You may recall that, in December, Nintendo released a new “Remastered” update for Swapnote. The whole situation was rather confusing. Not only was there any indication of what was new or changed, but it seemed random to issue an update for an application that hadn’t been touched in quite some time.

MrNbaYoh earned nearly $1,700 by reporting the exploit to Nintendo.

For as long as the world has known Mario, he’s essentially had one voice. Charles Martinet has been playing the character for around three decades.

We know that Mario has his first ever animated movie coming up, though it’s unclear if Martinet will be involved. During an interview with Stardust Blaze, he mentioned that the film “sounds like great fun, and if they invite me to play, I’ll go in and play with great joy and happiness.”

Grezzo has worked on a few different Zelda games in recent years, including the Switch remake of Link’s Awakening. The developer is now hiring for a new project that is described as “medieval” and “stylish”.

In a job listing for one programmer, it’s indicated that the game will use Unity, VisualStudio, git, redmine, and jenkins. The staffer would be involved from the ground floor with the planning team (so it’s more than just programming).
