The internet is saying that "Mario Dies" soon, which is odd given that he's died many times before in absurdly painful ways.
Fans everywhere are declaring March 31st to be the day that “Mario Dies” since that’s the day when Nintendo will inexplicably stop selling Super Mario 3D All-Stars, remove Super Mario Bros. 35 from the eShop, Super Mario Game & Watch system, and shut down the original Super Mario Maker‘s servers. It’s a series of controversial decisions made all the stranger by the fact that they’re falling on the same day.
While Mario isn’t actually “dying” on that day, let’s not pretend that we haven’t seen Mario die countless times before...

Lady Dimitrescu might only haunt the halls of her fictional castle in Resident Evil Village but her character was inspired by a real-life Hu
Resident Evil Village, Capcom’s newest vision of horror, unleashed its villain, Lady Alcina Dimitrescu, onto the world in January, and the internet has hardly been the same since. Before we’d even seen anything substantial from the new game, the nine-foot “Tall Vampire Lady” was already the sequel’s most popular character, the subject of countless memes and even a few…salacious mods and videos.
With the release of the game this month, Dimitrescu’s star is shining even brighter. We just can’t stop talking about our Lady. And when you hear who the developers at Capcom turned to for inspiration when creating this character, you get the sense that she was always destined for infamy, designed specifically to go viral...

The stunning details of the investigation into Activision Blizzard's "frat boy" culture have inspired players and streamers to start a serie
The recent controversy regarding the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing’s lawsuit against Activision Blizzard has prompted players and streamers to stage various forms of in-game and real-world protests.
The very short version of this story is that the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing has filed a lawsuit against game publisher Activision Blizzard following a two-year investigation into the company’s culture, practices, and policies. What they found has been described in official documents as a “pervasive frat boy workplace culture” where women, minorities, and anyone else who the practitioners of that culture deem to be outsiders are often subject to verbal and physical harassment as well as unequal treatment in terms of pay, workload, and benefits...

Should Resident Evil Village's success make you optimistic or worried about the future of Triple-A horror games?
In case you haven’t heard, Resident Evil Village is a hit. The game’s sales figures suggest it could go on to become the best-selling RE title ever, and critics and fans everywhere are ready to name Resident Evil Village one of the best games of 2021, one of the better Resident Evilgames, and even one of the best demonstrations of next-gen gaming technology so far.
If you’re looking at Resident Evil Village as a product, it’s hard not to consider the game a success even this early into its lifespan. Capcom is probably pretty happy with the game, and in many of the ways that matter most, they should be happy. Resident Evil Village is a very good game. You could even probably throw out the word “great” in many circles and not have to argue about it...

Final Fantasy 14 is growing in popularity, and its recent success may have a lot to do with World of Warcraft's shortcomings.
Over the 4th of July weekend, Final Fantasy 14 broke its concurrent players record on Steam. That record-setting weekend comes on the heels of reports that suggest Final Fantasy 14 may have more active subscribers than the apparent king of the MMORPG genre, World of Warcraft.
You can call it an anomaly, but it’s more than that. While you shouldn’t buy into the ridiculous idea that WoW is somehow dead and being replaced by Final Fantasy 14, there is certainly something happening here that goes well beyond a blip on the radar. Final Fantasy 14 is actively stealing former and current World of Warcraft players, and that trend could very well continue into the final months of 2021 and beyond...

The Mortal Kombat movie makes some big changes to the games that fans are already debating.
The Mortal Kombat movie may be one of the first true blockbusters of 2021, but for millions of fans of the games, it’s also another chance to “get it right.” Sure, 1995’s is a somewhat underrated live-action adaptation of a video game, but its irredeemable sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, left many fans doubting that we’d ever see another big-budget live-action Mortal Kombat movie much less one that comes close to capturing what makes the games special.
You can read our review of the film itself for a better look at how close the new movie comes to accomplishing that lofty goal, but suffice to say, the movie makes a lot of changes to the games it’s based on. Some of those changes were almost inevitable given the transition between storytelling mediums, while others are more…debatable...
