Nintendo just cranked out another Mario Kart World update, and version 1.1.2 is here.
This update is led by an adjustment to the Random option in wireless VS Races. On top of that, there are a few fixes, including a couple of specific ones for Dino Dino Jungle and Bullet Bill.
The full rundown is as follows:
System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: IO Interactive
Publisher: IO Interactive
The slick, noir-ish montage FMV that plays at the beginning of Hitman World of Assassination’s campaign is an incredibly confident thing. Like any decent introduction it sets out the tonal blueprint of the game you’re about to play – but in Hitman’s case, it does so much more besides. Originally released in 2016, the first entry in IO Interactive’s soft reboot of the franchise was a course correction of sorts, meant to put the developer back on track both creatively and financially. As the cinematic medley plays out, you’re taken on a whistle-stop tour of the past series’ most impactful missions and moments. It’s a definitive statement of intent from IO Interactive, and one that melts away past criticisms over the course of its 2 minute and 22 second runtime. As the artful collage builds to its apex, there’s a subtle – if slightly brazen – feeling that IO Interactive is in no small way hinting that the best is yet to come.
June 24: Drag x Drive just received its release date. The game will be ready to go on August 14, 2025 at a price point of $20.

Activision is continuing to provide information about Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 leading up to launch, and now we’ve received word that Jack Black will be playing Officer Dick and Constable Richard in the game.
Officer Dick is a fan-favorite secret skater who previously appeared in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2. As for Constable Richard, he’s the UK counterpart.

Here’s an interesting tidbit that may come as a surprise: Nintendo Pictures worked on the PS5 title Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. That information comes from the game’s credits.
You may have forgotten about Nintendo Pictures, which was officially established in 2022. The group was formed after Nintendo acquired the visual content company Dynamo Pictures. The original announcement mentioned that Nintendo Pictures would make visual content based on Nintendo IP, but Death Stranding 2 certainly isn’t that.
