Three different BoxBoy! games were created for 3DS. While some thought that the series could end with the third entry, HAL Laboratory hasn’t ruled out a return to the series.

So it’s interesting then that what could be a new tease for the game surfaced today. In a new BoxBoy! video posted on the official Japanese YouTube channel, what’s pictured above was shown at the very end. It might be a sign of things to come.

HAL’s Yasuhiro Mukae was asked about the possibility of BoxBoy! appearing on Switch earlier this year. He noted how multiplayer could work well on the console, but stopped short of actually confirming a new entry for the system. Perhaps a fourth game could be in the works for Switch?

In an interview with Polygon, YouTube’s head of gaming, Ryan Wyatt, says he believes Nintendo has better options than how they are currently conducting business in terms of dealing with content creators and monetization.

Wyatt says that YouTube and Nintendo “have constant conversations with each other to try and figure out how to benefit both the video game publisher and the creator community on YouTube.”

The Wall Street Journal is reporting on a massive agreement that is wrapping up between Nintendo and Illumination Entertainment. According to the publication, the two sides will be teaming up for an animated Super Mario Bros. movie. Illumination Entertainment has produced animated films for Universal Pictures in the past.

The Wall Street Journal says that one sticking point is how Nintendo wants to ensure it will be involved enough in the creative process. Shigeru Miyamoto has apparently been part of the talks and will likely be a producer on the movie, along with Chris Meledandri.

Currently, just one Mario movie is planned, though the agreement could allow for more. If everything goes through, Illumination’s Paris studio Mac Guff will animate the project. Since it’s in early stages of development, don’t expect to see the film for a few years.

GamesIndustry reports that Nintendo will begin to ship its products to European retailers closer to launch than in the past. By doing so, the company is looking to ensure that release dates are not broken.

Today’s news will have an impact on the smaller stores who order their stock through distribution in particular. These retailers won’t have as much time as they did before to ensure that products are delivered to customers on time. They may have to spend more on next-day delivery so that items are provided on release day.

Nintendo said in a statement that it is “consistently reviewing its shopping schedule” so that its European release dates are honored.

Super Mario Odyssey recently debuted on Switch, and TheDominoKing decided to celebrate in the only way he knows how. 148,777 dominoes were used to recreate images from the game, including Mario himself, Cappy, and more.

TheDominoKing used a screen link, meaning each clip was created separately and edited together to make it look like a single scene. Many would probably agree that what has been created here is nonetheless worth admiring and is undoubtedly a painstaking process. You can watch the full tribute below.
