@DoubleDee Do you get your fortune told by Katrina every day? Her money luck boosts your chances of finding gold. I’ve been seeing her every day before and after the update, and I haven’t noticed any difference overall in how often I get gold since 3.0, personally.

@Dee123 Not for me. I never bother to change my clothes, so I would much prefer new furniture.

“You might already have one from getting Lost Relics”

This line made me think that the item was obtainable outside of the event by just finding Lost Relics, but looking at other sites, it seems this isn’t the case. As such, I skipped the event, and missed the item. A bit annoying that there isn’t more clarification in this article that this is an exclusive item to this event (outside of visiting Dream Islands, which I don’t want to do/many aren’t able to do).

“let us know below if you'll be picking up one of these Yoshi's”

Ackshually, I believe the plural is ‘Yoshies’ ☝️🤓 -

I was just in the Osaka IKEA yesterday. I probably won’t be returning so soon just for this, though.

“this is the first official non-Mario character appearing in the movie”

So Pikmin are Mario characters now?

@squiddu-real Ah, I see. Still, when you can change languages in the in-game settings, it seems a bit unusual to just leave the Switch 1 system in the lurch like that.

@Max_the_German Seems so. Nintendo are locking language options behind Switch 2 Editions too now, lol.

Ackshually, that’s just a regular Milde, not Marching Milde… ☝️🤓

@Bobb It is a game key card.

@dartmonkey Its name is ‘Tyranitar’, as in ‘tyrant’, rather than ‘Tiranitar’.

@dartmonkey The UK price is £59.99:

@JohnnyMind If you’re referring to the comment I tagged you in in the article about the Blazikenite distribution, you may want to check again. I said Garchompite Z back then too. Garchompite has been available in the base game since launch day.

@datamonkey It’s Pokémon Day. If there’s any day that’s going to have a lot of Pokémon articles, it’s the 27th of February.

I owned the metallic red 3DS, which I then traded in for the Pikachu Edition 3DS XL. Later, I bought the Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL, and in the last couple of years, I also got a Japanese white New 3DS.

Never have been a fan of the boring, lazy, and pretentious ‘let’s just make it gold and call it a day’ Zelda box arts.

@JohnnyMind Garchompite Z. Pretty sure it’s the only one left.

@Kilamanjaro What’s Game Off? Or do you mean Hard Off?

I selected Pokopia, Mario Tennis, Mario Wonder, and Yoshi, but ‘excited’ is not exactly the word I’d use for the latter two.

I’ll definitely get Pokopia, Mario Tennis seems likely, I’m still not sold on the Mario Wonder upgrade, and Yoshi is unlikely, but still a maybe.

Aside from these, the game I’m actually looking forward to the most this year is Rhythm Paradise/Heaven/Tengoku/whateveryouwannacallit

Yeah that is a hideous cover. Would have been much better to use a screenshot of one of the 2D games instead.

It’s a bit surreal to see my hometown mentioned in a Nintendo Life article.

@Liam_Doolan “Nintendo also mentions how you can now also see the health bars of your opponents when they've taken damage, which may allow you to save them before they're wiped out”

I think you mean ‘teammates’ instead of ‘opponents’.

@dudujencarelli I think everyone else was aware that I was referring to their debut within the Mario series.

@SplatRay001 Mouser debuted in SMB2/USA, same as Birdo (and Clawgrip, who is probably the aforementioned crab). So it’s not really an indication of any RPG characters.

I could be wrong, but it seems that the mistake about Kamek is due to a mistranslation from Japanese to English:

https://support.nintendo.com/jp/switch2/software_support/aaaaa/150/index.html

In the Japanese changelog, it refers to ‘when using Kamek’, as in ‘to use an item’. I think the translator took this to mean ‘to play as’.

@Gryffin When I purchased the annual pass back in 2023, it was like ¥20,000, iirc. Single entry was around ¥8,000. I’m not sure if the prices have changed since then.

In British Pounds, that’s about £100/£40 respectively. I wouldn’t know the conversion rate to USD off the top of my head.

I live 30 minutes away, but haven’t been since 2024 - may have to renew my annual pass for 2026.

@marandahir I wouldn’t say they’re ‘a 2nd party developer for TPC’, they’re just a 3rd party developer, full stop. They existed long before TPC did, TPC simply being a partnership between GF, Nintendo, and Creatures.

“Cerny is a bit of a Pikmin fan at heart, and if that isn't something all of us capital-G Gamers can agree on, then we don't know what is.”

Agree on what? That he’s a Pikmin fan? If so, then sure, I’ll take his word for it. Agree that all of us are fans of Pikmin? Not at all.

@MeloMan I think you’re getting confused with Superstar Saga. The Koopalings aren’t in Partners in Time. Are they…?

Arguably the best in the series for me, other than perhaps Bowser’s Inside Story. I also felt like this game never outstayed its welcome - personally, every instalment from Dream Team onwards drags on for far longer than it needs to.

I actually play Mario Run every day, but I don’t bother with these events. Doing Toad Rally is the only way I can continue to earn enough Platinum Points to get all the NSO icons, now that Pocket Camp went paid, and FEH stopped adding new point challenges.

@FlyingDunsparce @Bustacap Just looked it up, yeah, it seems they changed it only back in September, so not that long ago either. Thanks for the heads up.

@Moroboshi876 @AussieMcBucket To bring the Game Boy in line with other Nintendo Classics NSO apps. It’s not just the GameCube that also does it, it’s the same for NES, SNES, and N64 - they use the coin sound effects from their flagship Mario games, too. Iirc, the GBA doesn’t yet, but maybe that will change soon as well.

@PJOReilly “Special shoutout goes to the excellent Captain Toad”

The Captain Toad image is missing. It’s a duplicate GameCube image instead.

@Metazoxan It’s Koei Tecmo, not Bandai Namco.

@JohnnyMind What’s the problem? I’m glad they included that and clarified that it’s not confirmed yet. I fail to see what the issue is.

The Yoshi render in the first image also matches the one seen in the Old Spice leak, which supports its validity, if there was still any doubt.

Super Mario RPG or Super Mario 3D World.

@LazyDaisy You can still change it. Microsoft permanently locked me out of the email I had tied to my second Nintendo Network account due to inactivity, but there’s an option on the Nintendo Support site to change the email linked to your NN to a different one, specifically for reasons such as this.

To anyone saying they want to try Superstars, save yourself the trouble and don’t. Worst sidescrolling Sonic game by a mile - in fact, I’d probably rather run 10 miles than go through the buggy, boring boss battles in this game again. Such a thoroughly disappointing title.

Nooo where are the hourly dreamy tracks 😩 Dreamy 9am is the best track in the whole game :’(

In New Leaf, Dream Towns used ‘dreamy’ versions of the hourly music. Is this still a thing in New Horizons? I can’t remember. If so, they should add those too.

@JimNorman It’s a Megaphone, not a Microphone.

@Anti-Matter No ARMS merch in the stores in Japan either. It’s pretty much exclusively Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Pikmin, Metroid, and Kirby. They also had Famicom Detective Club goods in stock when the most recent game released.

@TheBoilerman So they’re actually two different products. The higher ones are shoulder bags, and the lower ones are cushions, with holes in the top and bottom so that you can also use them as hand warmers.

Japan, simply because it doesn’t have all that guff all over it.

@HammerGalladeBro Ah, I never played those games, but true. I think Pokken also had some voice acting iirc.

“Pokémon games have never, at least to our knowledge, had voice-over work. At least not the mainline games or direct spin-offs.”

What is New Pokémon Snap then?

“What if this Sandile has Absorb…”

It doesn’t.
