Nintendo

The company that gave the world Mario, Link, and Samus is the undisputed champ of the modern console war, with nearly 150 million Switches sold since 2017. But now, speculation is rampant about the company's next console, rumored to launch in 2025.

At 10am ET/7am PT on Monday, Nintendo will be hosting the first ever Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, “a series focused on titles from our development & publishing partners, where there’ll be “updates on a small group of previously-announced Nintendo Switch games”.

Lego officially confirmed the retro NES console and TV sets that leaked yesterday are real, complete with a new trailer showing the crank that makes Mario side-scroll in action. The set is due out August 1 and costs $230.
