Super Mario Bros Lost Levels Minus World

It’s been about four decades since Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels launched, but one fan has now managed to uncover new Minus World levels.

That’s largely the entirety of today’s news. However, here’s a bit of additional data:


September 25: There technically hasn’t been an official announcement, but it looks like fans can expect new amiibo for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.

Capcom is at the 2025 Tokyo Game Show this week, and the company has three new figures on display. Specifically, there are three that are being shown off. This is especially interesting as we haven’t heard about any of them – until now. It does make sense as Capcom supported the series’ previous entries with amiibo.

Here’s a look at the different figures, courtesy of the following photo snapped by RodimusPrimal82:

LEGO Game Boy Amazon

We wanted to give folks a quick heads up that LEGO Game Boy is back in stock on Amazon especially given how popular it’s been so far. The item had previously sold out during the pre-order period (and had been that way for awhile now), but it looks like some extra stock was secured. Other stores had been selling out of reservations as well.

Here’s some information about the LEGO Game Boy:

You may have seen some unexpected Pokemon headlines this week after a video was posted by the Department of Homeland Security which featured the theme song from the Pokemon anime. That same clip also had some interstitial cuts of the show and mock-ups of trading cards for some of the individuals arrested.

Many who saw the video on Monday have shared various thoughts about the situation. Now, however, we get to hear from The Pokemon Company directly.

In a statement, the following was mentioned:

amiibo sale GameStop

GameStop has kicked off one of the biggest sales we’ve seen to date for amiibo. 

A bunch are now going for just $6 while others are $16. You can save on amiibo in the Smash Bros., Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Street Fighter 6 lines. Even the recent Donkey Kong Bananza figure with Pauline is included.

According to a report from IGN, Nintendo of America is outsourcing its customer support services. This is resulting in hundreds of contractors losing their jobs.

IGN’s report is based on having been in touch with multiple sources, “who spoke to us on condition of anonymity due to fear of reprisal.” The site relays how there was “a formerly rigorous structure for training and maintaining customer support services in the U.S. that was suffering significantly due to language barriers, poor communication, and Nintendo’s overall decision-making on how to handle the transition from U.S.-based support to outsourced support from South America.”


Some fans over the years have called for Nintendo to introduce a platform-wide achievements system, and while nothing has been announced, there’s some hope about future possibilities following a few patent filing.

The patent was picked up in the United States earlier this month. In the description, it mentions that users can earn points by meeting certain conditions. They can then use these points to obtain different rewards. Players could potentially receive things like icons or wallpapers.
