The Switch's swan song..?
Well, we knew it was coming, but this is still pretty exciting, right?

February always delivers, doesn't it? The first Nintendo Direct of 2024 is here — and it's a Partner Showcase!

No, it's not Triforce Heroes and that Tingle spin-off
Everyone's got an opinion on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. But the real cool nerds are the ones that have opinions on Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, the pair of Wind Waker sequels that used every single mechanic on the DS to great effect. To put it another way, Phantom Hourglass and...
