Random: Limited Run CEO Visits Nintendo, Acknowledges “Great” Partnership

He also met up with Howard Lincoln.

Limited Run Games has published multiple high-profile titles during the Switch’s lifecycle, and while we don’t know what the future holds for the physical distributor ahead of the current generation, interestingly the company’s CEO Josh Fairhurst recently visited Nintendo’s American headquarters, located in Redmond, Washington.

Unfortunately, he hasn’t gone into any extra detail other than it was an “awesome visit” and noting how “grateful” the Limited Run team is to have such “great partners” at Nintendo of America. You can see him below, getting a photo next to the Nintendo sign which received a new lick of paint earlier this year.

But perhaps this award-winning set from this year’s BrickCon in Bellevue, Washington will convince the wizards at Lego to hire the man who created this 75,000-piece build (thanks, IGN and PC Gamer!).

Brick building enthusiast and Stardew Valley fan Steven Jensen has been working on his Pelican Valley build for nearly two years. Over on the Stardew Valley forums, Jensen has been going into painstaking detail since September 2023, where he’s talked about what sets he’s used for each section.

Soapbox: Splatoon 3’s ‘Grand Festival’ Was The Perfect Goodbye

Please wrap it up.

Soapbox features enable our individual writers and contributors to voice their opinions on hot topics and random stuff they’ve been chewing over. Today, Jim’s reliving Splatoon 3’s epic climax…

If you had asked me three years ago what my favourite Turf War stage is, the 45 minutes I had spent with Splatoon 2 might have been able to cough up “the boat one” at a push, but that’s only if I was really firing on all cylinders.

Poll: Box Art Brawl – Duel: Contra 4

A duel of dual spirits.

Hello folks, we’re back once again for another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Before we get started, let’s take a look back at how things played out last week. We checked out the GameCube classic Pokémon Colosseum, originally released in Japan in 2003 before making its way West in 2004. All three covers were admittedly pretty similar, so the scores here were relatively even. In fact, things ended in a draw between North America and Europe, both of which scored 37% of the vote.
