If I buy a game in Japan will I be able to translate it to English in Canada?

Currently in Japan, and planning to buy tomodachi life 2 for the switch 1 as it is significantly cheaper. I was wondering if I would be able to translate the game to English once I get back to Canada?

Do you think Nintendo will use miis again in games or make more mii games?

With the recent rise of Tomodachi Life, being one of the most fast high rising games on the switch, do you think that we will get more games using miis (such as tomodachi, miitopia, that kind of games), or even cameos like on that one mario kart race?

Super Mario/Zelda platformer

Hello,

I am looking for a console solution that can be hooked up to a tv and played with controller, that has old school platformer Mario and Zelda.

For reference, I am not very familiar with the Nintendo ecosystem, and am searching for the console for my mother to play on as she has expressed a desire to play the games of her childhood.

Thanks in advance!

Would be nice to get some reccomendatiobs for the Switch

Mario wonder is peak mario by far

A post I made a while back was talking about how I think galaxy was the best Mario game. And while I do think it’s the best 3-D one my opinion has shifted. I had an urge to play some 2D Mario and I realized I hadn’t played Mario wonder since it first came out three years ago, and I remembered loving it. I just picked it up again and all those memories came flooding back and I’m remembering how peak this game truly is. The controls are perfected. They’re not too sensitive like Mario world but they’re not too stiff like three. The personality is off the charts and the power ups are incredible. You also have the most playable characters in a Mario game by far which each one has unique little animations. Plus the badges make the game extremely customizable and you can absolutely make some insane plays with them. The only problem is the bosses but frankly, I think they’re overhated. I don’t play Mario games for the bosses anyways. I told myself a while back. That I was going to try and get every first party switch 2 game. And while I think I didn’t do the greatest on that front I think I have most of them, though I never got Bellabelle Park. After this play through I’m probably going to get it because this game is so peak.

What was the point of renewing the Virtual Console trademark, if Nintendo won't bring it back?

So, I'm sure some of you already know that Nintendo renewed the trademark of Virtual Console back in October of last year, which led many like myself to believe that they'd bring back the service in the future, but according to this post, that's not the case, because they said that NSO will remain the only way to play classic games in the forseeable future: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2026/02/nintendo-seemingly-rules-out-virtual-console-revival-says-it-remains-focused-on-offering-classics-via-switch-online

I wanna ask this: what exactly was the point of renewing the trademark if they won't bring back VC? I understand that it would hurt the sales of NSO should it be revived, but how can you just renew the license of the brand and then do nothing with it? Just to tease your fans out there? Just to spite them? This sounds like the Gwimbly CEO from Smiling Friends who says "It's MY IP to sit on and do nothing with!" and this is Nintendo with Virtual Console. They might as well just revoke it at this point.

Why isn’t Denuvo on every Nintendo game now

With how effective Denuvo is as a deterrent against PC cracking and Nintendo’s long-standing issue with Switch emulation, why isn’t Denuvo simply on every single game? It’s there sometimes but it’s not as used as PC publishers.

Switch subscription Nintendo classic roster doesn’t have half the Wii U virtual console eshop roster

What is going on with this? It’s been years at this point. Has there been anything at all said about this?

It’s ridiculous that they still to this day don’t have the same roster of games from the Wii U virtual console eshop. Where’s Ogre Battle 64? Donkey Kong 64? Diddy Kong racing? There’s so many games missing to this day.
