Disney Speedstorm Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Disney Speedstorm will be appearing on Switch later this summer, but as a kart racer, it has fierce competition on the console as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has proven to be a juggernaut. That being said, the team at Gameloft believes there are enough differences between the games to make the Disney and Pixar racer stand out.

Gameloft Barcelona game manager Aska Suzuki spoke to us about a few aspects such as how there are four character classes in the game and everyone on the roster has specific power-ups. Of course, simply having Disney and Pixar representation is a straightforward but appealing aspect. Updates and season passes are also planned, so players can look forward to additional content to follow after launch with new racers and more.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Even though Kirby has been around for three decades, the series never really tried its hand at full-on 3D gameplay. That finally changed this year with the release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. By all accounts, the team really nailed it – but that doesn’t mean turning Kirby from 2D to 3D was a simple task.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land co-directors Shinya Kumazaki and Tatsuya Kamiyama reflected on the game’s development in a recent interview of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream. Designer Yuki Endo was present for the discussion as well.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC waves leak

A previous leak may give an idea about which platforms will be represented in future waves of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC.

Back in March, after the debut of the first wave, Twitter user Fishguy6564 posted a video showing cups with potential prefixes. It seemed to suggest that Nintendo had already decided on the full lineup of tracks the game would be adding from prior titles. We still don’t have complete confirmation, but this week’s announcement of the second wave gives credence to the original speculation.

Aksys Games has readied an English trailer for Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Burst Forth!! Choro-gon Breath. This shows off the shoot ’em up game in English.
