Small display for Pokemon FireRed / LeafGreen on Switch. It’s just cool to walk into a store and see the Game Boy Advance in 2026.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 had a comparatively low opening sales week in Japan, but I assure you it rules and is a huge step up from the second game. A lot of great games are out right now, but the demo is free so check it out JRPG fans!

Does the new Pokemon theme park live up to the hype? What should you say if you bump into Junichi Masuda? @NintenDaan answers all as we step inside PokePark Kanto! And I highlight the greatness of Pokopia! Tokyo Game Life, wherever you get podcasts: tokyogamelife.com/episode/pokepa…

You can now play Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 at Switch 2 demo stations in Japan. If I designed the demo it only be the Cosmic Mario segments.

Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 is sold out at a local Bic Camera. I haven’t checked, but I can only assume it’s sold out at every Bic Camera and is now the highest selling game in history.

The upcoming Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Bros Wonder amiibos are on display at Yodobashi Camera! They keep getting bigger, and will be life-sized by 2050.

@serkantoto Nintendo gave us that for free in 1988

In 2014, the same activist urged Nintendo to "Just think of paying 99 cents just to get Mario to jump a little higher." This ridiculous nonsense is still online: oasiscm.com/wp-content/upl… So we're in for a treat.

Toho Cinemas Roppongi Hills will have a special Mario theater to celebrate the release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! You can also get a snap bracelet and exclusive Nintendo Today content. I’m waiting for the Pikmin theater announcement… More: ndw.jp/mariogalaxymov…

Yomiuriland had Pokemon Wonder, an outdoor adventure where you search for Pokemon. Easily one of the coolest gaming things I’ve done in Japan. How does its replacement stack up? We go deep into PokePark Kanto in the latest episode: tokyogamelife.com/episode/pokepa…

Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness is now on NSO! Transferring Lugia over from XD was the easiest way to get it in the Gen III games believe it or not. Check out this cool Shadow Lugia art by James Turner at the 84 Hashi Cafe in Tokyo!

Sega SG-1000 at Parco Game Center. This was the first Sega home console and released the same day as the Famicom in Japan. NSO app when?

Rolled credits on Pokemon Pokopia! Beautiful, brilliant, jagjag… only but a few words to describe this incredible experience. A strong contender for best Switch 2 game. I’ll talk about it again on the next podcast episode for sure!

Kochi got five new Poke Lids this week, bringing their total to 18! Quagsire is the prefecture’s official ambassador Pokemon due to the beauty of Kochi’s rivers and streams.
