A Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase has been announced for tomorrow at 2pm, as per the Nintendo Today app. What do you hope to see?

Oh hey I remember Yoshi on the original Game Boy. Known as Mario & Yoshi here in the UK, it was one of my most disappointing purchases back in the day. It’s not a bad game, just a very serviceable puzzle game without the addictiveness of Tetris. Balloon Kid looks interesting though.

Is Xenoblade 2 making a comeback on Switch 2?

Ever wondered what happened before Super Mario Land 2? If so, check out this interview with the developer behind Wario’s Conquest + Super Mario Land 2 Reimagined. It’s a remake and prequel in one package! gamingreinvented.com/interview/le...

Just tested what happens if Link has no way to finish off the Demon Dragon in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ao...

Oh hey I ranked the dungeons in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Check out the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=E78m...

Capture card sales are gonna skyrocket. Kinda a shame this limitation exists, though fortunately there’ll be loads of ways around it.

QRP with a game you like but everyone else hates. —- Hmm this was a tough choice. But gonna say Color Splash because it’s a fun time, and a game with a lot of charm. Great writing too. Just came out at the worst possible time on the worst possible system.

Have to admit, I’m kinda surprised they were still going in some form. After Mighty No 9, the only thing I recall them doing was the odd bit of support work.

Seems plausible. Both are popular first party GameCube titles and both relate heavily to games available on the Switch/Switch 2.

Damn who’d have expected to see Mouser and Clawgrip in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie? Not me, that’s for sure!

Did you know that some Gloom Spawn locations are randomised in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? More info here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=whwm...

Voted for Wario Land here. No new game since 2008 is just crazy to me.

I always got the impression that this was meant to test the waters for a possible ‘open world’ 3D Mario platformer, and that the next big game will use a similar structure. Bowser’s Fury is still amazing in its own right though. Such a good game.

This is kinda horrifying, and shows the damage things like AI previews are causing.

Interesting find here. Not sure what a new Switch 2 model could be this early on, but there are a few possibilities if it’s not just a tech placeholder.

For this random #WIPWednesday, here are some Wario Land enemies and obstacles recreated in SMW for my still not done project. No, I’m not recreating every expanded universe Mario enemy and obstacle. At least I don’t think.

So the Mario & Luigi: Brothership soundtrack is on Nintendo Music. That’s pretty neat. Does make me wish the game had per area battle themes though. Honestly, just cut a deal with this YouTuber and canonise these remixes: www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Lh... Add one for Bowser too!

This is especially true of video game modding and speedrunning communities, which are currently far too reliant on Discord for everything. Makes me glad the likes of MFGG hasn’t gone all in on that platform.

Didn’t Sherlock fans do this as well? (Even if an ending is bad, it’s best not to expect them to suddenly reveal it was a fake out)

Kinda missed the whole #ScreenshotSaturday thing, but messed around with some minor enemy edits for my somehow still not done video game mod.

Happy new year folks! Hope 2026 treats you well, and we get all the awesome games we wanted this year!

Probably that time this random BotW clip hit 6 million views: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfji... Or the times my tutorials for BotW and TotK glitches got covered by various gaming publications. Was always fun to see Nintendo Life or GoNintendo feature my videos.

Grifting is a goddamn plague for most game and media franchises now. If you listened to certain YouTubers, you’d think every Switch 2 game bombed hard and Nintendo was in severe financial trouble. But persistent negativity brings YouTube clicks, so the insanity continues.

Well, it’s a bit late for #screenshotsaturday, but here’s the redone version of my mod’s first boss nonetheless. #modding #romhacking

Merry Christmas folks! Hope you have a great day and get everything you wanted this year.

Oh hey I posted a video about what Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity does better than its sequel Age of Imprisonment. Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKD8...

I’ve answered this before, but damn, I’ll say another one too. Palm Tree Paradise in Wario Land 4 uses the debug level tiles as ground in one room, they’re just hidden beneath the real foreground.

Hmm, who do you think we’ll see get statues in future DLC waves for #DonkeyKongBananza? Personally I’d say Tiki Tong and one of the minor Tikis are a sure bet. Funky Kong, Swanky Kong, Candy Kong and a few others seem very likely. The Bananza forms are basically guaranteed…

Have to be honest, my biggest challenge when trying to work on anything (#gamedev especially) is feature/scope creep. I find it more fun to code features than design levels or create content, and struggle to make do with what’s already there. Anyone else feel the same way?

If you’re a fan of the Mario RPGs and don’t own either of these games, this price is one hell of a steal. The Mario RPGs remake is incredible, and Brothership is a really good game if you stick with it.

Mega Man got a new game announced at the Game Awards? Glad to see it, really wondered what was gonna happen to that series after the success of Mega Man 11. And as cheesy as this is… I feel like I kinda predicted we’d see something soon.

There is a sort of point here, in that the industry is very AAA focused for things like awards and sales analysis. But the mobile gaming industry isn’t helping itself here given how so many games there are basically digital casinos with a video game skin.

Aren’t both these games implied to be set in the same universe? I recall some sort of cameo there. But nice to see them added. Seems Ubisoft games can come to this service too.

Oh hey I created a few Zelda inspired enemies for my SMW mod. #romhacking #modding #gamedev

Gonna be a bit cynical here, but I feel a bit disappointed that talk of independent games journalism and media outlets completely ignores the indie outlets that have been running for decades at this point. Loads of bloggers and YouTubers and newsletter writers do good work, but get ignored.

Did you know you can glitch your way into the low-poly version of the world map found beneath Rainbow Road in Mario Kart World? Learn more here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-stN...

Remade a few more enemies and bosses for my Mario game mod… #modding #romhacking #gamedev

Oh yeah finally cleared the latest Emerald Rush event in Donkey Kong Bananza. Getting 1 million emeralds for Chunky Kong was a pain…

Oh hey I just posted a quick video about how to modify Autobuild Tears of the Kingdom to summon anything via Autobuild: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CenA... God I wish this wasn’t patched on the latest version…

For a late #WIPWednesday, here are a few Super Mario Land enemies I remade for my SMW mod.

Nintendo announced a free update for Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment launching on November 27th. - New challenges - New weapons - New sync strike for Zelda/Calamo + More

If you somehow escape the defence mini game at Kara Kara Bazaar in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, the Gerudo in Gerudo Town have different dialogue and locations than they do before or after said mini game. Also there’s a cave from the last game they just sealed up by blocking the door.

It’s definitely nowhere near done, but it’s still kinda impressive to see how much of the game they’ve got running on PS1 so far. Kinda makes me want to see more iconic N64 games on PS1, and vice versa.

I basically had two passions that could have become viable career paths: tech and journalism. Looking at the writing on the wall and the collapse of the former, as well as the pay each offered respectively, I chose the former. My site and channel are my outlet for journalism.

Posted a video about obscure boss facts and trivia in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Check out the video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tScj...

Did you know that you can trivialise the fight with Colgera using bomb arrows in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Learn more here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Polk...

Didn’t share much game dev stuff for a while, but I recently remade a New Super Mario Bros enemy for my SMW mod. #modding #romhacking #gamedev

Super Mario World is just so bizarre visually speaking. It’s all over the place in every respect. Still, it’s got a lot of charm. And hey, if you want consistency, there are mods for that: www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=... www.smwcentral.net?p=section&a=...

That’s ridiculous. This is basically a company trying to censor journalism or technical documentation. Hope it gets resolved soon.
