[ad_1] When Foxconn and the Wisconsin state government agreed to open a production facility in the home of the Cheeseheads, the addition of 13,000 jobs was supposed to come with the new buildings. Psych, Foxconn is actually only bringing 1,500 jobs to the state, despite receiving $222 million in subsidies. But don’t worry they’ve got […]

After Math: Flipping the Switch
What did the Nintendo 3DS mean to you?
[ad_1] No new first party titles have been announced this year, so it looks like we might be saying goodbye to this portable 3D console soon. However, the 3DS was still popular enough to have spawned a number of hardware revisions, a library of almost 1,300 titles and, here on Engadget, a hefty amount of […]
Three Houses’ is a slice of epic life
[ad_1] Explore mode would not work if the game wasn’t written well. It is. The terms of Nintendo’s embargo forbid me talking about the story beyond a major flashpoint around ten hours in, and I wouldn’t want to spoil it anyway. What I will say is Three Houses has some great twists and turns. The […]
Nintendo Switch Online adds a ‘rewind’ button to NES games next week
[ad_1] For July, Nintendo is adding Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3 to the list of classic NES titles that Switch Online subscribers can play, but the biggest news is a feature that will work across the entire library: Rewind. Similar to a feature that Nintendo put in last year’s SNES Classic Edition and that […]
Players have created over 2 million levels on ‘Super Mario Maker 2’
[ad_1] Creating a course on Super Mario Maker 2 lets players experience what it’s like to be a game designer and is one of the game’s most unique features — so it’s no surprise that it’s taken off. One Canadian super fan has already rolled out a full 32-course game. Really, anyone can create a […]
‘Pokémon Sword’ and ‘Shield’ will have version-exclusive gyms
[ad_1] Whichever version you buy, you’ll have to deal with yet another new mechanic: Gigantamaxing. Unlike Dynamaxing, which ‘just’ makes Pokémon bigger and boosts their stats, certain creatures (such as Corviknight and Drednaw) will change appearance as they grow and gain access to a special G-Max Move. You won’t just want to stick to your […]
‘Dr. Mario World’ will make a new generation of virus-killing addicts
[ad_1] After spending a bit of time with an early version of Dr. Mario World, I don’t have an exact answer just yet. But at the very least, it’s clear that Nintendo isn’t approaching it like an easy cash-grab. The gameplay has been optimized for one-handed touchscreen use, as you’d expect. And even though your […]
New trailer for ‘Mewtwo Strikes Back Evolution’ is full of Pokémon nostalgia
[ad_1] The original Pokémon The First Movie: Mewtwo Strikes Back was a hit with children but a critical flop, though it still has a strong pull of nostalgia over a whole generation of Pokémon fans. Particularly in Japan, where the movie was received better than it was in the West. The new version, Pokémon: Mewtwo […]
Here’s how multiplayer works in ‘Dr. Mario World’
[ad_1] As you’d expect, the game will make it easy to find friends on Facebook or Line. You’ll be able to see their progress, send them hearts, and most importantly, challenge them to a battle. The matches will take place in real-time, and as you eliminate viruses, you’ll fill your attack meter. When it’s full, […]
Silksong’ is a faster, more elegant sequel
[ad_1] While its creators recently told fans they wanted it to match “the quality and scale of Hollow Knight” before announcing a release date, this week, I got to spend over 20 minutes playing through two different areas of the game, and it feels like it must be pretty close. Please? In the sequel, you […]
