▶ MAR10 Day 2024 — A brief ~3 minute video from Nintendo with some Mario related news. Miyamoto shares that a second Mario movie is on the way, and we get dates for some upcoming games — more on this below. Nintendo of America // YouTube Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi’s Mansion 2 release dates confirmed — Curiously, the dates for both of these fall on a Thursday, not Nintendo’s usual Friday launch day. Jordan Middler // VGC Three more Mario Game Boy titles are coming to Switch Online next week — Dr. Mario, Mario Golf, and Mario Tennis are arriving on NSO in just two days. Still no Super Mario Land though . The two Game Boy Color sports titles have interesting story modes worth checking out if you haven’t played them before. Chris Scullion // VGC ICYMI The State of Switch Survey for 2024 — The initial response to the survey has been great, with over 2,000 responses so far, and coverage in Nintendo Life — if you’d like to help spread the word, pick your poison: Twitter , Mastodon , Bluesky , Threads . 💕 BTW, you can win a $20 eShop credit just for taking part . Switch Weekly Switch Emulator Yuzu is dead, 3DS emulator Citra also affected — Well, that was all over rather quickly. Kevin Wammer // overkill WTF happened to Yuzu, and what comes next? — A sound look at the likely repercussions following the recent Yuzu drama. Wes Fenlon // Read Only Memo Emulators will always outlive Nintendo — ” Nintendo’s strong-arming of the Switch emulator Yuzu shows how little the company understands its own fan base. Emulators will not die so quietly “. Ernie Smith // Tedium Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, and Chrono Trigger artist that inspired the world — RIP. The truly widespread outpouring of love for his work and creations has been lovely to see.

Philip Orona // Nintendo World Report Every game company should be celebrating its history like The Making Of Karateka — ” kinda feels like discovering a new art form. Not a new genre, bigger than that. ” Andrew King // The Gamer It’s 10 years since Gamergate – the industry must now stand up to far-right trolls Keza MacDonald // The Guardian It’s time for Mario’s weird minigames to make a comeback Jim Norman // Nintendo Life
