Over the course of the past couple years or so, the Super Mario Bros. series has seen quite a bit of change. When Charles Martinet stepped down from his role as the voice of Mario, that took many fans by surprise. That wouldn’t be the last of the well-known Mario…
Last November, we ran an op/ed speculating about the performance improvements the Nintendo Switch 2 could bring to the vast library of Switch 1 games. While some have gotten native ports or Switch 2-specific updates, it would be impossible for Nintendo and every other publisher to update all 5,987 games…
As people discovered yesterday, the newly released Nintendo Switch 2 is compatible with a variety of generic USB webcams for use with GameChat. That’s great for people who already have a webcam in their possession and don’t want to shell out for Nintendo’s official camera. What if you wanted to…
A new, physical My Nintendo reward has arrived and if you’ve been holding out for something spiffy I’d say it fits the bill. Lego keychains of various minifigures are a common enough sight, but available now for just 400 Platinum points (and the cost of shipping) is instead a LEGO…

One side effect of a new The World Ends with You game after all this time is a deluge of merchandise and promotions — the majority of them exclusive to Japan. Thankfully some are popping up on import sites, including these six plushes based on The World Ends with You…
VTubers have been on the rise, both in general and as a means for companies to directly promote their games. Whether enlisting the aid of familiar, established personalities or going all in with their own characters (VTuber Sonic, anyone?) it would appear they aren’t going anywhere. Capcom certainly thinks so,…
Today’s Pokémon Presents gave us a whole lot of news but it seemingly didn’t spot there.

Receive a Dialga…
The newest Pikachu Moods figure has arrived, and its cuteness most definitely will not disappoint! So far, we’ve seen Pikachu in love, annoyed, confused, sad, and sleepy in previous releases.
