A 28-year-old Japanese TV show that was recently uploaded to YouTube has seemingly given us our first glimpse of Super Mario 64's cut multiplayer mode, complete with a playable Luigi, but the sudden upload and debate over what we're actually seeing has me feeling like I'm looking at a Bigfoot sighting.

Earlier this year, Nintendo enjoyed impressive success with The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and as many may have expected, the company has every intention to keep investing in adaptation of its biggest properties. To that end, recently, it was announced that Nintendo was teaming up with Sony Pictures for a live action The Legend of Zelda movie, with veteran Nintendo executive Shigeru Miyamoto and Sony Pictures’ Avi Arad (Spider-Man, Venom) producing the film, and Wes Ball (Maze Runner, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes) set to direct.

Nintendo is returning to live-action films with a new movie based on The Legend of Zelda, the company announced today.

Nintendo‘s share price has jumped in value following its announcement that a Zelda movie is in the works.

The Legend of Zelda is getting a live-action adaptation. After years of rumours, Nintendo has finally confirmed that it's working on a movie set in the enchanted lands of Hyrule, co-produced by the gaming giant and Avi Arad, who's behind the recent Spider-Man spin-off films. Wes Ball — best known for the Maze Runner trilogy — is attached to direct, which isn't being received well by fans of the franchise. Of course, Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto is deeply involved in the project in a producer capacity, just like he was for The Super Mario Bros. Movie.

This morning, Nintendo confirmed that a live action Zelda movie is in production. Nintendo and Arad Productions will produce the movie; interestingly, financing will be handled by Nintendo (for more than half of the budget) and Sony Pictures Entertainment, with the latter handling global theatrical distribution.

After the success of Illumination’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie this year, Nintendo has revealed a is on the way.

Nintendo has announced that it will develop a live-action film of The Legend of Zelda.

In the years since its debut on original Nintendo Entertainment System, The Legend of Zelda franchise has become a well-loved and storied gaming franchise. Following 2017's Breath of the Wild, the series evolved even further, seeing monumental growth under the leadership of Nintendo producer Eiji Aonuma. Due to the Zelda franchise's enduring popularity and its legacy in gaming, France has recently inducted Aonuma into the prestigious Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters for his contributions to the arts. Beginning in 1957, the Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Ordre des Arts et des Lettres) is France's most prestigious community of writers, artists, and other creatives that have made significant contributions to the arts, whether in films, television, literature, and yes, video games.

Nintendo has revealed the latest batch of games joining Nintendo Switch Online, and one game stands out in particular as a surprising, but welcome, addition.

The original Super Mario Bros. on NES was made by a team of five people, and it seems every single one of them is still at Nintendo and was credited on Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

New information about Saturo Iwata’s input into the development of Pokémon Gold and Silver has been discovered.

In video game development, there is almost always an “overlord” person in the dev cycle that most other developers try to “please” with their hard work and the quality of the title itself. After all, if the company’s higher-ups are happy with a dev team and their games’ success, they’ll get asked to do more things in the future. For the Pikmin 4 team, that “overlord” was none other than Shigeru Miyamoto, who is widely credited with the creation of the franchise, even though it’s a little more complicated than that. However, despite his star power, the team wasn’t “afraid” of him or seeking his approval.

Nintendo has shared a video of Charles Martinet saying goodbye to his role as Mario, as well as revealing that he calls Shigeru Miyamoto "papa".

Many people have Super Mario Bros Wonder on their minds, given that the title just had a significant Nintendo Direct that broke down the various elements of gameplay, plot, and the new kingdom players will be in. As if on cue, the floodgates opened after that, and the team talked about everything to do with the game, including the parts of its development process. For example, the team wasn’t rushed to develop something special early on, as the producer wanted them to make something special. But a question about what Mario’s creator had to say about the game has popped up.

Among all this Starfield talk, it’s easy to forget that The Elder Scrolls 6 is even a thing (maybe). It’s been five years since we were treated to a brief tease of the next installment in Bethesda’s flagship series, and the face of the studio seems to regret being too hasty with things.

Charles Martinet, the voice actor who has portrayed Mario since 1991, is stepping down, Nintendo announced Monday morning. Besides voicing the world’s most famous plumber, the 67-year-old Martinet also portrayed Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and the baby versions of these characters in more than one hundred titles across the Mario video game franchise.

It’s been quite the journey to get to this day, but finally, after ten years, Pikmin 4 has arrived on the Nintendo Switch. We’re not kidding about the ten-year journey, either. The last entry, not including the Switch port, arrived in July of 2013 in Japan and other parts of the world. It didn’t arrive until August in the US, but that’s not the point. A couple of years later, Shigeru Miyamoto said the 4th entry would be “arriving soon,” and that didn’t happen. But at long last, it’s here, and Nintendo is celebrating in style.

The Pikmin franchise has consistently put out well-received games ever since its inception on the GameCube over two decades ago, but even though it has certainly built up a dedicated fan following in the time since then, it hasn’t ever managed to become a proper breakout hit where sales are concerned- certainly not to the level of other Nintendo franchises like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, and more.

Nintendo’s chief designer, Shigeru Miyamoto, has discussed the historical performance of the Pikmin games and why he believes the series hasn’t “exploded” commercially like some of the company’s other franchises.
