April 2 marked the day Ripple Prime got a thumbs-up from the grown-ups of finance: an investment-grade rating. On social media platform X, Ripple crowed about growth, execution, and that ever-elusive thing called “institutional demand,” as if the markets themselves had been holding their breath for this exact moment. Ripple stated:
Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach team up again, this time traveling beyond the galaxy to rescue Princess Rosalina from the mischievous Bowser Jr. The new Super Mario Galaxy Movie takes the adventure to a larger scale, leaving the Mushroom Kingdom behind and introducing the beloved Yoshi, who fans briefly saw in the first film. Despite featuring many familiar Super Mario characters, viewers are still hoping to see Wario, Mario’s rival, appear on screen.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
Dengeki Online also showed off 42 minutes of gameplay footage and a 10-minute preview of the animated promotional film, Sword Art Online: Unanswered//butterfly, which will be included with the game’s Ultimate Edition.
The game’s advertising highlights a detailed and immersive world, focusing on its rough edges and how you navigate them. However, that’s not the main reason we’re eager to play. We believe the gritty atmosphere of Tyndalston is perfect for a game that keeps you constantly on edge, demanding careful planning and smart choices, because mistakes have significant consequences.
This game puts you in the role of Mono, a young boy investigating a strange tower in The Pale City. The tower is sending out signals that are changing reality around him. He’s joined by Six, the girl in the yellow coat from the first game, who helps him on his journey. While the game features the same charming characters, it also introduces a lot of challenging enemies. You’ll need to be careful and strategic to overcome them and progress through the warped world.
Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X owners can now play several Assassin’s Creed games at no cost, including Mirage, Valhalla, Odyssey, Origins, and Unity. While the latest installment, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, isn’t included, many of the popular RPG-style games like Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins are available. The more traditionally styled Mirage is also part of the offer. Surprisingly, Unity is included as well, likely due to a recent update that significantly improved the gameplay experience and has reminded players how well the older game still plays.
Even though we can’t travel back to the ’90s, we can still enjoy the iconic movies from that decade. Luckily, streaming makes it easy! This month, there’s a great selection of ’90s films available, and you don’t even need a subscription to a major streaming service to watch them. Several free streaming platforms—like Tubi, Pluto TV, and Kanopy—offer a fantastic range of ’90s movies in April. We’ve put together a list of seven recommendations, including where to watch them for free.
I was so fascinated to hear Oona Chaplin talk about filming that intense Nightwraith/Ikran fight scene with Zoe Saldaña! Apparently, they only had one of the rideable puppets, so they actually took turns being thrown around! She described Zoe being on the floor, acting out the attacks, and then switching places. She said watching it back-to-back would be hilarious because it felt so silly while they were doing it, but the final scene is just breathtaking!
