The real Nintendo PlayStation cost somebody $360,000, but you can make your own with a saw, some hot glue, and a vague sense of despair

A group of Super Mario Maker players are attempting to beat every level ever created by other users before the Wii U's online services shut down for good. With the Nintendo Switch currently being the Japanese game giant's focus, Nintendo has been phasing out the services of its previous consoles, the Wii U and 3DS. While fans knew that these were being shut down, Nintendo finally confirmed the exact date the Wii U and 3DS servers will go offline. This closure will affect all games released on these systems that have online play and communication, such as the first Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario Maker.

As Nintendo has proven over the last several years, they’re dedicated to not just making the best video games possible featuring their IPs but trying to take those IPs and bring them to new places so that they can “lure in” new people to check them out. Last year, they released the first of what might be a grand movie slate, with Mario’s first animated feature not only getting nominated for awards but also bringing in over 1.3 billion dollars! Then, there’s Super Nintendo World, the amusement that Nintendo has built with Universal Studios. The park already has locations in Japan and California, and Orlando is set to drop soon.

Nintendo will stream its previously planned Legend of Zelda and Splatoon live concerts.

A Palword player found a new way to keep their entire base lit at night by using a makeshift invention. Base building is a core aspect of Palworld, giving players good reason to think up new ways to improve their bases.

A PlayStation developer has revealed that the company is planning a large array of PC ports of their top games later in the year.

It seems that Nintendo's original plan for Pokemon Stadium was even wilder than what we got, according to a recently unearthed speech from the late Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi.

A new ride for the upcoming Donkey Kong-themed section of Universal Studios Japan's Super Nintendo World will give parkgoers a very hands-on and thrilling series throwback, according to reports. The attraction apparently uses a simple yet clever design to provide this experience.

Now that Nintendo has practically exhausted the potential for revamped releases from the Wii U catalogue, it’s started to look further back in time.

Nintendo has announced that it’s making a donation to the Japanese Red Cross Society to support those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake, which struck Japan on January 1.

From the very first time I played a Pokemon game, I've wished the world in which the games take place could be a reality, and I know I'm not the only one. Pokemon Go might be the closest we ever get to that reality, but it comes with one key flaw. You might be able to see the Pokemon, but you can't pet and physically interact with them. For that, you need plushes, and Pokemon has a selection of soft toys that have been crafted to the exact dimensions those Pokemon are given in the game.

Hi-Rez Studios revealed Smite 2, the sequel to its third-person MOBA Smite, and confirmed that the upcoming title was built using Unreal Engine 5. Smite 2 was revealed nearly a decade after the full release of Smite, and Hi-Rez Studios answered a few questions that players had concerning how their efforts and unlocks from Smite would carry over into Smite 2.

What does it mean to be “dominant?” Well, there are levels to it, as many will agree. There is short-term dominance, and there is long-term dominance. In sports, you can be dominant for a season and then earn the title that “you deserve” because you blasted everything in your path on the way to that title. But if you have long-term dominance, you’re a dynasty. A legacy that can’t be overcome unless someone tops you. Given the nature of the gaming industry, you might think there are no such “dynasties” to be had. But with Nintendo, they have a streak going in Japan that will likely be hard to top.
