Goodnight sweet plumber So yesterday, we reported on the destruction ofSuper Mario Maker:which would be brought offline and removed from the eShop on August 02, 2025. I thought about that date and figured “hey, that sounds familiar,” but didn’t make a connection until a reader pointed it out. That’s Mario doomsday. While we could really use a Year of Luigi pick me up right now, instead we’re getting a downer of a date....
With so many to sample year-to-year, there aren’t many games I stick with on a long-term basis. There are a few exceptions to that sweeping statement, though, and I count bothFinal Fantasy XIVandBaldur’s Gate 3as my current ride-or-dies. And as I’m lost venturing further into the weeds of Faerun, I’m still keeping up with myFFXIVdailies. So what happens when we combine both? It’s a recipe forFFXIV Baldur’s Gate 3mods. To my delight—and maybe dismay—Larian’sambitious RPGcharmed others like me, rolling two of my favorites into one....

Indie developer Steven Cravotta was probably left somewhat confused when his long-abandoned mobile game suddenly started rocketing up the charts. It turns out that Cravotta has also released an app known as “Wordle,” which has led to confused users installing his program in droves, mistaking it forthe recent viral puzzle title. “I built an app called Wordle when I was 18 mostly for fun, to sharpen my coding skillz, and maybe make a quick buck,”said Cravotta on Twitter....
Still holding out for Great Saiyaman 🙁 I was wondering whenDragon Ball FighterZwould introduce the tried and true multipleversions of the same characterDragon Ballfighting games have been known for, and luckily it doesn’t seem to be a bad deal yet.

In these Weekly Shonen Jumpscans provided by ShonenGamez, Kid Buu shows off a giant ultimate attack, Gotenks (in Super Saiyan 3 mode) gets his Volleyball Attack, and Gohan (in his problematic, post-Old and Supreme Kai power boost mode) gets his Ultimate Kamehameha....
