With play activity available for 3DS and Wii U.

Nintendo has launched a storefront app – simply titled Nintendo Store – for Android and iOS, letting you browse everything including eShop titles, accessories, amiibo, apparel, and more.

Originally available exclusively in Japan as the ‘My Nintendo’ app, this has now been updated and reworked for worldwide use. It’s not quite a dedicated experience, mind you, since clicking on any given product will take you through to the relevant page in your default browser.

The Mario and Zelda movies are just the start.

Nintendo’s movie business is already booming following the release of the Mario Movie in 2023, which was a global box office hit.

The new hybrid system has now sold over 10 million units.

As we’ve now seen, Switch 2 sales have seemingly exceeded Nintendo’s expectations, after shifting 10.36 million units as of 30th September 2025. This has also reportedly resulted in a slump in Switch sales, with Nintendo cutting back its forecast of the original hybrid system.

Fragments of a New Future?

The Dragon Quest train just isn’t slowing down; despite the fact we just got Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, we’re actually just months away (5th February 2026) from the arrival of Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined on Switch 1 & 2, and there’s plenty to be excited about.

Game Informer has spent some exclusive time at Square Enix’s Shibuya, Tokyo offices, and that also involves chatting to the game’s producer, Takeshi Ichikawa, who has shared some interesting news about the upcoming game — it’ll have a “new conclusion”.

This is the Raye.

Holiday season is almost upon us (this writer’s local supermarket rolled out the advent calendars weeks ago), and Nintendo UK is equally keen to spread some festive cheer with its new TV ads.

This year’s offering once again puts the record-breaking singer-songwriter star Raye front and centre, showing that even Brit-winners like to let off some steam with a few rounds of Mario Party Jamboree.

You can pet the Vulpo.

Hibernian Workshop’s ace roguelike Astral Ascent has done a fair amount of growing since it first launched on Switch back in 2023. The release of the ver. 2.0 update and ‘Outer Reaches’ DLC mean the game is almost twice as big as it was to begin with, and it will soon be getting even bigger… and cuter.

That’s because the dev has revealed a new DLC, ‘Celestial Haven’, which will be coming to Steam later this month, with a Switch release following “shortly after”, and it is packed (we mean packed) with adorable little pets.

Some PS5 players are even getting refunds.

Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection has not launched in the best state.

Indeed, while we heaped praise on the game for its excellent interactive documentary and wide selection of games in our 7/10 review, we noted that the online functionality is simply not up to scratch at the moment. Additionally, an issue in which lowering the in-game difficulty setting doesn’t provide adequate respite for players struggling against the AI has also been acknowledged by developer Digital Eclipse.

Only 10,000 units separate it from the DS.

We’ve been positively itching to see the latest financial report from Nintendo, as we had expected the Switch to finally surpass the Nintendo DS and become the company’s best-selling console of all time.

Alas, that hasn’t quite happened yet. At 154.01 million units, the Switch is a mere 10,000 units away from the DS, and considering the data is only viable to the end of September 2025, it’s likely that the gap has already been closed in the couple of months following.

Listen to this.

Last week, Nintendo surprised fans with the announcement Animal Crossing: New Horizons would be getting a 3.0 Update and Switch 2 Upgrade early next year.
