I’ve been watching a bunch of shows and movies released in 2025 and noticed how often Nintendo gear makes a surprise appearance. As a fan, I started grabbing screenshots every time I spotted one. From older models to current ones, it’s cool to see how they’re still getting screen time. Each scene adds a little something when a classic or familiar handheld shows up.Below are all the moments I’ve found so far this year — all Nintendo, all fun.
