The 'Crossover Ambitions' bit is hardly news. In terms of gaming IPs that are famous (on a worldwide scale) for their crossovers, Fortnite is arguably the biggest of them, has been for a long time now.
This probably would have blown my mind 6-7 years ago when the game was still new, now its just π€·ββοΈ.
I don't usually mind DLC (though it depends on the content and the base game of course), but this is a refreshing change especially in this industry nowadays.
I guess Nintendo is testing the waters with original content since they have their "Nintendo Pictures" studio and all. I wouldn't mind more shorts like this.
In the words of Mario: So long'eh Bowser! I know most people have heard that sound differently (if you know then you know) but thats how it always sounded to me.
It still baffles me how he somehow never knew about Live & Learn's regular use for the past 20+ years until a fan told him.
Either way this surely marks the end of Gioeli's partnership with Sega, not that it makes much of a difference since Crush 40 isn't used much at all these days. The last Sonic game they did a song for was Team Sonic Racing if I'm not mistaken and that was in 2019.
Happy 10th anniversary Undertale.π Not one of my biggest favorites but I'm fond of it. It does have a memorable killer soundtrack, can't argue with that.
Rosalina's storytelling about her past is one of my favorite things of the character (and SMG1), so I love this idea. Unfortunately, that price is keeping me away from buying the book, and the fact that it won't include the new content is nuts.
Its good to see SMG2 re-released on modern hardware. Overall, re-releases of the Galaxy games is not for me, already own the originals, but good to see them nonetheless.
Now, seeing movie Rosalina in the SMB movie sequel? I'm ready!
Very good interview, even more interested in the game now.
And a little off-topic but Iβm glad a few here remembers The Fox and The Hound. I loved watching it as a kid, one of my favorite Disney classics really.
Before this news I haven't heard anything about Ninjala for a long time so I just assumed the support was already over.
I'm impressed the game has gone on for this long, gotta respect that.
Mario himself is fine and all but tbh I feel like it would have been much better if they just used Baby Mario instead (and the rest of the Star Children and other baby characters while they're at it).

Shadow most likely.
Re: Feature: The Tightest, Briskest Mario & Luigi Game Turns 20 Today And Deserves More Love
Happy 20th anniversary Partners in Time. You may be my least favorite of the M&L titles but you are still a somewhat okay game.
Re: Nintendo To Acquire Bandai Namco Studios Singapore As A Subsidiary
Sounds like a decent enough acquisition. Not too surprising either considering the closeness between the two companies.
Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting A Copy Of Rosalina's Storybook?
Nah, not worth it. Sorry.

Re: Random: Steam's Brand New Game Console Sure Looks Awfully Familiar
Sorry but this is just another "bit of a stretch" comparison. All I see is a black box.
Also, unrelated to the topic but that Steam Frame looks like it could be right up my alley as far as VR headsets goes.

Its fine, don't see the issue with it.

Re: Konami's Octopus Platformer Swims Onto Switch 2 Next Year, While Switch 1 Version Goes MIA

Re: Dragon Quest Creator Yuji Horii Has Been Awarded One Of Japan's Highest Honours

Well deserved I must say.
@Pillowpants : Itβs because Dragon Quest has a huge chokehold on Japan. Itβs always been highly revered over there, even more than Mario.

Re: Rosalina's Storybook From Super Mario Galaxy Goes On Sale This November
Rosalina's storytelling about her past is one of my favorite things of the character (and SMG1), so I love this idea. Unfortunately, that price is keeping me away from buying the book, and the fact that it won't include the new content is nuts.
Re: Round Up: Everything Announced For Super Mario's 40th Anniversary

Re: Nintendo Direct September 2025: Every Announcement, Game Reveal, Trailer
For me the direct was somewhere between "average-ish" and "okay-ish". I give it a strong 6.
Re: Surprise! Donkey Kong Bananza Is Getting DLC, And It's Out Today
As nice as it is to see DK Island again I don't feel much motivation to get this DLC, at least not right now.

Re: Virtual Boy Is Being Added To Nintendo Switch Online
Did not expect VB games to the NSO, thats cool.
The fact that you need an accessory to play them though, not so much.

Re: Nintendo Subsidiary 'Warpstar Inc.' Has Been Renamed To 'Nintendo Stars Inc.'
Makes sense why they changed it to "Nintendo Stars" but I agree, I will miss the "Warpstar Inc." name.
Also, Star Fox movie or TV series please.
Re: Feature: "I Don't Care About The Sales" - 'Remothered' Creator On His Disney-Inspired Horror Platformer

If you mean the Sonic series in general, Pac-Man did appear before in the mobile game Sonic Dash.
Re: Atari Announces Bubsy 4D From 'Demon Turf' Developer Fabraz
Meh, the gameplay could turn out, at the very least, decent enough.
I do like, however, how the series can still poke fun at itself.
Re: Kirby Air Riders Direct: Every Announcement - How Would You Rate It?
Color me excited, November can't come soon enough.
Re: In Kirby Air Riders, The Pink Puffball Isn't The Only One Who Can Use Copy Abilities
I don't feel like this shatters Kirby lore or whatever, feels more of a gameplay decision obviously then anything else but hey, thats just me.
And you can't tell me you wouldn't love seeing Meta Knight yelling with a microphone? lol
