Nintendo: wrote:"We will be holding a Nintendo Direct this June regarding the Nintendo Switch software lineup for the latter half of 2024, but please be aware that there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during that presentation.”

News: Nintendo Set To Announce Their Next-Gen Hardware During This Fiscal Year!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next-Gen Ahoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo just announced today, that their next generation hardware will be officially announced and revealed later in the current fiscal year! Here's the announcement:
Shuntaro Furukawa: wrote:“This is Furukawa, President of Nintendo. We will make an announcement about the successor to Nintendo Switch within this fiscal year. It will have been over nine years since we announced the existence of Nintendo Switch back in March 2015.”
It is worth bearing in mind that the current fiscal year ends on March 31st 2025 so it isn't guaranteed that the Switch's predecessor will even be announced in 2024 let alone release this year. It appears fairly likely that the next generation hardware will be releasing in the second half of 2025!

News: Charles Martinet Retiring As The Voice of Mario After Nearly Three Decades of Voicing The Iconic Character.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ya-Woohoo-Oh-No!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo has announced today that Charles Martinet, the voice behind Nintendo's iconic mascot Mario...as well as Luigi, Wario, and several other characters in the Mario universe, will be retiring from his role effective immediately. He will continue under the employment of Nintendo as the official ambassador of Mario, but his voice acting role is indeed over. It also appears that Charles Martinet did not voice Mario in the upcoming Super Mario Wonder.
You can read the announcement below:
Nitendo wrote:Charles Martinet has been the original voice of Mario in Nintendo games for a long time, as far back as Super Mario 64. Charles is now moving into the brand new role of Mario Ambassador. With this transition, he will be stepping back from recording character voices for our games, but he’ll continue to travel the world sharing the joy of Mario and interacting with you all!
In has been an honor working with Charles to help bring Mario to life for so many years and we want to thank and celebrate him. Please keep an eye out for a special video message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Charles himself, which we will post at a future date.
What do you think about Martinet-San's sudden retirement from his role as Mario? Be sure to leave a hearty farewell to the voice of Mario and wish him well on his future ventures in our comments section below!

Quick Attacking Onto NSO!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo has dropped Pokemon Trading Card Game for the GBC and Pokemon Stadium 2 for the N64 on the Nintendo Switch Online service immediately after announcing their immanent release during this morning's Pokemon Presents broadcast! This marks the final GBC game that we knew would be releasing when Nintendo released the console on the NSO service so we can likely expect Nintendo to announce the next batch in the next Nintendo Direct, meaning a September Direct seems more plausible now, especially with Golden Sun being the last GBA game we know is coming for sure!
That said what do you think of the latest additions to the NSO library of games, what do you hope releases next on the service, and lastly are you hoping that the mainline GB/GBC/GBA Pokemon titles eventually see a release on the Nintendo Switch Online service?

We have officially released an update to our website that allows users to save drafts of newly created topics before posting the new thread, which wasn't able to be done in our long-time beta of the draft function! You can save a fair number of drafts as well!
We have also added advertisements for games that are releasing on Switch/PS4/PS5 that we think you'd be interested in as well as for games publishers and developers would like us to promote!
We've also added our total number of forum posts and comments to our footer "previously only forum posts were counted", we also fixed our total registered users, and show the number of registered users that have logged in since the first day of the current month in the footer. Also several footer widgets have been added with various information!
And lastly we added more widgets elsewhere on our site, including the Latest Topics widget that now can be used outside of the portal. We also removed our Paper Li widget since the website was discontinued earlier this year. The only other thing of note are the new advertisements near the footer on our forum's main page.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Blades That Bind Us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo has announced that Fire Emblem also known as Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade in Japan will be releasing on June 22nd which is Thursday, but given how NSO releases happen at the same time globally chances are the game will drop in North America at 6:00 PM PDT / 9:00 PM EDT on Wednesday! Here is the official description of the game from Nintendo's PR announcement!
Official Description: wrote:Featuring all the fierce tactical combat and rich, intrigue-filled storytelling the series is known for, Fire Emblem was the first installment in the series to launch outside of Japan. Plus, it also marked the debut of the hero Lyn, who you may know as the Emblem of Blazing from Fire Emblem Engage!
In Fire Emblem, the nation of Lycia stands on the precipice of war after centuries of peace. Turmoil grows as noble houses plot treason, allies become enemies and armies stand poised for combat … all while a mysterious figure manipulates empires from the shadows. Now Lyn, along with Eliwood and Hector, must amass their own army to fight back against the forces that would destroy everything they hold dear – and before the world is burned to ash.
Over the course of the story, you’ll gather heroes to your side, train them to excel with a wide array of weapons and classes, and further hone their skills on the battlefield. In battle, strategize your course of action around a variety of terrain and conditions. Then take command of the field and lead your units to victory by fulfilling specific objectives. But be warned: In this Fire Emblem game, if your soldiers meet their end, they’re gone forever.
You can view the official trailer below:
As a bonus for Japanese players, Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade is also releasing in Japan only this week. You can, however play the game with a North American or European NSO + Expansion Pack subscription if you have a Japanese Switch account, but obviously the game will be in Japanese and is text-heavy so some understanding of the Japanese language might be necessary to enjoy a game like this. We've also included the official Japanese trailer below:
What do you think of this upcoming update to the NSO + Expansion Pack service? Are you going to also play Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade on the Japanese GBA app? As always be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

