Greetings!
Wowie zowie! Wrong Mario game, we know, but there’s been quite a deluge of Mario & Luigi: Brothership details over the last 24 hours. After last night’s new screenshots, Nintendo has dropped a brief but delightful new trailer for the upcoming RPG.
Titled ‘Greetings from Concordia’ — a slightly unfortunate name (and timing) given some extremely fresh Playstation game news — the new trailer gives us a look at the brand new world, that Mario and Luigi will be exploring.

“Failing is part of what makes this game fun”.
The Game Kitchen has been cookin’ good. With Blasphemous and Blasphemous 2, the Spanish developer quickly gained a stellar reputation thanks to some of the best Metroidvanias to emerge in recent years. Their prickly difficulty, moody gothic vibes, and disconcerting take on Andalucian Catholic folklore didn’t stop us from adoring both of The Penitent One’s challenging misadventures in Cvstodia.
With recently announced RTS stealth title The Stone of Madness, we’re set for a surprising change of pace if our recent Gamescom preview is anything to go by. Blasphemous’ high-stakes 2D combat is replaced by methodical exploration of a hand-painted monastery asylum that affords as much experimentation as its watchful guards will allow over the days, or even weeks, leading up to your freedom.

“you’ll always get their honest reactions”.
Here’s your wholesome story of the day, folks. According to Masahiro Sakurai’s latest YouTube video, the creator used to invite fellow developers’ children to the office to play test upcoming games.
Describing children as “the purest of the pure”, Sakurai states that allowing them to play a game that’s still in development would yield honest feedback that can help drive the team forward. Rather than asking the children directly on what they thought of the game, Sakurai would merely observe their bahaviour from a distance, making note of anything they happened to struggle with, along with moments that provided joy.

A wild Kickstarter appeared!
We’ve seen all kinds of Pokémon-likes over the years from monster-catching visual novels to roguelikes. But a musical comedy? Like, an actual on-stage musical comedy? That’s new.
Curtain up on Balls: The Monster-Catchin’ Musical Comédy, more specifically on its Kickstarter page, where it is a little over halfway to reaching its $30,000 goal with 23 days to go (ending on 26th September).

“The guilty will always lie to avoid being found out”.
Among Us continues to stack up the crossovers, and in a week’s time, we think one of the funniest ones yet will be dropping in the game for free.
On 9th September, the little space beans will be able to dress up as Miles Edgeworth, our favourite prosecutor from Ace Attorney. The outfit is as daft as you’d imagine, with the character’s signature grey bangs, red suit, and jabot.

A score to die for?
Have you spent your weekend solving the mystery of Emio? Well, if you have, then we want to know what you think of the brand new Famicom Detective Club title, Emio -The Smiling Man.
No one expected a sequel 30+ years after the original, but then again, no one expected the 2021 remakes. We love it when Nintendo gets unpredictable. The marketing alone for Emio: The Smiling Man deserves a gold star. And, amazingly, the game was only announced weeks ago, and we’re already sitting here playing it!

“intentionally disrupting game progress” is a big no-no.
Nintendo has updated its Game Content Guidelines for Online Video & Image Sharing Platforms. The tweaks are generally quite small, though there are a couple of noteworthy additions including a new stance on fair game in multiplayer modes and an additional warning against breaking any of the guidelines (thanks, @OatmealDome).
Let’s start with the note on multiplayer modes. Nintendo has added to the FAQ section, “What do you mean by content that is ‘unlawful, infringing, or inappropriate’?”, to now include “actions that may be considered to impair the gameplay experience in multiplayer modes, such as intentionally disrupting game progress”.
