21.6.2023
Mario is back in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, but longtime fans don’t think the Italian plumber sounds like his old self. They’re now listening to a one-second clip of Mario saying “Wonder” over and over again to try and decipher if it still sounds like longtime series voice actor Charles...
Looks Like Mario Kart 8 Secretly Buffed Its Weaker Characters In Latest Update
10.3.2023
There’s a common wisdom in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Lighter characters handle better, but they can’t reach the top speeds seen from some of the heavier competitors. It’s a trade-off that keeps most of the characters relevant in Mario Kart meta. Now that everyone has had plenty of time to “git gud,”...

This Game Where You Pee On Everything Is Hilarious
15.11.2022

Mario Strikers Fans Love Shy Guy’s New Existential Crises
26.7.2022
Fact: The characters in Mario Strikers: Battle League are enormous babies. Score a goal on Wario and he’ll turn bright red, steam pouring out of his ears. Yoshi will drop to the ground and wail. Don’t even get me started on Peach’s behavior. Honestly, the only roster member with a lick...
I’m Going To Play The Heck Out Of Mario Strikers: Battle League
10.6.2022
Wario is a cheater. Sure, that’s part of his notorious personality, but in Mario Strikers: Battle League, he literally picks up the ball (with his hands!) and hurls it toward the goal. I won’t profess to be some sort of expert in soccer. I am, however, pretty certain that’s a violation of every...

Nintendo released a demo today for its upcoming soccer game, Mario Strikers: Battle League. How does it play? Is it a worthy follow-up to the older games? Is it fun? These are questions for which I don’t have answers. What I can tell you is that in this latest game Waluigi retains his crown as...

Nintendo Won't Put Waluigi In Smash, But This AI Was Happy To
7.10.2021
Earlier this week, Nintendo revealed that Kingdom Hearts protagonist Sora, not Waluigi, will be the final character to join the expansive Super Smash Bros. Ultimate roster. As someone who unironically loves the lanky, purple doofus, I was devastated by Sakurai’s indifference. So devastated,...
