The gang is all here! Except for Krystal... Fay, Miyu, Dash, and maybe Amanda.

In a now removed video from Gamescom 2018, IGN has evidently revealed Peppy will be joining Fox on his journey through Atlas.

After the European presentation this week for Gamescom, Nintendo of America is throwing a pre-PAX party.

July has become a Nintendo month.

July was Nintendo's best month of the year so far in the US NPD Group's sales survey.

This sets a bound for combined Nintendo hardware sales of between approximately 650k (July 2010) and 832k (2009).

Your eShop balance and microSDs are not ready.
