Ahead of its release next week, Famitsu published one of the first reviews for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury in its latest issue. Four reviewers gave out scores of “9”, “9”, “8”, and “10” for a total of 36 points. The Wii U original earned 38 points, but 36 is nothing to snuff at, and keep in mind that different writers were involved.
In any case, we’ve gone ahead and translated the entire Famitsu review. You can find it in full below.
[Let’s Talk] Dormant Nintendo franchises you’d like to see make a return
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
When you think about gaming franchises, Nintendo has some of the most recognizable IPs around. Mario is right at the top, but there’s also Pokemon, Zelda, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Splatoon, and many more. There’s even Animal Crossing, which was already fairly popular in the past, but has really taken off with New Horizons on Switch.
Despite how many series Nintendo has at its disposal, not everything is around today. There have some IPs that haven’t been touched in years, or even decades.
With that in mind, we want to hear from you. Is there a dormant Nintendo franchise you’d like to see make a comeback? Let us know in the comments below – your response may be featured in a future Nintendo Everything video!

[Review] Haven
Posted on 3 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 4, 2021
Developer: The Game Bakers
Publisher: The Game Bakers
Playing Haven, a game about two lovers surviving in space together, often feels like dancing. Whether the game’s protagonists are careening across floating islands, fighting corrupted wildlife or engaging each other in conversation, almost every component of Haven’s gameplay has a rhythm to it that makes the experience feel like a spectacle. While it suffers from occasionally tedious systems and a bloated structure, Haven’s focused story, striking presentation, and innovative combat make it of the most unique third-person games I’ve played recently – despite some technical issues.
