Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park review
Posted on 1 month ago by Nicholas Serpa in News | 0 comments
System: Switch 2
Release date: March 26, 2026
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
When Super Mario Bros. Wonder landed on the original Nintendo Switch back in 2023, it managed to breathe new life into Mario’s side-scrolling adventures. The game’s exuberant personality – manifested through relentlessly creative stages, impressively expressive animations, and plenty of surprises along the way – led me to write a glowingly positive review, and everything I said at the time remains true today. It’s a singular experience both in the genre, and for Mario, but if you somehow haven’t played it yet… well, your patience may have paid off. With the release of the game’s Switch 2 version, elegantly titled Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, the title receives some new single-player and multiplayer content, optimizations for Nintendo’s latest console, and a smattering of quality-of-life features.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream FAQ details 70 Mii limit, Nintendo Switch 2 improvements, and more
Posted on 1 month ago by Cris-(chito) in News, Switch | 0 comments
A Japanese FAQ page for Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream has been released on the Nintendo website, answering a couple of questions many fans have had about the title since the reveal of the game and launch of the demo. The title is set to release on April 16, 2026 for the Nintendo Switch, with a free demo out on the eShop.
A few fans were able to datamine the demo of the game and find that islands would be limited to 70 Miis. Nintendo has now officially confirmed that this is true in this FAQ. They have also revealed that the title will not support the Nintendo Switch 2’s newly added handheld mode boost function; instead, the title will simply run at a 1080p resolution undocked on the Nintendo Switch 2. There is no mention regarding to whether there will be any sort of boost while running on a docked Nintendo Switch 2, but they have made it clear that mouse mode is not supported. Another couple of interesting tidbits is that married couples are able to have babies regardless of their gender, and that Nintendo actually condones sharing posts about the game on social media, despite the heavy screenshot and clip sharing restrictions placed on the game.

Miyamoto indicates Super Smash Bros. movie won’t be happening any time soon
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
While hopes of a Super Smash Bros. movie had never been higher, it’s time to pump the breaks a bit as Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto has indicated that such a project won’t be happening anytime soon.
Miyamoto was recently discussing The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and how it has characters like Pikmin and R.O.B. With some fans discussing the possibility of a “Nintendo Cinematic Universe”, Polygon asked how how much he wants to grow Mario’s world to bring in other characters.

Shigeru Miyamoto says he’s “on a mission to try to include Pikmin in any kind of Nintendo product we put up”
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
It’s no secret that Pikmin is Shigeru Miyamoto’s baby. Miyamoto was also responsible for the likes of Mario and Zelda, but he’s always had a soft spot for the plant-animal hybrid creatures.
Even when Pikmin wasn’t lighting the sales charts on fire, Miyamoto never gave up on Pikmin. The series has now seen four different titles and is popping up elsewhere. You may have spotted Pikmin at Super Nintendo World, and now the creatures even have a cameo appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite cloud version delisted from eShop, servers to shut down in August
Posted on 1 month ago by Cris-(chito) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
As it turn out, Aliens: Fireteam Elite has been delisted from the Nintendo Switch’s eShop. The cloud title is no longer available to purchase on the console, and will become fully unplayable on August 5, 2026.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a cooperative third-person survival shooter set in the Aliens universe, with the only Nintendo Switch release of the game being a cloud version. Since it’s 2023 launch, many users have reported experiencing harsh latency issues as cloud gaming doesn’t mesh well with the online multiplayer focus of the game. Now less than two years after the title’s release on Nintendo Switch, it has been unceremoniously removed from the eShop.
