The confusing discrepancies of Rosalina’s backstory
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, we’re going over the differences between Rosalina’s backstory in the game and the film. Full spoilers ahead, so please be warned.
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most beloved games in the series, and part of the reason why is that it introduced Rosalina and gave her a good deal of character development compared to others in the Mario series. Of course, her backstory isn’t some super-deep extreme lore type of thing, but it’s still much more than most other characters have received. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie has its own take on her backstory, to say the least.

Today, we’re going over every single aspect of Nintendo Switch Online as well as the strengths and weaknesses of each one to answer the question of whether the service is worth it.

A small issue has seemingly come to light regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller thumbsticks, causing them to be sticky, though it looks like there’s a simple fix.
Today’s news is circulating after a Japanese content creator found small flakes on the left analogue stick after around 350 hours of use. Also, the stick was a bit sticky around the circumference. After opening the controller, it was discovered that the stick cap’s umbrella grinds on the base ring. That’s what’s ultimately causing it to flake.
