I lobbied all summer the year the first Nintendo Entertainment System hit the market to get one for Christmas. I remember the fancy version console with its little robot that moved stuff most of the time selling for about $250, which was a fortune back then.

The Nintendo Switch is the company’s highly anticipated new game console. While lots of folks are just excited by its gameplay possibilities, other fans are already creating fan art based on the theory that the controller looks like the head of a cute dog.

I always thought that the giant ’70s pornstache that Mario and Luigi wear is a bit weird. If you take that same ‘stache and put it on Pikachu, it gets even weirder. Though I suppose if Pikachu was going to be in an adult film that revolved around plumbers with special capabilities in the bedroom, this would be the perfect mashup.

Nintendo has officially unveiled its next console. Originally known as the “Nintendo NX,” the production console will be called the Nintendo Switch. Actually, what we got is more of a product trailer than an actual announcement, but this trailer shows us exactly what we are getting along with some horrible music.

Growing up, The Legend of Zelda was the one video game that all of my friends wanted to play when they came over. I found the game incredibly frustrating, but play it I did. If you are a fan of the Zelda franchise and need a cute gift to give your lady, this is the ticket.

Back in the day I played a lot of Nintendo. I remember one of the cheat codes to this day, you had to press Left, Right, Left, Right, A-B-B-A and something would happen in one of the video games.

This Wind Waker-style Legend of Zelda chest has some very special features, including a built-in NES console with a matching custom controller. But the real show-stopper is the Triforce that actually levitates and rotates on top.

Are you are a Mario fan? Well, if you happen to be traveling to Lisbon, Portugal, you can stay in a Super Mario themed room through Airbnb. Hopefully your Princess won’t be in another castle. The bedroom and bathroom are completely covered in Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong, and the other characters from Nintendo’s popular franchise.

They have this really cool go kart race track near my house, and I think it would be the perfect thing to buy this lounger and then go racing there. You could also use this Yoshi Lounger as a super simple Halloween costume.

While the rest of the world will get the NES Mini this November, Nintendo has something special in store for retro gamers in Japan as well, a miniature version of the classic Famicom console. The Famicom was originally released two years before the NES in 1983.

I have very vivid memories of schlepping around the local Target store back in the ’80s and coming across the Nintendo Entertainment System display with the robot that moved the spinning thingies around to open doors in some lame ass game on the screen.

Very soon, the latest installment of the Pokémon franchise will be unleashed on the world. The upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon could see a surge in sales thanks to the popularity of Pokémon Go. To celebrate early, Nintendo is offering up a new Nintendo 3DS XL system with Sun and the Moon imagery.

The other day we showed you the soothing and seductive way that the folks at Let’s Melt This burned down their PS3. Technically it was more melting than burning, but that is the name of their channel after all.

I played the heck out of the Super Nintendo back in the day. If you want to get in on some classic emulation in a package much smaller than the original SNES, this is for you.

Mario fans who are iOS users should be happy about this news. Nintendo has finally announced an official Mario game for iOS. We thought it would never happen, but Super Mario Run was revealed by Tim Cook and Shigeru Miyamoto during the Apple iPhone 7 and Apple Watch 2 announcement yesterday in San Francisco.

Get that old Nintendo Game Boy out of the attic folks. It just got a new modern use. Gautier Hattenberger has figured out a way to control a drone using the old handheld gaming brick. Now he’s flying with power!
