The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Hits Theaters In April

by admin September 15, 2025

Nintendo has announced The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a sequel to The Super Mario Bros. Movie that hit theaters in 2023, and it’s coming to the silver screen in April and will also be made by Illumination.

Shigeru Miyamoto opened today’s Nintendo Direct with a look at Super Mario Bros. for its 40th anniversary, and he revealed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be the main attraction of the celebration. Alongside this news, we learned that Brian Taylor will be returning to compose the score, and that various actors, including Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, Charlie Day, Keegan-Michael Key, and Kevin Michael Richardson, are returning to play Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, Luigi, Toad, and Kamek, respectively.

We didn’t receive any new casting updates, but considering this movie is taking Mario to space, we’ll likely be hear about casting for characters like Rosalina and a Luma, perhaps.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie hits theaters in April 2026.

In the meantime, read Game Informer’s review of The Super Mario Bros. movie, and then read Game Informer’s interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Koji Kondo about the film.

Rosalina’s Storybook From Super Mario Galaxy Is Up For Preorder At Amazon

by admin September 15, 2025

Super Mario Galaxy fans can now preorder a physical edition of Rosalina’s Storybook. Revealed during the September Nintendo Direct alongside a Super Mario Galaxy game collection, Rosalina’s Storybook adapts the in-game book into a 112-page hardcover volume. Rosalina’s Storybook will be published by Dark Horse Books on November 25, just in time for the holidays. Preorders are available now for $25 at Amazon.

$25 | Releases November 25

The fully illustrated picture book details Rosalina’s journey to outer space, where she became the protector and leader of the Lumas. All nine chapters from the original in-game book are included. The Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 collection for Switch and Switch 2 has a new chapter, but you won’t find those pages in this book.

With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you won’t be charged until your order ships and will automatically get any discounts offered before then.

Check out two of the pages from the upcoming physical edition of Rosalina’s Storybook below.

Rosalina’s Storybook (Nintendo/Dark Horse)

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 launches October 2 in physical and digital format for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The physical edition is for original Switch consoles, but you can upgrade to the Switch 2 version for free. On Switch 2, the collection will run in 4K resolution. Both games support traditional button/stick controls and motion controls. You can preorder the collection for $70 at Amazon, Walmart, and other major retailers. Check out our Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 preorder guide for more details.

Nintendo is also releasing its first Super Mario Galaxy Amiibo figures featuring Mario and Luma and Rosalina and Lumas. The new Amiibo are up for preorder for $40 each and are scheduled to launch April 2, 2026. The lengthy wait for the new Amiibo was likely intentional, as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie releases in theaters April 2026.

Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2

Dark Horse Super Mario Books

Dark Horse Books has previously collaborated with Nintendo on multiple Super Mario books, including Super Mario Encyclopedia and The Art of Super Mario Odyssey. Both of these highly rated hardcover books are steeply discounted at Amazon.

Rosalina’s Storybook will be the longest Super Mario picture book, but there are other books parents can read to kids while they wait for their preorder to arrive, including Super Mario Little Golden Book and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. We’d also recommend checking out the Super Mario Adventures comic collection and Super Mario Manga Mania.

Metroid is also getting a new book this fall

One of Nintendo’s other highly anticipated games also has a companion book you can preorder now. Ahead of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’s December 4 launch on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, fans can revisit the original trilogy in book format with Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective. The 208-page hardcover book was initially revealed last year with a June 2025 release date, but it was pushed back to October 28. Metroid fans can preorder the lavish retrospective for $46.49 (was $50) at Amazon. The clothbound hardcover has a metallic foil illustration of Samus on the cover and includes commentary and behind-the-scenes artwork from Retro Studios’ archives. Published by Piggyback–the team behind the highly rated Legend of Zelda strategy guides–the Metroid Prime Trilogy retrospective is the first Metroid book in a long time.

There’s no “spyware” in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service

by admin September 15, 2025

Gearbox and Take-Two Interactive’s Borderlands 4 has launched to cries of “pretty good” from (some) professional reviewers, and “Stutterland bugfest” from a vocal portion of the Steam playerbase. In amongst the complaints about performance, there are some fears about potential breaches of player privacy supposedly allowed for by Take-Two’s terms of service. A Borderlands developer has now responded to these fears in the Steam forums, reiterating that Take-Two at large aren’t in the business of “spyware”.

