A Platinum Points prize if you missed out last time.
Around this time last year, Nintendo revealed a swanky Tears of the Kingdom glow-in-the-dark keychain as a My Nintendo reward. It disappeared pretty swiftly, with many clamouring to splash their prized Platinum Points on the product, but now, it’s back.
Yes, the exclusive reward has been restocked on both the European and North American My Nintendo Stores. For just 600 Platinum Points in Europe and 550 in the US (plus shipping, of course), you can get your (ultra)hands on the reward that escaped so many of us last time.

And which outstayed their welcome?
We’ve all watched films that could have stood to lose 30 minutes from their runtime. That whole last act of Bad Boys II? Should’ve been left on the cutting room floor, mate. It’s the same with many a game. Alien: Isolation is fantastic, but how much better might it have been with a little tightening, to remove some flab in the middle?
Our video producer Felix-from-Nintendo-Life — yes, that’s his legal name now, for sure — has explored a good handful of the games that, for him, had the absolute perfect runtime. Not too short and, crucially, not too long, the games he looks at in the video above struck the perfect Goldilocks balance.

Cabinet envy.
Masahiro Sakurai’s latest YouTube video has us looking at our measly game collections in shame as the legendary designer has given a full rundown of his storage solutions for just about every cartridge/disk size that you can think of.
It should come as no surprise that this is a man with a beefy games collection (even if he has said that he prefers to buy digitally these days) and the latest video gives a full tour of how all of those purchases can fit into one house. The answer: with careful planning.

Coming this year (hopefully).
Ron Gilbert, the mind behind the Monkey Island series, has started sharing some information about his upcoming RPG adventure game and it is looking like a retro delight (thanks, Time Extension).
The as-yet-untitled project is “Best described as Classic Zelda meets Diablo meets Thimbleweed Park” according to the Terrible Toybox website — a trio that we had never imagined together, but a rather tasty-sounding combination all the same.

In case you somehow missed it, a second Super Mario Bros. Movie is coming to cinemas in April 2026 and it likely won’t be the only big screen outing to follow the original film’s release.
Speaking to GamesRadar+, the movie voice of Mario Chris Pratt mentioned how he could see Nintendo and its partners releasing “lots” of films based on the company’s IP over the next decade:

THIEF.
Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Kate discusses one of Mario’s criminal — and criminally underrated — pals…
Sometimes I suspect that, in another life before this one, I was a thief. In this life, I’m a relatively boring, mostly law-abiding person – albeit one who’s occasionally tempted to ‘accidentally’ put in expensive produce as something cheaper when I’m at the self-checkout, AKA God’s little test – but when a game gives me the chance to be light-fingered, I go all in.
