[Let’s Talk] What do you want to see from the Mario movie trailer?
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk | 0 comments
It’s been a long time coming, but in just a couple of weeks, we’ll finally be getting a first glimpse at the Super Mario Bros. animated movie. We’ve known about the film for years, but Nintendo and Illumination have yet to share any sort of look at the film. That changes in early October though, as it’s been confirmed that the first teaser trailer will debut at New York Comic Con.
You could make the case that Nintendo has a lot riding on this film. As fans know, the company really hasn’t explored the movie space. After the 1993 live-action Mario film which was derided, Nintendo wasn’t too interested in exploring movies.
With the animated Mario movie trailer coming in very soon, what do you hope that the teaser will show? What do you personally expect from the video? Do you have any hopes and dreams for the movie overall? Let us know in the comments.

Nintendo removing some small Facebook and Twitter functionality from Nintendo Accounts, discontinuing 3DS and Wii U Image Share services
Posted on 1 year ago by Nicolas in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has announced a couple of small changes they’re making in regards to sign-in options for Nintendo Accounts. Namely, they’re removing the ability to sign in to said Nintendo accounts through a linked Facebook or Twitter account. Additionally, it will no longer be possible to earn My Nintendo points through missions that require linking a Nintendo Account to a Facebook or Twitter one.
It’s unclear what the reason for these changes is, but it ultimately shouldn’t have a huge impact, as you’ll still be able to be sign in normally using your Nintendo Account information itself. You’ll also still be able to use a linked Google or Apple account to sign in as well.
