Description

A Nintendo Direct so big it took us a week to cover it! Okay, maybe the timing was more of a scheduling thing, but we do have lots to say about all the Mario 40th Anniversary announcements, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the Switch 2’s upcoming first-party lineup, and Nintendo’s surprisingly big merchandise push. Plus, we revisit the year’s Marvel movies and more.
