My Nintendo Japan gets yet another fantastic round of physical goodies for members to scoop up. This time around, all the items are Super Mario Maker 2-themed. Check out the full rundown of merch below.

Super Mario Maker 2 is just over a month out from release, and Nintendo is giving the game its final marketing push. That includes a new print ad in the most recent issue of Famitsu, and it's definitely an eye-catcher. I have a feeling this game is going to do pretty well for itself!

Wondering who's going to voice the action at Nintendo's E3 2019 festivities? The official commentary teams for the Smash Bros. Ultimate World Championship 2019, Splatoon 2 World Championship 2019, and Super Mario Maker 2 Invitational 2019 have been revealed. Check out the rundown via the tweets above!

The Mario Kart Tour beta is officially underway, which means first screens and gameplay details have come out. Check out the first round of info below.

- played in portrait mode, rather than landscape mode
- Grand Prix cups compromising mostly of tracks from previously released Mario Kart titles
- each cup contains three courses and one mini game
- mirror courses of existing courses are considered new tracks
- auto-accelerate
- each race has two laps
- the number of items each player receives upon hitting an item box is dependent on the stage
- for example, Toad gets 3 items on a Toad course, but only gets 2 in Donkey Kong Jungle

- you control with one hand by swiping the screen

David Howard was a custodian at Johnson Primary School in West Tucson for 20 years. The the last 10 of those years, Mr. Howard has been dressing up as Mario. Why dress up as Mario, you ask? Mr. Howard said he did it in order to relate to the kids. He also used the costume as a way to encourage kids to show up to school and work hard. If students followed through and did their best, Mr. Howard would dress as Mario to reward them.

David Howard had his last day at work on May 17th, 2019, retiring after his 20 years of service. Howard didn't disappoint on his final day, dressing up as Mario one last time to say goodbye to students and staff alike. There was even one student who started crying because she had to leave early and thought she'd miss Mario, but Mr. Howard made sure to meet up to say goodbye.

As a final goodbye from his position, family and friends came together in a classroom to celebrate. Of course, David was given a Mario cake for the festivities.
