A limited edition, gilded Mario Amiibo appears to be coming exclusively to Walmart as part of a bundle with the upcoming Mario Party 10, according to a poster spotted and shared by Redditor pituvision.

It is not entirely clear whether the gold Amiibo itself is exclusive to Walmart or just as a bundle with Mario Party 10. This does confirm a report from earlier in February that special edition gold and silver Marios would be joining the Amiibo line. The silver version has yet to surface, so let us know if you happen to spot one in the wild.

Mario Party 10 comes out on March 10, 2015, exclusively for Wii U. The poster’s allusion to Easter indicates that this deal should go live sometime in March or April.

Revenge of the Savage Planet spins Google Stadia trauma into comedy gold

Two astronauts frolic as bugs fly overhead in Revenge of the Savage Planet.

The gaming news cycle is so hectic these days that it’s easy to completely forget about a ridiculous industry saga. I was reminded of that while demoing Revenge of the Savage Planet, the latest game from Racoon Logic. When I sat down to try a demo of it ahead of The Game Awards last week, I was greeted by a satirical introduction as a corporate orientation video cheerfully explained that I was an employee on a dangerous mission. As it played, the developer showing me the demo made a crack about Google. I didn’t really understand why, so I laughed and moved on.

It wasn’t until a few minutes later that a long-forgotten thought came back to me. In 2019, Google acquired Typhoon Studios. They were folded into what was supposed to be Google’s first-party game studio, Stadia Games and Entertainment. Two years later, the entire project was shut down and Typhoon Games was spat back out. It formed Racoon Logic later that year, putting the team back to where it started as an indie team.

Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet: everything we know so far

The main image for Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet.

When you look at the best PlayStation 5 games, or even a list of the best video games of all time, odds are you will see at least one game from developer Naughty Dog. Our list of upcoming video games was already stacked prior to The Game Awards 2024, but the last announcement of the night added one more to the list that might beat out other heavy hitters like Ghost of Yotei and Wolverine. As this is coming from Naughty Dog, this is already one of our most anticipated upcoming PS5 game, but others might need more convincing. We took out a bounty on all the information there is on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet and this is what we came up with.

If you don't have a PS5, there are plenty of upcoming Xbox Series X, upcoming PC, and upcoming Switch games, too.
