Several original illustrations created for Nintendo games and products in the early 1980s are set to go up for auction, headlined by the artwork for the US flyer of Donkey Kong drawn by Leslie Cabarga. www.landrypop.com/auctions/202...

Are we just forgetting that these were a thing? (Via www.nintendoworldreport.com/feature/6454... )

Page from the book "World of Nintendo," which talks about the World of Nintendo store-within-a-store concept from the late '80s and early '90s.

Yeah, sadly I don't think you can pay in person with eShop funds. Also sad there is still no sign of the Halloween Rosalina shirt in the online store.

Yeah I wasn't sure since some of it was used for things we know have English words in the Tetris 99 Theme. Thanks for the info.

It's not listed but is there a fictional language in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book that's been figured out?

I was in queue for NYC Zelda tickets way before the time to order. Took about 45 min to get through to my turn to order and basically everything was already sold out unless you can afford $250 tickets in bad places. And those even sold out near immediately. Rip, guess I'm not seeing it.

I did all the Kong Research and figured out the truth months ago. For the record, Diddy is Modern Donkey Kong's nephew and best friend. How does this all work? Read www.dkfamilytree.com and buckle up.

Nintendo Customer Service used to be one of the best I've ever dealt with. Now, likely since outsourcing it, it's become another long drawn out struggle and the people trying to help me are seemingly clueless. It's a damn shame.

Probably way too early to even really discuss this, but what I want out of a Switch 2 OLED is like maybe 10 Micro SD Card Slots.

I'm guessing the left one is the original that was sent out in early press kits while the right was the final retail design.

Honestly didn't even know it was a choice until today.

The only solution I found was to change the navigation bar to a gesture type instead of buttons in order to tap the box. No idea how the gesture stuff works but I was able to make my way back after getting my new card.

Justin D. Berube @jusdberube.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Nintendo may have unintentionally ruined some people's Nintendo Today Zelda card collecting streak. The aplogly note given today for a previous wrong answer on a trivia card requires users to click an Okay box. But it's stuck under the Android Navigation Bar and can't be clicked.

Yeah I'm worried about the next Xenoblade. Also, even as a kid I hated games that threw you in a school. I hated being at school, so why would I want a game simulating that? It also usually just turns into a bunch of boring dialog and less actual game.

I think at this point my ideal Fire Emblem game would be the characters never talking except for at the beginning, middle, and end of the game. Bosses can have witty short banter. And nothing related to school in any game ever again even outside of Fire Emblem.

At the end of Famitsu's strategy review of Zelda: A Link to the Past, they presented a history of the series up to that point. A summary of Zelda 2's story, ALttP taking place before the NES games, and a timeline for the 3 games. Famitsu 155 - 12/6/1991 archive.org/details/fami...

The more I learned about the career of Takumi Kawagoe the more interesting it got. I also highly suspect he's currently working on the Zelda movie which is potentially very exciting given his previous contributions to Zelda storytelling. youtu.be/8zmdcS7gRfQ

Kyodo Co., Ltd. Ocarina of Time Mini Real Figures While cleaning my collection room I found the rest of these little dudes to finally put out on display. These are estimated to have released in 1998 as gachapon figures for the launch of #OcarinaOfTime on the #N64.
