Still got mine somewhere! Was great to get some coffee I could save for later.

At first they told me I would get a full refund and not have to send it back. I never got the refund so I called back. Now I have to send it back. Lol. Power the Players! How many people don't realize they got scammed?

Bought a "New" Switch game from GameStop online. It came and there was no shrinkwrap, had a New Sticker slapped on the case, and had one of those clear circular stickers holding the package shut. So GameStop sold be a used game as new. They still suck. Be careful!

Yes. The stages are still the same but the perks and free skills you get have a random element so there is some strategy in crafting a good synergistic build each run.

It was just a thought. Thanks for checking.

Does changing the mouse sensitivity in the Switch 2 hardware settings to other options impact it within NSO in any way?

Seriously, Emerald Rush is great and I wish more people were talking about it. Crazy combos can happen that lead to insane outcomes. Fun as hell.

Crazy Bananza Emerald Rush run last night. Maxed out my Banandium Chips and cashed them out in the final round with Smelting Green for a profit of nearly 3 million in Emeralds.

Donkey Kong Bananza Emerald Rush screen of the maximum number of Banandium Chips (9,999) being cashed out for 2,999,700 worth of Emeralds.

Glad it was not just me.

okay so... I'm sorry to NERD here but I think the SNES Mouse emulation is bad
When all mouse stuff just works fine on the HOME Menu and then it jitters too much on Mario & Wario, it's harder to move even on High speed... honestly it bothers the heck out of me

To think a Nintendo Power contest led to this.

Justin D. Berube @jusdberube.bsky.social · 3d

Still worth it.

Stickers to decorate the Vi-O-La.

Wish they'd release the original 3 Musketeers again. Sounds interesting.

Justin D. Berube @jusdberube.bsky.social · 4d

Just imagine if Nintendo released this during the summer of 2002.

Nintendo woke up today and decided to post a short film about a baby that maybe has ties to Pikmin? We don't know. But the video is adorable.

10 years ago today McDonald's gave us all day breakfast and I'm still sad they got rid of it.

Asking the Google machine the most important Smash Bros. related question and getting a surprisingly good answer.

Welcome to the club!

Went in and was told I could only get one code. The guy then crossed out number 14 on a 5x10 numbered grid that said there's a strict limit of 50 per store. Guy also lied and said the 1 code I got would get me both Pokémon. Really poor distribution still. In the past I got as many cards as I needed.

I was recently gifted this Nintendo business card holder, which was given to Japanese graduates applying for jobs. It includes all these cool mock biz cards:

If you want anything Pokémon related these days you need to win a Royal Rumble outside a retail store at the crack of dawn.

The NST shirt is incredible.

I mean, I count both Mario types as mainline.

Nintendo NY has Super Mario 40th anniversary banners set up around the store. And if you buy the Super Mario Galaxy two-pack, you will receive a smaller version of it.

(Mine is rolled up cause I didn’t wanna open it up outside in this wind)
