Hello! This week we disappoint Peggy Hill, build a home underground, get a new skateboarding game, watch Mario attack a firefighter, learn more about Astral Chain and fire the fish cannon.
Great Kotaku Content From The Past Week
Like most weeks, Kotaku was filled with some great stories. Here are a few of my favorites!

I had zero interest in this game and then I read this and I might get it. Wow!

Nintendo cracking down on fans who love their content and are helping to preserve it and share it?! So shocking!

A wonderful conversation and deep dive into a topic that Ubisoft hasnāt done great with, politics in games.

Hearing that the fish cannon gif and video have been around for years and went viral before really hurt my head. Iām online way too much and I totally missed it last time.

Mario hates firefighters for some reason. Someone asked him why and he just stared at them and hummed the underground theme.

If we canāt get a new (and good) Tony Hawk game or a new Skate, then I guess we will need folks to step up and make the next skateboarding franchise.
As someone who walks around a lot barefoot, even outside around my home, I donāt think Sigma is weird. I support you Sigma.
I still canāt believe this is getting made. Not because I loved the original or anything, but because I find it hard to believe this will do very well. Is there a ton of folks demanding this game get remade?
I feel dumb, but I want that backpack.
