Defensive tweaks, new playbooks, more Limp Bizkit!
EA Sports has dropped a huge new update for the recently released Madden NFL 26. The September 17th patch introduces a large number of fixes, adjustments, and other bits and bobs to a game that does a very solid job of bringing the full Madden experience to handheld – so long as you can take the frame rate hit.
Focusing in on highlights here, this patch (which brings the game to version 1.7) brings defensive adjustments in the midfield that should make runners a little easier to catch, whilst a new mechanic that’s been brought over from EA’s College Football franchise allows you to make your own default pass protection system to suit your chosen coach philosophy. Audio and visual effects, some quirky animations and other bugs also see fixes.

The cherry on top.
Hollow Knight: Silksong just got its first post-release patch last week — one which actually nerfed the difficulty of a few early game bosses — but Team Cherry is almost ready to put out a second one.
This time around, however, it’s all about bug fixes (haaa…) and tweaks to Tools. Sharing the details on Steam, the developer has detailed what these entail, with many of them focusing on enemies accidentally going out-of-bounds and certain Tools not doing the right amount of damage or not working as intended.

Silver wallet linings?
There’s been some fairly heated debate since the announcement of Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, over the remastered collection’s hefty price tag. It’s quite a lot of money for a pair of Wii games, as absolutely phenomenal as they are, there’s no getting around it.
However, we do already know that the games present at 4K/1080p on Switch 2 (1080p docked on Switch 1), and that they offer up a sprinkling of new features such as a new Assist Mode, a new chapter of Rosalina’s storybook, amiibo support, and what’s described as “visual enhancements”. How very vague of you, Nintendo.

“Segaaah!”.
Sega has released a new trailer for the upcoming Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, and with it has reignited its rivalry with Nintendo (albeit in a cute, harmless sort of way).
In an effort to pay homage to its Sega Genesis vs. SNES advertisement from the early ’90s, the new trailer highlights CrossWorlds’ high-speed action, broad customisation, and cross-platform compatibility, all the while throwing slight shade at Mario Kart World.
