The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opens this week, so that means most of its all-star cast is on the marketing trail and talking to the press. One would expect chatter to be limited to the next big Nintendo adaptation, but things tend to go off the rails, especially if Jack Black is involved...
It's safe to say Crimson Desert is a success with 3 million copies sold (so far) and substantial patches coming in hot. But it's hard to fix a narrative and quest structure that was described as "fatally undercooked" by Lewis Gordon in Eurogamer's own review. Now, we've learned the voice behind "stoic" protagonist Kliff, Alec Newman (Cyberpunk 2077), was as confused by its nature as many players.
I currently spend more of my time playing games on my PlayStation Portal than I do on my actual PlayStation 5. I'm sure that wasn't Sony's end goal with the mighty little peripheral, but either way, the powers that be are keeping me nestled nicely inside their little ecosystem. I've taken the Portal to other partners' houses, I've played it on the bus, I often kick back and play some Ball X Pit on the little screen whilst I've got Great British Menu or some other cooking show on the big TV. After my initial skepticism about the device formally known as Project Q, I must say, I am a complete convert. And I think you should be, too.
Head of Naughty Dog Neil Druckmann has shared two early sketches of what would eventually become Joel and Ellie in The Last of Us, teasing a "few stops" still left on the series' "road ahead".
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie finally arrives tomorrow, 1st April, and box office tracking is already looking out of this world. With a five-day weekend ahead of it across the US, Canada, and other international territories enjoying Easter holidays this week, it was easy to see it as the go-to family movie of the early spring season - and fresh data suggests it could be bigger than many expected.
The Long Dark developer Hinterland has said the conclusion of the multi-year Wintermute storyline won't mark the end of "meaningful development" of the first-person Arctic survival game.
Famous leaker Nate the Hate (who has a pretty solid track record) has been making waves for the past few days after supposedly revealing much of Nintendo's big plans for 2026 and early 2027, but his latest podcast episode had one more interesting update worth examining - and it's about the current status of the long-awaited Final Fantasy 9 remake.
I don't know about you, dear reader, but much like Eurogamer's Matt Wales, I can't stop playing Pokémon Pokopia. It's my favourite Nintendo first-party release in a bit, and its breadth and depth is simply astounding. Now, following its financial success, post-launch plans are beginning to ramp up, and the first big collaboration is with... IKEA.
There may be a glimmer of hope for the ongoing video game industry payment processor crisis, which has thrown the livelihoods of creatives worldwide into question. This potential rescue is coming from an interesting place too. Not untraceable crypto currency, nor EU legislation, but a strong warning by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
