3 Top Nintendo News That'll Make You Believe That Mario's Back on the Map

We, of course, may be totally preaching to the choir here. Because at this point in time, it's clear that Sony and Microsoft might be constantly vigilant at the juggernaut that is the Nintendo Switch at the moment (read below to find out why—you will be pleasantly surprised).

The Question Is: Why Is Nintendo Making All the Headlines Now?

Sure, Nintendo will set a trend here and there, revolutionize an industry, but ultimately people want to play Halo and Final Fantasy—not Mario. He's just a plumber, for crying out loud... With a mushroom. And he's fat.

Even Sonic the Hedgehog, in some ways, is cooler than that.

There are three top stories you have to read, though, proving that Nintendo's not only setting the trend, but is the trend—and despite Mario's growing waistline, the Italian stallion can still jump higher, pounce harder, and bust bigger than any Master Chief or Cloud Strife in the gaming world.

You've got some geniuses over there. And they're always looking to create something glaringly new, something gamers have never seen before.

The Thing Is No One Really Should Be Surprised at All.... This Is Nintendo We're Talking About Here

How long has the company been around, to be honest? Eons, it seems. There's a wealth of experience underneath the belt of many a gaming genius for the company, so even though they may hiccup here and there and struggle to keep up with the mega-giants of the gaming industry (XBOX and PlayStation, *ahem*), the fact is Nintendo's the "quarterback" of this digital football game.

They're calling the shots. Other players are running with it and getting the touchdowns.

Nintendo's back with a vengeance. And they'll continue being "back" for a long time to come.
