The Human Toriel Nendoroid

At New York Comic Con 2022 today, the latest Nendoroid news was shared, and we now know that The Human / Toriel from Undertale is getting a figure. As of now we only have the concept image above. This is the first step in the production process, and we’ll probably be seeing a prototype version in the near future followed by the finalized design and release date.

The Human / Toriel joins a few other Undertale Nendoroids. We’ve seen Sans, Papyrus, and Undyne so far.

Khary Payton penguin Super Mario Bros movie

Khary Payton is the voice of the penguin king in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the actor has confirmed.

Nintendo and Illumination shared the first trailer for the film earlier today. Towards the start of the video, we see Bowser wreck the penguin kingdom and taking the Super Star. And during that scene, we briefly get to hear the king penguin speak, and it turns out that Payton is behind the character.

Payton took to Twitter and shared the news about his role in The Super Mario Bros. Movie:

The Super Mario Bros. Movie has finally released its first trailer, and we now have comments from Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri plus Shigeru Miyamoto, the character’s creator.

Meledandri started out with the following:

Sephiroth amiibo Smash Bros Ultimate

Original (10/3): Now that the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Steve and Minecraft amiibo have gone out, the next figure in the pipeline is Sephiroth. A first look at the figure was recently posted by Twitter user zaypiie. The source is a bit unclear, but it’s thought that the photo was snapped at some sort of convention.

Sephiroth was officially confirmed for the Smash Bros. Ultimate amiibo line in October 2021. We knew the type of pose he’d have, but we had yet to see what it actually looks like in person – of course, now we have a proper photo.


According to developer Gamuzumi, Nintendo has changed its approach to content it allows on its platforms, and no longer permits uncensored breasts to be shown in games approved for systems like Switch.

The studio was hoping to bring Hot Tentacles Shooter to the eShop in the near future. But earlier this month, Gamuzumi said “Nintendo is increasing their restriction about what can be published or not on their consoles” and after sending the title for review, the team was told that it might not fit console policies.

A few months ago, Nintendo announced the planned acquisition of visual content company Dynamo Pictures, with the intent to integrate it into Nintendo under the name “Nintendo Pictures”. That acquisition has just closed today, with Nintendo revealing a new logo, opening an official Japanese website, and releasing some information on the new division.

For the most part, they’ve reiterated what was said in the original acquisition statement; the plan is to have Nintendo Pictures produce visual content based on Nintendo IP, although what kind still hasn’t been specified. The website does also state that they’ll provide motion capture recording services, which was a field Dynamo Pictures worked in, but is otherwise mostly barren.
