Twitter user Retro Cabeza actually took the time to sift through the latest Super Mario Odyssey trailer and identify the origins of each suit, allowing fans that didn’t initially notice to trace the ensembles back to their roots. As is made immediately apparent through the image posted to RC’s Twitter account, each costume has a very specific game that it originated from. Suffice it to say, it’s not likely that longstanding followers of Nintendo’s mascot thought they’d be seeing these duds again....

In a Tweet from the official Nintendo of America account, a new Easy Mode has been added to Super Mario Run in an effort to completely take the pressure off of the experience. For players struggling to finish the main World Tour mode, Easy Mode gives players unlimited bubbles, which essentially enable players to respawn after dying on the level. While any collected coins won’t save, the timer has been removed as well making Easy Mode a great practice tool for locating many of the secrets hidden away on each level....

During the presentation, fans got a few amazing behind the scenes details about the park and learned about some of the attractions that attendees could see.

First announced in 2016, Nintendo and Universal Studios reached an agreement that has seen the construction of Nintendo-themed parks at several Universal Studios locations. These locations include Japan, the first to be completed, along with Universal Studios Hollywood, Singapore, and Orlando locations set to open in the future. There was a general overview tour given by Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto a few months ago, but this is the first detailed footage of Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge’s entire queue and ride....

The digital games revolution has allowed indie-developed titles to find massive success over the past decade-plus, as it is much easier to distribute a game without having to package it, ship it to retailers, and so on and so forth. But many gamers still enjoy the idea of having a physical version of their favorites, especially for collecting purposes. A few years ago Super Rare Games made a physical version of Snake Pass for example, and now it is doing the same with five more Nintendo Switch titles....

Industry tipster Emily Rogers claims to have sources who indicate a Super Smash Bros. game will be released on the Nintendo Switch before the end of 2018. That would definitely be a pretty big surprise if it ends up being true. Perhaps an E3 or Nintendo Direct mic drop moment? The rumors claim that the game will be based on the most recent Wii U and 3DS version, but will also add new content and make some improvements to existing features....

Surprisingly, unlocking the traditional Donkey Kong Country antagonist doesn’t involve the big ape at all. Unlike some other fighters, King K. Rool doesn’t take a lot of effort to unlock as he can be obtained after wrapping up Super Smash Bros Ultimate’s Classic mode under certain conditions. Thankfully, this can be done right away as players simply need to select Link from the character selection screen and pick any difficulty level....

After a poor opening half when PSG struggled to string any passes together under Strasbourg’s intense pressing, Mbappe galvanized his side but ultimately could not prevent a second straight draw. “It wasn’t a good match from us. It’s always hard to play here because they give everything and they deserved a draw,” PSG winger Julian Draxler said. “We didn’t lose but normally we should win. It’s a second draw for us and we have to improve ahead of our next match in the Champions League (against Red Star Belgrade)....

According to AITA sources who spoke to various members of the media last week, Nagal allegedly arrived to practice sessions for the national tennis event with a ‘hangover’. In a leak to the Press Trust of India, an AITA source alleged “..we got to know that he finished the mini-bar in his hotel room. He is a very talented guy but when you are only 19 years old and you are getting a chance to be in the Indian team and you miss practise sessions, it’s not acceptable....

The Games were held at Olympia, a sacred site site near the west coast of Southern Greece. The four-year gap between the Olympic Games was known as an ‘Olympiad’ which became a unit of time. There were no medals given to winners. Instead, they were given a wreath of leaves and a hero’s welcome back home. The athletes competed for their city and the winners were seen as being touched by God....

Asia has hosted the Summer Olympics three times already, with the next edition to be held in the continent as well, in Tokyo this year. Let us take a look at the different Asian countries that have hosted the Summer Olympics till now. #1 Tokyo: 1964, 2021 Japan has been an enthusiastic participant in the Olympic Games since early times. Although Tokyo eagerly promoted to host the 1940 Olympics, it was subsequently passed to Helsinki due to Japan’s invasion of China....

Here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the “MVP” is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn’t cost any additional money like the “Captain” in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel’s default scoring is half-point PPR and four-point passing TDs, and there are no bonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games like on DraftKings. MORE FD SINGLE GAME: How to win a FanDuel single-game contest FanDuel Single Game DFS Picks: Broncos vs....

1. The Midwest region game between No. 1 seed Wichita State and No. 8 seed Kentucky should be awesome, for so many reasons. You already know why, and you already know you’ll watch. Tip is set for 2:45 p.m. ET-ish (half-hour after the Stanford-Kansas contest in St. Louis). 2. It’s hard not to love a game where double-digit seeds battle for a spot in the Sweet 16. Feels odd when one of them hails from a “power” conference, though....

There were concerns that Fletcher could miss Sunderland matches for several months. However, interim head coach Kevin Ball, on Friday afternoon, came out with much more positive news. According to SkySports, Ball said: “It’s four to six weeks which is good news for us. I’ve been downstairs and Steven has a smile on his face; albeit he realises that it’s four to six weeks. “Hopefully he’ll be back within that time and he’ll be a great addition to the squad....

Booker landed awkwardly as a pass came his way with 4:28 left in the quarter Wednesday night. He was attended to by training staff and the entire Suns bench came from one end of the court to the other to be by his side. Booker is averaging 36.2 points over the last 11 games, and has 25 or more points in each game during that stretch. He recently had back-to-back 50-point games....

The Suns’ second-year forward saved the game against the Hawks by blocking an alley-oop attempt from Dennis Schroder to Taurean Prince with less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation. Chriss not only prevented Atlanta from taking the lead but also kept the play alive, allowing Devin Booker to recover the ball, take a foul and hit two free throws to push Phoenix ahead by three points.

Over the course of the past year, and even before, there has been much hand-wringing about what has become a vile and detested word in the NBA: tanking. With a stacked draft in 2014, including as many as five players who might be No. 1 picks in many other drafts, there has been widespread accusation that certain franchises simply might not be trying very hard, hoping to ensure they can land at the top of the draft....

Sunspots are regions of the sun’s atmosphere associated with intense magnetic fields that are so strong, they prevent some heat from the sun’s interior from reaching the surface. This makes sunspots relatively cool, making them look like dark patches. Sunspots are known sources of eruptions from our sun known as solar flares—bursts of radiation that travel to Earth at the speed of light. If they interact with the Earth’s atmosphere, strong solar flares can cause disruption to radio communications....

The game resulted in a four-way teaser win for bettors, meaning books had to pay out on all combinations (New England/OVER, New England/UNDER, Seattle/OVER, Seattle/UNDER). The New England/OVER parlay also cashed, the worse-case scenario from some of the bet shops in town. “The worst-case scenario for us was Patriots-to-OVER, but we’re still grading all (350) props, and we should show a small profit,” Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook vice president Jay Kornegay told The Linemakers on Sporting News on Sunday night....

Los Angeles, which defeated the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game, is making its second Super Bowl appearance in five years under coach Sean McVay. The Rams previously lost Super Bowl LIII, 13-3, to the Patriots. The Rams had one of the NFL’s most prolific passing offenses this season, led by quarterback Matthew Stafford, who was acquired via trade with the Lions. He ranked in the top-five in the NFL in passing yards (third at 4,886) and touchdowns (second at 41), with targets Cooper Kupp (1,947 receiving yards) and midseason acquisition Odell Beckham Jr....
