 The Zelda Movie is Coming Sooner Than You Think    If you thought, you had to wait for May next year for the Zelda movie you thought wrong! Nintendo just confirmed that the Zelda movie will come sooner than May 7 of next year! The Zelda movie is now coming on April 30th of 2027! I am very glad we don't have to wait for may of next year! Reasoning For the Delay    Nintendo had delayed the Zelda movie to May 7, 2027, because of "production reasons." I do think that Nintendo delayed the Zelda movie because Sonic 4 would have came out days before the Zelda movie, but the Sonic 4 movie has also been delayed. I can see why Nintendo would not want to have some competition with SEGA in the cinema universe because of the ratings the last two Nintendo movies. I wonder how much the two movies would have grossed if they did release in the same week! Tell me your thoughts in the comments below!

 Mineru's Construct Amiibo Released Date Confirmed!    Ever since April of 2025 we knew at some point we would be getting a new Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Mineru's Construct Amiibo! On May 11th of 2026 Nintendo notified us that the Mineru's Construct Amiibo will release on September 17th of 2026! In this article I will be going over what this Amiibo does and my opinions on this Amiibo. What does this Amiibo do?    This Amiibo will give you some useful items on your adventures in Tears of the Kingdom! I'm guessing some of these items will be Zonai devices because Mineru is a Zonai. This Amiibo also has a chance to give you a special fabric for Link's paraglider! This paraglider also glows in the dark. Remember this Amiibo may not give you the special fabric on the first scan, but do not worry your money has not been robbed because you have another chance to get special fabric every time you scan the Amiibo, which you can scan only once a day.    This Am...

 Fox Is Back!    After over a decade Fox McCloud gets a game! On May 6th of 2026 we got a surprise direct from Nintendo! I was bowling then all of a sudden, a notification from Nintendo Today saying, “Star Fox direct!” This is a remake from the Nintendo 64 version of Star Fox. The name of the new Fox game will be called Star Fox, which is very confusing between the first one and this one. To be fair though this game is a remake of the 64 version of Starfox and the 64 version is a reimagining of the original version. New and Improved Graphics!    Nintendo is testing the limits of the Switch 2 by the new and improved graphics of the new Starfox game! Fox and the gang get new realistic designs. These graphics look very clean and seem realistic. I thought it would kind of be anime like because in the Galaxy movie they introduced Fox through an anime cutscene. They also should that cutscene in the direct making it very convincing that the new game would be anime styl...

  Timmy and Tommy Go Fishing    Nintendo has recently been on a trend of turning their IPs into Legos! Today on May 1st of 2026, we got announcement that there will be a cute Timmy and Tommy Lego! I have to say this is probably the cutest Nintendo Lego so far! This Lego looks much better than the Tom Nook Minifigure!    This Lego is $60 for 513 pieces. That is pretty pricey for only 513 pieces! Although it is a pretty cute Lego! This Lego is for ten years and older. Cute Details!    I love the design of the bridge. There is a hidden fossil in the ground in this Lego, and there is even fish food! The present was a nice touch, but unnecessary. The flowers and butterfly make the design all the sweeter! This design was very cute, and please tell me in the comments what you think of this Lego!

 Mario Galaxy Got a Brand-New Chapter!    If you thought Nintendo was done with the Super Mario Galaxy lore you thought wrong! Nintendo just dropped a brand-new update for the Switch version of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game! What Is so Great About This Update?    This update just added a brand-new chapter to the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game! This is now again adding more lore to the Super Mario Galaxy universe! I haven't completed the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game yet, but now I will have to buy it and read this new chapter after playing Tomodachi Life for a while! How to Unlock This Chapter    To unlock this chapter, you need to finish the Mario Galaxy 2 game first because this is an epilogue. If you have already finished the game all you need to do is complete another level in the Galaxy 2 game. If the Mario Galaxy 2 book is white that is how you know you have the epilogue! Tell me if this new chapter is worth it to go back and read in the comments without ...

