It’s not too long now until the near-complete closure of the Nintendo 3DS’ online services in April. Though most online games are closing their doors, Pokemon Bank is sticking around for a little while longer. That being said, we have no idea when exactly it will close – but we’d estimate it won’t be around for more than another year. If you’re looking to pad out your collection with some easy Shiny Pokemon, we’ve put together a list of easier Shiny hunts you can do before Pokemon Bank closes sometime in the near future. They all take place in past Pokemon games, and we’ll be including lots of different games here.
Gameplay is here for the new Switch version of Felix the Cat. The mini collection not only includes the NES original, but the Game Boy title as well.

Pepper Grinder, the latest notable indie title for Switch, just released on the system this week. It was one of the standout games during Nintendo’s November 2022 Indie World Showcase. While it took a bit longer than expected, it certainly seems to have been worth the wait.
We’ve now dug a bit deeper into Pepper Grinder as part of an interview with developer Riv Hester. He spoke about the game’s inspirations – which include the likes of Ecco the Dolphin and games Nintendo fans will recognize – as well as how the graphics came together and more.

Of every franchise Nintendo is involved in, Kirby is the one with a reputation for its in-depth lore. Unlike other games, however, Kirby lore is rarely spelled out to the viewer – instead, it’s often implied with things like pause screen descriptions and the like. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first main series game in quite some time that lacks pause screen descriptions for bosses. This means that, compared to the other games, the game’s lore is a bit more front-and-center. There’s a lot to unpack here, and we figured we’d round up all the lore Kirby and the Forgotten Land has to offer. Do note that we’ll be discussing full game spoilers, so if for some reason you haven’t beaten the game, you might want to bookmark this page and come back later.
