And I mean that literally: the Godzilla spinoff series Monarch: of Monsters is now streaming on Apple TV Plus. But it’s not the only big release of the week, with Nintendo’s remake of Super Mario RPG out on the Switch, and the subversive Scott Pilgrim Takes Off streaming on Netflix.

A new crop of Super Mario-themed Lego sets has popped up, as spotted by the folks at Brick Fanatics. There’s a sunken ship and Bowser with a sweet new ride, but my favorite is this adorable Yoshi set. They aren’t expected to release until January 1st, giving you plenty of time to play Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG in the meantime.

Another celebrity is entering the virtual realm of Fortnite. This time it’s Formula One star Lewis Hamilton, who will be available in the item shop on November 17th. Hamilton looks stylish as always (though I would’ve loved if his skin had the Daft Punk racing helmet), but more importantly, the set comes with a glider and back bling featuring his adorable dog. Hope they like racing around Tilted Towers.

The Star Named Eos is a first-person puzzle / exploration game with what looks like a big focus on memories as experienced through photos. Whatever it is, it’s certainly pretty, and the new trailer makes me want a cup of coffee very badly. The game hits the Switch in spring 2024.

Who doesn’t love to spend a seaside vacation solving mysteries? On Your Tail feels like the kind of investigative game where you’ll really want to investigate, primarily because of how charming the world looks. It’s not clear why all of the characters are animals, but you’ll be able to solve that mystery as well when the game drops in 2024.

The atmospheric platformer debuted on the Xbox and PC earlier this year, but it’ll soon make its way to both the Switch and PlayStation (PS4 and PS5). The ports don’t have a release date, but are expected next spring.

There’s no shortage of whodunits on the Switch, and soon another intriguing take on the genre will hit the platform. It’s called Death Trick: Double Blind, and it mixes up a visual novel with more investigative elements. Also, it takes place at a circus. Death Trick launches in 2024, but a demo is available on the Switch today.
