If you put the knife in and get too little peanut butter, you go back in and get more. If you get too much on the first scoop out, you never put the excess back. Never.
And I'm over here needing to get back to Pokopia.
A passage from Nadia Oxford's From Pixels to Prose:
"I might not be able to prove Roger Rabbit polluted my console's innards with his filth, but I know the truth. God is with me."

For Mario Day I've released an insane Feature on @nintendonwr.bsky.social!
Feature: The Donkey Kong Family Tree Explained!
Lots of research went into this and Mario plays an important role in figuring out the ages of the Kongs.
Please share, enjoy, and try not to go bananas while reading.
I've always been interested in the Playdate but never took the plunge. Here's my first @nintendonwr.bsky.social review for a Playdate title that's made the jump to consoles: Ratcheteer DX

If the Winter Olympics have put you in the mood to play Zelda but with a hockey stick, boy oh boy do we have a game for you. @jrudek.bsky.social checks out Under the Island on Nintendo Switch: youtu.be/-D7eT5gfbNo
My first @nintendonwr.bsky.social video review of the year, a joint effort with the amazing @whilhorst.bsky.social, is for Dragin Quest VII Reimagined, an approachable remake for newcomers that loses some of the 3DS version's heart in the process:

It only took 28 days, but here's my first @nintendonwr.bsky.social review of 2026: Dispatch
A wonderful narrative game with great writing and voicework that fans of TellTale and mature superhero stories should definitely check out:

Octopath Traveler 0's reimagining of Octopath Traveler: Champions of the Continent might just be some of the best octopath traveling the series has yet offered!

Anyone want to convince to either pick up Dispatch or not? I'm pretty close to a purchase but would welcome more opinions on it. Not like I need any more games to play, but what I've seen has me very interested.
Lost Odyssey for the story, less for the combat.
The two Like A Dragon games, both excellent
Undertale (!)
Sea of Stars
I'll take some of the responsibility for suggesting it...
Almost certainly another top five game of 2025 for me. The hits keep on coming this fall!
Cast your mind back to 2011, you're sitting on the toilet, you're on your fancy new smartphone, zombies are attacking your garden. www.nintendoworldreport.com/review/71477...
Yet another amazing video game releasing this fall. If you're into roguelites or beat-em'-ups, don't let Absolum pass you by!
Did you know I’ve got a starter pack of awesome people who make awesome video game books and magazines?
I might be grabbing Z-A on both S1 and S2 with my kids wanting to play as well. Thankful it's on the voucher list.
Outlaws is also on my short list of what to play next. I'm happy to hear Grand Bazaar was good enough to hold your attention that long. @culafi.bsky.social was also digging it, if I recall.
Found this on Reddit. Whatcha playin' this month??
For me, it's DQ1+2, Mina, Pokemon, Ball x Pit, PvZ, and maybe Yooka.
Exhausted from the endless news cycle?

The cabinet that is Nintendo of America will be shuffled on New Year's Day, including a first in more than 135 years of Nintendo.
Ah, it's too bad to hear about another closure. I do hope we'll get another Mana game down the line at some point.
Played two hours of Visions of Mana last night, having wanted to play around launch but not having time to do so.
I found the opening of the game incredibly slow, with constant dialogue interjections really hurting the pacing. If it gets better, I may keep going, but otherwise I'm probably done.
