Nintendo hasn’t done much with the F-Zero series in well over a decade. F-Zero GX, one of the series’ last major entries, came out way back in 2003 for the GameCube.
Toshihiro Nagoshi is known for the Yakuza series these days, but fans may remember that he held an important role on F-Zero GX. Nagoshi was actually a producer on the game all of those years ago. It seems as though he still has fond memories of the project, as he’d be open to revisiting the series.

Nintendo has been battling it out with MariCar since 2017. The Big N filed an IP infringement lawsuit in 2017 against the go-kart company that let drivers dress up as Mario Kart characters. Nintendo won the case, and though MariCar attempted an appeal, it was just dismissed by Japan’s Supreme Court.
MariCar was initially ordered to pay Nintendo 10 million yen ($97,000). After an appeal, the amount was increased to 50 million yen ($483,000).

It was around this time last year that Starlight Children’s Foundation and Nintendo unveiled the Starlight Nintendo Switch Gaming Station. We now have a follow-up as these units are starting to make their way to hospitals and health care facilities across the United States.
Each station has 25 games pre-loaded, including Super Mario Party and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It’s important to note that they have been “manufactured to meet strict infection safety protocols” and can be rolled anywhere in the hospital.
