Example prompt: What's the latest Nintendo news from the past 24 hours — any Switch game releases, Nintendo Direct updates, or new eShop listings?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Nintendo-specific news (Switch, Directs, eShop) rather than broad gaming industry coverage. If the user is asking about Nintendo hardware, software launches, or Nintendo-branded events, this is more targeted than the general video game industry news endpoint on the same platform. Best for Nintendo fan agents, gaming assistants, or release-tracking workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no articles were published in that period
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a parsing error or empty response
- Limit values outside 1–50 will be rejected by schema validation
- Source filter only accepts 'nintendoeveryt' — other values will fail validation

## How this service works

Nintendo: Switch releases, Directs, eShop. Nintendo fandom is large, distinct, and heavily community-tooled

## Output

A list of Nintendo news items (up to the requested limit, default 10) from nintendoeveryt, each including headline, source, publication timestamp, and a summary or link. Results are filtered by recency if a freshness window is specified, and by keyword if a search query is provided.
