations such as the growing need for mass unionization in the video game industry. Most of the debate focuses around the people creating the games, but the people selling and maintaining the hardware used to play games also need their well-being taken into consideration. Thankfully, Nintendo is keeping this in mind. RELATED: Shigeru Miyamoto Reveals Why He Thinks The Super Mario Bros....

While this may have led some members of the gaming community to believe that some of Nintendo’s own studios didn’t have such problems, it seems that this couldn’t have been any further from the truth. Kotaku’s latest interview with numerous former female Nintendo of America (NoA) employees revealed that they have been subjected to sexually inappropriate behavior, workplace inequality, and ample cronyism throughout their careers at Nintendo’s American branch....

Pikachu has been cosplaying his little heart out for a while now. He’s been a detective, a chef, a luchador, and he’s even dressed up as other Pokemon. They’re all very cute, but it’s hard not to fall extra hard for a petite Pikachu with a tiny mustache and pair of overalls. For all fans of the underdog, the limited edition Mario Pikachu also comes in Luigi form, which should please those who appreciate Mario’s often disregarded brother....

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers regarding Joy-Con. We will do our best to ensure that our customers can use our services and products with peace of mind,” said Furukawa, stopping short at mentioning the drift issue, citing the lawsuit. Buyers of Nintendo’s current flagship gaming console have seen problems where the Joy-Con controllers (usually the left one) register input when there is none. So, a character or target may start moving even though you’re not using the analogue stick....

Nintendo has issued an official response to the ESA’s decision to cancel plans for E3 2020, offering a message of support and understanding, first and foremost. “Nintendo supports the ESA’s decision to cancel this year’s E3 to help protect the health and safety of everyone in our industry – our fans, our employees, our exhibitors, and our longtime E3 partners,” is the heart of Nintendo’s message.

Many gamers are familiar with Nintendo’s past ventures into the fitness sphere, like the Wii Fit, but this is something…different. Long gone is the body board, replaced by a leg strap and plastic ring that players have to pull and squeeze. It looks clunky and odd, but it works and is a ton of fun. I got to spend some time with the Ring Fit Adventure, and I found the game and its peripherals to work extremely well....

Unbelievably, some of the sales listings on eBay are actually pre-selling a pre-order, meaning the seller hasn’t even gotten their own hands on a Nintendo Switch yet. It has been a while since the video game industry saw hype surrounding a console reach this level, and despite the fact that Nintendo’s stock actually fell when it announced the Switch, things look promising for the company. It’s worth keeping in mind that some of the demand for the Switch may be artificially created due to its low launch supply, however....

Sega of Japan, Catherine: Full Body’s publisher, announced on Twitter Thursday that a free demo for the game will be available on the Switch eShop July 11 that will cover the first two days of its story. It’s not specified whether a version of the demo will be available outside of Japan, and currently the Switch eShop in North America only lists a pre-order option for the full $50 game....

New Nintendo Switch games are releasing for the console on a regular basis, even during downtime months where Nintendo’s competitors typically don’t have quite as many games, like in the summer. Mario Golf: Super Rush will release for the Switch soon, with early impressions of that game being fairly positive, and July 2021 will see the release of even more Nintendo Switch exclusive games.

The Switch Lite, which Nintendo is positioning as the low-end variant of the hybrid console, sacrifices much of the original device’s features for a cheaper price of $200. The biggest difference between the Lite and the original Switch is that the upcoming version will not be able to connect to a TV via HDMI, making it a pure handheld console. The Switch Lite will feature a smaller build, sporting a 5....

“The Nicktator” apparently melts when he sees that his first granddaughter, nearly 3-year-old Amelie, isn’t afraid of him. “My kids were always afraid of me,” Saban said on his weekly radio show (via AL.com). “And most of the players are a little afraid of me. But little Amelie, she’s not afraid of me at all. And I expect her to be afraid of me, and she’s not. It’s kind of shocking, actually....

On Monday, the Shade Room posted screenshots from someone with the Instagram handle @katemiller_7, whose bio said she is an executive at Republic Records, Minaj’s label. The photo associated with the account has been identified as one of author Megan Feldman Bettencourt, who appeared to have no involvement in the matter. On her now-deleted Instagram account, katemiller_7 posted numerous allegations, including accusations of abuse against Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, the name of Minaj’s son (which the artist has kept private), and accusations of fraud against Minaj, saying, “I have your tax refunds from 2021....

However, Sri Lanka fought back to get a few quick wickets and put Bangladesh in a spot of bother. Bangladesh, however, did not give up as Mahmudullah played a sensational knock of 43 off just 18 deliveries to guide Bangladesh to the final of the tournament. The victory, however, came amidst a lot of controversy in the final over of the match. With 12 runs required of the final 6 deliveries, Isuru Udana was bowling to the new batsman Mustafizur Rahman....

That will likely change in 2017, however, if the past few weeks have been any indiciation. Not too long ago, Square Enix announced that there would be a link between Final Fantasy 15 and NieR: Automata, a statement that showed a strong belief in the latter’s development progress. Today, developer Platinum Games upped the ante even further, unleashing a 4.4 GB demo of NieR: Automata in the PlayStation Store. The demo also got an updated description once it went live:...

The financial figure not only covers digital purchases, but also physical units shipped to retailers around the globe as well, meaning that Nier: Automata went on to sell another million units since its last reportage of sales numbers back in May. So, in order to celebrate this particular feat, Square Enix is putting the game on sale through Steam and the PlayStation Store for 35%-36% off for gamers who have yet to experience it....

While the trophy is a nod to the controversy that emerged over the…heavily detailed representation of 2B’s posterior that gamers found in NieR: Automata’s demo, it’s interesting that Square Enix and Platinum Games have decided to embrace that moment rather than simply edit it out of the final product altogether. For what it’s worth, the development team gave 2B a much fuller coverage underneath the skirt, likely to hedge against any negative stigma emerging out of a game that has suddenly become a sleeper contender for one of the best RPGs of the year....

During the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, Square Enix announced that the NieR: Automata - The End of YorHa Edition will be coming to the Switch later this year. NieR: Automata’s world and story have levels of depth to them that would seemingly disqualify it from getting onto the Switch platform natively, but PlatinumGames has found a way to make NieR: Automata run on the Nintendo Switch.

The west Africans will be making their sixth outing at the global football showpiece and are aiming to surpass their previous performance in the tourney. The three-time African champions last won their opening game at the quadrennial tournament in the 1998 edition against Spain. And, although, they failed to convince in their build-up to the tournament, team captain John Obi Mikel John Ogu, William Troost-Ekong, Elderson Echiejile and Joel Obi have taken to Instagram to herald their readiness for the crunch tie with the Zlatko Dalic’s men....
