Limited Run Games has announced that it’s making physical copies of Persona 3 Portable available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One / Series X. Preorders open on September 29th and last until November 12th,

Persona 4 Golden is getting physical copies too, but Limited Run Games says it will have more to share as we get closer to its October 27th preorder date.

With a little less than a month to go, Nintendo’s released a new Super Mario Bros. Wonder trailer. The trailer treads familiar ground, going over all the power-ups and places you’ll experience in the game.

If you missed the Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct or if you just can’t get enough of what looks to be the trippiest Mario Bros. game ever, take a look.

Limited Run Games has announced US preorders for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge - Anniversary Edition — a $35 physical release for consoles that includes the Dimension Shellshock DLC.

Preorders go until October 15th. Limited Run is also selling a $65 “Classic Edition” that looks like a VHS case and has bonuses, like stickers and a pizza coupon. Watch the trailer for the UK release below.

I’ve been playing F-Zero 99 every chance I get since Nintendo released it this week. It took 43 races, but I got first place... by the skin of my teeth.

It stung a little when Thursday’s Nintendo Direct showed the opening of a race from the SNES F-Zero and it wasn’t a surprise F-Zero GX sequel announcement, but to its credit, F-Zero 99 is a blast.

F-Zero 99, which Nintendo just announced during its September Direct, is now available to download from the Nintendo eShop. If you’re brave enough, jump in to take on up to 98 fellow racers — good luck!

Nintendo’s September Direct announcements covered a bunch of remakes and remasters coming to the Nintendo Switch: Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a collection of both Another Code titles, Luigi’s Mansion 2, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Those are all in addition to games like Advance Wars and Metroid Prime remakes, which came to Switch earlier this year. What’s old is new again, right?

At long last, Sora gets his amiibo. Announced during today’s Nintendo Direct showcase, the Keyblade’s chosen will finally receive his plastic statuette, which means that now every Smash Bros. Ultimate fighter finally has one. Complete the set when he arrives next year or add to your Kingdom Hearts shrine. Or both, we don’t judge here.

Nintendo shared a new trailer for its next WarioWare game at the September Nintendo Direct, and it looks just as silly as the other games in the series. You’ll have to move your body in some creative ways to complete each microgame, which I’m guessing will be a riot if you’re playing with some friends or family.

WarioWare: Move it! launches on Nintendo Switch on November 3rd.

I’m still over the moon about the Thousand-Year Door remake, but I was also happy that Nintendo shared another look at the Super Mario RPG remake, too. This new trailer includes some new details about what it’s like to actually play the game, including some tweaks to the original game’s already-great battle system.

Super Mario RPG is scheduled to be released on November 17th.

The next big update for social deduction game Among Us is a new mushroom-themed map called “The Fungle,” announced during Nintendo’s September Direct.

The crewmates are stranded on a deserted island infested with poisonous mushrooms, but since it’s Among Us, I’m sure many of the biggest threats you encounter will be from your fellow traitorous players.

If you haven’t played Dave the Diver yet, you really should when it comes to Switch on October 26th. It’s a fish-catching roguelike mixed with a restaurant simulator mixed with a bunch of other genres, and somehow, it all holds together.

I recently got to ask the creators a few questions about making the game, so stay tuned for my piece on that.

The sixth and final wave of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch is coming this holiday season. Nintendo announced during its September Direct that the sendoff Booster Course pack will include a new course and four new playable characters, including Peachette, Pauline, and (most importantly) Funky Kong.

Like previous Boosters, you’ll be able to purchase it standalone or access it with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

Officially titled Luigi’s Mansion 2: HD, it’s set to release in summer 2024. Nintendo showed off a new trailer at the September 2023 Nintendo Direct, and I think it looks really charming.

Nintendo debuted a new trailer for Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown during its September Nintendo Direct. It looks fantastic — I love the return to a side-scrolling style.

During its June Direct, Nintendo revealed games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the Super Mario RPG remake, and a new WarioWare game. I’m guessing we’ll hear more about all of those during the September Direct, which starts at 10AM ET.

Tears of the Kingdom producer Eiji Aonuma spelled it out for NPR:

In an emailed response, Aonuma wrote that in Tears of the Kingdom, “we were able to implement all of the elements that we wanted to achieve in this world and this story, so there will not be any DLC. Please continue to enjoy the vast world of Hyrule.”

He recently told Famitsu something similar, as reported by IGN. If Tears DLC is on your bingo card for Thursday’s Nintendo Direct, you might want to take it off.

The $49.99 N64 controller for the Nintendo Switch is up for sale once again on Nintendo’s site, exclusively for Switch Online subscribers.

The wireless reissue has rumble built in, and is meant to be paired with the emulated N64 games that come with Nintendo’s online subscription. These new gamepads were pretty elusive for a while, but now the restocks usually stick around for a day or sometimes longer.

The Pokémon Company’s art-focused collaborations have gradually become one of the niftiest parts of the franchise over the past few years, and it seems as if there’s another one on the horizon that’ll bring trainers to Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum beginning September 28th.
