Greetings, humans.<\/p>\n

Well, it’s been a slightly quieter week, mostly likely due to the fact that it’s Golden Week over in Japan, so many folks will be taking a much-needed break. Still, there have been some interesting stories, so let’s go through a few of them here.<\/p>\n

First up, it seems the streaming release date for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie<\/strong> might be sooner than we think<\/a>. Meanwhile, a popular Pok\u00e9mon-themed YouTube channel is no more<\/a> after some copyright strikes from Nintendo. And if you’re itching to play Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/a> on Switch 2, Square Enix has released a demo<\/a> you can try right now.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which, we also conducted an interview with Rebirth’s director, Naoki Hamaguchi<\/a>. We touched on the work required to get the game running on Switch 2, along with how the upcoming third entry is progressing. In another<\/em> interview<\/a>, we grilled the Creative Director for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/a> on how MachineGames brought the game to Switch 2.<\/p>\n
