The 10 Best NES Games on Nintendo Switch Online
If you pay for Nintendo Switch Online, you already have a library of NES games sitting on your console. Plenty of people open that app once, play World 1-1 of Super Mario Bros., and never go back. That’s a mistake, because buried in that list are some of the best games ever put on a…

Castlevania and Metroid Are Back at the Same Time
For the first time in years, both halves of the word “Metroidvania” are back at once. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse came out this week, and Metroid Ravenous lands on Nintendo Switch 2 on January 28th. The two series that gave a whole genre its name return within about three months of each other, and they’re heading…

Why Isn’t Baseball in Switch Sports Resort?
Twelve sports. A fully explorable Wuhu Island. Its own Nintendo Switch 2 bundle. Yet the moment I posted my last video on Switch Sports Resort, one question kept coming back in the comments. Where is baseball? You asked for baseball more than any other sport, and I think Nintendo left it out for a reason—a…

Nintendo Just Fixed Switch Sports
Wii Sports was never meant to be a phenomenon. It was a pack-in, a tech demo for a strange new controller, yet it ended up in living rooms, care homes, and office break rooms worldwide. Two decades on, Nintendo is going back to that well: Nintendo Switch Sports Resort launches exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2…

Metroid Ravenous is official: Samus is now the predator
Back in July, all we had was a deleted ratings listing from Brazil and a name: Metroid Ravenous. There was no trailer, no platform, no gameplay—nothing. Now, everything has been revealed. Nintendo officially announced the game during the latest Nintendo Direct. Metroid Ravenous is coming to Switch 2 on January 28th, 2027, and the trailer…

Nintendo Got Your Tariff Money Back. They’re Not Giving It To You.
Nintendo just announced a “Customer Appreciation Sale.” Thirty percent off games, DLC, accessories, amiibo, running September 12 through 26 — though it’s worth flagging up front that Nintendo’s own press release and GameSpot’s report say the 13th, while VGC says the 12th. Small discrepancy, but it’s the kind of thing that tells you these announcements…

Nintendo Direct September 2026 My Top Picks
That was a lot. Forty-five minutes, dozens of games, and — depending who you ask — one glaring omission. But instead of trying to cover everything from this September Direct, I want to zero in on the seven announcements that actually matter to me, and why. Some of these are big system-sellers, some are quiet…

Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave – Everything Nintendo Just Showed Us
Three weeks ago, I broke down everything the outlets were saying about Fortune’s Weave after their hands-on previews. Good stuff, but secondhand — filtered through ten different writers’ opinions. This week, Nintendo skipped the middleman. Treehouse Live sat down with three separate story paths and just… showed us the game. Confirmed mechanics, on-screen numbers, actual…

Does Fortune’s Weave Finally Fix Fire Emblem’s Biggest Problem?
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is three weeks from release. Several major outlets got extended hands-on time — anywhere from 10 to 20-plus hours, covering the opening chapters across all four story paths — and the early consensus is that this might be the most ambitious Fire Emblem Intelligent Systems has ever built. Let’s get into…

Splatoon Raiders Is Outselling Everyone’s Expectations
I wasn’t going to buy Splatoon Raiders. I’ve never been a Splatoon person. Turf War never clicked for me; every time a new mainline entry dropped, I watched from a distance and moved on. So when Nintendo revealed this as a single-player spin-off instead of Splatoon 4, my reaction was closer to indifference than excitement.…
