Yesterday brought the surprise news that Fox McCloud would be in the Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Now we know who will voice the Star Fox character: Glen Powell. And he seems pretty excited.

After creating an HDMI upgrade kit for the Sega Genesis called the Megaswitch HD, Stanislav Parhomovich has announced a similar solution for the original Super Nintendo. By avoiding the console’s analog output hardware and connecting directly to its digital buses, the Superswitch HD mod will enable crisp 1080p output (upscaled) over HDMI.

It may be called the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, but Nintendo’s next film is giving off some Smash Bros. vibes now that we know Fox McCloud will make an appearance.

EasySMX followed up its excellent S10 controller with the cheaper S10 Lite that’s better in one very cool way and a little worse in others. Ultimately, its cheaper price is worth paying for comfy ergonomics and native Switch 2 software support, but the S10 is still the leader in our updated buying guide.

So far, the only brick-built versions of Mario you can get are the electronic interactive ones, the super-sized version driving a kart, and the pixelated 2D ones. But according to a short video teaser Nintendo of America shared on X, Super Mario Lego minifigures are enroute, you’ll just have to wait until next year to get them.

Nintendo has given a release date for the adorable Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, which hits the Switch 2 on May 21st. Donald Glover unfortunately does not make an appearance in the new trailer.

So here’s a lengthy trailer for the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which includes a dramatic rendition of Mario saying “mama mia” and a surprising amount of action. More importantly is the news that Yoshi will be voiced by Donald Glover. The movie hits theaters on April 1st.

If you have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, you’ll be able to play the Virtual Boy version of Mario Tennis and a game called Mario Clash starting March 10th. (That’s Mario Day.) Nintendo is also adding the Game Boy Advance version of Mario vs. Donkey Kong to the service.

The first two months of the year have been bust with showcases from Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and The Pokémon Company. And now Nintendo is back with its latest Indie World event. It’s streaming on March 3rd at 9AM ET, and Nintendo says it’ll be around 15 minutes long.

Those aren’t typos indicating I should get my head checked. Rather, it’s how the design reads on the new $99.99 Resident Evil Requiem-themed Switch 2 Pro controller. The custom look adds $10 to the already pricey gamepad that lacks more durable TMR joysticks found in great options that are less than half the cost.

As a reminder, now that the stream is over, Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen — remakes of the original games for the GBA — are now available on the Switch.

The battle-focused spinoff Pokémon Champions has a launch date — or a month, at least. The Nintendo Switch version is out in April, while mobile players will have to wait until later in the year.

Sure, you can just pull up digital versions of the Junichi Masuda’s music from Pokémon Red and Blue. Or you can pick up one of the new Game Boy-inspired music players Nintendo is releasing along with 45 different cartridges that seem to play one song each.

As part of the Nintendo Classics line for NSO subscribers, Nintendo is bringing the GameCube cult classic Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to the Switch 2. There’s no release date, though it’ll be launching some time in March.

The latest Pokémon Presents showcase streams this morning, and given the fact that it also marks the franchise’s 30th anniversary, we’re expecting some good announcements. You can watch it right here.
