Boy, Nintendo really loves remakes.

Nintendo’s September Direct announcements covered a bunch of remakes and remasters coming to the Nintendo Switch: Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a collection of both Another Code titles, Luigi’s Mansion 2, and Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Those are all in addition to games like Advance Wars and Metroid Prime remakes, which came to Switch earlier this year. What’s old is new again, right?

Among Us’ new map looks like a fungi-good time.

The next big update for social deduction game Among Us is a new mushroom-themed map called “The Fungle,” announced during Nintendo’s September Direct.

The crewmates are stranded on a deserted island infested with poisonous mushrooms, but since it’s Among Us, I’m sure many of the biggest threats you encounter will be from your fellow traitorous players.

The Nintendo 64 controller for the Switch is back in stock (for now).

The $49.99 N64 controller for the Nintendo Switch is up for sale once again on Nintendo’s site, exclusively for Switch Online subscribers.

The wireless reissue has rumble built in, and is meant to be paired with the emulated N64 games that come with Nintendo’s online subscription. These new gamepads were pretty elusive for a while, but now the restocks usually stick around for a day or sometimes longer.
