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”

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 6 days 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.

4 ways Animal Crossing can learn from Pokemon Pokopia for its next game
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan Gnau in Features, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
When Pokemon Pokopia was first announced for Nintendo Switch 2, I don’t think any of us really saw the game’s incredible success coming. However, it released to rave reviews just recently, and it’s so polished and well thought-out that it truly gives Animal Crossing a run for its money. In fact, many of Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ biggest problems – namely its lackluster multiplayer and numerous design hurdles and limitations – feel like they were specifically addressed in Pokemon Pokopia. As a result, Pokopia actually feels like another Animal Crossing game – just with an overarching story and a bigger focus on progression. Compared to New Horizons, Pokopia has been met with an outpouring of love and support from the Pokemon community – in fact, it may be the best-received Pokemon title of the past several years. So today, we’re going over all of the bits and pieces Animal Crossing could lift from Pokopia for its next title.
