A popular YouTube channel dedicated to sharing video game music was recently hit with over a hundred copyright claims, the latest to fall under intense scrutiny as Nintendo appears to be ramping up efforts to prevent the illicit distribution of its music.

It's another sign esports are becoming more mainstream.

Dr. Mario World generated $1.4 million in player spending and was installed 7.5 million times in its first month, Sensor Tower Store Intelligence data shows.

Last week, we broke down the evidence that Nintendo was working on a new model of the standard Switch to go alongside the recently announced, portable-only Switch Lite. Today, Nintendo confirmed the existence of that new model via product page listings that promise improved battery life over the existing Switch.

Nintendo Switch has sold more than 36.87 million units worldwide, but, given that success, Electronic Arts hasn’t thrown their development talent behind the portable home console.

When most people think of Nintendo, they probably think of Super Mario and Donkey Kong and Mario Kart. They almost certainly aren't thinking of Nintendo's handheld consoles first and foremost, but maybe they should be. Those consoles — the Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS — are the company's best sellers. In fact, the Nintendo DS is the best-selling Nintendo game console ever made, with over 150 million units sold.

And a handful of publishers, too.

For months, Nintendo Switch users have been plagued by what’s become known as “Joy-Con drift.” Although they’re not touching the joystick on their Nintendo Switch controller, the console still thinks it’s moving. With no permanent fix being offered by Nintendo, they’re just sick of it.

Talk of Switch Joy-Con drift has been part of the discussion with fans since day one, but a recent thread on Reddit seems to have reignited the anger from fans all over. Some players have experience Joy-Con drift, with their joysticks reading input that the player isn't doing, and others haven't had an issue. Those who suffer from the problem are looking for Nintendo to offer up a fix, and now a law firm is taking matters into their own hands.

The Nintendo Switch is getting two more Resident Evil ports. Nintendo and Capcom announced during a Nintendo Direct E3 2019 presentation that Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 will be released for Switch this fall.

Nintendo shares reached a nine-month high on Thursday after the platform holder announced plans to release a handheld-only Switch console later this year.

Wednesday's announcement of the Switch Lite put to rest months of credible rumors that a miniature, portable-focused Switch was on the horizon. But Nintendo still has yet to confirm the other side of some of those rumors: suggestions that the company is planning to upgrade the Switch's internal hardware in the near future.

Everyone and their Undodog seems to be launching their own Switch accessories at the moment, but this new project stands out from the rest thanks to its nifty, detachable design. The Grip Clip is a new accessory now funding on Kickstarter. It comes in three parts - two chunky controller grips that attach to each of your Joy-Con, and a third central part which can combine the set to work just like Nintendo's own Joy-Con Grip.

Have you ever played a game for hours or days, only to find a technique, weapon or option tucked away in a labyrinthine menu that radically changes how you play the game, or makes it instantly easier? It can be a welcome feeling, realizing that a difficult task is now made trivial. But it can be equally infuriating, knowing that the hours behind you have been ground out doing unnecessary work.

If you’re living in Japan and modifying save data on Nintendo Switch, you’d probably want to stop whatever you’re doing right now. Japanese lawmakers have recently passed an amendment to the Unfair Competition Prevention Law. The amendment, in layman’s terms, has made the modification of video game save data illegal in Japan.
