News & Reviews:   Nintendo announce

After a few months, the Nintendo eShop is finally having its first major digital sale in Malaysia. While the sales are only for select titles, it offers Malaysian Switch and Switch 2 gamers access to discounted games ranging from family party titles to RPGs and blockbuster releases. It has already begun on 27 May and runs until 9 June 2026, although some titles may have different ending dates depending on the promotion.

In yet another move by Nintendo, the company has launched its new Nintendo Store mobile app for Android and iOS. However, it is not available in Malaysia, as it launches in the US, Canada, the UK and parts of Europe. On the app, it offers another way to browse consoles, games, merchandise, and earn rewards via mobile check-ins.

In a significant move for gamers across Southeast Asia, Nintendo confirmed today that its much-anticipated Nintendo eShop and Nintendo Switch Online services will officially launch in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand on 18 November 2025. This marks a major milestone as the company expands its digital ecosystem to more global markets.

During the Nintendo Direct livestream last night, Nintendo announced a new app called 'Nintendo Today!'. It is a news content app that is related to all Nintendo games and characters, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Earlier this year, Palworld was one of the hottest games to play on Steam. Although overall gameplay mechanics are a bit different, the creatures look very similar to several popular Pokemon from Nintendo. Well, it was only a matter of time before Nintendo and The Pokemon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair Inc., the makers of Palworld.

If you still play on your old Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, you probably have heard the news that Nintendo is planning to shut down the eShop in March 2023. You may have a lot of questions too if you can still play your games or not. Well, here's everything you need to know.

Prior to the Chinese New Year festive season, there were some rumours about a new Nintendo Switch Pro that supports 4K resolution. Some were excited about the possibility, but some fans were also sceptical as the enhanced version was recently released back then. Now, it has been revealed that there won't be a Pro edition this year but rather, what we got could be even better - an Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed Switch!

Today, Nintendo has stormed the Apple Store by releasing Super Mario Run. Introduced in September during the Apple event, Super Mario Run is a casual one-handed + running gameplay in a 2D environment, the app also allows you and your friends to have friendly competitions and even a world building setup.

An announcement from Nintendo recently told the world that the two big game titles will be heading to the mobile space this fall (around September or so) - Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem. With the two big titles heading to the smartphone platform, we may see more Nintendo games coming to a small screen near you soon.
