Today, Jakks Pacific unveiled its full slate of toys for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.
We got a first look at some of the company’s plans last month. Figures were shown for Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Peach. There were teases for some other toys as well, and we now have the full rundown.
System: Switch
Release Date: January 20, 2023
Developer: Intelligent Systems
Publisher: Nintendo
Fire Emblem Engage comes just three years after the success of Three Houses, and though this seems like a quick turnaround for a series that has been known for its richness and depth, the new game streamlines a lot of mechanics and capabilities to make it much more intuitive and approachable without having to sacrifice any of the quality the franchise has seen with each new entry. It’s certainly a different flavor, tone, and direction, so those new to the series – or even long-time fans – may feel an odd sense of having to “relearn” Fire Emblem this time around. However, it’s yet another fantastic addition to a series that seems immune to any type of mediocrity.
NPD Group has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of January 2023.
Fire Emblem Engage made its debut, and seems to have done fairly well as it comes in at #5. Remember that the game launched during the middle of the month. Elsewhere we see a number of Nintendo games still on the chart and Sonic Frontiers is sticking around as well.
The results can be found below.
Thanks to Ratalaika Games, we have a launch trailer for Go! Go! PogoGirl. The company is celebrating the arrival of its 2D platformer on Switch.

The fourth Splatfest for Splatoon 3 is now in the books and we have the final results for the Dark Chocolate vs. Milk Chocolate vs. White Chocolate event.
If you were paying attention to things at halftime, you may have seen that Team White Chocolate was in the lead with 36.20 percent. Team Dark Chocolate followed in second with 32.38 percent, with Team Milk Chocolate right behind that with 31.42 percent.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Switch eShop. These include Zelda: Breath of the Wild and more.

The promotional efforts for The Super Mario Bros. Movie continue, and we’ve now got a look at a new “Plumbing” commercial. This is more than just ad, however – it’s going the extra mile by using the theme song from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show way back in the day.
