Nintendo and The Seattle Mariners have been partners for a long time, and the collaboration is expanding in big way with this year with the professional baseball team adding Nintendo logos to its jerseys.

As you can see in the video below, the Nintendo logo will appear on the left sleeve of players' jerseys this year. The Mariners open their season on March 27, just before the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct on April 2. This is all happening during the same year Nintendo will release the Switch 2.

The Mariners jerseys will feature the red Nintendo logo on their home jerseys and a Nintendo Switch 2 logo on their away jerseys. This makes the Mariners the first MLB team ever to have different marks for home and away games.

Jack Black stars in A Minecraft Movie as Steve, but he wasn't originally going to play that part. Mojang senior director of original content, Torfi Frans Olafsson, said in an interview that Black was initially signed up to play a talking pig.

"It was very, very, very late in the development where we had the idea to switch it to become Steve, because we needed an expert and host," Olafsson told Variety. "This is not my Steve or your Steve--this is Jack Black's Steve."

Olafsson said a major piece of feedback that Mojang received after the first teasers came out was, "'Hey, wait a minute--this is just Jack Black.'" And indeed, that was the aim. "Maybe it is, because this is literally him interpreting this character and what it means to him," Olafsson said.

Ahead of the release of A Minecraft Movie next month, McDonald's has revealed new tie-in Happy Meals that'll come with one of several collectibles. Each one of these also comes with a matching card and a code that fans can redeem to unlock exclusive skins in the Minecraft's game marketplace, and the promotion will kick off on April 1. Every A Minecraft Movie Meal purchased through the McDonald's App will also give fans an in-game bonus at no additional cost.

McDonald's will also offer something a little spicier in the form of a limited-edition hot sauce inspired by the hell-like dimension of The Nether, which will be available as part of the 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal or as an add-on purchase with other McDonald's meals. Inspired by both Minecraft and McDonald's, some of these toys have weird and hilarious descriptions.

The Big Mac Crystal was "mined from the sea of special sauce" and the Fry Helmet is enchanted headwear based on the best use of a potato. Here's a breakdown of each of the six collectibles that fans can gather:

Hitting is one of the most frustrating yet rewarding experiences in all of MLB The Show 25. One moment, you're sending balls into the stands; the next, you can't seem to hit a single pitch coming your way. While you can go through slumps, just like MLB players do in real life, your struggles with hitting could come down to something as simple as your settings.

In MLB The Show 25, the ideal hitting style uses the "Zone" Hitting Interface. This interface allows you to more accurately get the barrel of your bat on the ball. The Zone interface is also the only option that allows for the use of PCI, or Plate Control Indicator. PCI is an entirely different ballgame in the settings menu, and going through the various options can get confusing.

To ensure you have the best chance to hit in MLB The Show 25, check out the guide to see the top PCI settings.
