Nintendo has rolled out a new update for the Switch and it bumps the hybrid device up to version 10.1.0. This is the smallest update that's been released in recent months, and according to the official support patch notes, sees the return of sweet stability improvements.

Nintendo's hybrid video game console, the Nintendo Switch, has surpassed 60 million units sold to consumers worldwide, according to [...]

Coronavirus or COVID-19 is a major concern for the whole world right now. Talking about the video game industry, the majority of the game developers have withdrawn from the annual conferences like E3, Gamescom and even GDC. Recently, we’re seeing more and more game studios implementing the “work from home” policy which is probably a step in the right direction.

We asked Nightdive Studios about what's new with Doom 64, and whether the Unmaker is a better weapon than the BFG9000.

Nintendo has acknowledged reports of unauthorised account logins this month and said it’s investigating the situation. More than 50 users replied to Twitter and Resetera threads last weekend claiming to have had their Nintendo accounts illegally accessed.

Make your own super Mario world

Just three days after its debut, Animal Crossing: New Horizons catapulted past titles such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Fifa 20 to claim the top spot on the official UK games chart. The sequel to Wild World, City Folk and New Leaf, New Horizons sold more physical copies in its first week than the launch sales of all its sister titles combined, becoming the biggest single game launch on Nintendo Switch ever.

On the surface, a video game that Wired has described as “late-stage capitalism with talking squirrels” — in which players, among other things, borrow vast sums of money from the owner of a town shop to build out an island whose resources they plunder over time — doesn’t necessarily seem like it jives with the politics of New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Nevertheless, the freshman Democratic socialist has been spending her time like millions of gamers around the world during the coronavirus pandemic.

“All I’m doing is putting the solder on,” says installer, who doesn’t sell the chips.

Nintendo has come out with a lot of ports over the last few years for the Nintendo Switch. Many have talked about a Zelda HD Collection, but if there’s one game that needs to come out for the Switch, it’s The Wind Waker. It’s not only one of the best Zelda games, but one of the best games on both the Wii U and the Nintendo GameCube. It has a charm that so many other games, including Zelda titles, lack. Its story is arguably the best, up there with Skyward Sword. Its endearing and the graphical style still holds up today; even the GameCube version.

During a recent financial Q&A, Nintendo finally apologized for issues caused by Joy-Cons but will not comment further due to the current class-action lawsuit.

Nintendo Co.’s new gaming console Switch is part of a bigger plan that will include more accessories, a deeper lineup of software and possible tie-ups with other technologies.

The Nintendo Switch has the opportunity to be for VR what the Wii was to expanding the audience for gaming. During Nintendo's Switch presentation, several big announcements were made- the console will cost $299.99, be region free and is set to be launched on March 3, 2017 in North America,  Asia and Europe. Something that Nintendo showed off at the start of the show were the Joy-Con controllers- the tiny handheld input devices that can be detached and swung around like Wiimotes are going to be very, very important to the Nintendo Switch- but not necessarily in the most obvious of ways.

Some dates shuffled, but it looks pretty settled by now

Nintendo's latest console, the Switch, is set to be released on March 3, 2017- one of the biggest criticism's of Nintendo's yet-to-be released console has thus far been its rather sparse launch lineup. While The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild certainly looks incredible, the other games teased, while they look fun, don't seem to be big system sellers. Nintendo is painfully aware of this, and has turned to showcasing its indie games- they released a video showing off some of the indie games coming to the system, and they’ve announced that over sixty indie games are on track to be released in 2017. Here are five games worth checking.

The Nintendo Switch is literally releasing in a few hours and there has been a TON of HYPE leading up to this, Nintendo's newest console, but when you stop to look at it, the Switch is a pretty bizarre system. The Switch promises the most advanced Rumble features ever, but lags behind the PlayStation and Xbox when it comes to graphics quality. Nintendo keeps pushing it as a portable gaming device, and yet we all have mobile gaming devices in our pockets in the form of smart phones. So what gives?

If your Switch suffers from one or more dead pixels, Nintendo may not see it as a defect, but as a consumer you have rights. It's been a very long time since I purchased an electronic device with a display that had dead pixels. I thought, like I'm sure many others do, that dead pixels were a problem solved by improvements in manufacturing. However, it's 2017 and Nintendo just launched a new product that suffers from them. Worse than that, though, they aren't being classed as a defect.

What's it like creating or porting a game for Nintendo's new console? Gamasutra spoke to representatives from nine different indie studios about their experiences developing for the device.

Days after the Nintendo Switch was released, owners of the console have started reporting various issues, including screen scratches from the dock and the Joy-Con connectivity issue. The latter issue has reportedly been caused due to its antenna design and placement, and Nintendo of America’s president and chief operating officer Fils-Aimé have released more information on the issues.

Suffice to say that for those that didn't happen to snatch up a Nintendo Switch on launch day (or even a little before) it's exceedingly difficult, if not outright impossible to secure one now. As it stands, it'll probably be like this for the foreseeable near future, but it seems like the early response has spurred Nintendo on to pick up production significantly.