“Take-Two does not use spyware in its games,” reads the statement on Steam. “Take-Two’s Privacy Policy applies to all labels, studios, games, and services across all media and platform types such as console, PC, mobile app, and website. The Privacy Policy identifies the data activities that may be collected but this does not mean that every example is collected in each game or service.

“Take-Two identifies these practices in its Privacy Policy to provide transparency to players and comply with its legal obligations,” it goes on. “Take-Two collects this information to deliver its services to players, including to protect the game environment and player experience.”

The statement gives a couple of examples of more innocuous data collection, such as sponging up player and device identifiers to ensure compatibility with platforms, or making usernames visible to other players, together with more ambiguous practices like gathering data “to better understand how players play games”.

Take-Two have been caught deploying some pretty
insalubrious data collection software in the past. As reported by Alice O (RPS in peace) in 2018, Civilization 6 once made use of Red Shell software to track certain system data, in a bid to identify whether people who’ve clicked on adverts for games then proceed to buy them.

The Steam statement also seeks to clarify Take-Two’s policy towards mods, noting that they “prohibit mods that allow users to gain an unfair advantage, negatively impact the ability of other users to enjoy the game as intended, or allow users to gain access to content that the user is not entitled to”, but do not “generally” take action against mods “that are single-player only, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of [their] labels and third parties.” I’m not that familiar with the Borderlands modding scene, but Take-Two and subsidiary Rockstar Games have a legendarily iffy relationship with GTA modders.

As reported by Perignon Champagne Gamer, the concern about Take-Two spyware in Borderlands games dates back at least to May this year, when a Youtuber video about the publisher’s recently revised TOS sparked a short-lived uproar.

I do not want to hand over any of my data to any particular large corporation, myself, but I have to say, I don’t see anything in that TOS that strikes me as out of the ordinary, for better and worse. Suspicion is the appropriate response to such things, but exaggeration helps nobody. I’ve read a few comments that assume that Take-Two are automatically hoovering up everything mentioned in the list of possible data types collected, the second you boot up a game, rather than when you deliberately opt into certain services, such as Borderlands 4’s irritating SHiFT service for cross-play.

I am adding “interview somebody to do a proper explainer about data collection practices and privacy” to our endlessly extendable, usefully hypothetical Long Term Features trello. While we’re at it, we could look into related anxieties about anti-cheat and DRM, which have recently resurfaced thanks to Call Of Duty and Battlefield requiring that you enable secure boot on PC.

The TOS aside, some Borderlands 4 players are concerned about the game’s usage of two types of digital rights management – the infamous Denuvo software, which has been cited by a few of the reviews that mention launch performance problems, with proprietary Symbiote software stacked on top. We interviewed a Denuvo executive last year about their reputation for tanking games.

This article has been updated to mention Civilization 6’s use of Red Shell tracking software.

Nintendo Announces Yoshi And The Mysterious Book For Switch 2 Next Spring

by admin September 15, 2025

Nintendo is kicking off its September direct with a segment devoted to Mario’s 40th anniversary, and what would Mario be without his trusty steed, Yoshi? To close out its lineup of games starring the world’s most famous plumber, Nintendo closed the opening with the announcement of a new Yoshi game: Yoshi and the Mysterious Book.

The first thing that stands out is its art style, which takes a hand-drawn aesthetic and pseudo stop-motion animation style. Other than that, it’s a classic-looking 2D Yoshi. When a talking encyclopedia named Mr. E shows up, Yoshi hops inside to learn about its contents. As he explores and inevitably devours its cute and whimsical inhabitants, Yoshi takes notes on their flavor profiles and varying abilities. The trailer goes on to show a variety of different creatures riding Yoshi, Mario-style, which gives him different abilities, like fishing, surfing on waves, and throwing his rider at a wooden bullseye.

There’s not much else we know, based on the short trailer, but we’re excited to learn more about this new chapter of the green gobbler. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book launches Spring 2026 for Switch 2.

