Modern Color 8-Bit Mario Amiibo is Walmart Exclusive
The more modern chic version of the 30th Anniversary Super Mario Amiibo is a Walmart exclusive.
The Amiibo is now shown on the Walmart site, and is set to release on November 27, otherwise known as Black Friday.
The "Classic" 30th Anniversary Mario sported a brown-and-red outfit reminiscent of his original 8-bit Super Mario Bros. The "Modern" version swaps out his brown overalls for blue. It's been available in Europe and Australia since late October, but Nintendo saved its U.S. release for the biggest shopping day of the year. If you haven't already imported it, next week will be your shot.

Worlds Adrift: The Most Ambitious Pirate Game Since Black Flag
Somewhere between the endless, empty oblivion below, and the untouched expanse sky in front, I was engulfed by the potential of Worlds Adrift. London-based developer Bossa Studios, best known for the humorous I Am Bread, where maneuvering a piece of bread is a daunting task, has built upon this excellent physics-based framework. But Worlds Adrift, ditches the family kitchen for a fractured world of floating islands, populated by nomadic sky pirates -- players whose only aim is to build a ship, recruit a crew, and own the skies.
Worlds Adrift is one of the most ambitious physics game I’ve ever seen.
When I sat down with the developers of Worlds Adrift, they told me stories of floating battleships raining cannon fire upon one another. Players who take flight, board enemy ships, and sabotage them by disabling the hovering devices that keep them aloft, then fly away as the lumbering giants crash into the dots of land that take up such little space in the endless sky.
Watch Every Trailer for The Hunger Games Movies
Lionsgate's beloved blockbuster film franchise The Hunger Games comes to an end with the November 20th release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2.
The film series, based on Suzanne Collins' bestselling book trilogy, began in 2012 with the release of the Gary Ross-directed The Hunger Games, and was followed the following year by The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
That second installment's director, Francis Lawrence, returned to helm the two-part finale, Mockingjay. The Hunger Games movies have so far grossed roughly $1.2 billion at the worldwide box office. Clearly, the odds were ever in their favor.
In anticipation of Friday's release of Mockingjay, Part 2, let's take a look back at all the many cool trailers for the Hunger Games films as we bid farewell to Katniss Everdeen on the big screen.

Rooney Mara Says She’s Still in Dragon Tattoo Sequel
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo may be getting a reboot, but Rooney Mara, who starred in the 2011 take on the book series, says she’s still involved in the big-screen franchise.
“As far as I know I’m doing it until someone tells me otherwise,” Mara told E! Online. “I’m doing it unless someone tells me that I’m not—and then I still might do it.”
Mara has previously lamented that a sequel didn’t appear to be “in the cards.” She and Daniel Craig were set to star in a sequel called The Girl Who Played With Fire, but the film was delayed back in 2012.
Gambit Movie Is a ‘Sexy Thriller’ and Heist Movie
While specific plot details remain unknown, some new information from Gambit producer Simon Kinberg gives us some hints about the upcoming comic book movie.
Comparing it to 2016's Deadpool, Kinberg explains the film starring Channing Tatum as the Cajun mutant will have its own identity separate from the other X-Men films.
“The X-Men movies are dramatic and almost operatic, whereas Deadpool is irreverent and hysterical and sort of a dirty R-rated comedy in many ways," Kinberg told Collider.
Ian McShane Hints at Major Game of Thrones Spoiler
Ian McShane can't say much about his role in Game of Thrones: Season 6, but a new interview with the British actor offered a sense of what else he could be bringing to the show.
Warning: Spoilers for Season 6 continue below.
McShane was in Mexico to promote his new film The Hollow Point, and was asked about his Game of Thrones role by website Pop Goes the News. With the promise of giving "one hint," McShane shared that his character is "responsible for bringing somebody back that you think you’re never going to see again. I’ll leave it at that.”
Few details have been revealed about who McShane is playing. Entertainment Weekly cited sources saying McShane's character has a "relatively small amount" of screen time but is of "key importance." His initial casting led fans to speculate that he could be playing Euron Greyjoy or Randyll Tarly, but those roles have been filled by Pilou Asbæk and James Faulkner, respectively.
