This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Original (10/3): Picross X: Picbits vs Uzboross originally launched in Japan last August, but unlike Jupiter’s Picross S games, it didn’t receive a worldwide release. It seems Jupiter is now rectifying this, as players in Europe and North America will be able to enjoy the title when it releases in the West this November.

Picross X: Picbits vs Uzboross is a more involved version of Jupiter’s Picross S titles, containing more customization options and wackier game modes. The game will also feature a co-op mode, which all Picross S games were recently updated with.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe recently received its latest wave of DLC from the Booster Course Pass, so now’s a great time to think about the best character and kart builds for those looking to get into the nitty gritty of things.

If you’ve played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, you’ve likely come across a lot of players using Waluigi with the Wild Wiggler, Rollers, and Paper Glider. Although part of the reason for this might be the humorous contrast of watching Waluigi ride on a caterpillar, the main factor behind this build’s ubiquity is that it is one of the most optimal character and kart combinations in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. This naturally leads into the question of why this build is so good, and if there are other builds in the game that might be able to compete with it. This guide will aim to answer both of those questions, first by explaining some of the hidden mechanics that make certain builds more viable than others, and then by providing examples of some of the more competitive builds Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has to offer.

A new Splatfest centered around various taste sensations has just been announced for Splatoon 3. The event will be held from January 6, 4 PM PT to January 8, 4 PM PT.

This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Borderlands 3 could potentially be coming to Switch very soon, as indicated by it receiving a number of different ratings through PEGI’s official site. Beyond just a rating for the main game of Borderlands 3, there are also individual ratings for all of its DLC content, including its Director’s Cut, Designer’s Cut, and Moxxi’s Heist of the Handsome Jackpot.

Borderlands 3 originally released in 2019, appearing on most modern platforms at the time. Given that all three previous main Borderlands titles as well as both Tales from the Borderlands games have all appeared on Switch, it’s not too surprising that Borderlands 3 might eventually make its way to the system in some form.
