Super Mario Maker 2
Today, Nintendo “revealed” a new hidden power-up introduced in Super Mario Maker 2: the Super Hammers, which transforms your character into Builder Mario / Luigi / Toad : Toadette. With this transformation, you can use a hammer to break blocks, but also defeat enemies. You can even place blocks to reach high places! However, there’s a catch: it can only be used in the Super Mario 3D World style.
Just like the other “hidden” power-up, you can unlock it by playing through the Story Mode. If you haven’t unlocked it yet and want to try it out right now, you can check out the following official course: XYK-9FY-CGG.
Here’s a video showcasing the Super Hammer:
Finally, Nintendo have announced that players have uploaded over 4 million levels in barely a month!

Nintendo Switch
Earlier this month, Nintendo announced that a “new” model of Nintendo Switch will be released in late August around the world. It features improved internals, which allow the battery to last much longer than the original model. In Hong Kong specifically, this new model will be available pretty soon… from August 1st, which is earlier than in other regions.