Metroid Prime 4 Game And Samus Amiibo Preorders Available Now

by admin September 15, 2025

Metroid fans have been beyond ready for the fourth entry in the Metroid Prime series, and now we know when the more than 18-year wait comes to an end. Announced during September’s jam-packed Nintendo Direct, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond launches December 4 on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, and preorders are now open for both versions at major retailers. Metroid enthusiasts can also preorder three new Amiibo figures: A new Samus Amiibo and Samus on her Vi-O-La motorcycle launch November 6, and a Sylux Amiibo releases the same day as the game.

Check out all of the Metroid Prime 4 preorder details you need to know below. We’ve also included a look at the upcoming Metroid Prime Trilogy retrospective book and two recently released official Metroid gaming accessories, including a brand-new wireless controller for Switch 1/2.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Preorder Bonuses

Nintendo rarely offers preorder bonuses with its exclusives, but it’s fairly common for retailers to have exclusive bonuses for Nintendo games. No retailer has announced any bonuses just yet, but we’ll update this story if anything changes. It took over a month for Walmart and Best Buy to reveal Pokemon Legends: Z-A exclusive bonuses. Retailers typically add the bonus to your order if you preorder before it was announced.

$70 | Releases December 4

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for Nintendo Switch 2 includes the base Switch game and the Switch 2 Upgrade Pack for $70. Like other first-party Switch 2 games and select third-party titles, the full game is stored on the cartridge, so you won’t need to download any data beyond patches.

The Switch 2 version of Metroid Prime 4 has better visuals, enhanced resolutions in handheld and docked modes, and higher frame rates. Two different graphics modes will be available at launch. When the Switch 2 is docked, Quality mode renders Samus’ latest adventure in 4K at 60fps. Performance mode offers 1080p resolution at 120fps. Metroid Prime 4’s handheld experience offers 1080p resolution at 60fps in Quality mode and 720p at 120fps in Performance mode. High Dynamic Range is supported at all times.

Switch 2 players also have the option to use mouse controls with the Joy-Con 2 to aim Samus’ arm canon. Players can swap freely between dual stick, mouse, and gyro motion controls at any time.

$60 | Releases December 4

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond retails for 10 bucks less on original Switch hardware. Like other games with versions for both generations of Switch hardware, you can upgrade to the Switch 2 edition for $10. The upgrade is available for digital and physical owners of Prime 4 on Switch.

Metroid Prime 4 Amiibo Figures

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond was initially revealed back at E3 2017, just a few months after the Nintendo Switch launched. Preorders actually opened at the same time. Many fans had an Amazon preorder for nearly eight years before the retailer finally canceled all existing orders earlier this year. Prime 4 was originally being developed by Bandai Namco, but the project was scrapped and restarted in 2019 by Retro Studios. The Nintendo subsidiary developed the previous three Prime games, and Beyond is led by the original producer Kensuke Tanabe. Gameplay footage shown so far has looked very promising.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond takes place after the events of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, though how far after remains unclear. What we do know is that it will see Samus explore an all-new planet, Viewros, populated by a new musical alien race called____ who have called on Samus to save the planet from an unknown threa. To aid in her adventure, the ____ imbue Samus with all-new psychic powers that will allow her to interface with the strange ruins and artifacts on Viewros and defend herself against the deadly creatures that live there.

As confirmed in an earlier gameplay trailer, Samus’ enigmatic rival, Sylux, will also appear and likely play a pivotable role in the storyline. Gameplay footage shown so far has looked very promising, and fans don’t have to wait much longer to explore the planet of Viewros through Samus’ iconic visor.

If you’re looking to play earlier Metroid Prime games before the Beyond arrives, unfortunately, the long-rumored Metroid Prime Trilogy for Switch never materialized. But you can at least play the gorgeous 2023 remaster of the original GameCube hit. Metroid Prime Remastered is a brilliant modernization of the 2002 classic. You can snag the physical edition for Nintendo Switch for $40 at Amazon. Samus’ 2021 side-scrolling adventure Metroid Dread is also well-worth playing.

In August, PowerA launched a pair of Metroid Prime-themed accessories. After initially selling out, the new PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller and wired gaming earbuds are back in stock at Amazon. Take a look at both of the stylish pieces of gear below.

$70

PowerA’s new Metroid-themed wireless controller is compatible with Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 via Bluetooth. The controller is officially licensed and has a traditional form factor similar to Nintendo’s Pro Controllers.

