new mario voice actor

Original: The new Mario voice actor in Super Mario Bros. Wonder may have been discovered stemming from a new datamine. Nintendo said players would be able to find out who’s taken on the role from Charles Martinet when the game launches, but we seemingly won’t need to wait another week.

The game itself isn’t out yet, so you might be curious as to how a datamine could already exist. As it turns out, someone has managed to get their hands on the demo that recently popped up in stores across the country.

Original (10/11): A big update for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 has been announced for imminent release, and even more DLC is confirmed to be dropping in 2024. This comes as the game celebrates its seventh anniversary this year.

The new Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 update is planned for October 12. It will include the Festival of Universes event, “Cross Versus” Battle Mode, Awoken Skill Ultra Instinct, Avatar Level Cap Unlock, and feature improvements.

Desolatium release date

Original (9/7): A final release date has dropped for Desolatium, an upcoming point-and-click graphic adventure. SOEDESCO and Superlumen say it will launch for Switch on October 27, 2023.

Mortal Kombat 1 Switch update

Mortal Kombat 1 just went live with its first Switch update, and it comes with a number of improvements. Full patch notes are now available.

Much has been made of the Switch version of the fighter.

Today’s patch comes with visual improvements, performance improvements, and loading time improvements. On top of that, Invasions Season 1, balance changes, and more are here.

2D Mario future Wonder

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is a big milestone for a number of reasons. For one thing, it’s the first side-scrolling entry in the series in over a decade. And after four New Super Mario Bros. titles, Nintendo is finally going in a new direction.

Game Informer recently asked Super Mario Bros. Wonder producer Takashi Tezuka about the future, though he was noncommittal on the game leading to more releases like it in the future similar to what we saw from New Super Mario Bros. At the same time, he mentioned how it’s “a new phase”.
