September 9: San-ei Boeki is set to launch not one, but two new Super Mario Bros. Wonder plushies – including a special Talking Flower version. Both are releasing in Japan this November.
Talking Flower and Wonder Flower plushies will be made available, the manufacture revealed on social media. The first one is probably the more notable of the two, as it actually talks – as is the case in the actual game. When you press on it, audio will play. English and Japanese are both supported.

Going forward, we’ll be using this post to keep track of Switch physical release reprint / restock updates at VGP. Note that while the retailer is based in Canada, shipping is available in various regions including the United States and the UK. Also, keep in mind that some restocks sell out quickly so you may want to make a move sooner rather than later if you’re interested in a particular game.
No More Heroes creator Suda51 doesn’t appear to be a big fan of Metacritic, believing it receives too much attention and can lead to some developers intentionally making a game in a formulaic way to receive high marks.
Metacritic is a known entity within the gaming sphere – and in other industries. The site aggregates reviews from various outlets to put one particular score on a release. Getting a low Metacritic score can sink a game while a very high one can lead to a great deal of buzz.
