Pretty crazy stuff if you haven't seen it - a game store owner had a box of Super Mario/Duck Hunt carts that turned out to be - brand new - manufactured in 1993 (!) - an extremely late variant unknown to collectors nintendowire.com/news/2026/07...

We discovered a new variant of Super Mario Bros.

Inside, were 97 individually wrapped, brand-new copies of Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Each game was wrapped in the same baggie that would have come in an

Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Some footage does exist. I downloaded two clips from (I think) an old Sega website ages ago. There were also some images of the then-president of Nintendo of America, Tatsumi Kimishima, welcoming Sonic.

According to former Sega employee Mike Fischer, when Sega signed on to publish Gamecube games, Nintendo posted a guy in a Mario costume to greet the Sonic mascot.

Sega-16: You were only at Sega this time for for a couple years. Why did you leave? Mike Fischer: I was there there to basically put the Dreamcast to bed, but my real my real task was to shift Sega over from a first party to a third party. A big part of that was rebuilding the relationships with Nintendo and PlayStation and then forging the relationship with Xbox. It was tough all around, and I think credit goes to both Sony and Nintendo. Andy House was Vice-President of Marketing at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) at that time, and Peter had run some trade ads kind of making fun of the PlayStation shortage. I remember Andy calling me because I’ve known him from my Namco days, and he’s just yelling at me. He’s like, “This is not professional! We’re gentlemen in this industry! This is not how we treat each other.!” I had to call Andy back and say, “Listen, man. We have no money to market these games, you know? Can you help us out?” And he did. He gave us a million dollars of TV advertising for Virtua Fighter. The sweetest thing was we we brought the the Sonic the Hedgehog mascot character up to Nintendo, and the Mario mascot character was there at the door of Nintendo of America and gave him a hug and welcomed him in. I think Arakawa-san from Nintendo of America was there. I’m not going to lie, I got a little teary-eyed when I saw that happen. It was really sweet. Of course, the Xbox guys danced from day one.

Mike Fischer began his Sega tenure at a young age and spent his first few years in Japan before transferring over to SOA. He went on to executive positions at Namco, Square/Enix, and Xbox. He told us about some of the historic events he witnessed over the years. www.sega-16.com/2026/05/inte...

In 2000, IGN Pocket posted a mysterious image, allegedly from "a Japanese correspondent", showing what appeared to be a Yoshi game or tech demo for GBA. As it turns out, the thing was a mock-up by Famitsu 64 magazine. Creds to PineappleCarl from the Gaming Alexandria Discord for the find!
