Mario & Luigi RPG Series Creator AlphaDream Files For Bankruptcy
The maker of the Mario & Luigi RPG series, AlphaDream, has filed for bankruptcy.
AlphaDream is best known for its work creating detailed Mario RPG games for Nintendo's handheld consoles in which players have to control Mario and Luigi simultaneously.
The series' whimsical humour and detailed plots won fans who supported the studio through the release of five mainline instalments: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga; Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time; Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story; Mario & Luigi: Dream Team; and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.
The studio also developed the remakes Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser’s Minions, and Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story + Bowser Jr.’s Journey

Today Game Informer unveiled their latest cover story, and it’s all about the upcoming Pokemon Sword and Shield. While there are still plenty of questions surrounding the next generation of Pokemon, we finally have some new details to tide us over until November.
Pokemon Sword and Shield is just a month and a half away from being released but Game Freak is still keeping a lot of details close to the vest. Today's Game Informer cover reveals new information that directly addresses some of the most pressing questions from fans.
Here are the biggest Sword and Shield details revealed so far:
New Images of Super Nintendo World Surface
New images have surfaced of the Super Nintendo World attraction at Universal Studios Japan.
Posted by Universal Studios Japan fan account USJ Intelligence Agency on Twitter, the photos show a large tower inspired by Mario levels that specifically seems to mirror the designs of Super Mario 3D World, complete with floating cloud platforms, a ? block, and cartoon trees peeking up from behind some scaffolding.
Why Taika Waititi is Playing IG-11 Instead of IG-88 in The Mandalorian
Star Wars fans have been scouring the Holonet for information on The Mandalorian ever since the live-action show was announced, looking for clues that might connect the new Disney+ series to the wider Star Wars galaxy.

PlayStation Now Gets Big Price Cut, Adds God of War, GTA 5 to Lineup
Today Sony revealed that its PlayStation Now subscription service got a big price cut, as well as new games including God of War, Grand Theft Auto 5, and more.
Starting today, PS Now’s US price will be $9.99 a month, $24.99 for three months, or $59.99 per year - that’s down from $19.99, $49.99, and $99.99 respectively before. You can find the full list of prices for other regions in its official blog post announcing the change.
On top of that, the most recent God of War (IGN’s 2018 Game of the Year), Grand Theft Auto 5, Infamous Second Son, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End are now available through the service until January 2, 2020. Because you can play PlayStation Now games streaming on your PC, that means the three PlayStation exclusives in that list no longer require a PS4 at all to play.
