Looks like it’s time to fire up my copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf once again. Nintendo’s released a free update for the title, complete with amiibo support and the ability to start a new town by selling your current one to Tom Nook for a huge pile of Bells. Nintendo announced the update in a Direct presentation earlier this morning. It’s an odd one. After the Direct was done, they...
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is set to get a large, free update this fall. Nintendo announced an Animal Crossing-focused direct yesterday, and that's what you see in the livestream above. The update will supposedly introduce amiibo support to Animal Crossing. Players will use amiibo to unlock new content, clothing, furniture and more.

I've yet to lose my soul to the lovable Animal Crossing universe, but I know a good many people who've built towns and communities that they feel guilty about outright abandoning to an eternity of absent management. While it's true that most games have a limit to how much you can enjoy them before they become boring, the Nintendo 3DS mega-hit Animal Crossing: New Leaf has the extra...
Desperate times call for desperate measures. 2015 is shaping up to be a great year for games no matter what platform you play games on. There’ll to be a ton of games to buy, and not everyone’s budget (not to mention living space) allows for hoarding.

One 2D game artist took to Twitter to share a piece of fanart that has had the world salivating for almost a week now. It's for Animal Crossing, the kooky life simulation affair from Nintendo that's released on four platforms to-date, and it comes in pixel art form. You can see that art at the head of this post. The tweet from the Brazilian artist who goes by Midio sits below. Made...
Last week’s offering of discounts from the Super Smashing Sale was so negligible that we completely forgot about it. I think it had the original Metroid, Wii Fit U, and Pokemon Rumble U. Yay… This week is different, and the savings on great games are off the charts! Donkey Kong is the biggest series of the week with Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D being dropped to $19.99 and Donkey Kong...
Still think that mobile gaming isn't overtaking Japan more and more everyday? Japan's chart tracker Media Create, via Siliconera, has indicated that this week, April 14th – 20th, saw the lowest number of console and handheld sales in five years. Keep in mind that this is just two months after the PlayStation 4 launched in its home country, meaning that everyone and their mother should...
Good things come to those who wait. That also rings true in the gaming word, but nowadays, “cheaper” things are also in store for those who wait. Sales, price drops, this “race to the bottom,” the media’s million-dollar phrase of the week, has even reached the golden halls of Nintendo, a company known for resisting this trend. Five popular Nintendo 3DS games have been discounted to $29...
Nintendo has released its software numbers showing some impressive digits for the Nintendo 3DS and decent Wii U sales.

Combined, Pokémon X and Y sold 11.16 copies since its release last fall, making it the best selling Nintendo game of this generation to date. Unsurprisingly, Mario...
Amazon.jp has revealed its top 10 games sold from Dec. 1, 2012 to Nov. 30, 2013.
