According to Pikmin creator Shigeru Miyamoto, he’s been wanting to grow the franchise over the past few years. 

Pikmin has been around since the GameCube days, but it hasn’t seen the same amount of popularity as some of his other creations such as Mario and Zelda. However, during the Nintendo Switch era, it’s been steadily gaining traction – especially with the launch of Pikmin 4.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the original creator of Donkey Kong, has spoken about the decision to change Donkey Kong’s design.

DK will look quite a bit different when he stars in his upcoming game Donkey Kong Bananza. There’s been a lot of talk about the design, starting with when we got our first look at the character in the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement that gave a brief glimpse of Mario Kart World. But things actually go further back than that – Donkey Kong’s design was different in The Super Mario Bros. Movie as well.

May 15: Donkey Kong is getting a brand new design for Donkey Kong Bananza on Nintendo Switch 2, and it now appears that Nintendo is updating the look for Diddy Kong as well. However, the adjustments are much more subtle.

There’s also the fact that the Nintendo logo has been removed from the character’s hat. Finally, his feet have been adjusted for whatever reason.

A new trademark for Hotel Dusk: Room 215 has been filed in Japan, and some are hoping that it could mark a return of the Nintendo DS game.

We typically don’t report on Japanese trademarks as they tend to be overblown. More often than not, they are filings done to protect IPs and are not indicative of an imminent release. However, we’re in a bit of a different situation here. Whereas most Japanese trademarks for Nintendo games are for renewals, this is an entirely new filing. Additionally, Hotel Dusk now has a trademark in the country for the first time (there was previously one for its Japanese name Wish Room).

Nintendo will be attending Gamescom 2025, the company has confirmed. That news was just posted today on social media.

Nintendo had previously been one of the bigger representatives at Gamescom, which is Europe’s largest gaming expo. However, in more recent years, the company’s attendance record has been spotty. Nintendo did appear at Gamescom 2023 which at that point was the first time in four years, but then missed last year’s show.
