Super Mario Odyssey is such a solid game that it seems inevitable Nintendo will follow it up somehow. The game introduced too many interesting mechanics and compelling settings to go without a sequel, whether direct or indirect. Although Super Mario Odyssey 2 seems like an extremely safe bet for both Nintendo and speculating fans, it probably isn’t going to crop up anytime soon. For one thing, Nintendo doesn’t seem like it wants to focus on new Super Mario games in the near future....

This much was revealed during Nintendo Treehouse Live at E3, with the Super Mario Party mode for online play being called Online Mario-thon. The online component will feature five different ever-changing mini-games that lets one play against against friends or people all over the world. What’s more is that the multiplayer game will have online leaderboards as well as some rewards that will be revealed at a later date....

One of the biggest announcements from the Nintendo press conference is that Super Mario Party will be coming to Nintendo Switch on October 5, 2018. The multiplayer party game will feature the same madcap mini-games that fans have come to expect from the long-running party series. The announcement trailer for Super Mario Party featured a game in which one player rides a massive Chain Chomp and tries to chow down on other player characters and another where players ride barrels down a hill....

The title, first announced at GDC earlier this month, is being developed by the same team that produced the Mario Galaxy games for the Wii. Shigeru Miyamoto revealed more details about the upcoming 3D Mario release during a press conference in Paris. Miyamoto confirmed that although Super Mario 3DS is still in heavy development, it will be ready for a full reveal at E3. He also went in depth into the camera system for Super Mario 3DS....

Parsons was a big help down the stretch of games, as Howard was so often pulled out of action because of his historically bad performance at the free-throw line. If that was where criticisms for Howard’s game ended, there would likely be fewer questions lingering about his impact. Despite spending a number of years as the most dominant center in the NBA, the combination of a new crop of big talent and Howard’s own lack of offensive development have triggered strong comments over the years....

The team on Tuesday announced the star point guard will be shut down for the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs as she continues to rehab her knee. The Storm had hoped Bird could make her return after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on her left knee on May 30, though she’ll join teammate Breanna Stewart on the bench. Stewart, the reigning MVP and WNBA Finals MVP, had surgery in April to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon and is also expected to sit out the entire season....

Passive aggression is the modus operandi of the ’90s, a crucial weapon in the contemporary games-playing arsenal. The label “passive-aggressive” is no longer a technical term used by psychiatrists and psychologists alone; it has spilled over into popular parlance as well. In Woody Allen’s bleak new movie, “Husbands and Wives,” a spurned husband played by Benno Schmidt twice pins the label “passive-aggressive” on his ex-wife, Mia Farrow, because she manipulatively pretends to be more helpless than she actually is....

Enter your skin type and suntan lotion, and it tells you when to flip. Only for hard-core sun worshipers. Putty to strengthen hands; what happened to squeezing racquetballs? Threatened by a schnauzer while jogging? Punish it with high-frequency noise. Now even baseball mitts have gone “Pump.” Inflates for custom fit. It’s cool, but will kids start offing each other over it?

The 25-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea ahead of the 2016-17 campaign, with Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis claiming the Premier League leaders were ready to pay close to €60million for the centre-back. Courtois not tempted by Real Madrid Napoli refused to sell Koulibaly, though, tying him to a new deal in September and he has been a key figure at the San Paolo again this season as they chase Champions League qualification, with the Serie A club able to call the shots on any offers that are forthcoming....

On Monday, September 19, the 23-year-old claimed in a now-viral TikTok video that the Maroon 5 rocker cheated on pregnant wife Behati Prinsloo with her. “Embarrassed I was involved [with] a man with this utter lack of remorse and respect,” she captioned the clip, which was since been viewed nearly 21 million times. She began the video by saying she wanted to “rip the Band Aid off” after recording her message nearly a dozen times....

In the article Pichai explains how his own company Google has put in place guidelines for company use of AI “to help guide ethical development and use of the technology.” He goes onto say that these “guidelines help us avoid bias, test rigorously for safety, design with privacy top of mind, and make the technology accountable to people. They also specify areas where we will not design or deploy AI, such as to support mass surveillance or violate human rights....

Barbosa suffered the injury when he tried to take a charge on Clippers guard Chris Paul. The injury will not require surgery, but no timetable has been set for his return. Barbosa has been counted on to provide offense in the absence of Eric Bledsoe, who went down with a torn meniscus. He has done that on some level, averaging 7.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 20 games for the Suns....

Tensions had been falling since the late 1990s, when South Korean President Kim Dae Jung broke the cold-war ice by declaring a new “Sunshine Policy” of partnership rather than confrontation. Nearly 2 million southerners have visited the North over the past decade, compared with 2,400 in the previous 45 years. Officials from the two Koreas now meet regularly. As routine replaces perpetual alarm, trade between the Koreas rose 23 percent in the first 10 months of this year to $1....

Though Super Bomberman R has been around for a while now, Super Bomberman R Online is something completely different and exclusive to Stadia. Using the same game engine and general concept as the former, this new title will feature no single player elements, instead relegating players to online multiplayer exclusively. It’s claim to fame will be 64 player battle royale games, a series first for the Bomberman franchise which typically only hosted around four players per match, though some games did have more than that....

It will be a matchup of a pair of the game’s best quarterbacks: legendary veteran Tom Brady and young superstar Patrick Mahomes. Brady is chasing what could be his last league title, while Mahomes is likely still in the early stages of his already-sensational career. The matchup should also feature a strong coaching duel between Tampa Bay’s Bruce Arians and Kansas City’s Andy Reid. Both are grizzled coaching veterans with track records of success....

Pittsburgh (-10) needs to win at Cleveland and a Jets (-3) loss at Buffalo to stay alive. The Chiefs have already clinched one of the AFC’s wild card berths. Both the Broncos and Bengals can still clinch first-round byes because of New York’s overtime win over the Patriots, which is they now sit at 10-1 as opposed to 12-1 and 14-1, like they were last week. The Cardinals are now NFC favorites at 3-2 and Super Bowl co-favorites at 7-2 after stomping the Packers at home on Sunday....

Twitter user Wario64 did some digging and uncovered an inactive listing at Best Buy for Super Mario 3D World. The details show that it will release for the Switch with a price tag of $59.99, and although it isn’t listed as such, it is likely the game will be getting a Deluxe release, just as Super Mario Bros. U did – though this is not confirmed. RELATED: Rumor: Nintendo Bringing Obscure Mario Games to Switch Online...

Among the many impressive finds in this goldmine of information is a document which claims that Super Mario 64 took only 622 days to develop from start to finish.
