Starting this New Year, Commission Prices return to normal, but now with a new detail that Fully rendered Prints include a YouTube Speed Draw Video, if you want it.

If you ever want me to draw something for you, I'm always open.
20 minutes. Not a bad time frame.

I might stream a reaction to this.
A 20-minute Nintendo Direct dedicated to Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream will air this Thursday. gameinformer.com/2026/01/26/t...

So, we got a Direct on a Sunday, and a Direct announced three days in advance within the same week.

We really are looking at a new era of Directs from Nintendo in 2026. We've got to start preparing for a new "Normal" from them.

Not gonna lie; I kinda prefer the one on the left.

Something about Frogger looking like a red-eyed tree frog just sits right with me, y'know?

The fact that problematic voice actors aren't behind held accountable for their words or actions in the industry has pretty much drawn me away from pursuing voice acting as a career.

I do still want to some day, but I'd honestly treat it more like a hobby that pays than something to strive for.

Most people would think a Direct isn't happening because of all the reveals and drops we've gotten this month alone.

Nah, man. That just means they've got more surprises for us to be revealed when the Direct does happen. They've done this exact thing before.
So...
Mario Tennis Fever trailer ✅️
DK Country Returns Update ✅️
Mario Wonder S2 Update✅️
Mario Movie sneak peak ✅️
Final Fantasy VII ✅️

Man, this week is one hell of a Nintendo Direct, huh?

Once again, getting this stuff out of the for the Big news is smart on Nintendo's part!

We know that this is one of the few games specifically bound for the Switch 1 this year. Will there be a Switch 2 Edition, or will it just get an update to run better on the Switch 2?

That's probably the biggest thing I'm wondering about this game at the moment.
Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream - Nintendo Direct announced for January 29th, 6 AM PT

Okay, this, I actually didn't see coming. I will most certainly be tuning in for this one.

I guess this makes the inevitable General Direct a little more open for Rhythm Heaven Groove and Splatoon Raiders.

Seeing the Super Scope in the Mario Galaxy Movie trailer does serve to reinvigorate my hope that we'll see NES Zapper and Super Scope games added to Nintendo Classics the same way we got SNES Mouse games.

That would be an awesome thing to throw in the next Nintendo Direct, not gonna lie.

Listening to Yoshi's voice again a little more clearly, I can't say for certain, but it KINDA sounds like Frank Welker.

I certainly hope that's the case. If we can give Kevin Michael Richardson high billing as Kamek, then we can certainly give another voice acting legend his due as Yoshi.

That's crazy that it took a first party Nintendo game two whole months to reach 1 Million sold. Maybe it's because folks aren't as into Warriors games or spin-offs as much as main titles.

So, Gravity Rush is totally getting ported to all platforms by Bandai Namco, right?

My Animal Crossing run will officially end after my Birthday, when I've gotten all the updated settings for my Island the way I want.

However, like Kirby Air Riders, I will occasionally return to this complete package if I need a palate cleanser from life or an escape from the real world's horrors.
January 26, 2026 at 3:00 AM
I'm not a football enthusiast, but I do join in when my household watches the Super Bowl. Because the 49ers didn't make it, that is not this year.

Well, at least my plans for my Birthday weekend are still a-go, even without a Sunday event to cap it off.
January 26, 2026 at 2:57 AM
Side note: I like that Yoshi's characteristics shift between animal-like and anthropomorphic, both of which come off like a curious child.
TOAD IS JEALOUS OF YOSHI BEING IN THEIR FRIEND GROUP! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 #SuperMarioGalaxyMovie

Probably for the best that we don't translate the meaning when Yoshi says, "Yoshi."
A bizarre moment from this morning’s Nintendo Direct has left fans feeling bewildered.

I mean, now that Yoshi's revealed, they can officially start showing these off.

Friendly reminder that she was here first, and ICE, basically white, are the invaders.
ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

The day kinda got away from me (Mario Movie Trailer Hype, naturally), so I'm putting off continuing animation to tomorrow morning. Easier on my hand that way.

Plus, I think I have just enough video time to fill out a full morning session.

I love that they use the official Chain Chomp sound clip.
