Mario Kart World's newest update just added a chaotic battle mode and made some changes to a couple of items that already have players celebrating.

The Ver. 1.6.0 patch of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch game includes Bob-omb Blast, a battle mode first introduced to the series in Mario Kart: Double Dash for GameCube. It's similar to the standard Balloon Battle mode, where you score points by hitting other players with items, except that players can only use Bob-ombs--and they can carry up to 10 at a time. Expect pandemonium on the battlefield.

Earlier this month, fans spotted a Bob-omb icon in an image shared by Nintendo, leading many to believe that the company had accidentally let slip that the mode was on its way. Bob-omb Blast joins Balloon Battle and Coin Runners as one of three battle modes in World--fingers crossed that Nintendo will add Shine Thief from Double Dash and Renegade Roundup from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe down the line.

Weapons and Barbarian director Zach Cregger has further teased his upcoming Resident Evil movie, saying he's making a movie that's unlike anything he's ever seen. He also addressed how he expects there to be fan blowback for what he's doing with the Resident Evil franchise.

"I love the idea of being pitted against a world that is hellbent on annihilating you," Cregger told The New York Times. "It just feels fun and I haven't seen a movie that offers that sort of experience."

He went on to say that if his movie deviates from popular Resident Evil lore, he would expect that some part of the fandom to "crucify" him.

Production on the third season of HBO's The Last of Us series is now underway, and videos and images from the set have emerged, showing the characters Abby (Kaitlyn Dever) and Lev (Kyriana Kratter).

Filming is taking place in Vancouver, and with some shoots taking place in public places, people took out their phones and starting filming the production. In this video, we see Abby walking across the top of a building, holding a long rifle, surrounded by production crew. Lev can be seen as well, wielding a bow and arrow. Close-up images of Abby and Lev were also snapped from the set.

Perfect Blue was Kon's directorial debut and was first released in 1997. Set in the cutthroat world of Japan's entertainment industry, the film follows pop idol Mima Kirigoe and her efforts to break into acting. Under pressure from work, obsessive fans, stalkers, and gruesome murders around her, Kirigoe finds herself caught in a nightmare as her reality begins to crack. Considered one of the best anime films of all time, Kon followed it with the influential Millennium Actress, Tokyo Godfather, and Paprika, but his career was cut short by his death in 2010.

A Perfect Blue 4K Collector's Edition was released in December 2025. Amazon still has it in stock for $66.84 (was $100).
