Original (10/13): Nintendo has announced that Splatoon 3 will be hosting a new 2023 Splatoween event, and it’ll be accompanied by a Splatfest.
It goes without saying, but the event comes in celebration of Halloween. Splatoween will be held between October 27 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET and October 29 at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET. Splatsville will be decorated for the occasion and there’ll be special costumes for Deep Cut. Plus, if you have the game’s Expansion Pass, the same will also go for Inkopolis Plaza and the Squid Sisters.

Reddit user Casting_Quarters managed to find the RPG at Walmart even though it won’t be out for another week.

With Super Mario RPG finally set to return with a Switch remake this year, we’ve started up a guide to round up every notable pre-order bonus for the game ahead of the holiday season.
Super Mario RPG has only ever appeared on the Virtual Console and SNES Slassic, but now Nintendo is giving the game a full overhaul. Obviously, the graphics have been reworked (and there are special cinematics as well). Additionally, the title’s original composer is back on board to update the music.
As for the actual game, players will be going on a quest to save Star Road and stop the troublemaking Smithy Gang. Mario, Bowser, and Peach are in for the ride as well as fan-favorite Geno and Mallo.

[Review] Sonic Superstars
Posted on 2 years ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 17, 2023
Developer: Arzest / SEGA
Publisher: SEGA
Few video game mascots are as instantly recognizable as Sonic the Hedgehog, and even fewer have had such a turbulent career. It often feels as though SEGA doesn’t quite know what it wants to do with the character, and as a result it’s difficult to know what to expect from each new title. Sonic Superstars is now the latest outing for the blue blur, and although it hearkens back to the beloved 2D Genesis games that kickstarted the franchise, there are several modern elements thrown in to shake up the gameplay, both for better and for worse.
