Did not expect the story of Mario Tennis Fever to basically begin with “Daisy is on her deathbed.”

Great article explaining the messy releases of Switch 2 Editions so far. I really wish Nintendo would separate the Switch 2 performance updates, which should be free, from the new content, which I am fine with them charging extra for.
I attended a Nintendo preview event last week and played a TON of stuff coming to Switch 2.
First, after playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park, we need to have a talk about Nintendo's annoying Switch 2 Edition strategy:

The first-party Nintendo Switch 2 Editions have been wildly inconsistent across their price points, amount of new content, and quality of enhancements, and I’m frankly tired of Nintendo filling out it...

I think my favorite version of a game tutorial is when the tutorial is a in-game place called something like “The Rules Club” full of people saying things like “Hey Shrimp, you can select things with A. Pretty wild, right?”

The recent Nintendo Classics NSO update has introduced Balloon Kid to the library and I consider it to be one of Nintendo's best but often overlooked Game Boy games.
But there's actually a little more going on with this game than what most Nintendo fans realize.

I was just thinking about how much I enjoy the medium of podcasts and realized I have been consuming them for over 20 years now! So I wrote up a post about some of my favorites, both past and present. #podcasts

Nintendo has released its top selling software through the end of 2025 for the Switch 2. Mario Kart World continues to impress with 14 million copies sold and I was so pleased to see Kirby Air Riders make an appearance with 1.76 million copies sold! #NintendoSwitch2 #MarioKartWorld #KirbyAirRiders

Nintendo bringing finished-but-unreleased Virtual Boy games to Switch is fantastic news. Zero Racers is an F-Zero spinoff! D-Hopper is an action adventure by Intelligent Systems! These are big deal internally-developed Nintendo games. Exciting times for big nerds

-V-Tetris
Previously unreleased games coming later this year:
