Super Mario Maker

Super Mario Maker is going to include pretty much all the more recognizable elements of the Super Mario universe such as enemies like Goombas and Koopas, the Mushroom and Fire Flower power-ups and much more. One of these elements has been showcased today by a new trailer shared by Nintendo on its official Japanese YouTube channel.

The new Super Mario Maker trailer shared today focuses on pipes, showing what players can do with them when creating stages. As in all Mario games, pipes can be used to access other parts of stages set underground, underwater and more. You can check out the new trailer right below.

Super Mario Maker is going to feature four different game styles based on the original Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros. U. The four game styles not only come with different graphics but also with slightly different mechanics, including exclusive power ups and elements only found in the respective games. A trailer released last week showcased these different game styles.

Super Mario Maker is going to come with amiibo functionality. Players will be able to unlock a variety of costumes with the corresponding figure. Unlike other amiibo content, these Super Mario Maker costumes can also be unlocked without the corresponding figure so there’s no need to hunt down a specific figure for its corresponding costume. The Super Mario Maker amiibo functionality was showcased in yet another trailer released recently so check it out if you want to learn what you can do with amiibo figures in Super Mario Maker.

Super Mario Maker will be released on September 11th in North America, Europe and Japan exclusively on Nintendo Wii U. More trailers on the game will surely be shared soon so stay tuned for all the latest news on the upcoming Nintendo exclusive title.

The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
