‘Tetris 99’ gets a team battle mode
[ad_1] Rather than forming equally-sized teams, players choose any of the four teams they want to join. To compensate for lopsided teams, smaller groups get a boost in attack power. The group of the last player standing wins. As players get knocked out, they go into spectator mode and have to wait until the game […]
Nintendo Switch Online is adding ‘Star Fox 2′ and Super Punch Out!!’
[ad_1] Other SNES games coming to the catalog — and confirming a datamined leak earlier this year — include Kirby Super Star, Super Punch Out!! and Breath of Fire II. Nintendo isn’t stopping there, however, and will also include a couple of NES classics, Crystalis and Journey to Silius. The biggest news might be that […]
Nintendo’s SNES-style Switch controllers are now available
[ad_1] There’s not much mystery to the design — it’s a mild modernization of the classic pastel-colored controller with a wireless connection and USB-C charging. That might be enough for some, mind you, and it might be appealing if you’re more interested in faithfully recreating the SNES experience than including present-day bells and whistles. [ad_2] […]
Nintendo won’t deliver NES and SNES games to Switch on a regular schedule
[ad_1] The console maker didn’t explain why it’s shifting its strategy, although it may be a combination of a more established selection and avoiding conflicts.

Similar to a feature that Nintendo put in last year’s SNES Classic Edition and that […]
UK investigates Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony over game service practices
[ad_1] The move is the second part of the CMA’s response to a “super-complaint” on the loyalty penalty, or the tendency for some companies (not just in gaming) to punish long-serving customers by making it difficult or costly to leave. Officials emphasized that the investigation had only started, and that it might only take “enforcement […]
Switch Online adds ‘Punch-Out’ and ‘Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels’
[ad_1] Nintendo’s ever-growing library of NES classics that are playable on Switch will add two more entries on the 10th: Punch-Out!!!, Star Soldier and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Punch-Out!!! swaps in Mr. Dream for the game’s original boss Mike Tyson — hopefully without the Wii’s scaling-induced lag issues on HDTVs and with all […]
Now Amazon’s Twitch Prime comes with a year of Switch Online
[ad_1] Subscribers don’t get the full year free up front, however, so read the fine print. Those interested will need to head to Twitch’s website to claim 30 days free first, then come back after 60 days to claim another nine months of access. So while it’s a year total free, anyone wanting to enjoy […]
