Super Mario Maker players have finally done it - they've beaten every single legitimate level uploaded to the original game before the servers shut down. The catch is that they already achieved victory last week, and they're only now able to celebrate the accomplishment after the creator of the last level standing came forward to reveal that it was a fake.

With this week's Cataclysm Beta build, Blizzard has added more optional assets to the client in the shape of upscale resolution textures for the game. These are not currently usable by players in the beta but are dataminable. While normal WoW textures are 64x64 pixels, these new uprezzed textures are 256x256 pixels, or 16 times more detailed. Below are a couple of examples. These textures represent an extra 30 gigabytes of storage space compared to the normal client. However, we datamined some strings in the first build that indicate that these will be optional, so most players likely won't need to download them if they aren't looking to use them. Remember that Blizzard still hasn't announced anything definitive about upscaled graphics, but there were talks at BlizzCon about them, so we may see them in Cataclysm.

While it works on a fix, it thanks players for their overwhelming support and feedback - even while the game falls to "Overwhelmingly Negative" reviews on Steam.

Star Wars fans will be happy to know that Star Wars Battlefront Classic Collection is now avaliable everywhere. The 2004 game is now avaliable to play on PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, and Playstation. However, this game has sadly been receiving some not-so-good reviews as of late since its release.
