As you know, the original version of Mario Kart 8 did something interesting with its DLC. Namely, it started adding characters and tracks based on other Nintendo games, with the likes of Link and Villager as playable characters, and tracks like Hyrule Circuit and Mute City as race courses. It was a neat idea (even if it took away from the Mario aspect of the series), and led to some really...

As you know, Pokemon content was pretty much non existent in the previous Nintendo Direct. Oh sure, we got news of Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games on Nintendo Switch Online, and there was the potential of then appearing on those services in future… But actual Pokemon content was nowhere to be seen. There were no updates on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet or its DLC, no info about older games coming...

Ah, video game leaks. Nintendo seems to be cursed with them, don’t they? With every Pokemon game leaking online months in advance, every Mario and Zelda game getting datamined on day 1 and things like accidentally publicised videos spoiling movies, it’s clear the company can’t go three days without something of theirs being leaked onto the internet. And that only continues with the latest one. Why?

After all, Mario Kart Tour had some incredible characters, like Pauline, Kamek, Funky Kong and Petey Piranha, while Mario Kart 8’s own roster was in many ways rather lacking. And with the Booster Course Pass’ role being to preserve Tour’s content...

Well, as it turns out, the answer is the second of those two choices. Why? Because in the Nintendo Direct...

That’s right Minecraft fans, after years of begging Mojang to end our artistic suffering, they’ve finally added the ability to choose between individual paintings BEFORE placing them down, eliminating the repeated trial-and-error method we were using before!

Damn, it’s been a rough time for E3, hasn’t it? Indeed, with two events cancelled due to Covid and a major data leak causing a huge uproar, the whole thing has been one fiasco after another in the last few years, with many people wondering whether the event is even needed in this modern day gaming climate.
