@Spider-Kev I don't want to be rude, but you're on a Nintendo-focused site, and this is a publicly-released trailer for a major Super Mario movie. I'd suggest taking some steps to curate what you view online. This will be everywhere.
@Dr_Wright Nope. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book appears to the closest we'll get to a "tie-in" release. A new 3D Mario will come, but I think it'll be something completely new. Happy to be wrong, mind you.
@KayFiOS We're speculating based on online chatter. In fact, I literally state in the article that I don't think it's him. I could have easily done the same for Kraid, or Mother Brain. Don't read too much into it.
@MoldyPasta Honestly, probably not. Digital pre-orders via the eShop wouldn't count, and anything at retail wouldn't be properly processed until launch.
@Robot99 A lot of folks have been under the impression that a MP2 remaster/remake is done and has just been waiting in the wings. The quote seems to suggest that probably isn't the case.
Definitely Pikmin. Very familiar music, especially when it first starts at 0:30. Probably just a new series of shorts, but it'd be neat if it leads into a new game announcement.
@Metaphor1987 It's been available on all three of those platforms for months. At the time of writing, Bloober's webpage for the game still just shows Steam and PS5.
@w1p3out Oh yeah, for sure, it's comparable to the Hit Box Ultra, Snack Box Micro, and many others. But there has also been a huge wave of more budget options, especially from Cosmox itself.
@DarthXenos Sure, you can, but if you pick it up with the front panel, gravity will soon prove that it's intended to be used together as a set. It's not secure enough on its own or with the Joy-Con grips.
@Smithicus Not once did Cronos enter my mind when reviewing this game. You gotta try and refrain from comparing reviews of games that have nothing to do with one another. If we spent time looking at ratings for other games before providing a final score, we'd never get anything done.
@1UP-HUSKY That's reasonable. The PS4 version of RE4 remake was announcement in September ahead of its March release. There's still time, I guess, but who knows.
@Lizuka Keep in mind we're not a hive mind
I love visual novels, and The Hundred Line is still the frontrunner for my GOTY. Shunten Order just didn't work for me, sadly.
@Arawn93 Too early to say whether or not it's the right call.
The handheld space is worlds apart from what it was a decade ago. Sony left the Vita to rot because it focused too much on the PS4 and made absurd decisions that tanked interest in the Vita even before it launched.
With the PS6 presumably offering up the full console experience in a handheld format, I suspect a lot more people will be on board with that.
Sony just needs to be sensible and not alienate its consumers with stupid proprietary accessories. In Japan at least, a handheld PS6 could well be a game-changer.

Re: Surprise! Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Is Available Now On Switch & Switch 2
Visuals look really nice too; my fears were unfounded.

Re: Pokémon Pokopia Gets March 2026 Release Date, Brand New Trailer Coming This Week
@LastFootnote This is Pokémon we're talking about.
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
@Dr_Wright Nope. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book appears to the closest we'll get to a "tie-in" release. A new 3D Mario will come, but I think it'll be something completely new. Happy to be wrong, mind you.
Re: Hiroshi Yamauchi Might Feel Envious Of Switch 2's Success, Says Miyamoto
@Anti-Matter "Also, I will not call Switch 2 great sales as a success. It was an unfair situation in my opinion."
I'm genuinely curious, what do you mean by this?
Re: Japanese Charts: Dragon Quest 1 & 2 HD-2D Remake Shoves Pokémon Off The Podium

@Nintoz Thank you! It's been a rush this morning
Re: Nintendo Reconfirms Release Windows For Major Upcoming Switch 2 Games
@ShadLink It's Zelda's 40th next year, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of port or remake.
Re: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection Update Announced, Here Are The Patch Notes
@lovesushi Probably UMK3.
Re: Review: Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection (Switch 2) - A Killer Kompilation, But Online Is A Mess At Launch
@OhioStateBuckeyes I think this is another thing Digital Eclipse is currently investigating. At least in terms of the audio.

@SBandy1 I didn't say "all", did I?
Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Topped The Best-Selling Switch Games... In September?
@MoldyPasta Honestly, probably not. Digital pre-orders via the eShop wouldn't count, and anything at retail wouldn't be properly processed until launch.
Re: Metroid Prime 1-3 Art Book Somehow Teases And Debunks An Echoes Remake
@AStupidID Sure, great point!

Re: Metroid Prime 1-3 Art Book Somehow Teases And Debunks An Echoes Remake
@N00BiSH Prime Remastered was conceived well before development of MP4 commenced with Bandai Namco. We're talking 2014.
Re: Surprise! Pikmin 4 Is Getting A Free Content Update On Switch Next Month
@Rob3008 Not Niantic anymore. Scopely works on it now.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Pokémon Legends: Z-A
@kevinm360 Yeah, we'll have some impressions of the Switch version at launch, but I'm fully expecting it to be a bit naff.
Re: Sorry, Nintendo's Recent Pikmin Videos Aren't Hinting At Something More
@canaryfarmer Engagement. It got people talking.
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
Definitely Pikmin. Very familiar music, especially when it first starts at 0:30. Probably just a new series of shorts, but it'd be neat if it leads into a new game announcement.
Re: Rumour: Silent Hill 2 May Be Coming To Switch 2 As Its Exclusivity Window Ends
@Metaphor1987 It's been available on all three of those platforms for months. At the time of writing, Bloober's webpage for the game still just shows Steam and PS5.

Re: Review: HautePad X Arcade Controller For Switch & Switch 2 - A Modular Masterclass At A Premium Price

Re: Random: 'Days Of Our Lives' Character Gets Lucky By Name-Dropping Xenoblade
@BrokenCiv Yeah it's a soap opera, all fixed.
Re: Opinion: Metroid Prime 4 Reminds Me Of Gears 5, And It's Making Me Nervous
@Yoshi3 Thankfully, no. The team got in touch with me prior to the article's release and proved that, remarkably, its similarity is a coincidence.
Re: Review: JSAUX Split Protective Case For Switch 2 -Sleek But Off-Putting Modular Design
@DarthXenos Sure, you can, but if you pick it up with the front panel, gravity will soon prove that it's intended to be used together as a set. It's not secure enough on its own or with the Joy-Con grips.

Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
@TensuraFan7 This is what happens when we prep ahead of time... 😅
Re: Mini Review: Dead Reset (Switch) - A Gory, Sci-Fi Take On Groundhog Day
@Smithicus Not once did Cronos enter my mind when reviewing this game. You gotta try and refrain from comparing reviews of games that have nothing to do with one another.
If we spent time looking at ratings for other games before providing a final score, we'd never get anything done.
Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For Friday, 12th September 2025
@LastFootnote The eventual tweets from Nintendo will no doubt confirm.

@The_Pixel_King Heh, whoops!
Re: UK Charts: Mario Kart World Takes The Lead While Cronos Sees Weak Sales On Switch 2
@Suketoudara Number 5 at the moment:
1. Silksong
2. Star Wars Outlaws
3. Bananza
4. No Man's Sky
5. Cronos
6. Kirby Upgrade Pack
7. Cyberpunk
8. Hogwarts Legacy
9. Kirby Switch 2
10. Grand Bazaar
Re: The Switch eShop And Steam Are Buckling Under The Weight Of Silksong
@IronMan30 Knowing that the issue is not limited to the eShop will potentially provide a modicum of comfort to some.
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil Requiem Could Be Heading To The Switch 2
