  Double Directs!    For the first time ever, we are getting two directs back-to-back! There was one time we gotten 3 directs in the span of 14 days but never two days straight. Now my question is will they flop or reach the top?    Recently the last couple general Directs have been not the greatest. This has led many people to think if directs are something to look forward to anymore. But I believe these directs will be different!    First off on September 8th we are getting a Zelda's 40th anniversary direct 5 months after Zelda's actual 40th anniversary.... This direct is expected to be 30 minutes long. I believe this direct is to be made out of three things: Ocarina of Time Remake release date trailer, Zelda movie Direct announcement or trailer, and a sneak peek at the next Zelda game.    Next, we have the General Direct happening on September 9th. This direct is expected to be around 45 minutes long. My fear for this direct is that becaus...

  DK is Collaborating with OppoSuits!    Have you ever wanted to wear DKs tie or match the attire of the jungle? Well now you can because Nintendo is collaborating with OppoSuits to create Donkey Kong shirts! Dk Tuxedo    You've probably heard of Monkey Business, but this takes it to a whole new level. As you can see there is going to be a Donkey Kong Tuxedo and let me say this looks great. You got the Dk Tie, Cranking Kong complaining about something, and Mini DK getting his share of the Bananas!    The white shirt in the picture is not included, although you do get an inside pocket which I believe can make up for the undershirt. This set comes with the Jacket, Pants, and the Dk Tie!  Sadly, all good things must have its downside, this Tuxedo costs $120 USD. Other than the price I believe that this is a great Tuxedo! Hawaiian DK    Imagine a nice breezy day in Hawaii then all of a sudden, you got a craving of bananas. Well Dk may not b...

Pikmin 3 Gets A Switch 2 Update!    After 13 of release Pikmin 3 gets a free Switch 2 update! In this update Nintendo improved the graphics of the game to an unknown resolution. I believe that Pikman 3 had the most realistic graphics on the Switch, and to see this game get an even better resolution is fantastic!    This game now supports Game Share, but not how you would fully expect it. You can use Game Share for the Bingo Battle mode, which is the early version of Dandori Battles. You sadly cannot use Game Share to play story mode in multiplayer, nor can you use it in the other modes that this game has to offer, which I believe was a miss opportunity for this game. Online matchmaking could've been nice.... Any way I am glad to see that Nintendo has not given up on this Wii U game yet!

  Jurassic World Evolution Stomps its way onto Switch 2    After nearly 5 years, Jurassic World Evolution 2 finally comes out on the Switch 2.  This game is available on the Nintendo eShop for $60 USD. Also, this is the complete edition version of the game, which means it includes all DLC for this game! What is Jurassic World Evolution    Have you ever thought to yourself "if I were in charge of Jurassic World nothing bad would happen." You can now put that statement to the test by being in charge of Jurassic World! In this game your goal is to create a dinosaur sanctuary. If you are more interested in being a business tycoon there is a challenge mode where you create a 5-star amusement park. You could also relive any of the movies before Dominion (Including Dominion).    This game is a Strategy Simulator game where you are in charge of building numerous Jurassic Worlds and ensuring your guest's safety. This game is all in a top-down camera angle....

  My Podcast Turns One!    For a whole entire year, I have been making Podcasts episodes, and July 31st marks my first-year anniversary of my podcast! Since today is July 31st, I released a special podcast episode! In this episode I will be ranking my top 10 games. Spotify Stats as of July 31st of 2026    After a whole entire year, I have gained 19 followers on Spotify alone! That may not seem like a lot but for my first year I find it a good number of followers. For my podcast I have gotten 866 plays and downloads! I find this a really great achievement for my first year! I thank you all you have helped me achieve this!     My Origin Story    On June 18th of 2025 I watched one of the best Nintendo Directs ever made; Donkey Kong Bananza! After seeing this direct I decided to start listening to Nintendo podcasts while waiting for Bananza to come out. After listening to quite a couple different podcasts I felt inspired and started to think...

 My Donkey Kong Lore Timeline Spoilers for Donkey Kong Games and Punchout for the Wii    One year ago, Nintendo on this day (7.17.26) released Donkey Kong Bananza! But this game also made Donkey Kong lore so confusing because of PAULINE!!! Do not fear because I have solved the Donkey Kong Lore! Beginning    This timeline starts in 1981, when a game called Donkey Kong released. A girl named Lady was kidnapped by a big gorilla named Donkey Kong who would later be named Cranky Kong. During this event a normal carpenter named Jumpman came to the rescue to save Lady!    After this Jumpman captured Donkey Kong and made him a circus animal. Then our next protagonist Donkey Kong jr. had to face the mean Jumpman. After defeating Jumpman DK jr. freed his father! Then his father got in trouble again with a man named Stanley.    Years later DK jr. moved to the city and left Donkey Kong the 3rd to his grandfather whose name went from Donkey Kong to Cranky...

