  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...

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!

Will we Get a Switch 2 Edition Console?     We have recently gotten a new leaked image leak for the rumored Zelda's 40th Anniversary Switch 2.

  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....

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...

  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 ...

 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 ...

 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...

 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 ...
