Mario Kart World Free Roam improvements

Today, we’re going over some improvements Nintendo could implement to further improve Mario Kart World’s Free Roam mode.

During the marketing campaign that led up to its release, Free Roam was Mario Kart World’s big selling point. At the time, we didn’t know how many secrets it would hold – in fact, we didn’t know much about it at all other than the presence of numerous P-Switch missions. In the end, it turns out Mario Kart World’s Free Roam mode only has P-Switches, ? Block Panels, and Peach Medallions that offer exclusive stickers as rewards. Though I personally am a fan of Free Roam’s relaxed, slow-paced nature, it’s clear that it isn’t exactly what every Mario Kart fan was looking for. Uncovering the open world’s many hundreds of collectibles is fun and satisfying, but there are a number of improvements Nintendo could have made to make Free Roam feel more substantial.

Pokemon Scarlet Violet Flutter Mane distribution Japan Championships

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have been pretty active with distributions lately, and now fans can claim a special Flutter Mane as part of the Japan Championships. However, it will only be active for a limited time.

This Flutter Mane, which was used by Hyuma Hara to win the 2024 Japan Championships, is of the Fairy Tera Type with Booster Energy as its held item. The creature can use Moonblast, Icy Wind, Trick Room, and Taunt for its moves.

Shuten Order protagonist

One more Shuten Order character has been uploaded, and today, we’ve got a look at protagonist Rei Shimobe. Mitsuki Saiga is handling the voice.

A bit of information about the character can be found in the following rundown:

Yakuza 0 Director's Cut review

System: Switch 2
Release date: June 5, 2025
Developer: RGG Studio
Publisher: SEGA

In the very recent past, it looked like there was no future for Yakuza/Like A Dragon games on Nintendo hardware. After the poor sales of the Japan-exclusive Yakuza 1&2 HD Edition collection on Wii U, then RGG Studio head and series creator Toshihiro Nagoshi decreed that the series had no market with Nintendo fans and weren’t going to release their games on those systems. This remained the case for a long time, until a massive staff reconstruction in 2021, when Nagoshi and other notable developers left the team. New studio leader Masayoshi Yokoyama decided to test Nintendo Switch waters October last year with a release of the Yakuza 1 remake title, Yakuza Kiwami. To RGG Studio’s and SEGA’s surprise, the game sold tremendously well and less than a year later one of the most acclaimed titles in the series has a new edition for Nintendo Switch 2’s launch: Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut.

Novel Rogue

Kemco, in partnership with Exe Create, has announced a Nintendo Switch version of Novel Rogue. The game launches in early July.

Novel Rogue is a card deck-building roguelite JRPG. Players will explore four books in the Ancient Library, each offering its own original world.
