The latest Nintendo Direct showcased a trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the Switch 2, highlighting Bellabel Park – a new set of multiplayer minigames only available on the Switch 2 where players can cooperate or compete. A keen-eyed fan, DynamoSuperX on X (reported by IGN), noticed a versus minigame icon around the 2:00 mark featuring Yoshi and Rosalina, strongly suggesting Rosalina will be playable in the updated game.

Isaac Lapidus, a 34-year-old from Lawrence, New York, has been arrested for allegedly operating a scheme that distributed over $2 million worth of counterfeit Nintendo products from a warehouse in Island Park since 2018.

YouTube responded to reports of low view counts by first checking its technology for problems. After a thorough investigation, they confirmed the systems are functioning as expected and there isn’t a widespread issue impacting creators.

Mega Evolutions debuted in the Pokémon X and Y games twelve years ago and rapidly became a fan-favorite battle feature. Interestingly, even though they were a key part of the games, the starting Pokémon from that region – the Kalos starters – didn’t receive Mega Evolutions.

The original Jigsaw killer, John Kramer, has been gone from the *Saw* movies for nearly twenty years, and neither he nor anyone who followed him ever dressed in a full-sized Billy the Puppet costume. However, the person wearing the Billy mask in this new clip clearly understands Kramer’s methods and signature phrases. The video only reveals this person to be operator D-Wolf at the very end. This isn’t the first time the *Saw* franchise has appeared in video games – Billy the Puppet has also been featured in *Fortnite* and *Call of Duty*.

So, I checked out the demo for Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter on the Switch eShop, and it’s actually the original version, not the updated Switch 2 Edition. That means we don’t get a sneak peek at how the upgraded version runs. The eShop page says the Switch 2 Edition will have faster loading, better graphics when docked, and can run at up to 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps. But, it doesn’t say anything about how well it performs when playing in handheld mode – at least, not in the description they’ve put up.
