Hope you like the idea of taking Bethesda games with you on the go, Switch owners.

Nintendo's phone app for the Switch was updated today, fixing two really annoying issues with voice chat.

Kicking off tomorrow morning, Nintendo's got a brand new direct - and this one's going to run for nearly 45 minutes. Tune in here.

"The Switch is a punk console," says game director Goichi Suda, aka Suda 51. "I was shocked by it. I thought, whoever made this must have something wrong with them. In a positive way. This guy must be messed up in the head to think of something like this."

There was a time, so many years ago now, when it felt like we had too much Metroid. The simultaneous launch of Prime and Fusion in 2002, followed up with another one-two volley of Metroids two years later. "Slow down!" we cried. "We can't keep up with all this Metroid!"

After disappearing from store shelves, the NES Classic is returning next year. But that isn't all: The Super NES Classic will continue to be shipped through 2018. In Japan, the Super Famicom will still get shipped after October, and the Famicom Mini is going back into production. Hot damn.

Two days ago, dragonbane0 set a new speedrun world record for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. It was his first time running the game outside of practice. He's now revealed that the speedrun was cheated using WiiU modding tools that he's releasing to the wider community.

When Splatoon 2 launched, the Stingray was a special that sounded neat on paper. A giant blast of paint, firing across the map, dousing all in sight. In practice, not so much. But the most recent patch to Splatoon 2 has added some oomph back to the Stingray, and it's becoming a new favourite of mine.

Last month, Final Fantasy 15 director Hajime Tabata teased a version of his game for the Nintendo Switch. But when I asked him about that port to Nintendo's hot new console, he wanted me to share a different message: He can't actually find one.

It's super annoying that Splatoon 2's maps rotate, and that you can't play Salmon Run all the time. One of the two Western designers at Nintendo says it comes down to the vastly different ways the Japanese developers approach game design.

Nintendo has been giving Breath of the Wild players free items for reading the Switch's news feed. It's a little broken.

Arms' guard button and other controls have been an issue for players, but that might turn around in a coming patch. Today, Nintendo tweeted that in the upcoming Arms Version 3 patch, players will be able to remap their controls.

The Switch is such a familiar part of the gaming landscape now that it's strange to consider that Nintendo's hybrid device is about to head into its first holiday season. What's even stranger is that for Baby's First Christmas, Nintendo's lineup is overloaded with deep single-player fantasy adventures: Role-playing games Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles, and the RPG-tinged action of Fire Emblem Warriors.

Monster Hunter Stories takes the popular hunting series and mixes it up into an adorable roleplaying game all about hatching cool critters.

With the impending demise of Nintendo's Miiverse, some users are resorting to manually saving their images. Others, though, are looking for a solution that's a little more comprehensive.

The Nintendo Switch is a hit, especially in Japan. But before the hardware was released, Pokemon Company CEO Tsunekazu Ishihara told Nintendo it wasn't going to be successful.

Remember what the internet was like in 2001? If you don't, check out the Japanese Nintendo 64 website. The site is still live, and it's a reminder of internet yesteryear.

Last week, Nintendo quietly uploaded the digital manual for Star Fox 2, which will be included on this month's SNES Classic hardware. But what's really interesting is that said manual included a whole batch of concept art and game design documents for the canceled Super FX Chip shooter.

Much like the game's Mad Mallard, a soldier helmet-wearing waterfowl who lays exploding eggs, the upcoming remake of Secret of Mana is an odd duck.
