[Let’s Talk] Your current thoughts on Mario Kart World
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Mario Kart World launched at an interesting time. Mario Kart 8 carried Nintendo for years in the Wii U and Nintendo Switch generations and continues to sell even to this day. With how popular the game was, there was a lot of excitement surrounding Mario Kart World. The Nintendo Switch 2 title was well-received overall, but depending on who you ask, it didn’t live up to Mario Kart 8. A bunch of different updates have come out over the past few months, many of which were intended to address some of those criticisms.
Following the various patches that have gone live since launch, how are you feeling about Mario Kart World today? Are you still playing it or have you simply moved on? Let us know in the comments below.

[Let’s Talk] The next Nintendo movie after Zelda
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments
Right now Nintendo has two movies that have been officially announced: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and a live-action film for The Legend of Zelda. Mario is just a couple of months away (give or take), but Zelda will be coming next year.
Nintendo has already indicated that it will be pursuing the movie industry even further. A couple of months ago, president Shuntaro Furukawa teased that the company is “continuing to prepare for the ongoing release of movies in the future.”
So after we see Zelda in 2027, what do you think is next? You’d have to think that we’ll get a third animated Mario movie, but it’s more interesting to think about another franchise Nintendo could tackle. Let us know what your guesses are for the future in the comments.

Move over 2025 – we’re officially in the year 2026. A new year brings new hope and excitement, and that pertains to games as well.
Looking strictly at Nintendo, we actually know quite a bit about the company’s slate for 2026. Several titles have been announced to be launching over the next few months. We should be seeing Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, Rhythm Heaven Groove, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, Fire Emblem: Fortune Weave, Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Splatoon Raiders. Technically that last one hasn’t been confirmed for 2026, but we’d be surprised if it was a 2027 game.
With everything that’s been announced – from Nintendo and other companies – what’s your most anticipated game of 2026? Let us know in the comments.
[Let’s Talk] Your favorite game of 2025
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
As we wrap up the year that was 2025, we want to take a moment for reflection and hear from you about your favorite game this year.
2025 was pretty massive for Nintendo. Fans had been waiting for a new console, and Nintendo Switch 2 finally delivered on those desires back in June. The system launched with Mario Kart World, but later we saw Donkey Kong Bananza, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Kirby Air Riders. We also can’t forget about the original Nintendo Switch – it received Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition, and Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4 were cross-gen releases. And obviously we’re not even mentioning third-party games, of which there were many.
So what was your favorite game (or games) this year? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] Metroid Prime 4: Beyond impressions
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
This was a pretty huge week in the Nintendo world as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally released following years of anticipation. Now that the game has finally arrived, we want to know how you’re feeling about the game if you’ve started it up.
Many of you likely know about the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond journey. After it was announced in 2017 with a different studio in charge, Nintendo scrapped the entire project and rebooted the game with Retro Studios – the series’ original developer – taking over. That announcement took place at the start of 2019. Years went by, but now fans can finally see how the final product turned out.
So if you’re playing Metroid Prime 4, what are your thoughts so far? Let us know in the comments below.
