Freaking love Yoshiaki Koizumi - a real Nintendo icon and I think a great face for things like Nintendo Direct He totally has that Miyamoto-like joy that is such an integral Nintendo quality

We’ve been passionately working on this for a while, and we’re so proud to finally share it with the world: Velan Studios is the developer of Star Fox™! Collaborating with Nintendo and bringing Fox McCloud and crew to Nintendo Switch 2 is truly an honor. #StarFox #NintendoSwitch2

OOPS

I'm far from the first person to say it, but I wish Nintendo would make more games like BoxBoy and Pullblox/Pushmo again!! I miss weird 3DS puzzle platformers!!!

Just saw that Yuji Ohno, the composer of Lupin III, has passed away. His music has had a massive, massive influence on me - if I sit down at the piano, it's very often a piece by Yuji Ohno that I go to play. All of his music is on streaming, so go listen to the Lupin III theme in his memory :)

The Star Fox Japanese website has background music from the game, so I uploaded it to YouTube for easier listening: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vrf...

Not to go on and on about UK politics, but I really think what Labour is doing right now is going to be looked back on in the same way as Lib Dems' disastrous coalition from 15 years ago. I think there are huge swaths of people that will not vote Labour again, whose trust has been totally broken

NEW VIDEO! How Nintendo modernized Pauline www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dNT... I talk about: - How Pauline was created for the arcade - How a legendary anime artist redesigned her - Why Odyssey's devs decided to bring her back

Has Xbox considered laying one person off instead of thousands: aftermath.site/xbox-layoffs-m...

NEW VIDEO! Mario Kart 8 was full of non-Mario racers: Link, Isabelle, Inkling and more. But in Mario Kart World, these "crossover" characters are completely gone. Even the Miis! Here's why: youtu.be/VAmYK8RMWn8

Drag x Drive coming on August the 14th, via Nintendo Today!

DK Bananza looks just unbelievably great!! like Odyssey 2, but also so much more!! Pauline is my favourite main Mario cast member, so I'm thrilled that she has such a big role in the new game! and the voice definitely sounds like Kate Higgins to me, which is great!

NEW VIDEO! Behind the music of Mario Kart World youtu.be/AScA4zBGLH0 Mario Kart World features one of Nintendo's biggest ever soundtracks, and the music here is really incredible. But how did Nintendo write all of this music? How does the game seamlessly switch between songs? Let's find out!

My brain has gone totally blank! What's the name of the song from around 4:00 in this video? youtu.be/HpTAScmIOxs?...

My Elgato isn't working well with the Switch 2 - dropping lots of frames, and the audio is choppy and cutting out. Anyone know how other brand capture cards are working with Switch 2? I'm open to buying a new capture card anyway, since I've had this a few years now.

NEW VIDEO! How Mario Kart's tracks are created youtu.be/ta_04p2Uv-4

Monolith Soft is truly the best acquisition Nintendo have ever made This is the studio that lent their expertise to team Zelda when they went open world, among many other things

Nintendo just released a new mini episode of Creator's Voice, with Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO - talking about the Switch 2's processor! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic2e...

If you buy or promote Hogwarts Legacy, this is what you are funding. You are funding the removal of transgender human rights. Please DO NOT buy this game, and DO NOT cover this game on social media, or on your blog, or on your YouTube channel. If you do, you are not an ally to transgender people.

NEW VIDEO! Where did Mario's iconic jump sound come from? What makes it so satisfying? And how has it changed over the past 39 years? www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bgA... The origin of Mario’s iconic jump sound

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

Ask the Developers on Mario Kart World just dropped! Super fascinating to read!!! Defo check it out if you're interested in this game and how it came to be! www.nintendo.com/us/whatsnew/...

What a SHOCK, it turns out eroding trans rights impacts on ALL women, both trans and non-trans. (And trans men, of course!) Literally none of this was an issue previously, but now Labour are insistent on putting trans people in danger. And it TURNS OUT that's bad for non-trans people too!

NEW VIDEO! When Nintendo created the Switch in 2017, they wanted the Joy-Cons to attach using magnets. There was only one problem: the controllers kept falling off! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDhj... Here's how Nintendo fixed Magnetic Joy-Cons for the Switch 2!

NEW VIDEO! How the music of Mario Kart has evolved www.youtube.com/watch?v=C918... I look back through 30 years of Mario Kart music, read quotes from the games' composers, analyse the various musical styles + more! From SNES to Switch 2, here's how the music of Mario Kart has evolved!

NEW VIDEO! When's the next Mario game coming? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ6z...

I don't know if this is totally tacky, but whatever the time for caring is long gone lol The UK is daily becoming a worse place for trans people to feel safe, and so if anyone wants to financially help a young trans YouTube creator, check out my Patreon!!!! www.patreon.com/ThomasGameDocs

NEW VIDEO! How Nintendo chooses its launch titles www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPrc...

I don't know how any trans person, anyone with trans friends or family, anyone who considers themselves a trans ally, can ever vote for the Labour party again after all this I feel disgusted and utterly let down by the party who is supposed to be looking after people like me

And Kier Starmer, the leader of Labour, our supposedly left leaning party, is cheering this on! This is meant to be the party who supports minorities and people at risk. And instead they are singlehandedly rolling back trans protections by 10 years, and putting cis and trans women in danger.

The Labour party hate trans people, and they hate cis women who don't "look feminine" enough. The government position is now that any woman suspected of being trans can be stopped from using the women's toilets, and what... have their genitals inspected?? Have a DNA test done??

NEW VIDEO! Mario Kart got its start on the SNES, made by a team of just 8 developers. Flash forward to 2025, and the series is arguably Nintendo's most important franchise! Join me on a 43 minute journey through the development of every single Mario Kart game! youtu.be/ssaZMOYBLzE

I am a woman, I move through the world as a woman, every single person I know treats me as a woman, every new person I meet acknowledges me as a woman, it is ludicrous for any kind of court to pretend I’m not a woman.

NEW VIDEO! The Switch 2 has got a lot of people talking about console prices, so I wanted to revisit the 3DS, whose price Nintendo dropped just 5 months after launch! Learn the inside story of the 3DS launch, and how it went wrong! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqHV...

labour are absolutely deluded. ‘minorities are disregarded too, in labour’s case, because as one of starmer’s circle told me, “they will vote for us whatever. and you will too. they are our captive voters.”’ archive.ph/pjyjJ

This is one of my favourite musical performances that I keep coming back to again and again Chappell Roan performing Gaga's true greatest song, Bad Romance - it's just so truly joyful in a time where we have to take any queer joy where we can get it! youtube.com/watch?v=txCz...
