Even though Mario and Peach are one of the most iconic pairings in video games, Nintendo says their relationship is strictly platonic.

A few days ago, on the Nintendo Today! App, the Big N dropped this major bombshell on the world, revealing that the Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the Italian plumber are simply "good friends". We missed the initial post, but thankfully, KirPinkFury has us covered.

Nintendo have seemingly answered the question that gaming fans have been asking for decades after clarifying Mario and Princess Peach's relationship. Super Mario has been a hero on our screens since 1985, first saving the beautiful princess from Bowser's clutches all the way back in 1985 in the original Super Mario Bros.

Nintendo has officially confirmed that Mario and Peach are “just good friends,” ending 40 years of speculation about the duo’s relationship.

This upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 bundle gets you a copy of the hotly anticipated new Pokémon game at a slight discount, and it might simply be your best shot to buy the console right now.

Many have taken this relationship for granted for decades, but, in the company's own words, it is very different from how some imagined it.

Nintendo is rumored to be holding a Nintendo Direct soon. Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was just rated in Korea so it could also be in the Direct.

The Switch 2 Edition includes Jamboree TV, a mode that utilizes the latest technology from Nintendo, but is it a necessary upgrade?

Nintendo’s consistent use of mature, “good-enough” hardware—paired with inventive design, evergreen intellectual property, and wallet-friendly price points—has repeatedly transformed technological humility into multi-billion-dollar profits.

It’s a little early in the Switch 2’s lifecycle to say definitively that Donkey Kong Bananza is a game of that caliber, but after playing it for the better part of a week I can say that the “smash everything” mechanic that defines its gameplay is an absolute delight.
