Nintendo and Illumination almost gave Yoshi his own movie
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
According to Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto, a Yoshi movie was very much under consideration at one point.
You may recall that in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a few Yoshis do appear – but only extremely briefly. There was also a post credits scene hinting at Yoshi getting a more prominent role in the future.
Now speaking with Famitsu, Miyamoto revealed that before settling on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie a Yoshi film was considered at one point. The proposal was focused on the character “entangled in various escapades across New York City”.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: April 16, 2026
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
Nintendo’s loveable avatar characters are back and wackier than ever in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, a sequel to the cult-followed 3DS sim, which in itself was a sequel to the Japan-exclusive DS title Tomodachi Collection. The charm of the Nintendo 3DS release came in adding Miis based on your friends, family, and celebrities into one building and seeing how they got on together, how their interactions went, and meddling with their affairs. This holds true in the new entry; you play God, and on a brand new island, you invite your Miis to come and live in a paradise of your own creation. As cool as it is to create and customize new residents, giving them new toys to fiddle with, finding out what foods they like and what clothes they prefer, and how creative you can get with building relationships between Miis, unfortunately, as is classic Nintendo, for how creative and innovative you can get with the game, the overall product is held back by the company’s antiquated approach to online sharing and interactivity.

The best Pokemon in Champions’ Season M-1
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Today, we’re going over some of the best Pokemon in Pokemon Champions Season M-1, and what each one does. We’ll also be covering both singles and doubles.
The first season of Pokemon Champions is still ongoing until May 12, and surprisingly, a lot of players really like the current format – it doesn’t allow for any Legendary or Mythical Pokemon, and many power-boosting items are strangely absent from the game. Inconvenient as the latter may be, it means the power level of the metagame is probably the lowest it’ll ever be. That means it’s a great time to get involved and build your own team.
