Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Depths design

A recent interview with Famitsu reveals that the Depths for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom “were made in a surprisingly short period of time.”

That comes from director Hidemaro Fujibayashi. The initial area’s development came together quickly, though he did acknowledge that “it took a long time and many adjustments for it to take its present shape”. 

When the final wave of Booster Course Pass DLC drops this holiday, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will finally stop adding more tracks. Thinking about the amount of content the game has, it’s kind of insane. Between the main release and DLC, players can race on nearly 100 courses.

Previous datamines have given hints as to which other tracks will make up the final wave of the Booster Course Pass. But potential leaks aside, what’s the one Mario Kart course we’ve yet to see in the game that you’d like to be be added? Let us know in the comments below.

Super Mario Bros Wonder character art

Original (6/24): Nintendo has posted new character art for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, showcasing Mario himself as well as Daisy and other aspects highlighted in the first trailer.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder will have several playable characters, including Daisy. Another new aspect shown off for the side-scrolling platformer is the series’ newest power-up, which lets Mario transform into Elephant Mario – that’s one of the new art pieces as well. Something else that’s different is the Wonder Flower that flips the game on its head – pipes could come alive, hordes of enemies may appear, characters might change their looks, and more.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy physical

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy marks another Capcom release that won’t have a physical release in the west, but it will be sold at retail in Japan. Additionally, English support has been confirmed on the cartridge.

With Switch being a region-free console, anyone can import Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy and play through all of the games in the collection. Aside from English and Japanese, it will also include French, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.

Fresh Start review

System: Switch
Release date: September 14, 2023
Developer: Awaken Realms
Publisher: Merge Games


Growing up, I never really believed that cleaning up could be a game. That was just a painfully transparent lie that my parents (no doubt inspired by Mary Poppins) told me in some effort to get me to tidy up, even knowing as I did that it was only going to get messed up again within five minutes. But as I grew older I learned that there was something very satisfying and rewarding about accomplishing a simple task, and Merge Games’ latest title, Fresh Start, aims to capitalize on that feeling through its cozy and relaxing gameplay. While it succeeds admirably on that front, it could have used a little more cleaning and polishing before it was brought over to the Switch, and the end result is a muddied experience that is tough to recommend.

Via Microids and Virtuallyz Gaming, we have a launch trailer for Operation Wolf Returns: First Mission. The remake of the 1987 Taito arcade title dropped on Switch this week.

Learn more about it in the following overview:

Rocket Panda Games has announced that Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate, a remastered version of the side-scrolling beat ’em up, will be coming to Switch next year. No exact release date was announced. The game has been rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, and will feature enhanced visuals and new features.
