Super Mario Land – это классический платформер, в котором игроку предстоит управлять Марио и спасти принцессу Дейзи от инопланетного захватчика Татанги. Игровой процесс разворачивается в Королевстве Сараса Ленд, состоящем из четырех уникальных миров, каждый из которых поделен на несколько уровней. Марио может прыгать, бегать и стрелять специальными шариками, которые, отскакивая от поверхностей, уничтожают врагов. Также он может собирать бонусы, такие как супер-гриб, увеличивающий его размер, и огненный цветок, позволяющий стрелять огненными шарами. Уровни наполнены различными препятствиями, ловушками и врагами, требующими от игрока ловкости и стратегического мышления. В конце каждого мира Марио сражается с боссом, победа над которым необходима для продвижения дальше. Особенностью игры является возможность управления подводной лодкой и самолетом в некоторых уровнях, что добавляет разнообразие в геймплей.
Inside Buckshot Roulette developer Mike Klubnika's terrifically nasty horror universe of post-Soviet malaise Atrocity exhibition. In Mike Klubnika's growing oeuvre of brilliantly deplorable games, the same elements tend to recur. Across three excellent games in almost as many years - 2023's Buckshot Roulette, 2025's S.p.l.i.t, and 2026's Machine Party - Klubnika has remixed each of these elements with design verve and stylistic aplomb. Klubnika's desktop PC, then, was both a creative instrument and portal into exotic worlds and taboo-feeling media: Klubnika remembers pirating the edgy top-down shooter Hotline Miami when he was 10 or 11 years old before discovering the music of Aphex Twin in one particularly strange level of the Half-Life multiplayer mod Sven Co-op.
Wii Sports holds an important place in Nintendo’s history. It’s the best-selling piece of software the company has ever made, one that permeated culture in surprising ways, and its success helped rejuvenate Nintendo after a period of steady decline. While subsequent sports titles from Nintendo never sold quite as well as the original Wii Sports, they’ve become a fixture for each new console, much like a new Mario Kart or Pokémon. The game is coming out during a particularly hectic time for new video game releases, and it’s sandwiched between two flashier Switch 2 titles in Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave and the upcoming remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
"That Stinks!" and other Wario Land songs return. Last month, Nintendo released a new update for its music application Nintendo Music , adding the WarioWare: Move It! Now, in a new update this month, it's added the Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 album to the paid service. Here's what you can expect from this latest update.
The Jackbox Party Pack 12 is about to be released, and with it a new collection of party games to break out. With five new games, this Party Pack has a wide variety of approaches to gameplay, from stone-cold and chaotic trivia to picture-stretching games to fit a specific mood. Does this varied approach help create a well-rounded experience, or does it mean the Jackbox Party Pack 12 loses its cohesion? Hyperface Might Be My New Favorite Jackbox Game Speaking of quick bits, Hyperface is a game where players will be prompted with an esoteric situation and asked to morph a face, Super Mario 64 style, to create the kind of reaction you might expect to have in that moment.
The bastion of comedy that is Saturday Night Live recently decided to poke fun at the close-by release dates of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and GTA 6. The sketch marks the rare occasion the show acknowledges video games, bringing to mind a moment in 2021 where Elon Musk, of all people, showed up in a Wario suit. If you need a reminder, Musk hosted Saturday Night Live on May 8, 2021, and one of the bits involved a lawyer defending Wario in court against the accusation he murdered Mario. The Tesla CEO himself was positioned as the villain of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, in a get up that included the moustache and all.

I'm well aware the majority of you would rather stick with modern LCD screens, especially since excellent tiny portables like the Anbernic RG28XX exist for $42 at Amazon.

Another Nintendo Direct came and went without mention of a new Mario game, ending the franchise's 40th anniversary year not with a bang, but with a resounding "huh?" Despite rumors and murmurs from noted leakers , there was no reveal of a 3D Mario game at the September 2026 Nintendo Direct . In fact, the only mention of Nintendo's mascot was a free update to Mario Kart World, which allows you to play SNES courses already in the Free Roam map in Versus mode. Super Mario 64 was a launch title for the Nintendo 64, and Sunshine, Galaxy, 3D Land, and Odyssey all released within a year of their respective platforms' lifecycles. (Wii U title Super Mario 3D World launched a year and four days after the console, but that's close enough.) https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/2097696070990016647?s=20 Meanwhile, there hasn't even been a hint of a 3D Mario game for Switch 2.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - Release date: November 2003 - Developer: Ubisoft Montreal - Platforms: PS2, Xbox, GameCube, PC What is it: Prince of Persia made the leap from 2D to 3D with The Sands of Time, transforming the series into an acrobatic adventure built around running across walls, swinging from poles, vaulting over obstacles and avoiding elaborate death traps. Super Meat Boy - Release date: October 2010 - Developer: Team Meat - Platforms: Xbox 360, PC, PS4, PS Vita, Wii U, Nintendo Switch What is it: Meat Boy is a small red cube of exposed flesh trying to rescue his girlfriend Bandage Girl from the evil Dr. Shovel Knight - Release date: June 2014 - Developer: Yacht Club Games - Platforms: PC, Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, PS3, PS4, PS Vita, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch What is it: He’s a knight.

