Rugrats is one of those cartoons that seems to get better with age. As a child I enjoyed watching the adventures of the babies as they transformed the everyday into something new and exciting, and as an adult I can appreciate the dry humor and now very relatable struggles of their adult parents. Although they have featured prominently in Nickelodeon titles, it has been some time since the Rugrats have had a game to themselves. Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland, their first solo outing for many years, feels like a platformer taken straight out of the era when they were at their most popular, for better and for worse.

Funko Fusion Colonel Sanders

Another “franchise” has been confirmed for Funko Fusion, and it’s a bit of an unexpected one with Colonel Sanders from KFC joining the game.

Players will be able to bring Colonel Sanders to recognizable worlds and cameo levels inspired by Jurassic World, Back to the Future, JAWS, Battlestar Galactica, The Thing, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and more. His famous white suit is included, but there are also alternate outfits such as Mecha Colonel Sanders or Chef Colonel Sanders, only available for KFC Rewards Members.

I like it when Nintendo gets weird. It’s usually at about this point in their consoles’ lifespans, well after they’ve sold roughly a bajillion Mario and Zelda titles, when we see them start to resurrect dormant franchises and experiment in genres that other platform holders are ignoring. So, here we are – it’s 2024, and Nintendo decided now is the perfect time to release a new entry in in the Famicom Detective Club series of visual novels, which hasn’t seen a new entry in 27 years. Emio – The Smiling Man has some compelling ideas driving its core mystery about a serial killer with an unsettling modus operandi, and initially, it had hooked. Unfortunately, this story’s lethargic pacing, tedious writing, and general lack of meaningful character development fails to live up to the high bar set by earlier entries in the series.

Nintendo’s latest maintenance schedule for the week of September 8, 2024 is now available.

Switch will be affected, but also 3DS and Wii U. All told there are currently three sessions on the docket.

Below is the full Nintendo maintenance schedule for the week of September 8, 2024:
