Players new to Ninjala should start off by playing through the game’s tutorial and carefully reading through the in-game rules. This sounds obvious, but it’s particularly important to emphasize in light of frequent (valid) criticisms that Ninjala’s mechanics are difficult to understand, if not largely unexplained. The game’s interface is certainly not the most intuitive, but to the creators’ credit, the information is mostly there, albeit easy to overlook. Tutorials/infographics aside, players should be sure to peruse the game’s complete instruction manual, which is available through the in-game Help menu (the “Online Manual” option) or on Ninjala’s official website....

When left to his own devices, Luigi gets himself into pretty unusual circumstances. Oftentimes, when Luigi ends up in these predicaments, his older brother, unfortunately, isn’t there to rescue him. The green sidekick has had many careers and side-gigs, some more strange than others, making him one of Nintendo’s most eccentric characters. These are some of his more peculiar adventures throughout the years. 10 Teaming Up With Ness And King Dedede In Super Smash Bros....

Posting on his personal forum, ZodTTD reported that he is “currently working on a port of N64 for the iPhone 3GS and iPod Touch 3rd Gen.” He continues, According to ZodTTD, the emulator will be limited only to the iPhone 3GS and third generation iPod Touch because “they’re the fastest Apple handhelds in term of raw CPU performance” and “they both have a faster GPUs (Graphic Processing Unit) which allows for OpenGL ES 2....

Every time the publisher hosts a press conference or a video stream, the live chat is guaranteed to be flooded with comments demanding news about the game, often with walls of text that just say “BOTW2” over and over again. The exasperation is understandable, as Nintendo continually teases updates about Breath of the Wild’s long-gestating sequel, only to deliver the vaguest bulletins imaginable. For example, during their most recent “Direct” presentation in February (which even coincided with Zelda’s 35th anniversary), the company repeatedly instructed viewers to stick around for news on Breath of the Wild 2....

RELATED: Nintendo Switch Shortages Expected to Continue in 2022 Alongside Nintendo’s most popular titles from 2020 and 2021, plenty of the Switch’s older staple titles continue to dominate the best-sellers list as some of the most popular games on the nearly five-year-old console. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild all sit within the Top 10 best-selling games despite each title being released within the first two years of the console’s lifespan....

It’s no secret that Nintendo didn’t have the best E3 event this year. The company retired from appearing in person on stage at the annual event a few years back, but usually there are at least a few exciting announcements via the supplemental Direct presentations. Although Wii U fans were excited to finally see a closer look at Star Fox, the rest of the presentation left a lot to be desired and has put the company on the defensive in the weeks following the event....

One of the most notable figures frequently mentioned was Joey Cuellar, president of EVO, the most popular fighting game convention in the world. Some of these accusations claimed that Cuellar paid multiple under age fighting game players free arcade tokens to jump into a pool in nothing in their underwear. In response, EVO announced that it would be putting Cuellar on administrative leave while it awaited the results of a third-party investigation into the accusations....

In a statement given to IGN, Nintendo clarified that Fakesch was misquoted in regards to the release window for Super Smash Bros. on the Wii U and that the original article has since been changed to correlate with the previous confirmation of an unspecified 2014 release. This news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise for gamers who’ve been eagerly awaiting the latest Smash game, as development between each iteration usually takes a significant amount of time....

While many industry pundits rejoiced when Nintendo announced its intention to develop mobile games, the company has struggled to keep up momentum with its lineup of mobile titles. A few titles, such as Mario Kart Tour, are huge successes that drive monetization through a free-to-play model. Others, like Super Mario Run, have struggled to effectively convert downloads into purchases. Still, Nintendo isn’t out of the business yet, and continues to provide updates to games like Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp and Fire Emblem Heroes....

Players can get Piranha Plant for free if they purchased Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it is a limited time offer only. This offer will be valid until 31 January 2019, following which players will have the option to purchase the character as a separate DLC. If you redeemed the code before purchasing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, then your purchase will be counted and you can start playing. What are Piranha Plant’s moves?...

