Twelve Minutes

The interactive thriller Twelve Minutes is making the jump to Switch, publisher Annapurna Interactive and developer
Luis Antonio have confirmed. Look for it on December 7.

Twelve Minutes, a real-time top-down game with an accessible click and drag interface, features actors James McAvoy, Daisy Ridley, and Willem Dafoe. The game “blends the dream-like tension of The Shining with the claustrophobia of Rear Window and the fragmented structure of Memento.”

Chris Pratt Mario

Chris Meledandri, the co-producer of the upcoming Super Mario movie and boss of Illumination, has commented on the decision to cast Chris Pratt.

Some were surprised by the casting choices when the news was shared in September. Pratt landed the leading role as Mario himself. According to Meledandri, the actor’s voice in the film is “phenomenal”.

Nintendo Activision Blizzard

Last week, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser issued an internal email to all levels of the company – including development partners such as Retro Studios and Next Level Games – regarding reports and controversies that have emerged pertaining to Activision Blizzard.

A lot has been coming through over the past few months regarding Activision Blizzard’s poor handling of its employees, particularly when it comes to sexual misconduct in the workplace. It all cumulated last week following a report from The Wall Street Journal. In its article, the publication wrote about Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick, who was aware of sexual harassment and misconduct that had been taking place within the company, intervened to protect abusers, and apparently even dished out his own abuse.
