The official Nintendo Black Friday deals are now live. We featured the eShop sale earlier this week and the official physical game deals landed this morning, but that also means the Nintendo amiibo deals are now live as well. Nintendo officially announced a collection of its latest collectibles would be seeing deep deals for Black Friday this year, and they are now live starting from just $10. Be sure to head below for the lowest prices.

The official Nintendo Black Friday deals are now live! While we already saw this year’s eShop event go live, it wasn’t nearly as notable as were hopping for (at least in terms of first-party Nintendo games) – today’s sale, however, is the real thing with Nintendo’s actual Switch game deals at up to 50% off at most major retailers. 

While it’s been all about the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie as of late, Nintendo did confirm its live-action Zelda film earlier this year before announcing the actors set to personify its titular princess and the Hero of Light this past summer. However, up until now, we were yet see any images from the film or the set – Nintendo just unleashed the very visuals of Zelda and Link from the film. 

The next major Nintendo Switch 2 release is quickly approaching with the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond set to land early next month. Now just under 3 weeks from launch, and just after Nintendo unleashed the recent Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – Survive trailer we featured, a brand new Metroid Prime 4 Overview trailer has just released on the Nintendo Today! App – we are assuming it will be up on its YouTube and X channels very soon (if it isn’t already). 

After several months of leaks and rumors, Nintendo finally confirmed the name of the next Mario film – The Super Mario Galaxy Movie – and today it will debut the very first trailer. While we got a quick snippet in Title Announcement trailer as part of the Mario 40th anniversary bonanza, the celebration continues this morning as Nintendo is set to host a dedicated Nintendo Direct just Mario’s next appearance on the silver screen.

Nintendo has just taken to official X account to tease some new Legend of Zelda LEGO action. We have already got the epic Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set previously, weighing in at 2,500 pieces, but it looks like there’s a whole lot more to come. 

Nintendo just officially announced the next Nintendo Direct, but it might not be the one you are waiting for one. Or…maybe it is because it will host the world premiere of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie official trailer.

The official Nintendo Black Friday 2025 deals have now been announced! Every year at this time, Nintendo issues a press release detailing the official Nintendo Black Friday plans, featuring loads of game deals, console bundles and more, and this year it is not playing around – it is going to be offering a straight $50 price drop on the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle. Head below for all of the details. 

The official Nintendo Black Friday sale has yet to be announced, but it has now just launched a wide-ranging Square Enix sale on the eShop with some notable and rare deals.

Nintendo finally revealed the December launch date for the long awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond after nearly a year of waiting, and it just debuted a brand new trailer for the game you can check out below. 

Nintendo recently unveiled the upcoming Animal Crossing New Horizons Switch 2 version, as well as a FREE update to the Switch version. But for folks who for some reason haven’t scored a copy of the Switch version, Woot is offering physical boxed versions down at $44.99 Prime shipped from the usual $60 list price. This of course isn’t the Switch 2 version, but there will be a $5 upgrade pack – this means you can land the game on Switch 1 for $45 and the upgrade pack to score everything the boxed Switch 2 version has for $50, instead of paying the full $65 list price on the Switch 2 Edition.

Nintendo officially announces Animal Crossing: New Horizons Switch 2 Edition + FREE update

Nintendo has just official revealed Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition with a series of upgraded features specifically for the new console, as well as a FREE update coming to Animal Crossing: New Horizons for Nintendo Switch. 

Nintendo has now officially launched Luigi’s Mansion for the GameCube Nintendo Classic library. As we reported previously, and after teasing the game months ago, Nintendo has launched the retro ghost hunting action right on (ahead of) schedule. 

As Nintendo previously announced, the next additional to the Switch 2 Nintendo Classics GameCube library is officially set for release tomorrow. Much as we predicted, the original Luigi’s Mansion for GameCube is arriving just in time for Halloween this year and all eligible Switch Online members with a Switch 2 will be able to dive in starting…as early as tonight.

