Nintendo just released a new Mario Sports Superstars trailer highlighting soccer (or football for our European friends). We have the video below.
Hideo Kojima, known for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series, was in attendance at RTX Sydney yesterday and was able to try out 1-2-Switch with Kinda Funny Games. See all of the shenanigans that took place in the video below.
Are you in the UK? Are you looking to give Switch a try before it launches next month? Well, you might be in luck, since Nintendo UK announced exclusive hands-on sessions in three major cities.
Those who attend can experience Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, 1-2-Switch, and Snipperclips. Nintendo is planning four two-hour sessions on each day, though spaces are limited.
The schedule is as follows:
Jack Merluzzi is doing a little bit of voice work in the Switch game FAST RMX. That’s according to developer Shin’en, who shared the news on Twitter.
Merluzzi was the announcer in FAST Racing Neo on Wii U. Shin’en’s tweet suggests that Merluzzi has performed some new recordings for FAST RMX.
We are happy 2 announce that voice actor Jack Merluzzi will lend his voice to #FastRmx. You may heard him in games like FZERO,Tekken,Rockman

GameXplain posted a new video today that gives us another look at the Switch development hardware and shows how the portable device stacks up to the Wii U GamePad. View it below.
As another way of promoting Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Nintendo UK sent series producer Eiji Aonuma “on a quest” to gain the Master Sword of Master Sword of Resurrection. Aonuma played around with battling a Guardian (in amiibo form), gathering food, and more before finally approaching the sword. Of course, this was all done in good fun.
We’ve shared the two brief clips from Nintendo UK below. Check out the full feature here.
Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World launched in North America and Europe today. With that in mind, Nintendo updated the original Wii U game to support the Poochy amiibo.
Those who own Yoshi’s Woolly World will find version 1.1.0 ready and waiting. Once installed, players “can tap their Yarn Poochy amiibo to the Wii U GamePad while in a course to make Poochy appear in game.”
Yesterday, Gradius hit the Wii U Virtual Console along with Bomberman ’94. We now have some footage of the classic release below.
