The Uncertain Future of Donkey Kong
As Donkey Kong takes center stage in the Super Mario Bros. movie, questions about the future of the franchise arise.
The Competitive Smash Scene is Dead
While the community has become enthralled with the discourse surrounding Steve and his place in the competitive scene, it seems those most within the community are unaware that the scene is crumbling right before our eyes. With Beyond the Summit dissolving and major Esports organizations parting ways with some of the biggest names in the game, it seems to signal the beginning of the end for the competitive scene as we know it. We're here to discuss it all here on Wii The People.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is the LAST big Switch game!?
Christopher Dring, head of Games Industry Biz, claims that The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is the last big Switch game. But what is a *big* switch game?

What the Cancelled Switch Pro Means for the Next Generation
