Super Mario 64 fans finally open the game’s ‘unopenable’ door, 28 years later

PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X have a lot of advantages over the Switch, but there’s one advantage Nintendo never loses: games. While Sony and Microsoft struggle to put out consistent exclusives, Nintendo always manages to put out fairly high-quality games on a monthly bases (even if some recent releases have felt like filler). The fact that you can only play Super Mario Odyssey on a Nintendo console will always be the company’s ace in the hole.

All these years later, players tempted to cheat the Happy Lucky Lottery in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door by changing their system's clock are still being met with an explosive end.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door just got a remake for Nintendo Switch, and while the response has been glowing (we scored it four out of five stars), fans aren't too happy that the chat log has been removed.

We're officially halfway through the week, and new deals have popped up at various retailers. If you know where to look, you can almost always find great deals and save some extra dollars on games, technology, and more.

Super Mario Makerand its sequel are terrific games that let fans create and share their own Mario levels with ease. But it was a bit of a disappointment that Nintendo only factored in the 2D Mario games. None of the plumber's 3D incarnations have made it to a Mario Maker title to date. So thank goodness for modders.

We might just be living in the ultimate golden age of portable gaming. There’s the Switch for Nintendo first party games and indies, the Steam Deck and its rivals for modern PC titles and, of course, a whole bunch of systems intended for retro gaming. Ayaneo has been one of the leaders of this retro resurgence and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. As a matter of fact, the company just announced a whole bunch of new products, including two incredibly cool-looking Game Boy-inspired consoles. As a note, the company has yet to release pricing or availability information for any of the following items.

There’s an apocryphal folktale that fans of Mario RPGs are fond of sharing. Somewhere along the line, the internet urban legend goes, someone at Nintendo — Miyamoto himself, maybe — had it out for Paper Mario. As a result, everything fans loved about the series — the RPG mechanics, the fun twists on classic Mario characters, the elaborate character-driven stories — became verboten.

Ah, Monster Hunter. It’s everybody’s favourite game series about hunting monsters, and then chopping off the useful bits to turn into even sharper and hardier stuff to hunt some more monsters. It’s a loop that’s been working for two decades, and we’re still not tired of it, or the spectacular menagerie of toothy antagonists. Monster Hunter Stories certainly has elements of the mainline series, but it’s safe to say that it’s a slightly different proposition.

Everyone loves a good Mario level. After all, since Nintendo first launched a Mario Bros. game in 1983, fans have worked tirelessly to complete them in all sorts of ways.