It has anti-friction joystick rings, motion controls, dual rumble motors, and two back buttons that can be remapped on the fly. The eye-catching design features Samus Aran wearing her Varia Suit and a space-themed background on the right. The Metroid Prime logo is on the left grip.

The controller can run for up to 30 hours between charges and comes with a 10-foot USB-C cable.

$25

PowerA’s Metroid Prime-themed gaming earbuds look pretty cool, but it’s worth noting upfront that the controller doesn’t have a 3.5mm headphone jack. The Switch 2 console, however, does support wired earbuds.

The $25 earbuds feature Metroid iconography on each side and three swappable silicone tips. It has an inline microphone for voice chat, 8mm dynamic audio drivers, and an adjustable slider to prevent the wires from becoming tangled.

Honestly, though, the coolest feature might be the drawstring storage bag, as it features three pieces of key art depicting Samus based on her appearances in the original trilogy.

$46.49 (was $50) | Releases October 28

Speaking of the Metroid Prime Trilogy, the highly anticipated, official visual retrospective is slated to release October 28. Made by the team behind the beautiful Legend of Zelda strategy guides, Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective is a 208-page cloth hardcover that sounds like a must-read book for fans.

The book includes concept art, sketches, and illustrations as well as commentary from Retro Studios developers and other behind-the-scenes materials such as producer’s notes from Nintendo’s archives. The book covers Metroid Prime, Prime 2: Echoes, Prime 3: Corruption, and Metroid Prime Remastered.

Series producer Kensuke Tanabe wrote the foreword for the book, and each game’s section is introduced by a developer from Retro Studios.

We have yet to see any of the pages, but the etched metallic-foil illustration of Samus on the cover looks awesome. Publisher Piggyback printed the book on premium art paper and stitched the pages to the binding. The hardcover is wrapped in cloth, which adds to the collectible-quality aesthetic.

Skyrim wizard makes it possible to fix mod conflicts and patch issues by just moving stuff around in the game

by admin September 14, 2025

Skyrim modders have yet again managed to pull off something remarkable. You know how creating patches to ensure two mods work together smoothly’s long been something that requires firing up the likes of the creation kit or xEdit? Well, thanks to a new mod dubbed the in-game patcher, it’s possible to resolve issues like that simply by wandering up to the location as the Dragonborn and editing the very make-up of the world.

See a rock clipping through a house because you’ve downloaded a couple of works that give the same bit of Whiterun a makeover? Just mosey over, grab the misbehaving mineral, and either move it elsewhere or delete it. You’ll have make sure you’ve not messed up anything else in the process before you save your changes, but assuming all the NPCs still have their own heads, you’ve got your own patch.

The modder behind this in-game patcher is RavenKZP, whose previous projects include some equally advanced stuff. Adding seasons to the new areas added to the RPG by the likes of Beyond Skyrim: Bruma and a mechanic that makes food go mouldy if you keep it in your pockets too long. They’ve also made a quest involving Morrowind’s Uncle Sweetshare, which earns them a million extra points in my book.

Anyway, enough of me curiously nerding out. This in-game patcher, originally spotted by TheGamer, is a plugin for Skyrim: Special edition’s script extender. Once it’s installed, you enter and exit a patching mode by opening and closing the game’s console, where you typically enter the likes of spawn commands.

Once open, you select objects as you usually would in the console, and can move, rotate, scale, or remove them as you see fit. Markers, such as spawn points and those which control the likes of idles, furniture interactions, and which way water flows can also be manipulated in the same fashion. You can also add keywords to items if you’re so inclined. There are a bunch of quick YouTube tutorials under the mod page’s video tab to help you get started.

Watch on YouTube

RavenKZP wrote that their creation can also be used simply to rejig the world clutter to your liking or do a bit of redecorating of houses, cities and the like, which’ll probably be what I try first if I give it a whirl. Once you’ve made your tweaks, they can be saved as “BOS/KID patches so they persist across game sessions” and shared with others in ini file form. The modder’s also got plans to keep expanding what their work can do going forwards, including adding the ability to edit multiple objects at once.

