A #Kirby campaign is happening RIGHT NOW in Japan featuring food, drinks and merch! If you manage to beat the crazy Kirby fans, you may even be able to get some of this stuff yourself (not likely lol). Details here: www.thefamicast.com/2025/11/kirb...

Kazuki Motoyama, writer/artist on the Super Mario manga, has passed away http://gonintendo.com/contents/54843-kazuki-motoyama-writer-artist-on-the-super-mario-manga-has-passed-away #mario

Looks like the McRib is once again skipping the North Eastern part of the United States. I was so hyped McDonald's! Why do you frequently do this to us? Rib Season is canceled.

🔥Do you realize who you're dealing with? #LEGOTheLegendofZelda

Not the news I ever wanted to see from a Nintendo published physical game. Very sad day.

This is a very similar situation to playing older games on a CRT.

good reminder that Sylux was never a throwaway character. They seeded this plot line in Hunters and have stuck to it. "There’s still more I want to build around the story of Sylux and Samus. There’s something going on between them. I want to make a game that touches upon it." Kensuke Tanabe 2015

Can't wait to gorge myself on Yoshi Egg cookies.

So nice that Kirby Air Riders tells you who you've damaged unlike Mario Kart. Mario Kart did so in Tour but they refuse to do it on console.

Remembering the Luigi spaghetti incident of 2002

Based on what we know, Metroid Prime 4 feels more like a follow up to the Hunters storyline than the mainline Prime trilogy. So I decide to replay Metroid Prime Hunters for the first time since it came out. youtu.be/Bed6ETd_d6Y

Rare SNSP Final Checker from #Nintendo UJI Plant #Kyoto.

The Kirby Air Riders: Global Test Ride is now available for download in North America. www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Before Metroid Prime 4 launches next month, join us to revisit 2006's Metroid Prime Hunters. This ambitious title from NST (with help from Retro) sought to bring Metroid Prime to a handheld while also adapting it into a competitive online shooter. It also introduced us to Sylux. youtu.be/Bed6ETd_d6Y

Day #155: Pokemon (1998)

The first video game-themed Happy Meal was the SUPER MARIO BROS 3 set from 1990. It had one of the sweetest countertop displays ever… how could a kid resist this?!?!

I've secured the pie for sickos.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf was added to Nintendo Music this week but sadly lacks the DJ KK remixes as played in Club LOL. Really disappointing.

Last month at PRGE, we held a reunion panel with Nintendo employees who launched the NES. Hear from Bruce Lowry, Gail Tilden, and Lance Barr about how the scrappy staff at NOA defied all odds and released one of the most iconic game systems ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2WDfsiLiRA

Didn't want to jinx it before it was in my hands but I managed to find a beautiful copy of this 1987 #Nintendo calendar with a piece of #Zelda art we had only seen in Art & Artifacts miscredited as for the 1994 re-release of Z1 AFAIK this is the earliest official illustrated face we have for Ganon!

The Nintendo Store App has some cool features but it bringing up a web browser for most things you can click on makes it feel half-assed.

The flip side of this (real silver!) medal features the familiar N&B Block playing boy, who is also shown on various boxes and a instruction booklet. Did you know that this was the son of Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi?

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.

Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA #prge #prge2025 #retrogaming #VGHF

Play has just ended for my mobile GOTY, McDonald's Monopoly. This may be the greatest fast food promotion ever. Walked away with a few prizes and nearly 90 food items I have to cash out in a few weeks. Nothing like taking back from a multi-hundred billion dollar corporation. Now to enter a McComa.

StrawberrWii Banana Slurpee (2006-2006): A strawberry-banana flavored slush drink from 7-11, released to promote the then-brand new Nintendo Wii. 7-11 ran a promotion where the code on your Slurpee cup could be entered on a website for a chance to win one of 711 Wii consoles.

While playing in the official Splatoon Salmon Run tournament to earn a Nintendo Icon I have discovered a previously undocumented icon. This is for the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Championship 2024. This was what one player was using as an icon. There are likely other rare undocumented tourney icons. Wild!

At least LA will be destroyed tonight.

Can anyone give me an example of a Hero-Shooter that predates Metroid Prime Hunters in 2006? Not a class-based shooter but one with all individually named characters that have distinct abilities unique to each character.

I started Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the item pickup sound is so close to the Donkey Kong barrel jump sound it's driving me crazy.

RIP to my good friend Bug. We will always miss her so much.

STOP THE PRESSES. The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon. @hg101.bsky.social

Very happy to add this to the Before Mario collection: 1960s silver medal "N&B Block Nintendo" Comes in a small Paulownia box, similar to one used for hanafuda cards Presumably a prize in a competition, but backstory still unknown

Finally got my first "God Pack" in Pokémon TCG Pocket and it figures I'd get two of the Immersive Card I already got!

There's a new, maybe, Halloween shirt available at physical Nintendo stores in the US. These are not part of the previous line though that had the Mario crew's Halloween atire and the date on the back. Also they may not be made by Sportiqe. Has annoying tag on neck now. Loved Sportiqe. Bad move.

The Animal Crossing Update stuff is cool but I still can't believe there are no mini games for friends to play or a revealed upgrade to make traveling to a friend's island faster revealed for Switch 2. Can't imagine how long a 12 person game will take to get going.

Never forget the real Animal Crossing Zelda themed Villagers!

Completed the first Donkey Kong Bananza Emerald Rush event last night and earned myself the limited Enguarde and Kong Bananza statues!

Group effort when we got together & repaired this #zelda art. IkhanaKingdom, @mrtalida.bsky.social & @rupakoopatroopa.bsky.social contributed scans of various merch & @jeffersontaylor.com did an incredible job compiling & cleaning to make the best looking & most complete image of this we've ever had

It's been little over a week and I haven't seen anyone else discuss this. The Nintendo Power Podcast feed is either mistakenly or purposely offline. There hasn't been an episode in two years as it did sort of end. That said there was no notice on past episodes being pulled.

today i finally set it up so that the lights work on my Samus and Meta Ridley figures. i love them

Three years ago in Georgia, working to get approval to do the World's Largest Donkey Kong!

Trick or treat! Active Nintendo Switch Online members who participate in the upcoming Splatoween event between 10/24 5pm PT and 10/26 5pm PT will receive these Icon elements! These Icon elements will be distributed after the event.

Been taking a look at the Ancient Language found in Donkey Kong Bananza but am burned out and don't have the time to dig further. You can check out my Google Sheet to see all the symbols and much of the in game text. Hopefully someone takes the ball on deciphering it docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

This Parade Balloon could really use a cape or something.

New Luigi and Boo Glow in the Dark Straw Tumbler now available on the North American Nintendo Online Store for $29.99! www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

I know I'll get hate for this, but nobody playing this game with a keyboard is the record holder to me.

Probably found my Kirby Air Riders main!

Can we let Sakurai make the next Mario Kart?

Definitely some new costumes this year.