 Another Short Nintendo Film!    Nintendo is at it again with a mysterious short film! Do you remember that close to you video Nintendo put out in October last year? Well, if you don't Nintendo set out a short, animated film with a baby and a whole bunch of Pikman! This time Nintendo set out a short little film stop-motion film with Kirby stacking apples on his head! What Was the Short About?    This short was a short little stop-motion picture of Kirby. Right under the Whispy Woods tree Kirby was catching apples with his head! In the end he ate them. So, this short wasn't as long as the close to you short and more like the Juicer Pikman short! What Does This Mean?    When we got the Close to You short film, we got a Pikman 4 update. So, this time we'll we get a switch 2 update for Kirby's Dream Buffet. Maybe there is a small chance that we will get a small $15 cooking Kirby game like Kirby's Dream buffet! Tell me about your thoughts in the comments do...

Why You Must Collect All 40 Mario Galaxy Cards    When we got the final trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo Today got digital collectable cards! These digital cards are little collectable cards that have Mario characters/items! You can get these cards by logging into the Nintendo Today app daily. What makes these cards so special is that when you click onto them you can scroll down and see little videos about that item or character. These videos are short little videos that cover the debut of the item or character and other games that item or character have been in! If the character is a main character in the Super Mario Galaxy movie there will be a short special video of that character's actor sharing a little memory about Nintendo! Why Should I Collect all 40 Cards    The reason why you should collect all 40 cards in the Nintendo Today app is because when you collect all of them you get a special wallpaper! Trust me the wallpaper you get is really go...

 Splatoon Raiders gets Release Date    After a whole entire year, we finally get a release date for Splatoon Raiders! Let me just say this game is looking very great and I cannot wait for this game to release even though I don't really do the storyline on the Splatoon games. This Splatoon game will be a spin-off single player game which is the first in its series. For a new IP this franchise is doing really well! This game is only for Switch 2 A Summer Release    This game will be coming out on July 23, 2026, which feels perfect for Splatoon because this game really gives you the tropical vibes. Not to mention that Nate the Hate was right about Splatoon Raiders releasing in the summer! Let's hope we get that new 3D Mario! Even though it was great to get the release date for this game, but they should've revealed this game during the September direct last year, so we didn't have to wait over a year to even hear more about this game. Storyline So Far...   ...

No Man's Gets a New Update!    No Man's Sky got a new update, and this one is going to trouble Pokémon! In this new update we can now collect pets, as always, and battle with them! This new update was a delightful surprise since we just got the new Remnant update. Just to think we just got Pokémon Champions the same day as we got this update! For now, let's dive into more of the Xeno Arena Update! What Else is in This Update? Pet Battles    Of course, the huge attraction for this update, the creature battles. These creature battles is kind of like Dejarik or Holochess from Star Wars but turn-base and the creatures you use are shrunken down to size. You can find these battles tables in planetary buildings and the Space Anomaly. On the Anomaly you can battle other travellers you meet!  There are also new arena league medals you can earn through creature battles! You can also earn Nanites. Affinities/Types    One new thing in this update is that all of th...

    We just got confirmed that the Mii limit for Tomodachi Living the Dream is only 70 Miis per island and this is very disappointing. Also to have a baby in the game you need free Mii space, which only makes the limit more outrageous! This is a very big downgrade from the last game. To be honest the Mii limit ruins my excitement for the game. How to Fix This Limit    There are quite a couple ways Nintendo can fix this limit. I do believe in the future there will be updates to expand this limit because in Animal Crossing New Horizons we just go a new update after years of release and part of that update we got more storage room, so maybe we will get more Miis! Here are a couple ways Nintendo can fix this. Updating the Limit    Of course, one of the easier ways to fix this limit is Nintendo updating the limit. Hopefully they change the limit to at least 100. I don't know why Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to make the limit 70. Maybe at the most th...

 Why Pokémon Wind and Waves Should do Real-Time Battles     Pokémon Wind and Waves got revealed on  Pokémon's 30th anniversary and one of our biggest questions is: will Wind and Waves be turn-based or real-time battles? As much as I love the traditional  Pokémon games, I want real-time battles like in Z-A! I do have reasons why we need real-time battles in Gen 10! Pokémon Z-A's battle style Was Great but Flawed    Pokémon Z-A's battling felt great, but it got a little old by the end of ZA. One of the main reasons is that I was expecting a very immersive gameplay, so when I first pick up the game I was "oh I have to lock on to my opponent's  Pokémon!" I thought you would have to aim shots more, but I mean like locking on to your opponent's  Pokémon is fine the only thing is the dodging! The dodging was not as advance as I thought it would be. I thought there would be very close moments where you are breath away from being demolished by your op...

  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...
