Super Bowl LX is coming up this Sunday, February 8, and the broadcast will feature ads galore like usual. At least one of them will be themed around video games, as a new report from Deadline said a trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will be shown during the big game.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie comes to theaters on April 1, and it has big shoes to fill, as 2023's The Super Mario Bros. Movie earned more than $1.3 billion globally. Illumination produced that movie and is back for the sequel. Illumination will also air a trailer for Minions 3 during the Super Bowl, the report said.

The Super Bowl broadcast may also include new trailers for Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, Pixar's Hoppers and Toy Story 5, as well as The Mandalorian & Grogu from Disney. The report added that Marvel will not have trailers for Avengers: Doomsday or Spider-Man: Brand New Day with Sony. There also won't be any trailers from Apple or Warner Bros., the report said.

Youtuber Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach's feature film adaptation of the horror video game Iron Lung has gotten off to an impressive start at the box office, earning $21.5 million globally. Of that total, $17.8 million came from the US box office during its opening weekend, and internationally, the movie grossed $3.6 million across seven foreign markets.

With a budget reportedly of $3 million, Thursday night previews pulling in $3.5 million, and minimal marketing spend, the low-budget film is a profitable venture after just a single weekend. Iron Lung creator David Szymanski had a succinct response to the film's doing better than expected, which saw it beat Evil Dead director Sam Raimi's Send Help to claim the top spot in the US:

In April 2023, Markiplier announced that he would produce, direct, and star in a live-action adaptation of Iron Lung, with Szymanski being heavily involved in the project.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone

$70 (was $100)

See at Amazon

CD Project Red's open-world RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is lauded for its sprawling, dystopian sci-fi cityscape, but some of the best tales of Night City took place outside of the game. The most notable of these side stories is Cyberpunk Edgerunners, an exciting--yet painfully short--anime series that introduced fans to new characters and a reimagined vision of Night City. In a surprising twist, the anime was later adapted into a tabletop game called Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone--which, yes, means it's a board game adaptation of an anime spin-off of a video game adaptation of a pen-and-paper tabletop RPG inspired by classic cyberpunk novels and anime. Cyberpunk Edgerunners: Combat Zone lets you relive pivotal moments from the show through its fast-paced combat encounters, and makes for a fast-paced way to play in the expansive Cyberpunk universe. If that piques your interest, you're in luck; it's on sale for $70 (was $100) at Amazon for a limited time. Just make sure you grab this fast before the deal disappears.
