Nintendo celebrated the launch of Super Mario Odyssey in a big way last week. Take a look at an official video recapping the festivities in New York below.
In celebration of Sonic Forces’ upcoming launch, My Nintendo has added in a number of new rewards in North America. You can use your points on a bunch of discounts, a couple of wallpapers, and a 3DS theme.
Below is the full roundup of today’s rewards:
Switch owners discovered a fantastic Easter egg several weeks ago. On July 11, Golf can be accessed on the system by motioning the Joy-Con in a certain way. Basically, you need to perform the “direct” motion late Nintendo president Satoru Iwata used to show in Nintendo Direct presentations.
Kotaku recently asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime about the Easter egg. Oddly though, he was fairly quiet about it and wouldn’t really comment on the tribute specifically.
Here’s what Reggie said:
Critical.gg has combed through the APK file for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp in hopes of finding any hidden secrets. Ultimately, the site did come across a few interesting discoveries pertaining to a potential future garden, plus other aspects like facilities, weather, and possible special costumes.
Here’s a summary as to what was found:
Super Beat Sports is out tomorrow on Switch in North America and Europe. But in Japan, it’s already available. It’s also gotten a demo.
The Super Beat Sports demo lets you try out a variety of the included games – and English is also supported. In case you’re curious, the download is 859MB.

Super Mario Galaxy is celebrating a milestone anniversary today. The game originally debuted on Wii ten years ago in Japan – November 1, 2007 – with the overseas release taking place a couple of weeks later.
I personally have fond memories of Super Mario Galaxy. It was one of the earliest games we covered on the site, and it’s right up there for me as one of my favorite games of all time. I remember going into it without being overly interested, only to end up being completely blown away.
Do you remember what it was like playing Super Mario Galaxy all of those years ago? Let us know!
To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Owlboy, D-Pad prepared a special video presentation with announcements. Among what was shared, we can now say that the game is coming to Switch on February 13.
A physical version of Owlboy was announced earlier today, with further details coming later. It’s unclear if this will be extended to Switch, but it would seem likely.
You can watch the full “D-Pad Bonanza” video below.
Another Virtual Console game will be joining the Wii U Virtual Console this week. As listed on Nintendo’s website, Power Golf is due out tomorrow.
We have the following overview of the game:
“Power Golf sports a perfect combination of simple-yet-realistic controls and beautiful graphics. Swing away on 18 lush holes in one of three different game modes: the single player STROKE PLAY mode and the multiplayer MATCH PLAY and COMPETITION modes. Enter tournaments as one of three different characters. Wind strength and the slope of the green add extra challenges to each hole. Compete against other players in the standard NORMAL MATCH or ante up one of your clubs in the unique CLUB MATCH.”
Power Golf will set you back $5.99.
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap came to Switch earlier this year as a digital title. A physical version was announced not too long ago, though only for Asia. Nicalis has since announced a partnership with DotEmu for a retail release of the game in North America.
The physical version of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap will ship in Q1 2018. It’ll be priced at $39.99.

Overwhelming fan demand, high ticket sales and sold-out auditoriums across the US has prompted additional screenings of Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You. The film will now be shown on November 11 and 14 in addition to the original November 5 and 6 dates.
