My Nintendo is back with another physical reward in North America, and this time it’s for Animal Crossing. Tying in with last week’s Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of New Horizons and the 3.0.0 update, a bandana has been made available.
The bandana measures 22”x22” and is made out of polyester. It features fan-favorite characters like Tom Nook, KK Slider, and more. The design also includes the game logo and images of fruits from the series such as apples, cherries, and pears.
Yet another Nintendo game has received an update tonight, which is Donkey Kong Bananza with version 3.1.0.
This patch is fairly small in scale. Polish is now supported, and some unspecified issues have been fixed.
For the full patch notes, continue on below.
Nintendo is still coming out with updates for Mario Kart World, and version 1.5.0 has just started distribution.
Today’s update is highlighted by team races in Knockout Tour when playing in a room either online or wirelessly. Also, Polish is now supported and a few bugs have been fixed.
Nintendo’s official rundown is as follows:
Pokemon Legends: Z-A has gone live with a new update, which is version 2.0.1. This is for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch versions of the game.
A few adjustments have been made regarding item acquisition such as the ability to buy multiple Berries at once and increasing the maximum number of Mega Shards that can be carried from 999 to 9,999. Additionally, some issues have been addressed with the Mega Dimension DLC.
The full rundown is as follows:

There is a particular kind of disbelief that sets in the first time Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade loads on a Nintendo Switch 2 in handheld mode. Not because the game merely runs at this point, that expectation feels sort of outdated – but because it runs with such a fluidity that it quickly stops calling attention to itself. You might simply melt into the experience, and I think that’s exactly what they set out to do.
Today, Nintendo announced that the Aquarium Tour inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be back in the United States for 2026. This kicks off on February 13.
Not only will the tour be returning to previous locations, but there’ll be new ones getting in on the fun as well. Attendees can look forward to Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed activities and also experience the variety of aquatic life featured at each aquarium.
The following activities are planned:
Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, has teased some surprise characters for the film.
The movie is already confirmed to be bringing in some new faces such as Rosalina, who will be played by Brie Larson. Bowser Jr. will be showing up on the big screen as well. Apparently we’ll be seeing some others though that Pratt says are “really incredible.”
VGP – or VideoGamesPlus – has started to make more noise in the video game space over the past few years. While the Canadian retailer has been selling games for awhile, it’s also now become known for restocks of physical releases on Switch. Titles that were generally sold out elsewhere or are hard to come by have been returning at VGP on a regular basis.
Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
According to Metroid Prime 4: Beyond producer Kensuke Tanabe, this will be the final game he’ll make for Nintendo.
In an interview with Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, Tanabe indicated that he’s on the verge of retirement. With Metroid Prime 4, he knew it would be his last chance to make a Metroid Prime title and one featuring Sylux.
