Party of one.
The LEGO Animal Crossing sets bring Animal Crossing: New Horizons to life in plastic brick form, featuring minifigures of some of the series’ most beloved characters at home and around their island.
The first wave of sets launched in March 2024, with Julian’s Birthday Party among them. This is the cheapest set in the range (at launch), and will therefore be an attractive option for Animal Crossing fans looking to dip their toe into this Lego pool without shelling out $180 to buy the lot.

Hunted (ranked) by you.
Update: Capcom’s Monster Hunter series is celebrating its 20th anniversary on 11th March 2024. And to celebrate, we’ve decided to overhaul our Best Monster Hunter Game list into a reader-ranked format. That means you can influence the ranking!
Not only that, we’ve also changed the list to focus on Nintendo-only releases. That means no more World and OG PS2 entry — simply the finest Monster Hunters on Nintendo consoles.

After a brief MAR10 Day update, we now know that Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD will be bringing the scares to Switch on 27th June. What’s more, we also now know what to expect from the game’s box art.
Yep, Nintendo has revealed a first look at the cover for the upcoming game and anyone who played the original Luigi’s Mansion 2 (or ‘Dark Moon‘ for those in North America) will find very few surprises here.

“I almost put a reference in there…”.
We were lucky enough to play a lot of great games at Summer Games Fest 2023, but perhaps the biggest surprise was Little Kitty, Big City, an exploration-focused adventure from Double Dagger Studio where you play as a cat on its journey home.
From our hands-on preview, the game really dug its claws in and we’d be kitten ourselves if we said that weren’t excited to see it pounce onto Switch later this year.

Lovely stuff.
Following the sad passing of Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama at the age of 68, tributes have been pouring in left, right, and centre from numerous notable figures in the entertainment industry and beyond.
One such tribute that caught our eye was a beautiful crossover drawing from none other than Yasushi Yamaguchi (more commonly credited as Judy Totoya), the original creator behind Sonic the Hedgehog’s enduring sidekick, Miles ‘Tails’ Prower (thanks for the tip, ‘Coolmusic’).

Addressing the other elephant in the room.
Today is MAR10 Day (MARch 10th, get it??), so it’s no surprise that we are once again thinking about Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the first new 2D Mario game in 11 years.
Wonder flipped the script on 2D Mario. The ‘New’ series had lasted for a whopping 17 years and the visuals and level design were very much in need of a refresh. Wonder did just that, but the question is, should it happen again?

It’s a MAR10 Day special.
Welcome back to another clash of the covers in this week’s Box Art Brawl!
Before we meet today’s contenders, let’s take a look at what happened last time when we matched up three regional covers for Ninja Gaiden Shadow (or Shadow Warriors for those in Europe and Australia). Despite there being three options, it wasn’t a close call. North America walked away with the win, taking 67% of the vote, while Japan and Europe picked up 7% and 27% respectively.
