Ready… FIGHT.
Hi folks, welcome back to another edition of Box Art Brawl!
Last week, we took a look at the wonderful Mario & Luigi: Super Star Saga + Bowser’s Minions for the Nintendo 3DS. North America and Japan joined forces against Europe, but their combined might simply wasn’t enough to bag the win. Europe easily took the crown with a whopping 83% of the vote thanks to its busier, more interesting composition.

As well as other classic IP revivals in the future.
Sonic the Hedgehog is arguably doing better than ever after his second movie release, the successful launch of Sonic Frontiers and the new multiplayer platformer Sonic Superstars – due out on the Switch and multiple other platforms later this year.
Beyond this, it seems all sorts of “reboots and remakes” could be on the cards. Speaking to Famitsu, Sega president and CCO Yukio Sugino mentioned how Sonic and even other classic Sega IP could potentially see full-blown “reboots and remakes” in the future (translated by DualShockers).

Here’s what’s been updated.
Earlier this week, Nintendo launched the Wave 5 DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch. The patch notes referenced “improved performance of some characters and vehicle customizations” and it’s now been revealed what has specifically been adjusted.
This is all thanks to the Japanese website Mario Kart Blog (via Meester_Tweester on the Mario Kart subreddit). This includes increases to certain characters mini-turbo, and all sorts of other increases and decreases to other racer stats.

To me, that’s Olimar.
The year was 2014 and Nintendo was in one of the worst financial pickles that the company had ever seen thanks to the poor sales of the Wii U. You might think that this was no time for joviality, but this is Nintendo that we are talking about, and Miyamoto had other ideas.
Taking his favourite child, Pikmin, the legendary game designer announced that he was working on a series of short films that would help to promote the series’ third entry, Pikmin 3, which had released the year prior. It was a move that wouldn’t have made it onto many-a Nintendo fan’s bingo card, but the results were, to put it simply, wonderful.

Video games would not be where they would be today without this little white and red unit.
