Trials of Death, the Mario Maker 1 level by ChainChompBraden, has finally been beaten after nearly 7 years

https://twitter.com/ChompBraden

But if you want something easily playable, Metroid Mike 64 has put together what they're calling a Super Mario Bros 5, a Mario Maker 2 pack of levels acting as a spiritual successor to the original Marios. And I kinda wanna check it out!

Continuing with Mario, It looks like they're making a sequel to the 1993 hit classic Super Mario Bros, this time animated and starring Chris Pratt of all people and also the reveal trailer is being presented as a Nintendo direct Thursday

https://www.ign.com/articles/super-mario-movie-nintendo-announces-a-direct-for-the-first-trailer-and-reveals-a-very-detailed-poster

Speaking of remakes, Sony is continuing in it's questionable effort to get more money by remaking PS4 games that are entirely playable on PS5, Horizon Zero Dawn is being remade for PS5. For money reasons.

https://www.ign.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawn-ps5-remaster-reportedly-in-the-works-alongside-a-multiplayer-game

But while some are remade, other's are let go. Rip Stadia. I used you once.

In oh wow this really sucks news, the business people behind ZA/UM, the studio who made Disco Elysium, a game I really want to play and have only heard amazing things about, have pushed out the three main creatives behind the creation of Disco Elysium

https://kotaku.com/disco-elysium-2-zaum-amazon-allegations-narrative-rpg-1849608540

And in strange gaming press news, the bad wiki site Fandom has just acquired a Bunch of different sites, including the only one from the list I watch, Giant Bomb.

Splatoon 3's tricolor Turf Wars was fun, but like, not for me

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/team-scissors-isnt-very-happy-with-splatoon-3-tricolor-turf-war-mode/

Nintendo might announce new stuff this month! Probably! Maybe!

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/what-could-a-september-nintendo-direct-announce/

The New Shovel Knight Adventure is coming out September 23rd

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/shovel-knight-dig-release-date/

In Acquasition Corner

Sony bought an app developer. Guess we're getting Sony themed phone games now

And as far as I can tell, Savage Game Studios aint done nothing yet? So it's hard to say what type of games they'll be

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/sony-acquires-savage-game-studios-to-expand-playstation-mobile-presence/

Geoff Keighly tweeted out that Amazon was going to buy EA. This would suck. Then it later came out that Amazon is not going to buy EA /right now/ but it sounds like they're leaving enough room to go ahead and buy them eventually and lemme tell ya, That Would SUCK

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/amazon-reportedly-not-looking-to-acquire-electronic-arts-today-at-least/

Things are getting more expensive, in this case the PS5

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/the-playstation-5s-price-is-increasing-without-warning-in-most-territories/

But at least the Xbox and Nintendo aren't, but who knows how much the next ones will be

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/xbox-series-x-s-isnt-getting-a-price-increase-in-case-you-were-worried/

https://www.fanbyte.com/games/news/nintendo-confirms-switch-price-wont-increase-like-the-ps5/
