This week, Nintendo held a Direct dedicated to Mario Kart World and while it was only 15 minutes long, it gave us a better idea of what to expect from the game’s open-world exploration and its competitive offerings, while also showing off some new playable characters and some of the stylish outfits you’ll be able to unlock for its many racers. Additionally, new screens leaked for the upcoming (though still officially unannounced) remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and some MrBeast fans who attended what was supposed to be an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience wound up demanding refunds after the experience proved to be anything but.

Over the weekend, fans of YouTuber and reality show host Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson gathered in Las Vegas for what was supposed to be an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience. As part of a partnership between the internet personality and the Resorts World Las Vegas hotel, some attendees spent over $1000 on the trip, only to receive a paltry gift bag and box of chocolates after sitting in the hotel for days. Now, disgruntled guests have taken their complaints to the hotel’s CEO, but have only received a meager $50 food and beverage credit for the trouble. - Kenneth Shepard Read More

Nintendo held a dedicated Direct showcase for the game this morning, and if you want to watch the 15-minute presentation you can do so below. For everyone who just wants some of the highlights, here are some of the new things we learned during showcase. - Kenneth Shepard Read More
