 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...

The Ocarina Returns!    The highly loved Zelda Ocarina of Time is back! The highest rating meta critic game is making a return to the Switch 2 with all new improved graphics and redesigns! So far Nintendo only showed us Link in his child form and we also got to hear maybe the Great Deku Tree. T his game will be a Switch 2 system seller for this is a very great game that everybody wants!    By the looks of it we will be getting voice acting. My question is will link say anything? We have not yet heard any other character talk other than the Great Deku Tree and Link grunt.    The graphics look amazing! One thing I thought was cool was seeing the fabric on the tapestry in the trailer. From what we have seen of Link My fear is I wonder what the Red Hand will look like? * shudder*  Nintendo is really aiming for the realistic style; I wonder what they will do for the next 3D Mario. Picture is from Nintendo's Ocarina of Time Reveal Trailer. The fabric I was t...

  Bobby is Back!    Do you miss Bobby from Mario and the Origami King? Well, I do Bobby was a great dude. Nintendo needs to bring him back somehow, and they did! If you pay attention to the Mario Galaxy Movie you may be able to see Bobby at 42:45. When Peach and Toad are chasing Ukiki you can see Bobby for a split second.      If you look at the picture you can see Bobby who is at a stall trying to buy something while Princess peach deflects a bomb. As you can see this bomb-omb has no fuse just like Bobby! Bobby could come back to the Mario franchise perfectly because Bobby died in Paper Mario, but not in a Mario game! If you did not know Paper Mario and Mario are two separate beings in separate dimensions! Tell me if you think Bobby will make a comeback in a future Mario game in the comments below.

 Nintendo Music Gets Update!    If you ask people what the best Nintendo music is to listen to when driving, they will most likely say Mario Kart! You will soon be able to listen to the Super Mario Kart World music! On June first of 2026 Nintendo revealed that the Nintendo Music app will have an update will quite a couple new features. In this article I will be diving into each feature. Mario Kart World Music    Some say that Mario Kart World's music has some of Nintendo's best soundtracks, and who can disagree? I am really excited to listen to some Mario Kart World music because in games like Mario Kart I honestly don't pay attention to the music. It is hard to pay attention to the music in a fast-paced game like Mario Kart. A music soundtrack I am looking forward to listening to is the Dk themed music. Why did it take Nintendo so long to add Mario Kart World to Nintendo Music? Listen on the Internet    You now don't need the Nintendo music app to dow...

  Donkey Kong 64 Returns! DK 🎵 DONKEY KONG! 🎵 Help Donkey Kong rescue his friends, reclaim the Golden Banana, and save his homeland in Donkey Kong 64, coming to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics app on Jun 4 for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members! pic.twitter.com/WfAZ73Cwvo — Nintendo of America (@NintendoAmerica) May 28, 2026    The first 3D Donkey Kong game is making a return with the Nintendo 64 app! You may not know it, but Donkey Bananza is not the first 3D Donkey Kong. The reason why you may have never heard of this game is because many people believe that Donkey Kong 64 sucked because of the repetitiveness and the annoying character swapping. If you are wondering what my opinion of this game is I can't tell you because I have never played it, but I am really excited! DK 🎵 DONKEY KONG! 🎵 Help Donkey Kong rescue his friends, reclaim the Golden Banana, and save his homeland in Donkey Kong 64, coming to the Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics app on Jun...

  Donkey Kong and Bricks    As we all know DK loves to smash bricks and other terrain, but now DK is becoming a brick with the newest Nintendo LEGO set! That is right Donkey Kong is "rolling in" with a new Lego Set! We have no idea when this LEGO releases or what this set is about! Even though I never finish LEGOs I WILL buy the Donkey Kong Sets! Good Ideas for Donkey Kong LEGO Sets! Original Donkey Kong Country!    Don't you think it would be kool to have the Gangplank Galleon! Maybe for cute idea they can put K Rool's ship in a bottle with DK and K Rool on the ship inside the bottle! This would probably be a better Idea than any game where Donkey Kong is a bad guy for obvious reasons. Donkey Kong Returns!    There are some pretty cool sets you can base off of the levels of this game! For example, the final level of Donkey Kong Country Returns. Maybe it's just nostalgia hitting me, but I think this would be a great set because the final boss's design ...

Funny New Nintendo App!     Nintendo just revealed a new app for mobile today on Nintendo Today called Pictonico! This new game is a game where you can take pictures of people and mess with their faces! You can also play mini games with their faces! Sadly, you will have to pay to play some of these minigames, which is really crappy. I also wonder if there will be restricting features on sharing these photos, which is honestly kind of fair. This game will release on May 28th of this year. My Thoughts on This    My question is WHAT IS NINTENDO DOING!?! This is some weird game where you mess with people's faces, which already makes me wonder if I want this game! We also have to pay for this which now I am like no, not paying for this. Nintendo had so many choices for mobile games, but we get this. I mean like if I did not pay for Mario Run what makes you think I'm paying for this.    I mean like this seems like an ok idea from Nintendo but making us pay is pre...

  Which Game too choose to Get Your Moneys' Worth?    Sometimes making decisions like these can be hard, especially when all these games are the biggest switch 2 games! In this article I will be giving advice of which game to get with the upcoming choose one game Switch 2 bundle. I will be talking about the pros and cons of each game download, so I can make the decision making easy for you! Mario Kart World    Mario Kart World is the latest instalment of the Mario Kart series! This game has introduced plenty of new features but also lost a couple features from the last Mario Kart. This game has a Metacritic of 86 out of 100, which is 6 less than the last Mario Kart. My Short Review    This game is one of the best games to play for game night! All the tricks you can perform in this game give you a nice film! The maps are all great and the connected tracks are pretty great! There are a lot of collectables you can collect in this game that can give you ho...

 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...   ...
