  Tomodachi Life Living the Dream has a Demo!    We just got an overview trailer for Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, and we also got a free demo. If you complete this demo you get one out of eight hamster suits for your miis! Be warned the hamster suits can be fully obtained in the full game.    This demo also can transfer save data! You can have up to three miis in this demo. After you complete the demo you can still play the game, but the stuff you can do is more limited. Also the only thing the miis talk about is purchasing the full game.  Tell me your thoughts for this game, and what Nintendo, if any, characters you will add to your island.

Could The Mario Movies Change Odyssey's Ending?   Spoiler Warning for Mario Odyssey    We got a little look at  Peach's Birthday  scene and for her birthday she got a parasol. You may be wondering whom is that parasol from, it's from non-other than Mario himself! Mario tried really hard to get this parasol because it's from New York! In this scene Mario jokes around with Peach and then Peach gives Mario a little punch on the shoulder. I mean like would you punch someone you didn't feel "close," with? This changes the whole entire meaning of her parasol from VARIOUS games! Is Peach and Mario More Than "Good Friends?"    Just think about it why would Peach get so excited over a parasol? I mean like the whole entire kingdom has probably given her gifts, but when Mario gives her a gift, she gets excited. You also have to think why does she take this parasol everywhere? Why did Mario give her a parasol with a heart at the end if they are just "Go...

Star Fox is Officially in Super Mario Galaxy   Fox McCloud is officially in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and I have mix feelings about this. We got a poster that confirmed Fox will be in this movie. As much I love Star Fox I feel like he needs his own movie. It is kind of interesting to think what role he will have in this movie. He may just be in easter egg that we see a couple times in the movie, but this seems very unlikely since he got his own poster. In this poster we see drones from one of my favorite mini games in Mario Party. It's the one where you steal package deliveries using a drone! Why I am opposed to Fox being in this movie   The main reason why I am not too happy that Fox is in this movie is because the trailers already showed so much, and this movie is only an hour and a half. With the Movie being this time how long will Fox take, or Fox's appearance could be a total disappointment by his screen time being too little. Rosalina seems like she won't have muc...

  Pokémon Champions get Release Date    On March 24th we got an overview tailer of Pokémon Champions revealing quite a couple new features. Let's dive in! VP the New Currency    Victory Points (VP) is the new currency in Champions, and you can buy quite a couple different things with VP including new  Pokémon, mega stones, held items, battle songs and a lot of cosmetics. These cosmetics include pre-battle poses, hair, clothing (of course), accessories, and even victory poses! You can also use VP to get more  Pokémon, but we will talk more about that later. I find it pretty cool how we can buy different music from different games to listen to during battles. I would love to hear what  Pokémon song you will get first.    Another way to use VP is to raise the EVs/stats of different  Pokémon. The max EVs (effort values) is 66. You can also use VP to change the moves of your Pokémon, but I have mix feelings about this because I feel like...

Is Princess Peach & Rosalina Sister?     British Board for Film classification has given Mario Galaxy a PG rating for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and you may be wondering "why is this important to this theory?" It is because in the movie rating in the theme section it says, " Infrequent very mild upsetting scenes include flashbacks to a family separation." This may have confirmed this theory, and if you have been listening to my podcast or answering my polls in Spotify you know that I have been throwing around this theory for a while. Princess Peach's Ogrins & similarities to Rosalina!    In the Super Mario Movie there is a scene where Peach is talking to Mario about how there are so many galaxies out there and how she does not know where she is from! If you look closely at Peach when she is a baby in the super Mario movie, she is wearing a skirt that has stars and moons. You may be thinking "this is just a normal thing kids wear," but not in...

  Pokopia's Rival Isn't Animal Crossing    Many people are comparing Pokopia to Minecraft or Animal Crossing, but Animal crossing is NOT what you should be comparing to Pokopia you should be comparing Pokopia to these games. The real games to compare Pokopia to is... The Jurassic World Evolution Series!    The reason for this is because there are more components in Pokopia that are from Jurassic World Evolution than there is from Animal Crossing. Just to name a few there is NPC comfort levels, ratings in a way, and you need electricity. I mean like where do we get our electricity in Animal crossing and Minecraft? Other than the numerous mods! Building & Infrastructure     The building in Pokopia is very much a mixture of all three games because there is block building from Minecraft, electricity from Jurassic world, and neat little decor from Animal Crossing. I do have to say that the building in Pokopia is more like Animal crossing and Minecraft, ...

 Best Pokémon to Have in the Withered Wastelands    I've Played through the Withered Wastelands in Pokopia and here are the best Pokémon to have in the Withered Wastelands! Magikarp    I know what you are thinking "how the heck did Magikarp make this list!" It's because Magikarp teaches you one of his VERY special moves... Flop!!! Flop is a very special move because you can now jump! So, this is why Magikarp is an IMPORTANT character.    To get Magikarp you need an ocean fishing spot habitat. Here is what you need for an ocean fishing spot: ocean water, fishing rod, and any kind of seat! You may want three ocean fishing spots because there are different Pokémon you can get with this habitat. Magikarp  is available any time of the day and available in all types of weather. Heracross & Pinsir    Heracross & Pinsir are both great Pokémon to have because they both have the specialties of chop and build! The reason I recommend both is...

 Yoshi & the Mysterious Book Release Date    Yoshi and the Mysterious book has finally got a release date! We also got a couple new reveals for the game! What Is Yoshi & the Mysterious Books    Yoshi and the Mysterious book is a platformer game you explore different  2D levels inside a book named Mr. Encyclopedia or Mr. E for short, who fell out of the sky. In these levels you find different creatures that you can experiment with and discover what they do. For example, you can find a flower and eat if and find out what it tastes like, or you can bring that flower to a field of grass, and it will make flowers bloom in the grass field!    This game does not seem like the tradition 2D platformer because you are exploring different levels that seem to have no end point other than discovering all of the experiments in a level. This is kind of a game where you are a scientist/explorer discovering new creatures and testing experiments with you ne...

 All Reveals for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct 3.9.26    On Mar 9, 2026, we got the Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct, and we got a good amount of cast and character reveals & new scenes. We also got to see the scene of Princess Peach's Castle being stolen!?! Many of the cast for the super Mario Galaxy did appear for the intro of this movie and may I quote Jack Black "This Movie will be huge!" New Cast Reveals!    First off, we got a new character reveal of Wart from the Super Mario Bros 2. Wart will be played by Luis Guzman. We also got a surprise announcement that the Honey Queen will be in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie and will be acted out by Issa Rae. Yoshi's actor has finally been revealed and the actor to be playing him will be Grammy Award-winning Donald Glover!    We also still have a couple other characters that have not had their actors revealed yet like one of my favorite new character Mouser! We still do not know the actors of Ninji...
