Nintendo’s New Mobile RPG Is A Slick Version Of The Same Old Thing

Nintendo and Cygames’ Dragalia Lost is a very pretty mobile game. The characters are lovely, the music is gorgeous, and its overall presentation is quite charming.

Play As Bowsette In Super Mario 64

Someone paid modding mastermind Kaze Emanuar to build a playable Bowsette in Super Mario 64, and he duly obliged. It’s not just a visual gag, she’s also got a permanent fire-throwing ability.

Fortnite players noticed something unusual about the new Calamity skin in the season six update: her breasts have an undeniable jiggle when she performs the “Jubilation” emote.
