A copyright listing for the upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie has seemingly revealed that Nintendo has established new production companies for its expansion into visual content.

A recent post on the ResetEra gaming forum highlighted a US copyright catalogue listing for Illumination's Super Mario Bros. movie, which was initially spotted by Twitter user @MichaelO2k. The database lists the various parties involved in the film's production, including "Nintendo Studios, LLC" and "M Brothers Productions, LLC" amongst several others.

There are copyright records for the Illumination Mario movie, which have the expected companies listed, but there's also new companies: "Nintendo Studios, LLC" and "M Brothers Productions, LLC". Guessing these are the studios Nintendo will be listing their movies under pic.twitter.com/IydjzrkLyH

Some have speculated that Nintendo has set up these companies as part of its visual content expansion initiative, perhaps signalling that more projects will be announced in this space in the future, while others have pointed out that it's standard procedure for movies to have its own LLC for legal reasons and that it may be strictly for the Super Mario Bros. movie.

Nintendo is already said to be exploring animation projects beyond Super Mario, with early reports suggesting Seth Rogen will be getting his own Donkey Kong movie. That project is reportedly already in the works at Illumination — the same animation studio that is working on the Super Mario Bros. movie, starring Chris Pratt as everyone's favorite Italian plumber.

Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has also recognized the opportunity to increase engagement with Nintendo's IPs by turning more of its games into movies, though he remains focused on the CG-animated Super Mario movie for now. Miyamoto announced in April that the movie had been pushed back to next spring but promised that it will be "well worth the wait."

The Summer Game Fest showcase is "primarily focused" on already announced games and will only feature "a couple of new game announcements".

Presenter Geoff Keighley shared the news on Twitter in an audio stream transcribed by Video Games Chronicle, during which he told fans to "definitely manage your expectations" ahead of the E3-style showcase, which features games from multiple developers and publishers.

"We’ve got a couple of new game announcements in the show and hopefully some surprises if everything holds," Keighley said, "but it definitely is a show that’s primarily focused on stuff that is announced.

"We’re doing some good stuff for you but definitely manage your expectations in terms of the megaton shocks that you’re expecting. This is not The Game Awards. We’ve got lots of good stuff to show you but buyer beware of some of the crazy rumours I’m seeing out there in terms of things people expect to get announced."

Keighley insisted that Summer Game Fest will still have great announcements, of course, using the Elden Ring trailer and release date revealed last year as an example of how new information about an already announced game can be just as exciting as something brand new.

Keighley also confirmed Dead Space's spiritual successor The Callisto Protocol would make an appearance alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Gotham Knights, Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course, and Fortnite.

Alongside the Elden Ring release date, last year's Summer Game Fest revealed Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Metal Slug Tactics, Death Stranding Director's Cut, and more.

This year's edition takes place on June 9 at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern / 7pm UK (so June 10 at 4am AEST) and can be viewed live on IGN as part of our Summer of Gaming.

Microsoft has announced that there will be a second Xbox Games Showcase, airing just two days after the main showcase taking place on June 12.

Xbox Games Showcase Extended will take place on June 14, starting at 10am PT. A new post on the Xbox Wire blog promises new trailers, deeper looks at the news revealed as part of the main Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, and interviews with developers. The show will clock in at 90 minutes, and so there's another hour and a half to add to your not-E3 calendar.

As ever, IGN will be covering it all, so expect full details right here for both the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase 2022 and the newly-announced extended show. This will be the second year in a row that Xbox has done an extended showcase; last year, just days after the main showcase, Xbox showed more from Hellblade 2, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5, and many more. If this year's extended showcase is just as packed, then we could have some exciting extra news on our hands.

For everything else across this period, check out our Summer of Gaming 2022 schedule, which will help you keep on track over the next couple of weeks. There's 13 shows still to come, so there's surely plenty of announcements on the way.

A GoldenEye 007 remaster on Xbox appears more and more likely, as Microsoft now has the game's achievements listed on its official website.

As spotted by Video Games Chronicle, industry insider @Wario64 on Twitter shared the achievements (below) and a link to their listing online, with the webpage still functioning as normal as of the time of writing.

Both single and multiplayer objectives are listed for the beloved game – which was originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1997 – with GoldenEye 007 granting players 1,000 Gamerscore in total, as is the norm for fully-fledged games.

A remaster has been long-rumoured, and all but confirmed time and time again – most recently in January when Xbox achievement tracking website TrueAchievements also listed the game. An updated version of the original GoldenEye 007 was confirmed to be in development for the Xbox 360's Live Arcade at developer Rare but was cancelled due to licensing issues, and files for the game leaked online in February 2021.

It's been a long time since we received a fully-fledged Bond game, but we seem to be seeing a loosening of the famously tight restrictions on the license. Along with a seeming return to GoldenEye, Hitman developer Io Interactive is also working on Project 007, a totally original new story for the super-spy. We think the developer is a perfect fit for the franchise.

For the third time, a War Thunder player has leaked classified military intel on the game's forums in response to, in this case, ammo for Chinese tanks not being accurate enough.

As reported by UK Defense Journal (via PC Gamer), a user uploaded an image of the DTC10-125 tungsten penetrator and a technical doc containing its specifications because they were angry about some small inaccuracies.

The part in question is a "high-velocity, non-explosive 125mm sabot round fired by the Chinese Type 96 and Type 99 MBTs" and is considered "one of the [People's Liberation Army's] main tank killing rounds."

This leak, which very well could be considered treason, follows similar leaks on War Thunder's forums that revealed classified information on the British Challenger 2 and French Leclerc main battle tanks. What sets this apart, however, is that it appears to have been entirely unnecessary.

Nobleman Swerve on ResetERA said this crime was for naught as the assets used in-game of the round in question are not representative of the final product.

"The game recently closed a publicly accessible development server that previewed the upcoming content drop," they wrote. "The thing about these dev servers is that the values for things such as armor, penetration, or flight models are usually placeholders subject to change on final release.

"So what happens was the developer added this shell to the server, but copy/pasted the values of the previous version as a placeholder. This poster saw this, flipped out, and went ahead and posted treason to correct what are publicly communicated as placeholder values."

Either way, the post has been removed by War Thunder developer Gaijin Entertainment, and the team has once again pleaded to its community to not commit criminal acts on its forums.

"Our community managers immediately banned the user and deleted his post, as the information on this particular shell is still classified in China," the studio said in an email to PC Gamer. "Publishing classified information on any vehicle of any nation at War Thunder forums is clearly prohibited, and the game developers never use it in their work.

"While we understand that our players want the game to be as realistic as possible, we're kindly asking them not to do anything illegal and jeopardize their safety, as well as safety of our community team members. The developers of War Thunder do their best to research information on vehicles using legally available tools, and scandals like this are clearly not useful for our efforts."

Top Gun: Maverick has earned its second domestic weekend box office victory by earning $86 million in ticket sales, which has ranked it in the top 10 highest-grossing second weekends in domestic box office history.

As reported by Variety, Top Gun: Maverick has now soared to $291 million in North America and has officially become Tom Cruise's highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office. Furthermore, the film only dropped 32% from its $160 million opening weekend and has now seen, according to Comscore, the "smallest second-weekend decline for a movie that opened to $100 million or more."

For comparison, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness declined 67% in their second weekends and The Batman dropped 50%.

Internationally, Top Gun: Maverick has crossed $257 million and has done its part to help the film reach $548 million globally.

Maverick had little in the way of competition, but David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future did have a limited release and it brought in $1.1 million from 773 theaters domestically. Maverick, on the other hand, was playing in 4,751 theaters.

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness took second place with $9.3 million domestically, bringing its global tally to $909.4 million globally.

Alongside revealing the first poster, Disney has confirmed that I Am Groot will officially be released on Disney+ on August 10, 2022.

I Am Groot is a series of original animated shorts that look to follow "Baby Groot's glory days growing up, and getting into trouble among the stars."

As for the poster, we get a look at Baby Groot "chilling out with his favorite tunes" and a delicious-looking beverage that comes complete with a mini umbrella. The poster also features two adorable little four-eyed aliens that look to be holding a palm tree air freshener of sorts.

I Am Groot was first announced at Disney's Investor Day 2020, and Vin Diesel will be returning to voice this leafiest member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

These shorts will be the beginning of the big push towards Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which is set to be released in theaters on May 5, 2023. Before then, however, fans will also be treated to The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special sometime in 2022.

Oh, Groot and the Guardians will also have a big part to play in Thor: Love and Thunder, which will be released in theaters on July 8, 2022.
