A brand new update for the Mario mobile game.
Nintendo’s mobile game Super Mario Run will be hosting a new Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door crossover event.
It runs from now until 27th June 2024 and requires you to unlock statues of Paper Mario and other cast members in the latest Switch release, which you can then place in your kingdom. Here’s a quick look, courtesy of ‘OatmealDome’ on social media:

Super ‘master ‘maker.
With official word that a Nintendo Switch “successor” will be announced before April 2025, there’s really no debating that Switch is in the twilight of its years. We’re well into Year 8 now, and we’re being served up a series of remakes and remasters of old favourites while Nintendo’s premier teams focus on brand-new games for the brand-new system.
First-party-wise, in the last six months we’ve had Super Mario RPG, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and the Nintendo-published Another Code: Recollection — and we also got Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Advance Wars 1+2, and Metroid Prime Remastered last year. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is launching today, with Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD arriving next month. If you’re a sucker for new versions of old classics, you’ve been like a pig in mud on Switch and elsewhere over the last couple of years.

Your one-stop shop for a paper classic.
Welcome to our Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Guide hub!
This Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Guide covers the 2004 GameCube RPG and the 2024 Nintendo Switch remake. This critically acclaimed adventure, which is the sequel to the N64 Paper Mario, is easily one of the best Mario RPGs of all time. We gave the Switch remake a 9/10, calling it “the definitive way to play Thousand-Year Door”.

Player survived 28 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes after shutdown.
The last remaining player to play Pokémon X & Y via the Nintendo 3DS online servers has shared a message of thanks after surviving for 28 days, 23 hours, and 30 minutes after the official shutdown.
Known only as ‘Amanda’, the player’s message was relayed online by Joziken (one of the ‘Elite Four’ of the Nintendo Network) via X (thanks, GamesRadar). She stated “I just wanted to say thank you to all those who were rooting for me over the past month as I held on to remain online, I never thought I’d end up being the final Pokemon player on the Nintendo Network, but it happened anyway.”

Including the Mii Fighters and Pokémon Trainer.
Since the final update for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate earlier this year, Nintendo has been restocking the game’s amiibo.
With this in mind, the my Nintendo Store in the US has apparently had another big restock, and this time you can even get your hands on the Mii Fighters and Pokémon Trainer. Up until now, these were supposedly some of the “rarest” Smash Bros. amiibo.

Like what you see?
Fans of the Netflix series The Witcher were understandably up in arms when leading star Henry Cavill announced his departure only to be replaced by Liam Hemsworth.
Alas, it’s happening, but judging from the newly-released ‘first look’ teaser for the upcoming season, our confidence in Hemsworth has been given a slight boost. Granted, we don’t see his version of Geralt of Rivia do anything other than turn to the camera in a suitably brooding and manacing manner, but it’s a start.

A new (Midnight) Sun rises.
We first caught wind of Capes in the hazy days of early 2023. The turn-based superhero tactics set-up sounded like a novel idea, albeit one that we were worried might tread on the toes of one Marvel’s Midnight Suns which, remember, we were still expecting to see on Switch.
That Switch port was eventually cancelled, and we Nintendo fans were left with an ‘XCOM-meets-X-Men’ gap in our game libraries. Almost one year on, Capes is set to fly into that gap.

The wait is driving us bananas.
It feels like Donkey Kong is everywhere at the moment. With the lovable ape’s significant appearance in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, the upcoming DK-themed expansion at Japan’s Super Nintendo World, and the safe, but enjoyable Mario vs. Donkey Kong Switch remake, you could say we’re in the midst of a Kong-aissance reawa-Kong-ing revitalisat-Kong… a return for DK. But something’s missing, right?
Yes, despite Nintendo’s renewed focus on Mario’s former nemesis, we’ve still yet to see the very thing that fans have been clamouring for since the 2014 release of Tropical Freeze: a brand-new Donkey Kong game. Of course, recent details surrounding the cancelled ‘Freedom’ project at Vicarious Visions have exacerbated an already-agonising wait, but it nevertheless feels like something might well be cooking within Nintendo’s iron-clad fortress.

I choose you, and you, and you.
