    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course DLC is going out with a funky bang.

    The sixth and final wave of DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch is coming this holiday season. Nintendo announced during its September Direct that the sendoff Booster Course pack will include a new course and four new playable characters, including Peachette, Pauline, and (most importantly) Funky Kong.

    Like previous Boosters, you’ll be able to purchase it standalone or access it with a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription.

    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.

    These Google Camera 9.0 UI changes are bringing back bad Pixel 3 memories.

    Maybe it’s because it reminds me of the old phones’ pill-shaped navigation UI, but this Google Camera 9.0 update 9to5Google reports is rolling out to beta Pixels looks... kinda bad? There even seems to be slightly less viewfinder space. Also, it requires Android 14, so maybe there’s something to rumors of a camera revamp coming with the Pixel 8.

    I do love the Ice Cream Sandwich-era vibes of that cyan highlight color, but that might just be Material You theming at work.

    A comparison of screenshots from the Google Camera 8.9 and upcoming 9.0.
