Things are heating up.

Mario Tennis is back with the impressive looking new sports title Fever. Among the changes for the new game are specialized rackets that do things like shrink your opponents of freeze them with ice. Plus, there are 38 characters to play as. It sounds like it’ll be a hefty title when it launches on February 12th.

A whole new galaxy.

Well, not new exactly. But Nintendo announced that the classic 3D platforming games will both be making their way to the Switch (and Switch 2) with a bundled release launching on October 2nd. Perfect to get prepped for the upcoming Galaxy movie.

The Nintendo Today app has added special features unlocked by inaudible sounds.

Nintendo Today was updated to version 2.0 today with a new Kirby theme and exclusive content for the Nintendo Live 2025 event in Tokyo. But it will only be accessible at the event using an inaudible sound broadcasted at the venue the app will listen for to verify attendance.

Switch, too.

Nintendo has decided to give us all a welcome break from doomscrolling with its latest Direct livestream, which is happening very soon at 9AM ET. It’ll last around an hour, and you can watch it either via the YouTube embed below, or through Nintendo’s news app.

Finally, a way to attach Steam Deck or Switch 2 to an airplane tray table.

We’re rather fond of Mechanism accessories around here, and Siri’s latest is something I’ve never seen before: a credible, folding way to attach your handhelds to an airplane seatback without becoming a Reddit meme. Hopefully. $19, shipping today, or bundled with a Magsafe adapter for your phone for $25.

Mega Malamar is (not) your friend.

Everything about The Pokémon Company’s “My Friend Malamar” Pokémon Legends Z-A marketing blitz has felt unsettling as hell, but this new video spells it all out pretty clearly: the Dark/Psychic squid monster is using enhanced telepathy to warp people’s minds. Fun!

Fall into another Nintendo Direct.

So soon after the Kirby Air Riders Direct, Nintendo has announced yet another presentation for Friday, September 12th at 9 AM ET, which will last around an hour. I think its safe to expect more info on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond or something celebrating the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros which launched on September 13th, 1985. Feel old yet?
