    Yoshi and the Mysterious Book gets new trailer along with release date

    I find the art looks beautiful, but I can't imagine a huge audience for this game; it looks a bit text-heavy and deep for younger kids, but too slow and boring for most older kids. It really kind of reminds me of Kirby Dream Land 3 with its slower gameplay and sometimes convoluted puzzles (e.g...

    Nintendo releases new animated short film, "Close to You"

    I think this is exactly right. This definitely feels like it's a portrayal of Miyamoto's idea of "Pikmin can be all around you, at any time", which I think he said in an interview a few years ago.

    Yet another Switch 2 leak provides a detailed look at console and features

    To be fair it was hard for even tech literate folks to understand what exactly the Wii U was thanks to the actual console barely being visible in any of their marketing at the time. The announcement trailer + commercials only ever highlighted the gamepad, and the gameplay footage shown would be...

    This is just a non-portable gaming laptop without a screen.

    "Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition", a new NES Remix-like game, launching July 18th

    I feel like I'm part of the audience that appreciates bite-sized portions of NES gaming and speedruns + high scores so I'm down with this. I was trying to spot what the 13th game was, then realized they're counting "The Lost Levels" as one of the games. Pshh Would be cool if they were able to...

    Rockstar's parent company Take-Two files trademark opposition dispute for Remedy's new logo

    And they tried to sue the developers of "It Takes Two"? I gotta wonder if Rockstar just allocates a heap of money to their legal department and they have to find ways to blow it.

    "Game Porting Toolkit" by Apple will allow Windows games to run on Mac, similar to Proton on Linux

    Years ago I probably would've hopped on the "why would u game on a Mac" train, but now since using an M1 Max Macbook pro for the last year, I'd love to have better game compatibility on this machine. It's the best laptop I've ever owned, and it turns out that most misgivings people have about...

    Why do i have to go to school

    Become a nerd. Really. If I could go back and change one thing about high school & early college, it'd be how mentally present I was for the actual courses. (.. Actually that's a lie, it would definitely be changing how insecure I acted – anyone you see 5+ years after high school is going to...

    Nintendo used the TX court case to "send a message", Gary Bowser's health potentially at risk in prison

    Glad to hear he's been able to sober up – good for him!

    New overview trailer details Mario Strikers: Battle League

    Yeah, it would be GREAT if they had options to strip down the extras and play a more bare-bone game. I even preferred that the original didn't have bg music in-game, because the sounds of the crowd and overall hectic-ness was done so well. Plus, when the overtime music kicks in it feels extra...