A report published by Digitimes this week confirms that the NX will be some kind of console-handheld hybrid, apparently sourcing the information from parties familiar with the manufacture of its component parts. Of course, it’s long been rumored that Nintendo’s next console would be based around this functionality. However, this isn’t the biggest news to come out of the production line. Apparently, Nintendo has altered the manufacturing schedule for the console, delaying work that should be getting underway now to the beginning of next year — and that’s because the company is planning to add virtual reality support....

While the console has a solid release date for Japan, Nintendo announced that each overseas branch would announce their own release date. However, Nintendo did state that other regions will likely receive the 3DS after Japan. We believe North America will receive a March release date for the console, as many were expecting, since CEO and President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, claimed there would be no holiday release this year....

Nintendo’s eShop sale spans both the Switch and the 3DS and focuses primarily on games featuring Smash Bros. characters, though there are several other games on sale that have nothing whatsoever to do with Nintendo’s landmark fighting series. The featured Switch games include: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Splatoon 2 Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Gold Edition Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Plus Fire Emblem Warriors Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers...

Whether or not you got the first one doesn’t matter too much here, nor does it really matter whether you still own the original SNES or if you’re too young to have owned it. The SNES Classic Mini is great for both camps and there’s already talk of a possible N64 Classic Mini – which, for the record, we’re all for. Also check out the Sega Mega Drive Mini....

The NES Classic Edition was released holiday 2016 and was immediately sold out across store nationwide. And it stayed virtually sold out until Nintendo inexplicably discontinued the device in February 2017. Nintendo would go on to say the NES Classic was discontinued due to limited resources, which left plenty of sales (perhaps several million) on the table. So while the SNES Classic has outsold the NES Classic it’s hard to truly compare the two when Nintendo boosted stock for one and limited the other....

The sales reports come from Media Create, a Japanese company that studies the market in the entertainment industry. It reports that the Switch sold 3,258,083 units, whereas the PlayStation 2 had 3,016,622 units sold in its first year. While it was extremely close, many fans may feel that the Switch was a worthy usurper of the title. Check out the chart below for the month-by-month sales comparison. It is worth noting that Nintendo has yet to make a comment concerning this data; however, gamers may witness some form of acknowledgment in the coming days....

Nintendo has always had a strange relationship with the trend of consoles becoming multimedia devices. While some apps like YouTube have almost always had a place on consoles, there are other services that seem to take a long time to reach the same devices. The Nintendo Switch has been no stranger to this relationship, as the console has a pretty slim suite of streaming services after being on the market for four years....

Visitors will find more than 35 rides and attractions across the 8.5-acre park, including roller coasters such as the Shellraiser—said to one of the world’s steepest roller coasters with a 122-foot drop. Other roller coasters to be unveiled include The Shredder, The Nickelodeon Slim Streak and Sandy’s Blasting Bronco. Guests will be met by several Nickelodeon characters including SpongeBob, Dora the Explorer and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles throughout the park grounds, CNN reports....

In the other three matches of the day, Italy shocked the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 67 runs, the Netherlands defeated Kenya by 29 runs, and Nepal overcame Bermuda by 21 runs. At Abu Dhabi Oval 1, Namibia recorded a seven wicket victory after Scholtz tore through Canada’s middle order, claiming five wickets in three overs for the loss of 13 runs. Scholtz’s maiden five-wicket haul is only the second of the tournament, after Hong Kong’s Hasseb Amjad claimed five for 12 against Italy on the opening day of the tournament....

With the seconds winding down on a victory over the Spurs, Batum's teammates found him and he launched a shot from deep. It went in, and he had his triple-double. But the Spurs appeared to be offended, and Batum attempted to clean things up after the fact. “That is maybe the worst thing I’ve done in my career,” Batum said, according to the Oregonian (via ProBasketballTalk). “It went in — I was like, ‘Oh, no,” Batum continued....
