Urine trouble now.

Even though the Switch is nearing the end of its lifespan, Nintendo is still offering up some valuable nuggets of advice for both new and current owners. After all, we want these devices to last as long as possible, right?

In a social media post, the company’s customer service branch has warned users to be mindful of where they leave their Switch consoles and accessories when in the presence of any pets. It states that pet saliva and urine can cause systems to malfunction due to excess water exposure. Duh.

Go figure.

I’ve banged the Minish Cap drum so many times by this point that my adoration for Link’s littlest adventure is old news. With today marking 20 years since this GBA gem landed in Europe, it felt too easy to sit down at my desk and gush over the tight six-dungeon structure, the brilliant puzzle design or the somehow still under-discussed soundtrack. I’ve been rambling on about these for the past two decades and a big birthday like this deserves something special.

It’s obvious what we should do, really. Let’s talk about the parts of the game that suuuuuck.

Nintendon’teventhinkaboutit.

With the Switch successor’s long-awaited reveal planned for sometime before the clock strikes midnight on 31st March 2025, the current Switch is getting another holiday season to itself.

As part of Nintendo’s six-month financial results presentation, company president Shuntaro Furukawa revealed that the upcoming console will be backwards compatible with Switch software, so anyone who’s picked up a Switch in the last seven-and-a-half years — or anybody who goes for a bundle this holiday season — can rest easy in the knowledge that they’ll still have access to their library (and their backlogs) on the new system.

Five by five.

After the demise of AlphaDream, it seemed like a new entry in the Mario & Luigi saga became nothing more than a mere pipe dream. Thankfully, however, a new collaboration between Nintendo and Acquire has resulted in Mario & Luigi: Brothership, a game that stands as not only the first brand-new entry in the franchise in nearly a decade, but also the first proper home console release.

We rather enjoyed it, too. In our 9/10 review, we said it was “easily the best Mario & Luigi RPG yet” with strong combat mechanics, impressive world-building, and clever puzzle design. Here’s the thing with opinions, though… They often differ, and Brothership in particular has proven to be somewhat divisive with a few outlets. Heck, many fans have even taken to social media to bemoan the tweaks applied to the game’s battle system.
