And who's that with Fallon? Nintendo America president Reggie Fils-Aime, who hand-carried the game to Fallon on an iPhone 7.

Better yet, Nintendo creative director Shigeru Miyamoto was there in the audience to cheer on Fallon - he's the iconic guy behind characters like Super Mario, Link, Donkey Kong, and many more.