Mobile Game Mario Kart Tours is Going Down    On July 8th of 2026 Nintendo tweeted out that they will be shutting down Mario Kart World Tour! After 7 years this game will be coming to an end. All the money people put into this game will be going down the drain. Just to think last week I was thinking of downloading this game! Service for the Mario Kart Tour game ends on Sept. 29 at 11:00 p.m. PT / Sept. 30 at 8:00 a.m. CEST. Thank you for your support throughout the years. For info on how rubies and the Mario Kart Tour Gold Pass will be handled moving forward, see in-game notifications or FAQ below. — Mario Kart Tour (@mariokarttourEN) July 8, 2026       This shutdown is outrageous, I mean like think about all the people who spent numerous of dollars on this game. This game has made over 200 million dollars according to Sensor Tower. Just to think this game has no ads so the only way Nintendo was able to make money off this game was by people paying for in-game i...

Yoshi & the Mysterious Books gets a Demo!    Are you unsure if you should get Yoshi and the Mysterious Book? Do you think Yoshi and the Mysterious book looks too much like a baby's game? Well, now you can answer these questions for yourself because Nintendo just released a demo for Yoshi and the Mysterious Book!    From what I have read on Metacritic this game is better than it looks, gameplaywise; that it is not just a baby's first game. The point where Nintendo failed on this was the advertising. If you look at the video above, they make this game really seem like baby's game. I have also heard from Metacritic that this game is more of a puzzle game than a platformer.    I will probably tryout this demo at some point because I have not bought the game yet. I have bought it yet because it hasn't really sparked my interest, and I also don't really want to waste my money being a full price game and all. Tell me what you think of this game in the comment...

 Mario Kart Gets New Races!    After a whole entire year since Mario Kart World's release, we finally get new racing routes! In this free update we got two new racing routes for the Knockout Tours! But that's not all we got; we also got a new update for the photo mode! New Routes!    So far, we have gotten two new routes; the Drill Rally and the Boomerang Rally! These routes are for the Knockout tour mode. If you're not happy with only two new routes and think that they should've added more. Don't fear because we have confirmation that in the future, we will be getting at least six more routes! We have no idea what the future routes are or what courses will be featured in the newer routes. Drill Rally    This rally is a knockout tour race that features the drill mushroom from Mario Wonder as its racing emblem. This race starts from Wario's Shipyard and ends at Bowser's Castle. This route also has one of my personal favorites; DK pass! There is also Dry...

  Dark Donkey Kong Bananza Theory!!!    One day I was playing Donkey Kong Bananza and I noticed that eels have triangles in their mouths. Why is this important? Because challenge rooms have triangle doors! So, my theory is that the challenge rooms are dead eels! Spoilers for Donkey Kong bananza throughout the rest of this article. Article rating: E10+ My Proof    During the post-game you can do the final rehearsal in the Great Harmoneel's stomach. You may have noticed that there is a triangle portal letting you into his stomach, same with all of the other eels. In the Great Harmoneel's  stomach there is a full-on obstacle course in them! What do the Challenge Rooms take you? To an obstacle course!    So maybe when an eel dies it leaves its portal and transforms into multiple different Fractones; leaving no body. This would make sense why Fractones and eels get along so well. If you pay attention to the skin of an eel, it looks just like Fractonium...

Is that a Pokémon CPU?    Pokémon Champions just released on mobile, and something I noticed is that there are a lot of computers. This can be very annoying. In today's article I will be listing different signs that you are facing a bot. Warning: I am only at Great Ball tier 2 in the double battles, so things may vary depending on tier. Is the Username in Japanese Writing?    One thing I have noticed is that when I am facing a bot their username is in Japanese writing, well that what the translator told me. Sometimes the username does not need to be Japanese for it to be a bot. Some of the time this can be an actual person. Remember don't rely on this one sign to tell if it's bot or not. Banner is not customized    When you start a battle there is a battle banner with your opponent's username. On that banner there are couple different custom features like titles and badges. This is a cool way to share some of your achievements, but if you are going against ...

  Rhythm Heaven Groove Gets Demo    Nintendo's upcoming rhythm game is getting a free demo! Over a year ago Nintendo revealed a Switch game called Rhythm Heaven: Groove, which is a sequel to Rhythm Heaven. Although this game has not released yet, Nintendo has given us a free demo for all of us to try this game for free!    This demo has two different minigames for you to try. One of the minigames they gave us is called Hoop Trundling. This solo-player minigame consists of jumping through a hoop while jumping to the beat. The other minigame that is in this demo is called tweezers. In this multiplayer minigame you are pulling off roots off an onion that oddly has a face.    It seems like Nintendo knows that this game hasn't sold that many people. This game looks cute, but I'm not planning on trying out this demo nor buying. Also, since this game releases on July 2, a few days after Starfox, I'll be too busy with that game. Tell me about your thoughts on ...

 Are Nintendo Directs Just Not the Way to Reveal game Anymore?    We have recently gotten a Nintendo Direct and that was... interesting. We did get a couple cool reveals like Ocarina of Time Remake, but there were also many games Nintendo fans will not care for. So, my big question is, are Nintendo social media posts the thing to look forward to now, not general Nintendo Directs?    About a month ago we got a surprise announcement of the new Starfox remake. This was a total surprise that nobody saw coming. They just randomly posted that we would have Starfox game and that was really cool. Since this was a surprise, nobody had the time to overhype themselves and be very disappointed.    If Nintendo gets rid of General Directs and just start giving us random reveals and surprise game devoted directs, it will give people less time to overhype themselves and get disappointed. For the last two directs people thought we would get super huge game reveals beca...
