Toby, a game developer known online as Game of Tobi, has managed to port the Nintendo 64 classic The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to the Apple Watch. This legendary game is known for its massive world and devilishly difficult puzzles, all of which make it onto the tiny wearable in a version that pushes the device’s capabilities far beyond what most people would have thought.
LEGO has just unveiled the Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 set (72050), a large 2,234-piece build clearly aimed at adult fans, and the pricing of $179.99 doesn’t seem too bad at all. This thing will hit shelves on April 1st, 2026, though pre-orders opened on March 10, perfect timing for Mario Day. With this new set, the Mach 8 (Luigi’s hallmark ride in Mario Kart 8) receives its first large-scale LEGO makeover.
Back in the early 1990s, Nintendo and Sony collaborated to create something big: the Nintendo PlayStation. Sony basically agreed to furnish the CD-ROM technology that would be installed in the Super Nintendo. That meant developers could load games from discs, which opened up a whole new universe of possibilities that cartridges simply couldn’t compete with, and that was a major deal.
Pokémon turns 30 this year, and the Pokémon Company wants to give its followers a little something to celebrate. They created the Game Boy Jukebox, which is a modest tribute to the original Game Boy. It’s a device that pulls music directly from Pokémon Red and Blue. We’re talking 45 tiny mini cartridges buried in the box, each with a single track or sound effect from the original 1996 games.
Pokémon fans were greeted with a pleasant surprise on Pokémon Day. The Pokémon Company surprised us with the announcement of Pokémon Winds and Pokémon Waves during a special presentation commemorating their 30th anniversary. These titles, a joint endeavor between the Pokémon Company and Game Freak, will be landing exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in 2027.
Nintendo has resurrected a 1995 oddity and incorporated it into the Switch family, literally, as the original Virtual Boy sat on a table like a curiosity, a set of goggles perched on spindly legs offering 3D gaming without the need for glasses. Three decades later, almost to the day, a near-identical recreation of that table-top oddity is accompanying your Switch or Switch 2 console, launching the same old library via Nintendo Switch Online’s expansion pack.
Arnold (Arnov) Sharma grew up playing Mega Man X on an ancient Windows 98 computer. Years later, he turned those hazy memories of his childhood into something he could wear on his forearm. It’s not just a replica but a functional Mega Buster, also known as the Rock Buster. Every detail on this replica stays true to the original, thanks to accurate measurements made in Fusion 360, which started with a reference image scaled to 330 mm in length.
Tito of Macho Nacho Productions takes out his trusty screwdriver and goes to work on a limited edition Zelda Game & Watch from Nintendo that he received in 2020. This portable includes three iconic games: the original Legend of Zelda, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and Link’s Awakening from the Game Boy. It comes with a great collection of features out of the box, including a crisp LCD screen, a nice D-pad, and separate start and select buttons. The battery life is adequate, and it even has a USB-C charging connection, but Tito wants to take this device to the next level.
