Andy Gavin, the co-creator of Crash Bandicoot, recently shared his opinion on the remake – which is largely positive, but believes jumping is “botched”.

Crash Bandicoot was remade several years ago as part of the N. Sane Trilogy. Gavin seems to be in the camp that largely praised the release, though he has now spoken at length about why he feels the jumping mechanic is off.

Zelda movie cast Link Zelda

Just a short while ago, Nintendo unveiled the first cast members for its new movie for The Legend of Zelda.

Shigeru Miyamoto, creator of the franchise, took to social media to announce the news. We now know that Bo Bragason will be playing Zelda. Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is taking on the role of Link. Miyamoto said that he’s “very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen.”

My Nintendo Donkey Kong Bananza rally towel

Just in time for the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza comes a new My Nintendo reward. As of now it’s only available in North America

Starting today, memebers can get their hands on a rally towel, which measures 8 x 12 inches. The design features Donkey Kong blasting forward in a minecart. As noted by Nintendo, “it’s the perfect size for cheering on the big guy and Pauline during their adventure.”

Donkey Kong could be getting his own movie, based on a new filing.

Nintendo and Universal Pictures jointly filed a copyright for an untitled project based on the franchise. The listing doesn’t include any details, but it’s classified as a motion picture. That doesn’t really leave much room to speculate other than a new Donkey Kong movie.

Nintendo’s 85th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders took place last week, and is tradition, shareholders voted on the election of its directors. There aren’t any huge surprises as everyone was reelected, including president Shuntaro Furukawa and Shigeru Miyamoto.

The only new person here is Kazuhiko Hachiya. Nintendo believes he can “provide valuable advice” given his “broad experience and insight in the field of art, and as a software developer and business executive”. Nintendo says Hachiya “has a wide range of achievements, including the creation of various works of media art utilizing digital technology and the development of an email client, and has served in key positions at Tokyo University of the Arts.”

Mega Man has been missing in action for many years now, but Capcom apparently hasn’t forgotten about the franchise.

The company was recently asked about plans for the series during an investor Q&A. In response, the following was shared: “The Mega Man series is one of our most important IPs, and we are continuously considering ways to develop it further. However, we do not have any additional information we can share at this time.”


When we see a new Sonic racing game come around, some fans ask the question as to why the Blue Blur uses a car to race. After all, he’s extremely quick on his own, right? Well, Team Sonic head Takashi Tezuka has now offered his input directly.

Tezuka said that this comes to the idea of Sonic wanting to have fun. If he were to race on his own, it just wouldn’t be much of a competition. 

Nintendo is facing criticism in Brazil over its End User License Agreement (EULA), particularly regarding the possibility of permanently banning Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. The controversy stems from the clause that allows Nintendo to disable a system if pirated software is detected, a practice now being challenged by Brazil’s consumer protection agency, Procon-SP.
