Super Mario Party River Survival

The Mario Party series is set to return later this year with the Switch-exclusive Super Mario Party, and now Nintendo has revealed a new mode for the game. The new mode is called River Survival, and they showed it off at Gamescom 2018.

River Survival is a four-player co-op game where players are tasked with rafting downstream while avoiding obstacles and completing mini-games. The mode was revealed in a new video, which you can check out at the bottom of this post. Basically, players will be trying to hit the balloons that are sprinkled throughout the river, which will then initiate new mini-games.

The mode is timed, so you’ll want to avoid the hazards and complete the mini-games as fast as possible in order to complete it in time. It sounds like it will be an interesting new mode for the series, considering that it is essentially a mini-game with many other mini-games inside of it.

Super Mario Party will launch exclusively for Switch on October 5th. Be sure to check out the video showing off the new mode below.

Saber Interactive, which acquired New World in 2020, told Eurogamer that the studio had not closed. However, it confirmed an unknown number of layoffs.

Embracer says it is “actively working to fill existing open roles” with impacted employees and will provide severance packages. “Saber also assures that development will continue on Insurgency: Sandstorm, as well as on unannounced future projects,” it said.

Over 900 employees were laid off in an “agonizing” but “necessary” process. As always, we hope all victims recover.

Sony wants non-console owners to access its content beyond its PlayStation-walled garden. This strategy has been slowly implemented: the company has commissioned TV and movie adaptations of its biggest franchises, ported select software to the PC, and launched a mobile gaming division.

In an interview with Nikkei, head Hideaki Nishino explained how this strategy can boost console sales: We want to use movies and dramas to get non-gamers to try PlayStation games. Sales of The Last of Us increased during the live-action drama.

When HBO’s adaptation aired, our The Last of Us content skyrocketed, so we can understand its impact. As a PlayStation fan site, we support this strategy because we want to reach as many people as possible, so if Sony can appeal to non-console owners, that’s a win-win.

More PlayStation users is better, in our opinion.

PowerWash Simulator is one of this month’s PS Plus Essentials, but before you start scrubbing, check out the PS Store. The game has been well supported on PS5 and PS4 with free DLC packs based on Square Enix titles since its release at the start of the year.

Free Final Fantasy VII and Tomb Raider expansions let you clean Croft Manor and Seventh Heaven. The free DLC packs add 10 levels, and the paid ones add more.

Two more Back to the Future and SpongeBob SquarePants expansions cost £6.49 or $7.99 each. You can then scrub the Bikini Bottom and the DeLorean.

The Midgar Special Pack for PowerWash Simulator was another reason to use the cleaning kit. “It doesn’t add much, but getting close to FF7’s props and environments is fun. It offers a fresh take on the beloved title that will please both sides of this collaboration.”
