By
Nintendo 3DS - Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam E3 2015 Trailer
Worlds will collide in Mario & Luigi Paper Jam, a new role-playing game (RPG) coming to the 3DS, Nintendo announced during its E3 event. Paper Jam appears to involve the characters from the Mario & Luigi RPG series and Paper Mario coming together to battle a common enemy. In keeping with Mario RPG tradition, characters have unique abilities that you will need to progress through challenges. The footage shown featured the player controlling both normal and paper versions of Mario and Luigi at the same time, and using paper crafting to build a giant Mario robot.

So far, both the Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario series have had four titles each. Nintendo has been combining the Mario franchise with RPG elements since 1996, when they released Super Mario RPG for the Super Nintendo.

Paper Jam is slated for release in Spring 2016.

Black Myth: Wukong’s impact is more important than any award
Sun Wukong holds his staff in Black Myth: Wukong.

More than any other game released in 2024, Black Myth: Wukong took the world by storm. The action-adventure title from Game Science, a Chinese developer, annihilated Steam records in August, peaking at over 2.4 million concurrent players. It comfortably sits in second place among its contemporaries, according to SteamDB. Most recently, Game Science reached another milestone by winning Best Action Game and the Player’s Voice voting at The Game Awards.

While Black Myth: Wukong is an adaptation of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, it has an entirely different narrative hook: a continuation of the tale itself, set centuries after the adventures of Tang Sangzang, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing. In it, you play as the Destined One, tasked with finding the six relics left behind by the Monkey King, Sun Wukong, in an effort to revive him.
