Super Mario 3D World Bowser’s Fury Review: Joyful but Unfinessed

In 2013,Super Mario 3D Worldwas released for the Nintendo Wii U, and I devoured it. It was an unbelievably entertaining entry to the long-running video game franchise, a perfect blend between its classic 2D and contemporary 3D modes of gameplay, a formula-scrambling emphasis on multiplayer chaos over single-player precision, an introduction to “the kitty cat suit” that we can and should never walk away from. For those who missed this game in its original state on the low-selling Wii U, I have great news: You can now play it in all its glory on the Nintendo Switch, and boy howdy are you in for a treat....

The Flash Extended "Attack on Gorilla City" Trailer Is Grodd

Even thoughThe Flashis only in its third season, the grueling 22-episode broadcast schedule makes it feel like it’s been on much longer. As much as I love the show, it has started to feel a little bit like it’s in a rut, which means it’s a great time for it to take a field trip.
