Today, The Pokemon Company and Aardman announced that they’re teaming up on a new project. This will be coming to audiences in 2027.

My Nintendo desktop calendar 2025

2025 is almost here, and My Nintendo is celebrating with a couple of new rewards. Along with a 2025 desktop calendar, members can spend their points on a Nintendo Switch Online one.

The desktop calendar features familiar faces such as Mario and Luigi, Princess Zelda, Donkey Kong, and more for each month. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch Online calendar has characters and artwork from retro titles such as Super Mario Bros., Star Fox, F-Zero X, and more. Both come with a stand that lets you display it on a desk.

Nintendo PlayStation SNES CD Final Fantasy 7

If there’s one prominent thing we know about the history of gaming, it’s the partnership that nearly happened between Nintendo and Sony for a SNES add-on capable of playing Super Discs, a type of CD-ROM. Despite the two sides coming extremely close to an agreement, Nintendo pulled out at the last second. Sony would then go on to form its PlayStation brand while Nintendo teamed up with Philips for a short period.

Former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden reflected on that bit of history in a recent interview. He said that Ken Kutaragi, who was an engineer and later became Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO, was left “proverbially standing at the altar” due to Nintendo’s decision.

There’s another physical reward on My Nintendo in North America, this time for Super Mario Party Jamboree. Members can get their hands on a set of party coasters.

You’ll get eight different coasters here. Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, Princess Daisy and Waluigi, Yoshi, Toad, and Kamek are on the designs. Each coaster is 4 and waterproof, so you can use them repeatedly in the future. The material is comprised of coated paperboard.

LEGO James Bond

November 29: LEGO games have explored many different properties over the years, and at one point, developer TT Games even hoped to put its own spin on the James Bond franchise.

A trailer for the pitch emerged on Reddit this week. Some confusion was going around that James Bond would have appeared as new content for LEGO Dimensions year 3, but that’s not actually the case. TT Games made the pitch in hopes of making a full game here.


Gnosia anime

Gnosia, the acclaimed visual novel social deduction RPG, is now receiving the anime treatment.

Aniplex shared the announcement earlier today. As of now the company has confirmed that the anime will air in Japan sometime in 2025 and the Gnosia development team is involved. Other than that, not much has been shared.

Mario & Luigi games ranked

For the most part, the Mario & Luigi series fell dormant after the release of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Sure, we got remakes of Superstar Saga and eventually Bowser’s Inside Story on Nintendo 3DS – but for the longest time, there were no new entries at all. Then AlphaDream closed its doors after the somewhat expected failure of the Bowser’s Inside Story remake, which seemingly sealed the deal on the fate of this franchise. To everyone’s surprise, however, Mario & Luigi: Brothership was revealed at this year’s summer Nintendo Direct, and it’s developed by Acquire, the team behind Octopath Traveler. And with this new game on the horizon, we figure it’s as good a time as any to take a look at the rest of the Mario & Luigi series and how each of them holds up today.

Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective
