Super Mario 64 Becomes First-Person Horror Game In Fan Project

Super Mario 64 Becomes First-Person Horror Game In Fan Project

A guy gets a mysterious letter from his girlfriend, arrives at a castle to find her missing, and loads of rooms full of monsters… It’s the setup to 1996’s classic Super Mario 64sure, but it’s also very much also a survival horror pitch, which is why this new fan-made project is such a perfect fit.

Via nintendo lifethis is Another Princess Is In Our Castle“a Super Mario 64 inspired Horror Experience,” where you “decide to come back to Peach’s castle a few years after the princess’ death, but something isn’t quite right…”

While this looks like a first-person mod, it’s actually an entirely fan-made project from the ground up, designed with the perspective in mind. While it’s currently just a short playable demo, its creator Claudio Mondin hopes to eventually flesh it out into something more substantial.

Here’s a trailer made by Mondin:

Another Princess is in our Castle – Super Mario 64 Horror Game Trailer

And here’s some gameplay footage, showing how the main point is to sneak around the castle collecting items, all the while trying to avoid a Princess who is definitely not peachy:

Like Mondin says, it’s pretty much just a demo, so don’t go expecting too much out of it, outside of some sneaking (and the very cool novelty of it). I’m going to play some more later today though, just to see what the promised mystery really is though (hopefully the ghost is just upset that her cake turned out dogshit).

Higround Unveils Sonic the Hedgehog Themed Keyboard Collection

Higround Unveils Sonic the Hedgehog Themed Keyboard Collection

the sonic the hedgehog video games are more or less about one thing: blasting through a level with as much speed as possible. So as lovely as this Sonic-themed keyboard from Higround is, it seems almost antithetical to the spirit of the games, at least if you don’t have all your key positions perfectly memorized.

The keyboard is part of a new ‘capsule collection’ (yes, we’re just as upset about writing those words as you are about reading them) from Higround, who partnered with Sega to help pay tribute to the company’s most recognizable characters and one of its most beloved consoles.

The collection includes t-shirts, pants, bags, keycap sets, and even mouse pads, but the highlight definitely has to be the three heavily-themed keyboards. The most flamboyant of the bunch features elaborately decorated keys (with TTC Speed ​​Silver switches underneath) recreating the iconic Green Hill Zone from the first sonic the hedgehogwhile a slightly more subtle alternative mirrors the key art for sonic adventure 2.

The last keyboard of the bunch pays homage to the Dreamcast, with the console’s logo on the space bar and the arrow keys matching the colors and labels from its controller’s action buttons. Each keyboard appears to be completely free from labels to prioritize the artwork on the keycaps, but in reality, the alphanumeric labels have been moved onto the side of each key for aesthetic reasons, prioritizing form over function. At least there’s some form of safety net.

Pokémon Tournaments Allow Mythical Pokémon For Ranked Matches

Pokémon Tournaments Allow Mythical Pokémon For Ranked Matches

Mythical Pokemon jump at the audience.

Competitive Pokemon trainers are both excited and terrified at the recent rule changes in the video game championships (VGC), where players compete against one another via pokemon sword and Shield in an array of leagues. Mythical Pokémon are now allowed for official tournament play for the first time. This means that nobody is safe from heavy-hitters like Megearna or Victini, and the community is scrambling to find counters. Some of the most truly diabolic players have already started to add broken Pokémon to their own teams.

The rules for the latest Series 13 ranked matches, starting September 1, were posted yesterday for pokemon sword and Shield, this series focused on the Galar region, The rules mainly remained the same from the last series, except for an extended eligible Pokémon list. The information was originally spotted by the Pokemon fansite Serebiiand Kotaku was able to confirm the full list of eligible Pokémon in the Pokémon Home mobile app.

Mythical Pokémon are better known as event legendaries, and are normally close to impossible to obtain through normal gameplay. This group includes Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Arceus, and so on. Previously, you had to participate in special in-person events in order to obtain these rare Pokémon. Now, the only mythical Pokémon that are excluded from the eligibility list are the ones that can’t be obtained in Sword and Shield.

These days, mythical Pokémon are much easier to obtain than in the past. The dreaded Megearna can be obtained by completing the Alola Pokédex in pokemon sun and moonand Mew can be captured and transferred over from the Pokémon GO app. Victini can be captured in the Pokémon Sword and Shield DLC. So not being able to access limited time events is less of a competitive disadvantage now than it has been in the past.

The new series rules complicates the meta further: There are no restrictions on the number of legendary and mythical Pokémon that players can bring to a ranked match. Previously, up to two legendaries had been allowed in tournaments under the “GS rules” introduced in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver.
