What is Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream?

It is the latest entry in the Tomodachi Life series and a direct sequel to the 3DS cult classic. Released on April 16, 2026, for the Nintendo Switch, it features your Mii characters living on a customizable island where they interact, get into wacky situations, and form relationships. Thanks to the Switch’s power, Miis are no longer confined to just the apartment building; they can explore a much larger island. There are more options for character creation, including pronouns and expanded dating preferences. The game introduces new locations, such as the “Fresh Kingdom” food shop and the “Wher

How Much Will Pokemon Winds and Waves Cost?

An Amazon listing in Germany has Pokemon Winds and Waves priced at €79.99. That suggests the games could cost players in the U.S. $79.99, which is the same price as Mario Kart World.

Shuntaro Furukawa said, “We are preparing new titles in addition to those we have already announced and will communicate the details at the appropriate time.” A June Nintendo Direct would be an obvious place to debut new software and encourage holdouts to upgrade to the latest handheld. Summer titles like Splatoon Raiders may appear, but fans are also hoping for a

When is Zelda Coming to Switch 2?

Other Zelda fans may only be interested in the real deal, and that's understandable. Nintendo has yet to officially announce the first Zelda Switch 2 game, but reputable leakers have claimed that an Ocarina of Time remake is in development for the console and aiming for release this holiday season. Nintendo is most likely going to host a Nintendo Direct in June where it will announce all its big upcoming Switch 2 games, and if that event comes to pass as expected, one has to imagine that the Ocarina of Time remake will be revealed at that point. If so, between a potential Ocarina of Time revea
