Allow me to introduce you to the world’s first #ZeldaPool, now 100% complete! Here’s to this amazing franchise always being around. Thank you for the memories, Nintendo. I’m excited for the future!

I was a huge Hulk Hogan fan as a kid in the 80’s, having gone to my first match of his in 1991, in Los Angeles, with my dad. Hogan sent me an autographed photo, as a congratulatory gift when I became an Eagle Scout in 1999. I was there with my dad at WrestleMania 21 in 2005,…
Sales face-off! BIG POST! For these 100 sales months (March, ‘17 through June, ‘25), this is how many times each console has been the best selling of the month in the US: Nintendo Switch = 55 PlayStation 5 = 33 PlayStation 4 = 11 Nintendo Switch 2 = 1 - NS won 33/44 months…
Nintendo Switch 2 is an absolute sales beast! The system sold 1.6m units in June, the highest launch month unit sales for video game hardware in US history. The previous high was the 1.1m units of PlayStation 4 sold during November 2013. (Data from Circana.) Around 11:30pm PT…
Paul Gale Network has been around since 2006 in concept and 2007 in execution, with divisions that followed, including PGN: Fitness and Martial Arts, PGN: MMA, PGN: SK, and PGN: TKD. Once in a while though, a logo needs a refresh. Introducing the new one for PGN: Shotokan…

Donkey Kong Bananza gives me the character movement mastery that I loved from Super Mario Odyssey and the sense of “I wonder if I can do it this way” from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game is bright, beautiful, polished, and ridiculously fun. Its graphics, music,…
Donkey Kong Bananza is 100% worth it and is a guaranteed Game of the Year contender! I have not been able to put it down all day! Extremely polished and absolute fun. Welcome back, DK. So worth the wait!

Donkey Kong Bananza is out TODAY! (Unbeknownst to me, while I was filming today’s short, my wife was doing this with our dog. 😂 So…here’s a bonus, lol.)
Benjamin (Link) will be 18 2/3 years old when the The Legend of Zelda movie hits theaters, May 7, 2027. Bo (Zelda) will be 22 years and change…potentially, recently turned 23. I imagine that during filming of Zelda, there will be some footage shot for a sequel (while both…
Wow, Zelda and Link have been cast for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda! Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. I am so stoked for this movie!
This is Miyamoto. I am pleased to announce that for the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda, Zelda will be played by Bo Bragason-san, and Link by Benjamin Evan Ainsworth-san. I am very much looking forward to seeing both of them on the big screen. (1/2)
I’m sure that we’d have been in for a treat, had Donkey Kong Bananza released on Nintendo Switch, but having it on NS2, definitely means we’re getting more of Nintendo’s vision. The game looks stunning and is almost here. Here’s to the next GotY contender of 2025!
