Dragon Quest and LEGO Horizon debut even further down.
After missing key data last week, GfK has finally provided an updated look at the UK charts so we can get an idea of where all the newbies have landed.
For Nintendo’s latest, that’s a little way down. The latest look informs us that Mario & Luigi: Brothership got off to a good start last week (not that we saw it) and arrived in third, but the same can’t be said for its second appearance as the Bro-led RPG has wound up in 12th this week.

With help from rapper ‘Substantial’.
If you’ve been a part of the Nintendo gaming community for a while, then chances are you’re well acquainted with ‘DK Rap’, the charming introductory theme tune seen in 1999’s Donkey Kong 64. It’s gained significant notoriety and love over the years, though many fans do concede that the song isn’t actually that good.
Well, it’s good now, folks. Almost 25 years after its debut, DK Rap has been remade, courtesy of original composer Grant Kirkhope and rapper Substantial, bringing it fully up to date, albeit with one eye firmly on the past. Indeed, one commenter on the YouTube video said it had been given the ‘3rd Strike’ treatment, and we have to agree with this assessment.

Ninjas in 3… 2… 1…
Earlier this year, the Switch emulator Yuzu was shut down after being caught in the fiery gaze of the great eye of Nintendo. A follow-up based on the same source code, Suyu, appeared shortly after, though it unsurprisingly met the same fate. Now, over eight months on, there’s another new kid on the block (thanks, Overkill).
Citron is the latest Yuzu fork, now available in early access on Android. According to AndroidAuthority.com, the Switch emulator is much the same as its predecessor, with a couple of “minor upgrades and optimisations” to keep things slightly distinct.

Alongside a whole slate of events.

The black-coloured Rayquaza will be available in Scarlet & Violet from 20th December 2024 to 5th January 2025, but you’ll have to take it down and capture it in a 5-Star Tera Raid Battle. That’s not before a whole slew of events taking place in Paldea, Kitakami, and the Blueberry Academy, however.

With a physical release coming next year.
Well, here’s a pleasant surprise for all the Life is Strange fans out there. After launching on PlayStation 5 last month, Square Enix has today announced that the series’ first proper sequel, Life is Strange: Double Exposure, will finally be landing on the Switch eShop on 19th November… wait, that’s tomorrow!
The news was revealed in a fresh animated trailer (above), which re-introduces us to the first game’s protagonist, Max Caulfield, and sets up the spooky goings-on that she’ll have to face this time.

You Twinsum, you lose some.
You may not have heard of Little Big Adventure, but if you have, it’s likely you remember it fondly. It popped up on PC in the last months of 1994, then found its way to PlayStation and other platforms. It didn’t shift millions, but it gained cult status for its unique atmosphere, inventive controls, and memorable story of a despot, a rebellion, and a chosen one. Understanding Twinsen’s Quest really means understanding its origins, so it’s worth a recap.
Little Big Adventure was the first game from French studio Adeline Software, followed a few years later by a sequel. Developer has brought back some of the original team for this remake — including composer Philippe Vachey, revisiting a memorable theme tune — as well as new creatives drawn from the LBA fan community. Designer Didier Chanfray has said that the Little Big Adventure series was always intended to be a trilogy: now the goal is to remake both of the original games in a modern style, before finally completing the set. Exciting stuff for long-time fans.

Black Friday is (almost) here, and My Nintendo Store UK is already getting into the savings spirit with a host of tasty discounts across a range of LEGO sets.
Naturally, the one that caught our eye first and foremost was the LEGO Legend of Zelda Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set, which has been cut down from £259.99 to £181.99 — okay, it’s still a little eye-watering, but at least it’s slightly easier to stomach.
