Super Mario has a long way until it reaches its 100th anniversary, but the creators of the IP have now weighed in on what it’ll take to get there.

Super Mario just turned 40 last month. That means we’re not at the halfway point to 100. Still, the likes of executive fellow Shigeru Miyamoto, executive office Takashi Tezuka, composer Koji Kondo, and SRD president Toshihiko Nakago have weighed in on the future as part of a Nintendo Museum book.

Splatfests in Splatoon 3 are more of a rare occasion these days, but Splatoween 2025 just took place this weekend and we have the latest results. Nintendo was asking if zombies, skeletons, or ghosts would be the best kind of friend.

At halftime, Team Ghost had the most clout – but barely. The breakdown was 33.20 for Team Zombie, 33.22 for Team Skeleton, and 33.58 for Team Ghost. That made things extremely close.

It’s been a big year for Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, as tons of different manufacturers try to get in on the action with their own products. We’ve reviewed the Genki Attack Vector, the Savage Raven NeoGrip, the Savage Raven StandGrip, the JSAUX Split Protective Case, and the dbrand Killswitch. And after testing out all of these grips (and spending a crazy amount of money), we’ve finally found the best one. It took a while for Satisfye’s ZenGrip 2 to become available – shipping delays and such means that customers are only now receiving their item – but many have found that the wait was worth it. How does the ZenGrip 2 hold up against other options on the market?

According to the developers behind Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots, a romance system with the caddy was almost included.

This comes from a recent interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu. During the discussion, chief producer Tomokazu Fukazawa revealed that at some point, “your caddy would have confessed to you on the greens”. However, this was not implemented due to a lack of time and money.

Our full translation of the excerpt with Fukazawa and producer Takafumi Takemoto is as follows:

At this point, there aren’t many people who haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey. It first released in late 2017 as one of the Nintendo Switch’s premier first-year titles, and it was quickly met with critical acclaim. The game came during a time when fans felt the series was starting to stagnate. In 2016, you had titles like Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Super Mario Run, and Paper Mario: Color Splash – and while most weren’t bad, they all carried that same corporate Mario feeling. Even Super Mario 3D World, which is now widely regarded as a great game, was criticized at the time for its linearity and similarity to Super Mario 3D Land. Super Mario Odyssey was essentially Nintendo’s way of saying that new and fresh ideas were back on the table for the series.
