በAI የተዘገበ በ AI የተሰራ ምስል

The March 5, 2026, release of Pokémon Pokopia—a Minecraft-like RPG for Nintendo Switch 2—has ignited a sharp recovery in Nintendo's shares, with a 9% intraday rise on March 11 amid sell-outs worldwide, a Metacritic score of 89, and praise as a system seller following earlier console sales concerns.

In response to backlash following its March 25 announcement, Nintendo told IGN that US prices for physical first-party Switch 2 games remain unchanged at $69.99, while digital versions will be cheaper at $59.99—starting with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on May 21. The policy reflects production costs and is not retroactive.

Nintendo is reducing production of its Switch 2 console by a third this quarter, from six million to four million units, following disappointing holiday sales in the United States. The move comes despite a strong launch, with sales now lagging behind expectations amid a thin software lineup. Shares in the company fell 6.3 percent in Tokyo after the news broke.

Nintendo has announced its fifth Direct of 2026—the second dedicated to the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy Movie—for March 9, featuring the final trailer ahead of the film's April 1 release. New artwork spotlights returning characters from classic Mario games, including Wart, Ninjis, Birdo, Mouser, and frog suits.

The runtime for the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy movie has been announced. It is nearly the same length as a world-record 120-star speedrun of Super Mario 64. The film is slightly longer than the 2023 Super Mario Bros. Movie.

Nintendo has released Hello, Mario, a free interactive app featuring the plumber's face, available on Android, iOS, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. The app allows children to manipulate Mario's facial features for reactions and includes a screentime limit. It forms part of Nintendo's new My Mario collection aimed at young audiences.

Nintendo has released an enhanced version of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition for the Switch 2 console. This paid upgrade improves performance and resolution for the 2015 Wii U game's remake. The update arrives nearly a year after the original Switch port.
