That’s pretty much all, folks.

Fans of old-school sports compilations may remember Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Sports Challenge on Super Nintendo. In it, you played as the titular animated youngsters, who competed in enjoyable cartoon versions of familiar events. SNES also had Looney Tunes B-Ball, a beautifully animated genre classic that put a colourful spin on the NBA Jam formula.

Bamtang Games hopes to bring back this forgotten subgenre with Looney Tunes: Wacky World Of Sports, a collection of four game types, pitting the original Warner Brothers animated line-up against each other in solo and multiplayer tournaments.

“Classic turn-based tactics”.

Following successful funding on Kickstarter, the turn-based tactical strategy game Warside has finally locked in a release date. It will launch for Switch and multiple other platforms on 28th January 2025.

In case you missed our existing coverage of this one, as you can see, it’s heavily inspired by a certain Nintendo series. The developer previously mentioned how it felt it could “evolve” the genre and was happy to cite not only Advance Wars but also series like Wargroove and Into The Breach as inspirations.

Strange things are afoot.

At first glance, Bloomtown: A Different Story looks like a charming addition to the world of slice-of-life RPGs, with its cosy pixel art style and comforting soundtrack.

It kicks off with two siblings, Emily and Chester, being sent to their grandad’s house for summer break in the 1960s. They’re frustrated about going, complaining that there’ll be nothing to do in sleepy Bloomtown and that they’d rather stay in Chicago. As soon as they start settling in, though, it becomes apparent that Bloomtown has a lot more to it than initially meets the eye.

As puzzling as ever.

It has been a while since we’ve seen Professor Layton and his protege Luke. For a while, the mind-bending puzzle series seemed like a Nintendo mainstay – at least on the DS and 3DS. The last game starred Katrielle Layton, the daughter of the titular Professor, and received rather mixed reviews when it came out for 3DS in 2017 and on Switch a couple of years later in Deluxe form.

This makes Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, releasing sometime in 2025, not only the first series entry for a while but also a return-to-the-roots adventure with the Professor himself back in the leading role, meaning we were especially looking forward to trying it out on the show floor at this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

“We have no intention of expanding”.

The Nintendo Museum looks amazing but it’s located in Japan and not everybody will be able to make the trip. So, is there a chance of Nintendo opening more museums outside of its homeland?

Well, as you can see in the headline, according to Miyamoto it won’t be happening. In a recent Game Watch interview, the Nintendo legend mentioned how the company had “no intention” of expanding the museum to other locations.
