Hey all. It's been a while, hasn't it? I was planning to have the introduction to 2026 be something more longer-form... but then the Tomodachi Nintendo Direct was dropped on our heads, so I decided to switch gears to that, instead. What's Tomodachi got in store, then?

It's slightly bled over into the new year, but my 2025 content cycle came to a close yesterday. I need a break after the holiday bedlam, so feel free to go over the highlights of the year gone by. Here's hoping things will be more flexible for me in 2026, hey?

It's a bit late given the hubbub of the new year, but hey-ho. I hosted my annual Amiibo Tournament at the changing of the years, as is wont to do when it comes to me. 32 enter, only one wins. Who came out on top?
