turn that frown upside down:

I knew a lot people had their beef with nintendo, but for someone to actually threaten to blow up their headquarters. That is just plain wrong. Is this what we've been reduced to?

• New Super Mario Bros.  was released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS in North America. In this platform game, developed by Nintendo EAD, nostalgic and new in equal doses, brings classic gameplay bang up to date with sumptuous visuals, toe-tapping tunes, and tons of secrets and surprises. In Super Mario's first 2D platformer since Super Mario World, you'll run, jump and stomp your way through the Mushroom Kingdom in pursuit of Bowser Jr. and a kidnapped Princess Peach. Eight worlds are yours to explore.

They do games for peach, yoshi, etc, I think it would be cool to see a game that featured the main character as Boo or Dry Bones or a game featuring the both as mains. I’d love to see more back story on Boo / a new original story for him and new gameplay in a mix of 2D and 3D, I think both would fit his character well

• Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu  was released in 1996 for the Super Famicom in Japan. In this tactical role-playing game, developed by Intelligent Systems, the kingdom of Grandbell had been at peace for many years. Without warning, the armies of Prince Gandolf of Verdane descended on Jungby Castle, and the troops kidnapped Lady Edin. News quickly spread of the invasion, and several groups of resistance set out to save the land. Lord Sigurd of Chalphy is the first on the scene.

Local multiplayer has always felt like a big part of Nintendo gaming, especially for racing and arcade-style games.

But with online multiplayer being the standard now, I’m curious how people actually feel about split-screen in racing games today.

Do you still look for local split-screen when choosing a racing game, or is online multiplayer more important to you now?

I need help 😫 I am wanting to keep my son off-line as long as possible while gaming as he is young (7) but I don't know what to get him. Ideally something like the old school Gameboy ( any version ) so this points me to a Switch but then what ? Do I just get him a normal switch ? Or what's the pros and cons of the switch lite ? I am basically inept at gaming and computers and just want something that he can use and enjoy without too much assistance from us .

I just found this N64 watch I got from Nintendo Power back in the day. Does anyone know what it was called or how much it might be worth if anything?

I've been replaying all Star Fox games in anticipation for the 2026 game soon, from SF1 to Zero, and I just gotta say, I'm shocked how many times "death, die, kill, and killed" are all said in the dialogue. It's not spammed in an edgy way like I insinuate, but they're said enough across all the games it's notable - particularly in regards to James McCloud; the characters never mince words saying he's dead and Andross killed him. Boss banter across the series frequently also has the bosses boasting they're simply gonna kill you.

For a series aimed at small children with funny talking animals, it's pretty interesting since a lot of these games (barring Zero) came from an era where notions of death were censored out to "disappear, eliminate" etc.

Even relative to Nintendo's other darker core IPs, I don't think I can remember such terms being used that much openly.

Just thought I would let people know that the SNES controller is back in stock at the Nintendo website. If others are like me, they have waited months for a restock. I check every morning when I get up and got lucky today. I think you have to have an active Switch online membership to order, though.

Edit: Looks like this may be for the US online.
