It’s that time of the year again, Switch fans. As the end of December approaches, Nintendo once again has opened the doors to the Nintendo Switch Year in Review.

The fun in these yearly recaps is to see how much time you dedicated to your favorite hobbies—in this case, playing the games you love—and some cool stats like when you played the most. Here is all you need to know about how to access your Nintendo Switch Year in Review 2024 and what you can expect from it.

Nintendo might still be tight-lipped about the Switch’s successor, but one fan on Reddit claims they got ahold of the final product with tons of details to share. Others, however, aren’t buying into it just yet.

On Dec. 14, a post on X (formerly Twitter) began circulating with alleged new details on the Nintendo Switch’s successor from a random redditor. The fan not only claimed to have the final product in their possession but also said they’d “post proof” on Christmas. Is this the gift we’ve been waiting for this holiday season? Maybe not.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete has finally been released in all relevant app stores, offering players a one-time purchase to fully experience everything the app has on offer. The original Pocket Camp mobile app included in-app purchases, cosmetics, and currencies that players come to expect from free-to-play mobile games.

Now that the original app is slowly being phased out, fans can purchase Pocket Camp Complete to transfer their saved data over and continue to play the game indefinitely. If you’re curious about what has changed and what’s included when purchasing Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete, look no further.

Nintendo launched a complete version of Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp with new features, and one of the them is Camper Cards, which will bring further customization into the game and will help connect players now that the game is offline.

What are Camper Cards in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Complete?

Camper Cards are a way for players to visit each other even though the game is now offline. They are digital trading cards that players can customize with their avatar and favorite villager while sharing their QR code with other players so they can visit your camp.

Images of a supposed Switch 2 leaked online today, showcasing the console and some concept images of how it might look—but not everyone is convinced it’s real.

Over the past couple of hours, the images sprung up on X (formerly Twitter) and other social media sites, showcasing a console that appears to be a Switch with a bigger screen. Everything we expect from a Switch appears in these images, including detachable, though different-looking, Joy-Con controllers and a larger stand that pops out of the back of the system.

The PlayStation 5 Pro was officially announced in a short presentation early this morning, and comes with a ton of new features. But the question remains as to whether or not gamers will embrace this upgrade, which might not be so easy considering the steep price tag.

As of right now, the PS5 Pro is priced at $699 US, and is even more expensive in other places across the world. Judging by the reactions from gamers on X/Twitter, many find this price point outrageous, especially considering the disc drive and vertical stand are each sold separately.

Nintendo is back again with another Nintendo Direct. However, don’t expect the gaming giant to address the obvious elephant in the room.

Today, Nintendo announced that their next presentation is scheduled for Aug. 27 at 9am CT. This presentation will consist of two different shows: a partner showcase featuring upcoming Nintendo Switch games coming from third-party developers, and an Indie World showcase showing off upcoming games from smaller studios and independent developers. Both of these shows are airing back to back, and are scheduled to run for roughly 40 minutes. Nintendo Directs are always a big deal for Switch owners, and now we are getting two for the price of one all in one morning.

After nearly seven years online, Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp will be shutting down. To replace the disappearing game, Nintendo will be creating an offline version.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp was a part of Nintendo’s push into the mobile space, but the game’s live service aspects will completely shutter on Nov. 28. Despite that, Nintendo has shown mindfulness toward the title’s preservation, as Pocket Camp’s developers plan on releasing a version of the game to enjoy offline. The team states that more information regarding these changes will arrive “around October.”

Nintendo has unveiled details about a new memorial museum themed around the company, and some of the items on display may shock even long-time fans.

In a short livestream, Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario, walked through the museum and gave the world an exclusive look at what Nintendo has in store for visitors. Alongside the showcase of the museum, the livestream served as a history lesson about Nintendo.

It used to be a tradition that with each upcoming Olympic Games, there would be a new installment in the Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games series.

A crossover sports game where Mario and Sonic’s friends come together and compete in various Olympic events, the Mario & Sonic series began with the Beijing 2008 games and most recently released the Tokyo 2020 edition a few years ago. So why no Paris 2024 version? According to one of the former developers, a number of factors behind the scenes with the International Olympic Committee has led to the series’ cancellation In a report from Eurogamer, former Mario & Sonic developer Lee Cocker said the IOC didn’t want to continue with the franchise to make more money. Their pursuit of partnerships both in the upcoming esports scene and NFTs were the main reasons for the series ending.
