The music clips have already received millions of views.

Nintendo and Illumination’s Mario Movie is absolutely dominating at the box office, but it’s not the only success. The Mario Movie song ‘Peaches’ performed by Jack Black as Bowser has also been charting. Not long after the real-life version of the song was released it made it into the top 100 on iTunes.

Plus ‘Sloths and Spa’ free update available now.

Publisher No More Robots is throwing us in at the deep end of Let’s Build A Zoo later this year. The developer of the cute, cosy, and somewhat morally troubling management sim has revealed some brand new DLC for the game — Aquarium Odyssey. So we’ll be able to splice fish together now for some truly terrifying sea creatures.

To celebrate this announcement, developer Springloaded has also dropped a free update for its animal-splicing zoo sim called ‘Sloths and Spas’, which is frankly perfect. We would take this alone without the promise of tons of new content in the future.

In the firing line.

Hello chums, and welcome to another edition of Box Art Brawl!

Before we get stuck in with this week’s three-way battle, let’s take a look at how last week’s brawl went down.

Rather surprisingly, in this humble writer’s opinion, the Western design won by a sizeable margin, taking in 69% of the vote over Japan. Both designs are pretty great, mind.

“Dream 64 does exist after all”.

Rare had a successful run during its time with Nintendo but not every project necessarily saw the light of day. One of these games was a role-playing title codenamed Project Dream.
