Nintendo says that the Super Nintendo World Mario Kart ride is basically a game they can patch and update whenever they want

‘Because it’s in a game engine, we can keep updating, upgrading’ Super Nintendo World just shot up on a lot of bucket lists, and it’s going to be…a while before a lot of people can safely visit it. Thankfully Universal seems like it’s going to be in this partnership for the long haul, even recommitting to a delayed 2025 date for the US version. Still, it is open in Japan, and lots of folks are flocking to it....

Obscure Video Games: Oh No!

Paw-handed bulging bald boys are nothing to be negative about “Oh no!” is what I say whenever I hear somebody’s put out another runner game. I completely lost interest in the genre years ago. However, back in 2000, it was still a fairly novel concept. That’s when Asmik Ace Entertainment releasedOh No!for the original PlayStation in Japan. InOh No!you control a group of (literally) snot-nosed brats who are trying to get to the end of each stage without going hungry or getting killed....

Powers, Sony’s only original PlayStation show, canceled after Season 2

I blame the fookin prawns Brian Michael Bendis (one of the creators of thePowerscomic series and showrunner for the television show), took to Twitter to announce that thePowersTV series has been canceled. No reason was given and Bendis notes that he’ll share more “later,” but thanks fans for their support. Having watched it, I have thoughts. Sure, it was cheesy at times, but it had a pretty spot-on cast that worked within the confines of their budget....
