Nintendo

In March, Nintendo announced that Dragalia Lost, an action RPG game, was going to be shut down after four years of availability. At the time, the company only said it would be discontinued later this year, and now Nintendo has confirmed the end-of-service date.

Nintendo on Tuesday released an update to its Nintendo Switch Online app, which lets Nintendo Switch owners access game-specific services, find online friends, and use voice chat during online matches through a smartphone or tablet. With the update, users can finally send friend requests directly from the app.

Nintendo Switch owners will soon have to make sure they’re running the latest version of iOS on their iPhones and iPads, at least if they want to continue having access to the Nintendo Switch Online app. The Japanese game company will no longer support older iPhone and iPad models in its app.

Today, Nintendo announced that it will shut down another mobile game. Dragalia Lost is set to come to an end by July of 2022. Although the company doesn’t disclaim when the game will be gone from the App Store, there’s already a date when the latest content update will be available.

When Nintendo announced that their next collaboration with Niantic Labs was going to be Pikmin-branded, I was surprised. The Pikmin brand isn’t well-known outside of deeply passionate circles of Nintendo fans. But I think that’s about to change with Pikmin Bloom, the latest Nintendo mobile game that hit the App Store today in the United States.

It’s been almost five years since Nintendo released the Nintendo Switch. As it readies the new model coming up next month, the company finally addressed a long wish from its users: the ability to connect AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones to the console.

Mamma mia! Nintendo announced today that it’s killing another mobile game. Dr. Mario World, which launched two years ago, will be discontinued on November 1, 2021, at 6 a.m. (UTC).

It’s been five years since the release of Pokémon Go, the augmented reality game created from a partnership between Nintendo and Niantic that has become a huge worldwide success. Now the two companies are teaming up again to develop a new AR title of the Pikmin franchise for mobile platforms.

Mario Kart Tour for iPhone and iPad will finally add support for landscape mode in an update being released tomorrow. Once this update is available, you’ll be able to play Mario Kart Tour in landscape orientation, with a new set of controls to match.

For those who don’t know me very well, I am an unapologetic Nintendo fanboy. Almost everything they produce is a masterpiece to me. I was even a fan of the poorly-received Wii U and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might be the best video game I’ve ever played. So what’s my take on Nintendo’s newly released Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp for iOS so far? It’s only been out for a few hours (one day sooner than expected) and it’s already great although there are a few key downsides to expect.