News: Nintendo Has Officially Shutdown The Wii U & 3DS eShops.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bon Voyage!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's official! As of 45 minutes ago "at the time this article was written" The eShops on the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS were shutdown permanently. You'll still be able to access and redownload your previous digital purchases, however making new purchases including free apps and demos are no longer possible on the last-gen consoles. This includes the asset files for Xenoblade Chronicles X that reduced pop-in and loading times for physical copies of the game which are notoriously bad without said files.
What do you think of the closures and did you make any last-minute purchases today ahead of the shutdown? As always be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

Countdown: The 3DS And Wii U eShops Are Set To Shutdown 10 Days From Today...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Ship Will Capsize In Ten Days!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In case you all forgot the Nintendo eShops on both the 3DS and Wii U will be shutting down in less than 10 days. Obviously you can't add funds via redemption cards anymore, but your funds added to your Nintendo Switch can still be used on the 3DS and Wii U eShops to make purchases through March 27th of 2023. Also keep in mind that free DLC will also be unavailable after March 27th including the assets packs for Xenoblade Chronicles X that make the physical version of the game run smoothly and drastically reduces loading times for the game so be sure to snatch those up before the deadline if you ever plan to get the game physically!
What do you think of the imminent shutdown of the services on 3DS & Wii U? What last minute purchases do you plan to get before the shutdown? As always be sure to let us know in our comments section!

News: Surprise! 4 New Gameboy/NES/SNES Games Have Been Shadow Dropped On The Nintendo Switch Online Service Today!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We Must Be In Dreamland!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo has just shadow dropped four new games on NSO out of nowhere and some of the games are quite good! The four games added were as follows:
NES
- Xevious.
SNES
- Side Pocket.
Gameboy/Gameboy Color
- Kirby's Dream Land 2.
- BurgerTime Deluxe.
The variety of games is pretty good for sure, and a"side" from perhaps the extremely niche Side Pocket are games that most players might at least put some time into. In any case, what do you think of the latest Nintendo Switch Online update? Also what games are you hoping will be added next?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Celebrating Mar10!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nintendo has just announced the release date of Wave 4 of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe BCP and it's likely MUCH sooner than you'd expect! The DLC will be officially releasing on Mar10 Day in Japan, which is March 9th in the West, well unless you live down under or are a Kiwi, but we digress. The official tracks are as follows:
- Singapore Speedway (Tour).
- Bangkok Rush (Tour).
- Amsterdam Drift (Tour).
- Yoshi's Island (Nitro).
- DK Summit (Wii).
- Riverside Park (GBA).
- Mario Circuit (DS).
- Waluigi Stadium (GCN).
That's it folks! The only thing to note is that if the previous track list leak is to be believed then Mario Circuit is the final DS track coming in the BCP which as fun as it looks, is a bit of a disappointing note to end on since Shroom Ridge and Waluigi Pinball already released in earlier waves and are arguably MUCH better DS tracks, but other than this the next wave is looking it'll be a fun one to ride!
Anyways what do you you think of the courses in Wave 4 of the BCP? Be sure to let us know in our comments section below!