New Super Smash Bros and Nintendogs games are on the way, according to prominent Nintendo leaker Fur real? A prominent Nintendo leaker has spilled even more information about the console maker's potential plans, which include the long-awaited return of Nintendogs and an all-new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, apparently.) The scoop comes from the ever-enigmatic Malo932, who first leaked that the company was preparing two back-to-back Nintendo Directs well before the Big N had the chance to tell us itself. Another 2D Metroid game, a new Wario Land, a Star Fox "adventure" and whatever shape the next 3D Mario takes will supposedly launch in 2027, as well.
A brand-new Super Smash Bros game is reportedly in development, with a Nintendo leaker claiming it won’t simply be a port or Deluxe version of Smash Ultimate. The claim comes from YouTube user Malo932, who has gained attention after correctly revealing several of Nintendo’s plans ahead of their official announcements, including 2026’s Star Fox. Details on the rumored game are scarce, but if Nintendo really is making another installment, it could feature a smaller roster, considering series creator Masahiro Sakurai has spoken in the past about the difficulty of continuously adding new characters. And that’s if Sakurai is in charge of a new entry, if one is even in development.
Nintendo is hosting two Directs in the coming days, and it’s pretty much all I’ve been thinking about since the announcement. On Tuesday, September 8, it’s The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary Direct, followed by a more general Nintendo Direct on Wednesday, September 9. Twilight Princess on Nintendo Switch Online Speaking of NSO, it bothers me more than it should that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the only 3D Zelda game that’s not playable in some form on Switch 2. Ultimate noticeably hasn’t received a Switch 2 performance patch like Super Mario Odyssey, the open-world Zeldas, and plenty of other best-selling Switch 1 games, and combined with the fact that a new Smash game almost always hits within the first two years of a new Nintendo console, it feels like a prime candidate for a Switch 2 Edition.” And, after spending the last year declaring it to be too soon for 3D Mario in the wake of Donkey Kong Bananza – another 3D mascot platformer from much of the same team as 3D Mario – I now think we’re entering the window where we could see the plumber show up any time.
Hello everyone, and well done for making it to the weekend once again. Give yourself a pat on the back. This week in the land of Nintendo, Super Mario Sunshine was added to Switch Online , bringing back one of the most divisive Mario games and – for those who don't own 3D All-Stars – rounding out the collection of 3D entries on Switch 2.

Three decades ago, Nintendo discontinued its Virtual Boy console after it failed to catch on. But now, two of the unreleased Virtual Boy titles are set to make their debut on Nintendo Switch Online. Nintendo has announced that D-Hopper and Zero Racers will be available on Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pass on August 4. Virtual Boy Wario Land Mario Clash Galactic Pinball Teleroboxer Mario's Tennis Although Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey once opined that Virtual Boy had " hurt the VR industry ," Nintendo surprised players by adding support for select Virtual Boy titles in September 2025.
Nintendo is releasing two unreleased Virtual Boy games next week, with a game from Fire Emblem developer Intelligent Systems finally seeing the light of day. Everybody loved the Virtual Boy right? It wasn't such a failure that only 22 games released in Japan and the US, got canceled for other countries, and stopped releasing games in less than a year… right? And while Jack Bros and Virtual Boy Wario Land are pretty much everything you need to play on the console, it has turned out to be one of the coolest Nintendo Switch Online releases for two good reasons.
PETA wants to give an abandoned KFC a second life by turning it into the world’s first “Chicken Empathy Museum.” The animal rights organization has set its sights on a vacant former KFC in Fleetwood, Lancashire, with plans to replace fried chicken meals with exhibits dedicated to the birds. In a letter to Landwood Property Auctions, PETA asked whether the building’s owner would consider lending or donating the property for educational use. However, the plan has already hit a snag. Landwood reportedly sold the building last summer and advised PETA to track down its current owner through the UK Land Registry.
