Four decades of 1-1.

Five years ago, Nintendo made an appropriately big thing of Super Mario Bros.‘ 35th anniversary, with a bespoke Direct broadcast featuring a bunch of new games and, naturally, merch celebrating the Famicom release of video gaming’s most famous platformer on 13th September 1985.

Half a decade on and the 40th anniversary is just over a month away. With Switch 2 out in the wild and a Mario platformer-shaped gap in Nintendo’s announced lineup, it feels natural that there would be similar celebrations planned for this year. Super Mario Bros. 35 40, anyone?

Heads will roll.

To return to Ninja Gaiden’s 2D roots in 2025 is a wonderful thing. Dotemu, upon acquiring the license for a series reboot, approached Spanish indie developer The Game Kitchen to get the job done. Known for their remarkable Blasphemous titles, the project was overseen by Team Ninja, who have held the series mantle from 2004 to present. And, while Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is not strictly the Ninja Gaiden one recalls from its NES days, the task here has been carried off with all the panache modern technology can afford, resulting in a blisteringly gorgeous action-platformer.

For those old enough, Ninja Gaiden was once a formidable 8-Bit challenge that either destroyed a child’s willpower or forged them eternal gaming mastery. It was, and still is, brutally hard. While Ragebound echoes this, in that it gets seriously challenging after its first third, its format is far less aggressive. You don’t have lives, you have checkpoints, and respawns come in an infinite flavour. You don’t have entirely linear progression, but a world map where you can return to any substage to earn higher ranks, complete mini challenges, or recover Golden Scarabs. If you’re not well equipped and your reflexes suck, however, the Pirate Stage boss will have you spitting teeth.

And it’s still releasing this year, according to Nintendo!

We are all pretty excited for Metroid Prime 4‘s arrival at this stage, we think you’ll agree. In fact, apart from the ever-elusive Silksong, we can’t think of another game that’s got us biting on our furniture as we wait for further information about when we can actually play the bleddy thing again, as we loved it so much first time around. Deep breaths.

Now though, Nintendo has just gone and casually announced that lucky gamers who happen to be attending Fan Expo Canada at the end August, will be able to get a hands-on and play the game. They’ve also, just casually mind, reconfirmed that Samus’ latest outing will see a release in the year of our lord 2025. Which is the same year that we are currently in. Hooray for that!

Mario’s miniature marvels.

There’s a lot of fun to be had in smashing the place to tiny little voxel pieces in Donkey Kong Bananza, it’s easily its biggest draw. People have been into the sweet catharsis of wanton destruction since way back before there were even people. Probably.

However, the one thing that’s caught my attention most whilst playing thus far – and I must admit, I’m only around about halfway through the campaign at this point – is the game’s absolutely beautiful world map design. I love it.
