Almost a year after it came to every other platform, Skyrim: Anniversary Edition surprise-launched on the Nintendo Switch today. The newest version of the beloved 2011 open-world RPG includes a bunch of DLC, mod content, and fishing. It’s also $70 on Nintendo’s handheld hybrid. Gotham Knights and Callisto Protocol aren’t coming to Switch, but apparently the price point is, at least in this one odd instance.

Nintendo is well-known for its many video game successes, such as the older Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo Switch. Behind all of its successful consoles, however,

Company shares statement after Sony raised PS5 prices

Denuvo, the company best known for its heavily-criticized PC gaming DRM technology, has set its sights on a new scourge: Nintendo Switch piracy. The software maker announced during GamesCom 2022 on Wednesday that it will begin selling a new product called Nintendo Switch Emulator Protection to prevent Switch games from being pirated on PC.

Nintendo is not currently considering raising prices for its flagship Switch video game system to offset rising production and shipping costs, President Shuntaro Furukawa told Nikkei, stressing that the company wants to "avoid pricing people out."

Nintendo's Switch sales fell significantly last quarter, dropping to 3.43 million units compared to 4.45 million during the same period last year, according to its earnings report. Software sales also fell to 41.4 million units compared to 45.3 million year over year. All that that resulted in an operating profit of 101.6 billion yen ($763 million), down from last year and short of what was expected.

According to VGChartz statistics, the total global sales of Nintendo’s console Switch reached 110 million, which is about to break the record of Sony’s PS4. And according to the current trend, the sales of the Nintendo console Switch may even exceed the highest sales in history created by the Sony PS2.

Few video games trust their audience quite like Super Metroid. Despite releasing nearly a full decade after the original Metroid, Super’s mere premise is predicated on a firm understanding of the series’ lore. Exploration is non-linear and in the spirit of M1, but Planet Zebes is so much bigger this time around that inattentive players will eventually trick themselves into believing they got stuck somewhere.

The acquisition is expected to complete in October.

A new 2D Donkey Kong game is reportedly not in development, contrary to prior rumors claiming this to be the case.

It’s summertime in many parts of the world, including Japan. The country experiences notoriously hot and humid summers. For example, Tokyo’s average temperature during summertime averages at 27°C (80°F). Nintendo Support of Japan kept people, and their Nintendo Switches, in mind, though. The official Twitter account spread some public reminders to help customers avoid Switch overheating issues.

Game Boy Advance but for the previous decade

Nintendo needs no introduction, but if you are unfamiliar with the company’s long history, it was founded in 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, and the company mainly made hanafuda playing cards. Over its lifetime, the company has become the most successful, selling various consoles and some classic games, including Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Kirby, Pokémon, and so much more.

A gamer said he spent over 5.6 million Japanese yen — or over $40,000 US dollars — on Nintendo stock, and used his opportunity to ask a question during the Japanese gaming giant's annual shareholder meeting Wednesday about a fan-favorite series he wants to see revived.

Nintendo appreciates its passionate and patient fan base, but says it's difficult to make (and remake) all the games it's asked for. At the company's annual general meeting (independently translated by IGN), Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa was asked if there were any plans to release remakes or new entries in long-dormant franchises such as F-Zero.

I used to marvel at all the indie games I could finally play. Now I've already got access to them elsewhere for cheaper.

At long last, it appears the Metroid Prime trilogy is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. Metroid Prime Remastered is reportedly only a few months away, with remastered versions of the second and third games also planned.

It’s hard to believe that already a year and a half has passed since the Nintendo 3DS family of handhelds ceased production. Obviously, Nintendo saw no further need to keep the product afloat amid rocketing sales of the hybrid Switch, a console that has now claimed fifth place in all-time hardware sales — a particularly startling feat considering it has only been on the market for five years.
