After fans came across a potential Twitter account for Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, they’ve again been poking around the social media website to find other possible hidden user names from Nintendo. That sleuthing may now have resulted in a discovery tied to F-Zero.

The account in question is @FZeroJP. Just like the Super Mario account, it has the same “aaaaaaa” handle. By attempting to reset the account password, we can see that an email would be sent to n*******.**.**, which could very well be nintendo.co.jp – Nintendo’s Japanese website. We also know that the account was registered on March 16, so it’s not someone simply trying to piggyback off of the Super Mario findings from earlier this week.

Here’s a look:

Update 2: Jenga: Super Mario is now up on Amazon here.

Update: The new Monopoly release, officially titled Monopoly Super Mario Celebration Edition, is now available on Amazon.

There hasn’t been any concrete news yet as to how Nintendo itself is celebrating Super Mario’s 35th anniversary, but we have a couple of announcements from Hasbro. The company is preparing new versions of Monopoly and Jenga to celebrate the big milestone.

For Monopoly, the board game will have players buying, selling, and trading locations from Super Mario games between 1985 and present day. Toad houses and Princess Peach’s castles will be replacing houses and hotels. Additionally, it’ll come with an electronic component of the Question Block featuring sound effects “that can change a player’s luck”.

McCree’s noose spray has been patched out of Overwatch. Blizzard delivered the update this week, which replaces the noose with a horseshoe that has the text “Bad Luck” on it.

Blizzard hasn’t actually made an announcement about the change, nor has it issued any sort of statement. However, as Polygon points out, some players overlayed McCree’s noose on other sprays such as portraits of other Overwatch heroes. Given recent times and how the image of a noose could be linked to lynchings of Black people in America, Blizzard may have felt the change was necessary.
