Getting your hands on Nintendo's latest console just got easier, as Amazon is now listing the Nintendo Switch 2 for sale outright, no invitation needed. It's been three months since the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, and the launch day frenzy is just starting to taper off. The handhelds have been selling at a blistering pace, with just under 6 million units sold in the first four weeks. Online inventories in those initial weeks sold out in a flash, and sparse restocks were gone just as quick

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-21 02:40:48

Nintendo invited me to a “holiday showcase” to play upcoming Switch 2 titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Hades 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Kirby Air Riders, but the only thing I can’t stop thinking about is the Lego Game Boy that was on display at the entrance. Announced at SDCC 2025, the Game Boy set is even better in person than in online renders. The brick-sized handheld, which is made of 421 brick pieces, costs $50 and comes out on Oct. 1. As

After the Virtual Boy, There’s No Reason Why Nintendo Can’t Bring Back Its Best Handheld

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-01 19:00:08

Nintendo doesn’t normally let fans in on its hardware plans, but if you’re the type of person to spot trends, it’s clear the Switch 2 will become the Mario maker’s everything console. Nintendo has started offering more hardware specifically tailored for playing its old, defunct consoles. The inevitable next step is for the company to let us return to its most popular handheld ever, the Nintendo DS. Today, Nintendo decided it was time to bring back what is likely its least popular gaming hardwar

An embarrassing failure of the US patent system: Nintendo's latest patents

The last 10 days have brought a string of patent wins for Nintendo. Yesterday, the company was granted US patent 12,409,387, a patent covering riding and flying systems similar to those Nintendo has been criticized for claiming in its Palworld lawsuit (via Gamesfray). Last week, however, Nintendo received a more troubling weapon in its legal arsenal: US patent 12,403,397, a patent on summoning and battling characters that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted with alarmingly litt

Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work.

The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate.
