On Thursday, the company sent an email to third-party dealers, saying they would need approval to sell used Nintendo Games. Turns out the email was actually sent out in error, Amazon claims.

Like a DIY homeowner, Nintendo loves to tinker with its franchises, rarely content with the original blueprints enough to merely rely on lazy (and often profitable) property development. Their latest fixer-upper project is Luigi’s Mansion 3, which seeks to nail down a few loose boards in the previous game’s design

Rule about "Nintendo products" goes into effect as soon as it's announced.

Reggie Fils-Aimé may no longer be the president of Nintendo, but he's forever in our hearts – and, if he keeps giving lectures on his time with the Japanese company like the one he did yesterday at Cornell University, that's going to be the case for a long time.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is now well and truly available on Nintendo Switch - and well worth playing, too - but there's even more Witcher goodness to come. That's right, you'll soon be able to play the game with an officially licensed controller (or any other game, for that matter).

Nintendo has kicked off its marketing campaign for Nintendo Switch Lite, in a pair of videos published on its UK and Japan YouTube channels. In the Western advert the platform holder promotes Lite as a companion device to the original Switch model, noting that the new hardware is “dedicated to handheld play.”

Comfortable and capable, the Switch Lite is the definitive Nintendo handheld device.

Shigeru Miyamoto is a titan in the video game industry, having created beloved franchises such as "Mario Bros." and "The Legend of Zelda." For his work, he is being awarded the "Person of Cultural Merit" by the Japanese government on November 3.

Nintendo's president has confirmed the company's plan to bring more of its 3DS franchises to the Switch platform in the future, according to a WSJ reporter.

Nintendo sometimes makes a big deal about milestones—Mario's 30th, Zelda's 25th, and the "Year of Luigi" are all recent examples that come to mind—but one thing you won't usually hear them mention is how long it's been since something went away. Luckily, my encyclopedic knowledge of pointless factoids stands at the ready!

In the century and a bit since its founding in 1889, Nintendo has made playing cards, designed toys, hired out taxis and briefly run love hotels, but it is the last 40 years or so that have made it a cultural icon. Having dabbled in the video games business throughout the 1970s, in the 1980s Nintendo released the Game & Watch and the Nintendo Entertainment System, and since then it has introduced hundreds of millions of people to the joy of video games – from 90s kids squinting at monochrome...

Nintendo Labo VR, the cardboard accessory kit for the Switch, is up against a lot of expectations as the company’s official foray into virtual reality. It’s the fourth installment of the Labo series, which first launched one year ago to mixed reviews. Parents and schools lauded its tactile building experience and programming features as creative educational tools for kids, while some critics dismissed it as a novelty item that lost its fun after the first few plays.

The Nintendo Switch’s latest major update, Switch Firmware 8.0.0, was released last week and it included a ton of additions like a software sorting function and Save Data transferring to another system function. There was another addition however that Nintendo didn’t mention in the patch notes – “boost mode”.

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 was one of the big surprises to emerge from Nintendo's E3 2019 press conference, and while the publisher didn't let too much slip during the Direct stream itself, it has now teased a little more information on the upcoming sequel.

The Witcher III: Wild Hunt is a large game in several ways. Before its announcement during Nintendo's E3 2019 Direct, many doubted its huge world could be squeezed onto Switch's mobile chipset, but it seems that Saber Interactive has (hopefully) found a way.

Mario’s maker is keeping an eye on streaming games

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.

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.

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.
