After seemingly endless delays, the Star Wars: Hunters release date has at long last been confirmed! Best of all, it's launching soon.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door's long-awaited remake is only a little under a month away, which means Nintendo has started releasing more and more information about the title and what we can expect. Being a remake of a beloved and classic title, there are a lot of questions surrounding what Nintendo will keep or remove from the original.

As the only British baseball fan on Planet Earth, I had one simple mission when I first arrived in Taipei: to choose a local team to support. Taiwan is infatuated with America’s former favourite pastime, and it’s even dedicated a spot on its $1,000 note to a celebrating squad. After much deliberation, I settled on the Rakuten Monkeys for one rather simple, primitive reason: they’d just signed Korean cheerleader Lee Dahye.

@RogerRoger No problem. I played Avengers when it was on PS Now and then later picked up the PS5 version 2nd hand to finish off the story. It was ok. I liked the story arc of the main antagonist and protagonist, but the missions get quite repetitive late on in the game.

Given the reputation Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door continues to enjoy to this day, two decades on from its GameCube launch, the level of excitement surrounding the release of its upcoming Nintendo Switch remake isn’t surprising in the slightest. And as the RPG draws closer to launch, Nintendo is continuing to show more bits and pieces.

Helldivers 2 is an extremely popular game, far more than probably either Arrowhead or Sony hoped for. That said, it isn't perfect, and the developers are well aware of that.

Persona 3 Aigis: The First Mission is coming to Steam and the Nintendo Switch. However, this long-forgotten Persona 3 spin-off will not be treated to an official English localization.
