The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is less than a month away, but fans can get their tickets starting next week. Cinemark announced that tickets for the movie will go on sale on March 9, which coincides with the next Nintendo Direct about the film taking place on the same day. We'll get to see the final trailer for the movie, and if it's like any of the others, some sort of special message from Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination's Chris Meledandri.

Promotion and collabs have been heating up for the movie, including a brand-new Dippin' Dots ice cream flavor--which will be released in a special tin on Mario Day (March 10), and of course, the Yoshi popcorn bucket.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie arrives in theaters on April 1, featuring Chris Pratt, Anya Taylor-Joy, Charlie Day, and Jack Black returning to their respective voices, while Oscar-winner Brie Larson joins up as the serene Rosalina along with Benny Safdie as Bowser Jr. Another one of Mario's archnemesis was speculated to make an appearance after an accidental leak, but is still unconfirmed as of now.

There's a reasonable expectation for privacy that comes with using direct messages, but no should ever count on that. That's what some players may be discovering now that they've learned that Embark Studios' Arc Raiders was recording and storing their Discord DMs.

According to Insider Gaming, the issue was uncovered by computer engineer Timothy Meadows. He discovered that when Arc Raiders was linked to players' Discord accounts, it stored their private messages locally on their PCs as well as the Discord tokens needed to access them. If Embark had been intentionally spying on its players, that could have been enough to go through all of their private messages.

Embark has already acknowledged the issue and shared a hotfix to take care of it. On the game's Discord channel, Embark stated that "excessive user information" had been saved, and the company assured players that their personal info and messages weren't reviewed or stored outside of their own machines. Embark also disclosed that it will conduct an audit to make sure there are no similar incidents now or in the future.

According to one industry analyst, the Xbox hardware business at Microsoft could die off for good if the new console/PC system, Project Helix, doesn't work out.

Dr. Serkan Toto of the research group Kantan Games told GamesRadar, "This might be Microsoft's last attempt to make their hardware business work."

He went on to say no one in gaming realistically believes there will another Xbox "if this next machine fails."

Activision has shed more light on Call of Duty leaks following the company reportedly taking legal action to get a prominent Call of Duty leak account to stop posting.

In a YouTube comment on a TDAWG video, Activision said it understands that "rumors are part of gaming culture," along with "healthy online speculation." But Activision said it draws a line "when leaks turn into viral misinformation." This "undermines our developers and also distorts player expectations of the games we're making," the developer said.

"When that happens, we're going to step in and set the record straight," Activision said.

Five years after it was first announced, Saber Interactive's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic remake has finally gotten an update--albeit a very predictable one. In a new interview, Saber chief creative officer Tim Willits offered a terse summary on the project's current status.

"Yes, it is still in development. That's all I can say," Willits said to IGN.

First revealed in 2021, details on the remake of the BioWare classic have essentially been nonexistent for the last couple of years, but reports have surfaced since then of a turbulent development cycle. Back in 2025, it was claimed that developer Aspyr had been removed from the project and that the studio behind the upcoming Hellraiser: Revival, Mad Head Games, was handed the reins to the remake. The same report also claimed that a potential remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 had been put on hold.

Nintendo has announced the next Nintendo Direct, and it's coming up very soon. A Nintendo Direct dedicated to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be held on Monday, March 9 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET.

This event will include the final trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and, if it's like previous Directs for Nintendo movies, we may see and hear from Shigeru Miyamoto and Illumination's Chris Meledandri.

The Nintendo Direct will not, however, feature any game information, Nintendo clarified to help set expectations.

What is the One Piece? That's the question that has been at the heart of the titular manga series for decades, and one that fans might finally get an answer to--if they don't mind getting a little wet. To celebrate the long-running manga reaching over 600 million sales worldwide, manga creator and author Eiichiro Oda has written the secret to One Piece on a piece of paper, sealed it inside a specially designed capsule, and left it at the bottom of the ocean.

Oda's stunt was assisted by the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, with the location of the capsule remaining undisclosed. Naturally, this has spurred speculation and investigation across the globe, with the Reddit community working to pinpoint where exactly one of the answers to the biggest secrets in manga is resting. What we do know is that the capsule is positioned 651 meters below sea level, so even if it is located, some serious equipment will be needed to retrieve the paper and not be crushed by the ocean depths.

Pokemon Pokopia's story tasks you with exploring and restoring map areas for Pokemon, but you can also take trips away to other islands. Pokopia's Dream Islands are useful locations to visit if you want to gather more resources, and all you need to do is find some dolls for Drifloon. In this guide, we'll explain how to meet Drifloon, find Pokemon dolls, and explore these Dream Islands.

• How Dream Islands work in Pokemon Pokopia

Dream Islands work much like the ones you can visit in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The islands are randomized locations, and you can visit a fresh island every day. This lets you gather additional map resources, such as rope, fruit, sticks, and even some rare metals. You also want to make sure your personal inventory has plenty of room for scavenging.

You can only visit one island per day, but you can revisit that same island until the day resets. This means if you use the Eevee doll one day, you can only go back to this specific island. You'll have to wait until the next day to use a different doll such as Pikachu.

In case you hadn't noticed, there's a vocal segment of Resident Evil fans who just love Leon S. Kennedy, especially now that he's back in Resident Evil Requiem. Nick Apostolides reprises his role as Leon in the game, and knows all about the thirsty Leon fancam edits online. "It exists and I'm aware," Apostolides told GameSpot after describing them as "meme-worthy scenes and little GIFs and everything that are just chopped together with like fun cutesy music or sexy music."

During GameSpot's recent interview with Apostolides and his co-star, Angela Sant'Albano (Grace Ashcroft), the actor revealed that he's "been tagged in about a million and a half of them. I've probably seen everyone that's been created. That is a culture ... I meet a lot of fans, and my first question is, 'Hey, what what got you into the games?' Or, 'What's the first game you played for Resident Evil?' ... And often times the answer is 'No ... I'm not a gamer, [I] just like Leon edits.' ... I don't blame them."

Apostolides was also recently asked whether he believes Leon should be romantically paired with either Ada Wong or Claire Redfield, both of whom debuted alongside his character in Resident Evil 2.

Pokemon Pokopia is a cozy sim that follows a real-time clock in-game, meaning time affects what Pokemon you see and how quickly actions progress. There is also a daily reset that impacts your challenges and other aspects of the game. Here's what will change when a new day begins in Pokemon Pokopia, so you know what to check in your game with every reset.

A new day starts in Pokemon Pokopia at 5 AM for your local time. This time reset is when your Pokemon Centers and other large builds will complete, meaning anything that says it will complete "tomorrow" is finished for you at 5 AM.

Several small changes and PC refreshes will happen with each daily reset:
