If you're in the mood to feel judged, then these trending dank memes are for you.

With many gaming-inclined people stuck indoors, it seems like everyone and their mom has been playing Animal Crossing. The latest iteration of the game, called New Horizons, was released on March 20th for Nintendo Switch.

And we've got a lot of them right here.
If you love movies and are also into gaming, boy, do we have a treat for you! Artist and content creator Ronaldo Spettacolare shared these Nintendo/movie mashup posters on Instagram and Imgur, and we've gotta say that even someone who isn't into Mario and friends can appreciate these babies. We've put 'em all up here, but you can enjoy more of his work on Instagram.
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) has already inspired some seriously amazing memes. Mini Keanu Reeves and Breathtaking memes are still going strong, but it's time to make way for a new E3 format. Nintendo fans will be pleased that Luigi is the star of this trending template, and even more pleased that he's being flanked by two babes. The terrified expression on the character's face (while seemingly cowering from the babes) was just begging to be meme'd, and Reddit and Instagram have stepped up to the plate as per usual. We expect to see a lot more of these memes this week, but here are our favorites so far.
Nintendo nerds went wild yesterday when after the final Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Nintendo Direct went live.
