Nintendo teases new Mario Kart game for Switch 2

As a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but be thrilled when, towards the end of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal trailer, I caught a glimpse of the console running a Mario Kart game, seamlessly switching between Handheld and TV modes.

Dynasty Warriors: Origins review: Peacemaker

Origins” is arriving with a fresh take, much like its predecessors. It’s actually the tenth installment in the series, inspired by the 14th-century Chinese novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms.” However, it’s important to note that this game series often features heroes who can easily defeat dozens or even hundreds of soldiers with a single strike. But in “Origins,” the developers at Omega Force have tried something new: they’ve blended action RPG and character action game elements, giving more emphasis on storytelling.

In the new version of this game, you’ll immediately observe a significant shift in the leader selection process compared to previous versions. Previously, leaders were directly associated with specific civilizations, like Bismarck with Germany or Queen Elizabeth with England. However, in this updated edition, leaders and civilizations have been separated. This means that you can choose a leader based on their unique bonuses, such as Benjamin Franklin for science advantages, while selecting Rome as your civilization due to its militaristic culture. Although it may seem unusual to have Benjamin Franklin leading Rome, this separation allows for new possibilities that weren’t available in the past. Additionally, you might notice that Benjamin Franklin didn’t actually govern his chosen civilization; instead, he significantly impacted it. In Civilization 7, many leaders were influential figures who didn’t necessarily lead their civilizations but left a lasting impact on them.
