Earlier this year, The Pokémon Company released an animation to commemorate the beginning of the 30th anniversary celebrations of Pokémon. Since then there has also been some news about a special McDonald's 30th anniversary TCG promo event and the Pokémon Lego launch has locked in a release date.
Apart from this, Nintendo has announced its stores will be celebrating the Switch 2 launch of Mario Tennis Fever on 12th February 2026, with this particular event to feature game demos, photo ops, and a gift with the purchase of the game.
