Fire Emblem Fortune’s Weave actually has the kanji reading on the eShop page. Maybe because everyone called Three Houses’ Japanese name 風花雪月 (literally Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon) by the more common phrase 花鳥風月 which literally translates to “flower, bird, wind, moon”

It’s always surreal to see physical ads for a limited digital event, in this case the upcoming Splatoon 3 Splatfest

Star Fox marketing is ramping up in Japan with a series of new commercials. The Japanese VA does seem pretty great 🤔

Carnival game idea: pay 100 yen to guess the Famicom title by the spine, and you get the game if you’re correct

Nintendo’s biggest holiday game for 2026? It’s like Nintendo Switch Sports Resort. The Switch game sold 18 million since launch and still moves millions each year. Resort won’t have a huge opening, but it’ll have long legs.

Absolutely awesome Direct. A little bummed we didn’t see more of Duskbloods or Ocarina of Time, but Nintendo is giving me a ton of stuff that’s totally up my alley.
