I went to Japan in November 2023 and I just wrote a feature about the best things to do there for Nintendo/Pokemon fans. Check it out at Uproxx:

According to Bulbapedia, this is the first-ever Charizard card released in English!

Who should take over as Mario with the news that #CharlesMartinet is done voicing him?

@Lorhin thanks! It took a little while to get done but I'm really happy with the outcome.
I made my own Pokedex book!

I designed these Pokedex cards, printed and cut them out, and put them in a perfectly sized binder. Very happy with how this little book turned out. It's fun to take off the shelf and flip through sometimes.

Should I do more photos in this style? This is an alternate version of a picture I took and posted on my Instagram a few years ago.

What's the rarest or most obscure #card that you own?
I got lucky with this #Mew: it was a throw-in with an unrelated, inexpensive Pokémon lot on a Japanese auction site. It doesn't seem there are many copies of this card out there: PSA has only 9 in their population report.

Favorite base set card?
Got PSA-graded #Bulbasaur, #Charmander, #Squirtle, and #Pikachu #cards from #eBay a few months ago for like $10 each. Cheap considering PSA grading costs $25 per card. These cards aren't really valuable, but they look nice slabbed and displayed on a shelf.

Best #game of the original three #SuperMarioBros games for #NES?
I like these zoomed in and artistically framed sorta #photos like this that visually recontextualize lines, shapes, and designs that we've seen thousands of times before.

@Arindam will have to add that one to my to-play list
@ditsch42 I still regularly fire up the SNES and GBA Mario Karts! Great pick-up-and-play fun

I know the "look forward" in this headline is a quote, but I can't help but read it as sarcastic.
"Fans can 'look forward' to more 2D ‘Sonic’ games, claims ‘Frontiers’ director" via NME: https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/fans-can-look-forward-to-more-2d-sonic-games-claims-frontiers-director-3397618
"Alright, #GameBoy and #GameBoyAdvance games are on #Nintendo #Switch Online! Now I can finally play them on a handheld system again!"
me with my Anbernic RG353P or one of the dozens of other pretty good and inexpensive handheld #emulation devices on the market:

I was digitizing some old family home videos the other day and noticed this in one of them: a Super #Mario Bros. Mushroom World #pinball machine. I had never heard of it before but apparently it's pretty sought-after and valuable now. Pretty neat!

You have one Poké Ball. Which Pokémon are you trying to catch?

Want to save money? Try buying #Nintendo #Switch #videogames from #Japan!
The Switch is region-free, so if the game you want has English/your language as an option, it should be the same experience as buying your region’s native version.
The main reason for doing this: Japanese games are often cheaper if buying direct from Japan via a site like https://buyee.jp. Just got a #Pokemon Shield + Expansion Pass cart-only for $60 (7,500 yen); the US version is ~$100 on #eBay.

I consume more YouTube than I do anything else (except probably food), so this is my most personally meaningful year-end list.