As you might imagine given what it pulls off, the in-game patcher does come with a pretty chunky list of requirements – the Skyrim script extender, Address Library for SKSE Plugins, Object Manipulation Overhaul, SKSE Menu Framework, SkyPrompt, Base Object Swapper, Keyword Item Distributor, and Debug Menu. Jaxonz Positioner Converter Remastered and More Informative Console are optional extras.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 And 2 Are Coming To Switch This October

by admin September 14, 2025

Hot off the heels of the announcement of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo announced that both Super Mario Galaxy games are finally coming to Switch this October.

2007’s Super Mario Galaxy and 2010’s Super Mario Galaxy 2 are being bundled together in a package plainly dubbed Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. Each game can also be purchased standalone, but only digitally.

The games are natively designed for the original Switch, meaning they’re also playable on Switch 2. The Switch 2 version will receive a free update adding 4K resolution support for both games. The Galaxy games on Switch also boast improved resolution, improved UI, an Assist Mode, and new Storybook chapters fleshing out the story of the Lumas.

While Super Mario Galaxy was previously available on Switch via the Super Mario 3D All-Stars, that game is no longer available to for purchase. This gives fans who missed that collection another chance to own Galaxy and its equally excellent sequel, which is making its Switch debut after being excluded from 3D All-Stars. Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be available on Switch on October 2 for $69.99. Purchasing each game individually will cost $39.99.

Additionally, Nintendo is releasing new Galaxy-themed amiibo of Mario and Rosalina on April 2, 2026 and physical version of the storybook featured in the first Mario Galaxy.

Sims challenger Paralives is out in December, so it’s time to scientifically assess those flirting animations

by admin September 14, 2025

“What does flirting actually look like?” is one of several, quintessentially Friday-afternoon questions raised by the latest development footage for Paralives, the upcoming life sim with its heart set on stealing yours away from The Sims.

We last covered Paralives in October last year, when the devs confirmed an early access release in 2025. That early access launch date, 8th December, is fast approaching, so it’s high time we treated this would-be Maxis-feller to some fresh scrutiny. If only to stop ourselves thinking about The Sims 4’s harrowing suite of imaginary friends.

So: what does flirting actually look like? Paralives thinks it looks like smiling and making eye contact and maybe leaning in a bit closer than you otherwise would. Maybe fluttering your hands around in a delicately come-hither way. Witness the simmering emotions in the below development video, just published on the developer’s site. All the animations are created with reference to the moderately context-sensitive Together Cards you’ll play to direct conversations.

Watch on YouTube

As in most other departments, The Sims prefers to play things slapstick. I myself adhere to the Mr Darcy/Kaguya-sama approach to flirting, which consists of looking steadily at a ceiling corner while making no sudden movements. You know, kind of like how you’d defuse an argument with a bear. If it’s really going well, I’ll storm out of the room and stop speaking to that person for months. Believe it or not, this method has worked at least once.

The video also includes some animations for how Parafolks, as they’re called, talk to children. The devs are currently working on bespoke animations for kids, looking at what they can carry over from the adults, and what needs to be “made from scratch”. This aside makes me wonder after the possibility of a life sim in which kids pick up body language from parental figures. Similar to this scene in The Invincibles.

Alice Bee (RPS in peace) compared Paralives favourably to what we then knew of The Sims 5 in 2022. I like the looks of it rather more than I do this year’s other big Sims competitor – burbanite frightfest InZOI, which Jay Castello summarised in our early access review as “an endless series of vapid, corporate-feeling interactions that never lend themselves to interesting storytelling”. Paralives is a smalltown affair, and much less glossy – check out this antique shop, for example.

I do worry it might be wholesome to a fault, though. The game’s Steam page blurb is bracingly unromantic: “You live and then you die. But at least do it in a nice house!” The action in-game, however, seems very feelgoody-two-shoes, notwithstanding the obligatory option to shut your characters in doorless rooms.

The Sims has been a success partly because it has quite a pronounced nasty streak born of understanding the sociopathic tendencies of certain players – The Sims 4 has whole expansion packs dedicated to death. I’d like to see some of that energy in Paralives, and a little less parafolksiness. At the very least, they could let me romance people by giving no outward impression that I am conscious they exist.

This being an article about life sims, I will spare a thought for the cancelled Life By You and its shuttered creators, Paradox Tectonic. The game’s former publishers Paradox Interactive are still interested in making a Sims competitor, but have said they need to “start smaller” next time.
