Read on blog or Reader My Nintendo News Shigeru Miyamoto first in gaming industry to receive Japan’s Order of Culture award By nintendojam on October 23, 2026 The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, an official Japanese government organization, has announced that Shigeru Miyamoto, legendary game designer and creator of Nintendo’s most iconic franchises including Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, and Pikmin, will be receiving the 2026 Order of Culture award. Miyamoto is the first in the gaming industry to receive the highly prestigious award, honoring nearly 50 years of cultural contributions while working at Nintendo; designing the original Donkey Kong arcade game being his big break in 1981. Since then, gaming has undoubtedly become an important part of culture around the world. While receiving the award, Miyamoto humbly stated that though it takes more than one person to create games, he accepts it with the intention of representing the entire team, and considers himself very lucky. A full interview with him was also conducted, which can be found on Japanese news website Denfaminico Gamer. To avoid misconstruing his words due to machine translation, we’ll refrain from posting any more tidbits from the interview until a more accurate translation is available.

Read on blog or Reader My Nintendo News ARMS added to Nintendo Music By nintendojam on October 23, 2026 Today’s Nintendo Music update includes an hour and a half of music from the 2017 Nintendo Switch original fighting game, ARMS, with 45 total tracks added. The idea of a potential sequel for Nintendo Switch 2 has been baselessly speculated, and seeing now that Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about their experimental IP is at least a hopeful sign for more to come from the series in the future. In the meantime, ARMS is one of the many games that received a free Switch 2 update with enhanced resolution, frame rate, and HDR support. The Nintendo Music app is a free download on iOS and Android, and you can also listen in a web browser, as long as you have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Read on blog or Reader My Nintendo News Nintendo Switch 2 has been jailbroken for the first time through eShop game and AI By Sickr on October 22, 2026 An intrepid individual has finally jailbroken the Nintendo Switch 2 causing celebration in the modding community. However it is important to note that the jailbreak itself is tethered, which means it’s lost every time you shutdown the Nintendo Switch 2 system. The jailbreaking was achieved through the cheap Nintendo Switch 2 software package SmileBASIC 4 and OpenAi. To show evidence of the Nintendo Switch 2 being jailbroken the user posted a video on X of a modded Mario Kart World featuring the likes of Sanrio’s Cinnamoroll, Family Guy’s Peter Griffin, and Hatsune Miku. Nintendo will likely catch on to this quickly and remove the $25 SmileBASIC 4 from the Nintendo eShop swiftly. Many thanks to those who sent this in!
