When AC Milan take to the field this weekend, the squad will be looking a little 8-bit. The club just unveiled its latest kits, which keep the iconic black-and-red stripes, but render them in pixel art. It’s a striking design — and would feel right at home on certain runways.
With theme parks and a movie, the company is pushing outside of its traditional console gaming comfort zone.
The “final” Super Mario Bros. Movie trailer will debut in around two weeks — Nintendo says it’ll be available to watch on March 9th at 5PM ET. Don’t expect any other surprises, though, as there will be “no game information.” The movie finally hits theaters on April 7th. While you wait, here’s an interview with Mario creator (and movie producer) Shigeru Miyamoto about building theme parks.
Next week there will be 20 minutes of news about Pokémon, with a livestream that just so happens to land on Pokémon day (February 27th). There’s no word on what to expect, but I’m desperate for an update on Pokémon Sleep.
As Super Nintendo World opens up in Los Angeles, the creator of Mario talks about getting back to his roots, and exploring new creative fields.
If you’re a long-time Star Trek fan — particularly of the TNG variety — you’re going to want to start watching the new season of Picard.
In the mood for a different flavor or sci-fi? There’s also the new retrofuturistic drama Hello Tomorrow on Apple TV Plus, and Ant-Man heads to the Quantum Realm in the latest Marvel blockbuster.
Or you could just spend your weekend hunting down towering monsters. We all have our vices.
I’m a little disoriented from the augmented reality Mario Kart ride at Super Nintendo World, but unfortunately I can’t catch my breath in this big ol’ chair that I spotted in Bowser’s lair, since it’s just a prop. Not sure what’s up with that Peach photo, though.
Sure you can take photos with Mario and Peach at Super Nintendo World, but no character is more relatable than this precarious stack of goombas. Hang in there fellas.
The first US edition of Super Nintendo Land opens at Universal Studios Hollywood tomorrow, but I’m here a little early getting a sneak peek. Expect to read plenty more about the park, as well as Nintendo itself, on The Verge in the coming days.
In the meantime, I’ll be avoiding this Thwomp.