It is Mario’s 40th anniversary this year and we have already detailed all of the new releases Nintendo is set to drop in celebration – there’s even a Talking Flower collectible from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. But Nintendo isn’t done yet, as it just announced that Mario will be soaring the skies through the streets of NYC this Thanksgiving in the Macy’s Day Parade. 

Nintendo Direct goes live again this morning, and it’s all about the new Kirby Air Riders. As was officially announced earlier this week, Nintendo will livestream its next Direct presentation very soon on its official channels to give us another particularly lengthy look at the new Kirby racing title. 

Let’s take an updated look at all of the games confirmed for the Switch 2 GameCube library. Nintendo debuted the Nintendo Classics GameCube collection the same day Switch 2 launched this past summer with three titles and has steadily been updating it alongside the rest of the Switch Online retro libraries. 

Just after revealing the next Nintendo Classics GameCube title, Nintendo has now announced a new FREE update for Pikmin 4 for Switch and Switch 2, alongside a FREE demo so you can try it all out.

Just as we previously predicted (and hoped for) Nintendo has now officially announced that Luigi’s Mansion is the next game coming to the GameCube Nintendo Classics library for Switch 2. We knew it was coming at some point, and what better time than Halloween? 

After giving us a complete detailed look at the new Kirby Air Riders, including the November 11, 2025 release date, Nintendo has just taken to the official Nintendo Today! App and X to announce the details on the next Direct – another dedicated Kirby Air Riders show ahead of launch. 

Ahead of the official Switch 2 launch, rumors suggested we could be seeing some official dual-screen action on Nintendo’s new console by way of a secondary USB-C port. We already know there are some not so perfect workarounds for using  second display on Switch 2, even your iPad, but the real question is, and has been for some time, when is Nintendo bringing DS to Nintendo Classics and how is it going to deal with the second display setup on those games? A new patent suggests something might already be on the works. 

Update 8/13: This post has been updated with the official release date for Chibi-Robo!

The My Nintendo Store Switch 2 pre-order invites have gone out and that means the first chance to score one of the new wireless GameCube controllers has too, but the actual Switch Online GameCube library won’t launch until June 5 when the Switch 2 does. Nintendo announced that it would be bringing GameCube to its classics library for Switch Online + Expansion Pack members alongside the Switch 2, but there are a few things you need to know about it and we’ll have a look at all of the games we know are coming to the service thus far down below. 

Nintendo has now revealed a new set of Super Nintendo games landing on Nintendo Classics for Switch Online members. Last we checked in the Game Boy Advance lineup got a nice little update, but today we are turning our attention back to the iconic SNES with three new releases for the first October 2025 Games Update. 

The Nintendo Switch 2 and the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle are now readily available for purchase at Amazon with no invite needed. While these consoles have been up for grabs at retail online and in-store for some time now, Amazon’s invitation phase is over – if you have some Amazon gift cards and store credit in the holster, this might be your first chance to score a deal on the new Nintendo console. 

Just after the reveal of the Virtual Boy collection and some additions to the Switch Online GameCube and N64 libraries over the last couple months, Nintendo has announced a pair of new games coming to Nintendo Classics. This time around we are turning back to the handhelds titles with a pair of classic games for the Game Boy Advance lineup. 

As part of last week’s big September Nintendo Direct and the Mario 40th anniversary celebration, the new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle was announced for SWitch and Switch 2 alongside the official reveal The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. However, Nintendo also announced a special collectible to go along with both of them – Rosalina’s Storybook – pulled straight from the game and brought into real life. The new hardcover book is set for release in a couple months and is now available for pre-order at Amazon. 

Update 8/18: Nintendo has just released a new Overview Trailer for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, you’ll find it done below.

Update: Pre-orders on physical copies of the new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle are now live at Walmart and Target. 

Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary for Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo is ready to celebrate. During today’s Direct presentation it debuted a ton of exciting updates and new releases for Mario’s 40th, including a new teaser trailer and confirmation of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. However, on top of that we are also getting a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle release as well as two new companion amiibo figures too. 

Nintendo’s big September Direct went live yesterday with big-time announcements for Mario’s 40th anniversary, release dates for titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and some exciting new titles revealed for early next year. We have already detailed the new Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2 bundle as well as Virtual Boy for Switch Online and the new hardware, among others, but just about all of the new titles and amiibo Nintendo had on display yesterday are now up for pre-order at Amazon. 

During today’s lengthy Nintendo Direct, we did not get any updates on the Switch Online GameCube library, but Nintendo did officially announce Virtual Boy! It is ready to add an entirely new console to its Nintendo Classics collection in the form of the ultra-retro Virtual Boy library alongside an actual Virtual Boy peripheral you stick your Switch or Switch 2 inside of. Details below. 

Nintendo’s big September Direct is a wrap and it certainly did not disappoint for Mario’s big 40th anniversary. The first Super Mario Bros. game released almost exactly 40 years ago and Nintendo unsheathed this year’s celebration with a host of key announcements in the form of upgraded versions of beloved Mario classics, a new Switch 2 Edition of one of the best 2D Mario games of the modern era, the official announcement of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a new Yoshi game, the new Mario Tennis experience, and a even a talking flower. 

Today’s Nintendo Direct is a wrap and it has now announced the release date for its big holiday Switch 2 release – Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This is one of those games we knew about in an official capacity well before Switch 2 was even a thing, but it was also one of the more anticipated Switch 2 titles we knew about that didn’t have a release date…until now. 

Here we go! It’s Nintendo Direct day. Outside of the reveal and eventual release of Switch 2, today is arguably the biggest day of the year thus far for Nintendo gamers. Nintendo is set to host a massive Nintendo Direct livestream this morning, and it, by all accounts, looks like it’s going to be a big meaty one, filled with the new games and perhaps some big-time surprises. 

Nintendo Direct goes live this morning, and it’s going to be a big one folks. Nintendo has not been tight about livestream events in this the year of its new next-generation console, from three major dedicated showcases for its biggest new Switch 2 game releases, as well as an IndieWorld and a Partner Showcase that perhaps seemed worse then they were just because Silksong wasn’t in them. But Silksong has released, and we already have all the details and a release date on the new Kirby Air Riders – today’s show is going to be one of the biggest Nintendo Direct livestreams ever and the first proper showing since Switch 2 barely had a chance to touch down on store shelves before we all scooped them up.  

The first big animated Super Mario Bros. movie was beloved by just about everyone, and a major success for Nintendo. We already know it is officially in the lab on the sequel, or at least the next Mario movie, and with the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. just days away, we could be in for a major reveal. Considering tomorrow will see the biggest and longest proper Nintendo Direct basically ever, that reveal could be happening much sooner than later – right after leaks surfaced suggesting the next Mario movie is headed to the stars. 

The next Nintendo Direct went official this morning. After months of rumors of an official, proper Direct showcase, it is finally on the slate. Nintendo has been cranking these things out faster and more frequent than ever since Switch 2 hit store shelves, but they have largely come in the form of dedicated showcases for specific titles and those Direct side quests: IndieWorld and Partner Showcase. This week though, we get the real deal. 

It’s actually happening. The rumors were true. Nintendo has now officially confirmed the next Nintendo Direct and it is set to go live this Friday at the usual time. 

While we all eagerly await the rumored announcement of the September Nintendo Direct, we are also coming to realize this will be the first month without a single first-party Switch 2 release. Now clearly Hollow Knight: Silksong just broke the internet for a short time when it released last week, the eShop included, and that is frankly more than enough to keep most gamers busy all month long, but there are a host of other third-party games that have already and are still to land in September for Switch and Switch 2.
