Nintendo 3DS

Between the upcoming releases of Pokken Tournament DX on the Switch, Pokemon Gold and Silver on the 3DS Virtual Console, and Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon on 3DS proper, we have a lot of Pokemon on the way. What better time, then, to introduce a new Pokemon-themed 2DS XL? Nintendo has done just that, and it has revealed that this special edition console will be here in time for the launch of Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon.

It wasn’t too long ago, less than month actually, when Nintendo revealed a massive list of indie games that will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. Apparently it was just getting started. At its latest Nintendo Direct, the Japanese gaming giant shared an equally massive amount of news for the Switch again. But this time, to prove it hasn’t abandoned its other gaming handheld, it is also giving 3DS and 2DS owners some good news as well.

In case you missed it, Nintendo is planning a rather long Nintendo Direct broadcast for later today. Back when the live stream was announced on Monday, Nintendo said that it will cover the games coming to both the Switch and the 3DS over the next few months. A main focus of the show will be Super Mario Odyssey, so if you've been looking forward to that, you'll definitely want to tune in.

As rumored, Nintendo will indeed be hosting a new Nintendo Direct live stream this week. The company announced this Nintendo Direct broadcast today, shying away from getting too specific about what to expect. We do know, however, that the broadcast will clock in at 45 minutes long, so it definitely sounds like Nintendo will have a lot to show.

Pokemon and Fire Emblem fans might want to have a look at a pair of new bundles Nintendo revealed today. For the upcoming releases of Pokemon UltraSun/UltraMoon and Fire Emblem Warriors, Nintendo will have some limited edition releases that die-hard fans can purchase.

Nintendo revealed today that Miiverse - a social network of sorts for Wii U and 3DS - will be shutting down soon. Given Nintendo's eagerness to stop producing the Wii U once the launch of the Switch was imminent, we probably should have seen this coming next. The disappointing part for many players will be the fact that the Switch doesn't really have a Miiverse of its own, and may not ever have one.

Beginning next month, we're going to see the return of a phenomenon that hasn't gripped the world in more than 25 years: Super Nintendo mania. Nintendo is set to release its SNES Classic Edition around the world next month, setting off what's sure to be frenzy as consumers rush to get one. That likely won't be the only SNES-themed product that will be in short supply, as Nintendo has revealed a New 3DS XL model that's designed to look like a Super Nintendo.

Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon received a new trailer today, and it has some Pokemon fans excited. At first glance, it seems to be just another Pokemon trailer similar to the ones Nintendo rolled out for the original Sun and Moon.

On September 22, it will release an enhanced version of Pokken Tournament for the Nintendo Switch, and on the very same day, Pokemon Gold and Silver will be landing on the 3DS Virtual Console.

We haven't seen much of our friend Samus Aran in recent years, but that's all about to change with the release of Metroid: Samus Returns on the 3DS. After a release schedule that only saw the launch of Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Metroid: Other M - two only so-so Metroid games - in nearly the last decade, Metroid fans are about to get two big releases. Samus Returns is coming up later this month, while Metroid Prime 4 is slated to hit the Nintendo Switch sometime in 2019.

Nintendo has delivered its latest round of financial results, and it would appear that Switch is still selling very well. Of course, it doesn't necessarily take a financial report to figure that out, as the Switch can still be difficult to find in some place. This continuing shortage is indicative of the Switch's success, with Nintendo reporting that it sold 1.97 million consoles in the three-month period ending in June.

With Pokemon UltraSun and UltraMoon on the horizon, it's been a little while since we last heard from the original Sun and Moon. If there was ever a time to return to those games, that time is definitely now, as Nintendo has announced a new mystery gift promotion that will run for the next month. Trust me, the Pokemon being given away in this promotion is one that you won't want to miss.