Bandai Namco has given some new details regarding the remasters of Baten Kaitos I & II, including 30 FPS frame-rate, 2K resolution, no cut content for the Western release this time, and 30 save slots for each of the two games. That's not all, however...as they also confirmed that the English voice acting has been omitted from the collection as Japanese is the only language listed for the spoken dialog.

Nintendo Announced a Remaster collection of both Baten Kaitos games releasing on Switch this Summer. Even though the series never had the same following or success as Xenoblade Chronicles has, it was wonderful for what it brought to the table, especially its card-based battle system, similar to that of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories which released on the Gameboy Advance.

We could never have enough of fast-paced beat’em up action, but this is a special one: Jitsu Squad, developed by Tanuki Creative Studio, is a classic beat ‘em up inspired, four player co-op TAG TEAM with epic character transformations and fast paced, down and dirty combat.
Paired with an awesome hand-drawn cartoon look and 2D animations, the game stays true to the age-old retro arcade gaming rule: easy to learn, hard to master. Be the first one to control the entire Jitsu Squad in single-player mode, play with up to four people in local couch co-op, or use the Tag Team Mode to save the galaxy from Origami’s evil plans! But be aware, there will be tons of unique enemies to slay and eight different planets to save.
Also take a look into Gamesrocket’s Collector's Edition and grab a Japanese-style hand fan as well, the situation will be hot!
Get ready to channel your inner animal, Jitsu Squad is coming to the Nintendo Switch on the 9th December!

About the Game
Speed through stunning, futuristic environments in a stylish spacecraft, tracing ribbons of light that visualize the EDM songs while evading obstacles, eliminating approaching enemies and overcoming epic boss battles. The game controls like a twin-stick shooter with the left stick controlling the ship, which has to grind along the musical ribbon and the right stick for targeting enemies. If you play well, your score multiplier will build up and you can chase that high score on the leaderboard, for an extra dose of adrenaline.
Dazzling action!

Pilot your spacecraft through dynamic environments, negotiating obstacles and battling enemies and monstrous boss creatures, all synced to a banging soundtrack.

This Indie gem has you headbang on a highway from hell!
- Limited boxed versions available for pre-order -
Stuttgart, Germany - December 10th, 2021 - Strictly Limited Games, in partnership with Chorus Worldwide Games & Toge Productions, are proud to announce that Tahoe Games’ indie-gem “Rising Hell” will receive an exclusive, limited physical release. This 2D action rogue-lite with stylish pixel-look offers tons of adrenaline-pumping action, underlined by bone-shredding heavy-metal riffs, as you fight your way through the ghoulish gatekeepers of hell.
Rising Hell will be available for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, as a boxed Limited Edition and Special Limited Edition, with pre-orders kicking off on Sunday, December 12th, at 12 AM CET (midnight), only at Strictly Limited Games.
About the game:
Rising Hell puts you in the shackles of Arok, a sinner wielding a mysterious bestial arm with the power to kill demons. Fight your way through hordes of blood-lusting abominations, as you ascend vertically through the randomly-generated and ever-changing depths of hell, to reach freedom and resurrect your dark master Lucifer on the surface.
Head-banging heavy metal riffs and gorgeously grotesque pixel graphics will accompany you on your climb, facing the bug-ridden Beelzebub’s Lair, and other pits of hell with different creatures, bosses, and living traps lurking at every turn. To stand a chance, you need to chain together combos, complete jumping manoeuvres and collect red orbs from slain foes, to spend on mighty buffs and talents.
Whether you're a veteran with a knack for retro games or this is your first rogue-lite rodeo, Rising Hell will give you the kick you need! With the threat of permadeath pumping adrenaline through your veins, one thing’s for sure – you’re in for a hell of a time as you head-bang your way up on this highway from hell!
Features:
Slay in style while head-banging to heavy-metal riffs
Vertical hell-ride: Climb out of ever-changing, procedurally-generated hell by chaining together jump-attacks and satisfying combos
In true rogue-lite fashion, the threat of permadeath is ever present, but if you meet your demise, you come back stronger, as buffs continue to level up
Unlock and play additional cursed characters to explore a variety of playstyles, including the powerful Sydna or the agile rogue fiend Zelos
Fight epic boss battles, slaying ancient demons such as Dagon, Beelzebub and more
