Detective Pikachu Story Trailer February 23, 2018

A lot of people have been curious about the plot of Detective Pikachu. It isn’t a main Pokémon title as much as it is a side story in the Pokémon world involving a special talking Pikachu. Together, you can interview witnesses and solve puzzles to help you investigate mysteries throughout the region. Now, Nintendo has just released this new trailer for the game which takes a closer look at the game’s story, enjoy.

I’m happy this is finally coming to the West.

Detective Pikachu is coming March 2018 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

Splatoon 2 Love/Money Splatfest Starts Tonight February 16, 2018

Splatoon 2 players should fire up their Nintendo Switch consoles and prepare to pick sides because the next Splatfest starts tonight. Splatfest is an important event in the Splatoon franchise where players take sides on important issues, with winning teams getting special goodies. This weekend’s Splatfest will go on for exactly 24 hours starting at Midnight tonight. The winner will be determined shortly after the event concludes.

So what is at stake this time? The answer appears to be the very core of humanity. The game’s developers are taking inspiration from the Valentine’s Day holiday and are asking their players the hard question, do you prefer Love or Money? Players can make their team selection right now but just be aware that once a team is selected, you won’t be able to change it.

Good luck to everyone! May your ink be only on your enemies.

Splatoon 2 is out now exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.

Ready Player One “Come With Me” Trailer February 16, 2018

Ernest Cline wrote a love letter to nerdy culture with his novel Ready Player One. This March, it is going to be released as a major motion picture.

How many references can you recognize? Post what you spotted in the comments section below.

Ready Player One is coming to theaters in March 2018.

Kingdom Hearts III D23 Tokyo 2018 Trailer February 11, 2018

We’ve been waiting quite a long time to see the newest game in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. We know it is coming to the Xbox One and PS4, but we haven’t seen much news about it since 2.8 HD released on the PS4. This weekend, Disney unveiled the newest trailer for Kingdom Hearts III at D23 Expo Tokyo, which shows an all-new world we will be visiting in the game, the world of Monsters, Inc.

If you liked that, I’m happy to say that’s not all the Kingdom Hearts news we have for you today. Every Kingdom Hearts game has begun with a song performed by the singer Utada, and Kingdom Hearts III will be no different. Here is the all-new theme song for the game, “Don’t Think Twice”.

Kingdom Hearts III is coming later this year to Xbox One and PS4.

Switch Rewards Coming to My Nintendo in Early March February 8, 2018

Got some highly-anticipated news for you all today. Nintendo’s digital rewards service, My Nintendo, provides Nintendo customers with point rewards ranging from purchasing games to completing tasks in Nintendo’s various smartphone titles. These points could be redeemed for rewards ranging from wallpapers, 3DS themes, Wii U DLC, or discounts on select 3DS or Wii U eShop titles. Rewards change frequently so it is a good idea to stay up to date with the latest offerings by visiting the website at least once a month.

However, while Nintendo Switch owners could earn points from their digital and retail purchases on the Switch, Nintendo does not currently offer any digital rewards for Switch owners. The Switch has been out for almost a year and has a larger install base than the Wii U, so many players have been asking Nintendo when they plan to offer rewards to Switch owners. Today, Nintendo finally revealed they will be offering rewards redeemable for Nintendo Switch content starting in early March!

Sadly, Nintendo has not yet revealed what rewards they will be offering for Switch owners, but they have several options. There are several digital titles on the Switch’s eShop they could offer. Also, it would be nice to see something like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s Season Pass as a potential reward.

If you are a Switch owner and haven’t signed up for My Nintendo, you can do so here. You’ll just need to sign in with the Nintendo account you use on your Switch. If you’re a 3DS or Wii U owner its a good idea to link your Nintendo Network account, as that will add rewards made from future purchases on those consoles to your account balance.
