Regularly $60, this triumph of modern 2D side-scrolling action hasn’t really seen any major price drops since its release and is now at the best price we can find. Amazon’s best third-party listings have it starting at $50, for comparison sake. We came away from this wonderful experience saying it “reinvents 2D platformers with silly, strange, and whimsical gameplay” – it is a must-have for any Switch owner, no matter what age or experience level they are if you ask me. Many feel, us included, this is one of the best 2D side-scrolling Mario adventures yet, and certainly in the modern era. With the introduction of loads of new gameplay mechanics and power-ups (Elephant Mario!) layered on top of the usual 2D action, Super Mario Bros. Wonder deserves a place in any Switch game library.

After a few major, and more than just loose rumor, reports over the last few months, it would appear the PS5 Pro is all but imminent now. Last we checked in, the technical overview of the still unconfirmed new console had surfaced, and it now looks as though even more credible sources have received a complete list of the machine’s specs. We previously suspected the pro machine would be very much like the current-generation model, just with even more powerful internals, which still appears to be the case, and Sony is now priming developers to ready titles for the console (or ensure existing games are ready to take advantage of the added horsepower).
