Remembering the cringe surrounding Super Princess Peach

A new video gives a brief new look at Super Nintendo World's upcoming Donkey Kong Country-themed expansion. The theme park first opened as a part of Universal Studios Japan, first in 2020 as a soft opening and later a grand opening in 2021. The Super Nintendo World theme park has a number of Super Mario Bros. related items and attractions, including a restaurant, rides, and even photo opportunities with characters like Princess Peach. Shortly after the park's grand opening in Japan, Nintendo announced an expansion would be coming to the park that will open later in 2024.

Back in October 2023, the announcement was released that the time for the 3DS and Wii U to die is here…and it is quite sad. On Monday, April 8, 2024 Nintendo is shutting down the online servers for both the consoles as they have aged over time, leaving the Nintendo Switch as the last console to have internet connection as of right now.

A recent Nintendo survey has asked fans how they feel about Mario's RPGs, sparking hope of new games in the future. 

Nintendo is already making plans for developing more role-playing games, as suggested by one recently surfaced survey. Specifically, Nintendo currently appears to be brainstorming ideas for new RPGs based on the Super Mario franchise.

Koji Kondo joined Nintendo in 1984 and ended up composing basically every memorable theme from the Mario or Zelda series. The legendary composer had a particularly wild idea for a stage effect in last year's Super Mario Bros Wonder, and while that idea was rejected, it did end up giving Kondo the opportunity to bring his voice to the game.

Like so many of us, it seems some of Helldivers 2 director Johan Pilestedt's most formative gaming memories are of early Nintendo games. In fact, Helldivers 2 probably wouldn't exist without Nintendo, as the Arrowhead Studios CEO has revealed the house of Mario is the reason he got into game development.

If Sonic Colors: Ultimate and the upcoming Sonic X Shadow Generations weren’t enough, Sega is allegedly working on a remake of Sonic Heroes. Nintendo Universe reported that it’s developed on Unreal Engine for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC and the rumored Nintendo Switch 2.

Though Nintendo is known for mobile consoles — Game Boy, DS, Nintendo Switch — it’s never really been known as a mobile game developer, i.e., a studio making games for your phone. But that’s not to say that Nintendo hasn’t done so. In fact, you can count the number of Nintendo mobile games on two hands. Since 2016, Nintendo has released eight games that qualify, a strategy that’s tied to the failure of the Wii U.

This past weekend was the busiest yet in what has already been a busy year for video game releases. Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and Princess Peach: Showtime all launched on the same day. Something for almost every type of game, and if Showtime is what you've been playing over the weekend, you may now want to kit yourself out in matching merch. Nintendo has a Peach Collection available now, and the message on the collection's tags is a cool tip of the hat to how far Peach has come and how her role has changed.

Nintendo has once again shared a bit on how their sauce is made, this time for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

Now Princess Peach: Showtime is out, it's time to talk about the feel-good comeback of an old-school director we've got thanks to the studio behind it.

Amazon Prime Day might be a few months away yet, but the retailer's current Spring Sale has everyone flocking to those virtual aisles. Wade against the masses, though, and you'll find some fantastic Nintendo Switch deals sitting pretty on Walmart's shelves. These prices are the lowest they've been all year - and sit at almost the same position we were expecting to see over Prime Day proper.
