Mortal Kombat 1 is out in the wild following its early access release, and so fans finally have a chance to check out the visuals of the Nintendo Switch version. Unfortunately, early impressions are negative, so much so that NetherRealm’s fighting game is already approaching meme status.
Mario Fans Are Scared Elephant Mario Is Crushing Yoshi
31.08.2023 - 15:23 / thegamer.com / Mario
In the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct, we got a glimpse at a whole bunch of elephant-ified characters. Daisy, Peach, Luigi, and even Toad are putting on their trunks and crushing everything in their path. Then there's Yoshi.
Poor, poor Yoshi. We didn't see an elephant version of our favourite green friend, but we did see Elephant Mario jump on their back and proceed to crush it under his weight like Bane cracking Batman's spine over his knee.

"If Mario's Final Smash in the next Smash Bros. game isn't turning into an elephant and shattering his opponent's spine like Yoshi#s here, then Sakurai has completely failed as a game director," @IntroSpecktive tweeted.
"The Yoshi's should unionise," @PlaystationBrah said. "Bossy bottoms and sub tops... The eternal struggle as depicted here in Super Mario Bros. Wonder," @ShinobiPhoenix said. "Starscourge Radahn," BriHardGaming said, referencing the Elden Ring boss who uses gravity magic so that his horse doesn't buckle under his enormous size. Maybe Mario used some of that wizardry.
It's not the first time a 2D Mario game has tortured Yoshi for the Italian plumber's gain. World had several jumps over deep, bottomless chasms where you could drop Yoshi to reach higher heights, sending your green friend to death just to complete a level. Mario might've saved Princess Peach god-knows-how-many times, but he'll never wash the blood of all those Yoshi's off his hands.
Granted, this time, Yoshi isn't being hurled into an abyss (as far as we know) just to make jumps easier, but he is suffering under the weight of a literal elephant three times his size. It ain't easy being Yoshi.
While many are worried about Yoshi's safety with Mario awkwardly forcing himself onto his back, others have zoomed into Yoshi's face to reveal not an expression of pain, but of seething disappointment. He's tired, fed up, exhausted after having been dragged into yet another adventure to play the role of Mario's steed.
Yoshi has been carrying this red-hatted destroyer of goombas and scourge of koopas since he was a baby, but Mario refuses to admit that maybe, just maybe, he's too big this time.
As tough as it might look and as painful as it might seem, others are pointing to it being more proof of Yoshi's superhuman strength. Bowser is lucky he's not the one storming his castle. Then again, Bowser doesn't have an elephant crushing his spine. Swings and roundabouts, eh?

Starfield Fans Are Confused About The Lack Of Cats And Dogs
Starfield is a pretty realistic depiction of what the world would look like should humanity ever venture out into space and leave Earth behind. It chooses to ignore some of the wackier elements of the sci-fi genre in favor of a NASA Punk aesthetic that has served it well. However, there's one part of Starfield that fans find a little bit unrealistic, and that the complete lack of cats and dogs across the entire Settled Systems.

Starfield Fans Are Robbing A Store With A Puddle Glitch
If you've been a fan of Bethesda games for a while, you'll more than likely be well aware of the Invisible Dawnstar Chest glitch from Skyrim. Over a decade ago, one lucky Skyrim player found a seemingly invisible chest packed to the brim with powerful and expensive items, tucked away inside of a random cliff in Dawnstar. This was actually a chest filled with a nearby merchant's inventory, but was accidentally placed too close to the surface, letting fans pilfer the contents of an entire shop without punishment.

Dying Light 2 Fans Are Frustrated Over New Premium Currency
Techland’s current offering right now is Dying Light 2 Stay Human, which launched back in 2022. The video game was a new zombie action RPG that saw some decent reviews from critics and fans alike. While it might not have had the most significant launch into the marketplace, it’s a game that will at least see plenty of support. We knew Techland would offer players up to five years of support upon its release. This support would mean more content being submitted for fans to log in and enjoy the game regularly. But the latest move made by Techland is proving to be an unfavorable one by fans.
