Anything but a new game (dw, I'm sure it's soon)

HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, MARIO! To celebrate, @georgebanks.bsky.social @jon.gvg.io and @nantenjex.bsky.social are turning the clock back even further to resurrect the arcade classic Mario Bros - the first *true* Mario game, on this weeks NintenDormant - a Nintendo podcast. youtu.be/sEd7v9x8BMU?...

I have two questions for all the lovely folk on here. One: has anyone made an online Mii Editor where you can actually download a 3D model of your Mii? Two: does anyone know, or know someone who does know, how to extract a 3D model from a 3DS game? I have an idea for a project.

Wait a second! They made it so you can now unlock the NPC drivers in Free Roam mode and it is way easier than relying on Kamek. You just need to absorb the NPC into the UFO and it unlocks them as a racer.

All collectables in Mario Kart World acquired! I feel like I fell into an alternative reality though as I was missing way more medallions than I thought...

16 - Donkey Kong #pixelart

This is the relieved face of someone who beat all four games in Super Mario All-Stars in just under 4 hours. Coming in clutch right at the end.

SMB 1, SMB2 and SMB3 all beaten. Now it's time to torture myself with the Lost Levels!

It's time to begin #Supermariothon 2025! I'm kicking it off by speedrunning THE Super Mario anniversary game: Super Mario All-Stars. We are raising money for @ACLU. Come and hangout with me over on Twitch or YouTube. www.twitch.tv/sourcecast youtube.com/live/-cnW4Mx... #Supermariothon

News moves fast - and the Nintendo Direct already feels like ages ago. But if you want to hear our thoughts on it, and some mini pitches for formerly dormant Nintendo games, tune in to this week’s NintenDormant - a Nintendo Podcast. youtu.be/jIqOj2sanHY?...

going live!

In less than an hour, I'm going to be going live with a special stream. I will be playing through Donbe & Hikari's debut game, Famicom Fairytales: Shin Onigashima in English! I've never played this game before (due to it being previously Japanese only). 8pm BST! youtube.com/live/YNbcrAW...

I don't know why the thumbnail is appearing here. It should look like this!

Royalty Free-For-All is a new platform fighter with the potential to be one of the best. It takes characters and worlds in the public domain and fantastically reimagines them in this currently in-development title. Check out @nantenjex.bsky.social's thoughts here. youtu.be/eQLIASwUO64

Update on my Pokemon Grass-only run. I have now beaten Blaine, who I expected would be my biggest hurdle. And I did it while having a team 7-levels below his Arcanine. I'm glad he wasted his Super Potions on his Growlithe and Ponyta. Now back to the mainland to go and fight Sabrina!

I'm glad Sonic Racing CrossWorld has reviewed well. Now I get two cakes!

Nintendo has the ideal Mario Kart World promotional character to advertise Super Mario Galaxy next year, just saying.

I wish more people playing Pokemon TCG Pocket were adding to their wishlists. It would make it way easier to trade with people if I knew what they needed.

ICYMI: to celebrate Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary, I spoke with the community and put together your rankings of every Super Mario series, from least fun to most fun.

A different type of episode this week: 5 micro pitches for 5 series Nintendo are bringing back. Real quickfire ideas from Jon and I for Mario Tennis, Kirby Air Ride, Rhythm Heaven, Tomodachi Life and Yoshi's Island.

Unexpected! Is this the first or second Klonoa GBA game?

And I am going live! Come and hang out with me as I rank every Mario game from best to worst.

It's a few days late but my Super Mario 40th Anniversary video is now live! Using the results of the Super Mario Bros. Super Poll that you all filled out earlier this year, here is every Mario series ranked from least fun to most fun! youtu.be/5G06lnSMieY

Disclaimer: I have experience working with lawyers on patent and trademark applications, but am not one myself. So don’t trust me, or any Internet randos for that matter. The patent text is the best source. patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/de... www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/c1801/PU/JP-... 3/

And this is fine. I wouldn't really call it a hot take even, the console failed for a reason. But some of us do want to play Virtual Boy games. While the system itself is flawed, many of these games are meant to be really good. There's no expectation that everyone has to like everything shown.

I wanted to have Mario's friends done as well but didn't have time. At least I got the birthday boy himself completed. Happy 40th Anniversary Super Mario Bros! #pixelart #supermario

So apparently all that talk about the Pokémon Company putting a patent in for summoning monsters was almost entirely bogus. Yes, they did put a patent in place based around capturing and summoning monsters but it only covers direct copy or plagiarism of Pokémon's structure/combat and the code.

Was Super Mario Land really the hero's "best adventure yet" upon release? @legendcartboy.bsky.social investigates! #BeatTheBacklog

I think it's interesting that in the DK series redesign, they decided to take Candy Kong back to her DK64 design instead of keeping her Paon design. It's the right call but I find that interesting. I wonder what they'll do with Tiny Kong?

Before Samus, there was another bad ass Nintendo girl riding a motorbike across futuristic deserts. MACH RIDER! It also looks like the gameplay is *genuinely close* to some of the things we pitched alongside @jon.gvg.io in this podcast ep from a while back! youtu.be/kUxzkQxr_hI?...

So, do we all agree that Mario Tennis Fever's 38 character roster will just be the 30 characters from Aces, plus the five babies shown in the trailer and then 3 actual new characters? Who do we think those three characters will be?

I have busy afternoon getting my Mario 40th Anniversary video done. It's an hour long so I need to lock-in.

Maybe this is jumping the gun a bit but if Nintendo is going out of their way to put VB on NSO then I do believe they plan to have everything on Switch eventually. Game & Watch, Pokémon Mini, Arcade, E-Reader and so on.

I can't believe the new Fire Emblem added the Chicken Jockey class.

Happy 40th Anniversary to Super Mario Bros! It looks even better today than I remember it.

Samus on a motorbike is cool but there is a real small part of my Nintendo obsessed brain that thought "This would've made a cooler Mach Rider game."

It's 3am in the morning, on the verge of sleep, and from the corner of your room all you hear is an unprompted "I can't believe you said that today. Awkward."

Well, that was a big Nintendo Direct, huh?

Where's Nester's Funky Bowling Nintendo?

Had an incredible IMAX experience watching Demon Slayer Infinity Castle. The music and visuals elevated the source material to new heights.

Oh wait, that's Rosalina in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. More Super Mario Galaxy tie-ins

Can't believe Nintendo revealed two new Mario Kart drivers in the Mario Tennis trailer.

I have to run off now to go see Demon Slayer, so I leave you with a video of my reaction to Virtual Boy Classics being a real thing that exists. youtu.be/t1uhKLFYNA8

Finally, another three years of Fire Emblem Three Houses discourse. I was getting worried for a second.

Kirby has been added as a theme in the Nintendo Today app, joining the EPD 5. Given Kirby already had its own little precense in the Nintendo Store, I wonder if we'll see him become a full-fledged member soon?

Last day to enter this giveaway! I'll be announcing the winner after the Direct today.

If it's true that the film is Super Mario Galaxy based, I don't know how to feel. That seems to me like an extreme jump of the shark. Where do you even go from there? What about the Yoshi Egg tease?

Return of peak?
