This whole drama started because of comments xQc made Monday night on Twitch. He revealed that some streamers on Twitch get paid to do charity streams. Charity streams are exactly how they sound, a streamer will broadcast themselves (typically playing games) while allowing people to donate in an effort to raise charity. But as xQc pointed out, some streamers earn money from doing a charity stream. Warning: video contains explicit language...

It seems the game has also generated a fair amount of competition between players online, with many commenting on each others’ in-game rankings. Case in point, there’s a recent interaction between Dr DisRespect, Ninja, and Shroud, with the former placing Bronze-3 in the popular online shooter and becoming the subject of some light joking from his fellow streamers.

Tears of the Kingdom looks like it will retain much of what made Breath of the Wild popular to begin with, all the while expanding the scope to include the skies above Hyrule as well as the dungeons that lie beneath it....

The main point of intrigue for many fans with this entry in the series are the characters and world. With the previous entry setting up plot threads that connected the first and second games together, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 seems like it will completely tie all three games in some fashion. This can be seen with the trailer’s inclusion of possible returning characters like Melia and Nia. A number of new characters and party members were all shown off during the trailer as well, with some of them being included in a new piece of key art leaked by Nintendo....

The unfortunate truth is Super Mario 3D All-Stars reflects an approach to Nintendo’s backlog that’s been around for a long time, but is only now becoming far more egregious and controversial. As the March 2021 deadline to buy Super Mario 3D All-Stars comes closer, Nintendo still stands firm in its limited release treatment for the game. Even if this release was orchestrated and intended for the “celebration” of Mario’s anniversary, that isn’t a viable answer for why it’s being taken off the eShop next year....

Nintendo’s eShop profits are relatively small for a company as large as the games industry giant, but the magnitude of that discrepancy becomes a lot clearer when Nintendo’s digital profits are compared to Sony’s.

Nintendo ends each month with a quick video showcasing games big and small that fans can now pick up and play, thanks to the game releasing that month.

In spite of the infamous Joy-Con drift that Nintendo has been sued several times for, the Joy-Con is a pretty well-designed controller.
