PDF Peach.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. All of you romantic lot already knew that, of course, but if (and we’re being strictly hypothetical here) the big day has somehow slipped your mind, you might be on the lookout for the perfect last-minute card.

Well, look no further! As is becoming something of a yearly tradition, Nintendo is spreading the love with a range of downloadable cards this time centred around the upcoming Princess Peach: Showtime! — who knew marketing could be so romantic?

A linguistic odyssey.

Do you remember the mysterious swirly language dotted around Super Mario Sunshine‘s Isle Delfino? Probably not, and that’s okay — this is a 20-year-old game, after all. But that hasn’t stopped one YouTuber from the channel 2CPhoenix from digging in a little further. Yes, if you hadn’t guessed by now, the language has been translated.

This was no easy feet. The ‘Dolphic’ language (as dubbed by 2CPhoenix) is pretty hard to come by across Isle Delfino. It can only be found in three Sunshine levels where it is often blown up to the point of illegibility, or obscured by some other object.

What a hoot.

In the magazine business, the Back Page is where you’d find all the weird goofs that we couldn’t fit in anywhere else. Some may call it “filler”; we prefer “a whole page to make terrible jokes that are tangentially related to the content of the mag”.

We don’t have pages on the internet, but we still love terrible jokes — so welcome to our semi-regular feature, Back Page. It’s Superb Owl weekend, everyone…

“We are hoping this will be an easy transition”.

Expected in 2024 and “likely” to include a custom chip.

The rumours about a supposed successor to the Switch continue, and the latest report (which admittedly supports a lot of previous claims) comes from an “exclusive” by Reuters.

According to the news agency, Nvidia is currently “building a new business unit” specialising in “designing bespoke chips” for hardware firms – with its “source” claiming the tech giant has crafted a “custom design” for Nintendo’s next-generation handheld system.

Ganondorf, Zelda & other Nintendo characters also teased.

Last July, the Good Smile Company lifted the lid on a new Max Factory figma of Link based on his latest Switch outing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. At the time, we got an early look at him, and now in a new update at the ‘Wonderful Hobby Life For You 38’ event, the final (and absolutely stunning) design has been revealed.

Featuring “all 11 volumes of the smash-hit manga series”.

Remember The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga series that began life in February 2016 and ended its run in early 2022? It was created by Akira Himekawa (the combined name for the two artists behind this series) and will later this year be available as a complete set.

According to online listings on Amazon, VIZ Media (which was responsible for the localisation of this manga), is now offering a box set featuring “all 11 volumes” as well as a collectible, double-sided poster. The whole set combined adds up to 2,040 pages. Here’s the official description:

Go on and tell us.

Well folks, with Nintendo releasing its financial results this week, many of us thought that a Direct announcement wouldn’t be too far behind, but alas. Maybe next week.

Anyway, we got news that the Nintendo Switch has now sold over 139 million units, which is just astonishing, while Mario Kart 8 Deluxe passes the 60 million mark. Nintendo has also confirmed that the Switch will remain its ‘main business’ going into 2024, but we’re all still pretty confident that a new console is on its way…

“Give it up for day 15!”.

Owner of the Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom, Eugene Harold Krabs — better known as Mr. Krabs — is the first DLC character joining the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 roster next week, on 15th February. That’s a pretty apt day (if you know, you know).

The SpongeBob SquarePants favourite is part of the game’s first season pass, which will also be adding Rocksteady (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Zuko and Iroh (from Avatar: The Last Airbender). However, you’ll also be able to pick up each character individually.
