Nintendo and Illumination just released the final trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, giving fans a longer look at the story and showcasing more of the film’s characters. Illumination CEO Chris Meledandri also revealed the voice actor for Yoshi: Donald Glover. Described as a very talented performer and a big Nintendo enthusiast, Glover’s casting came as a surprise and is already generating excitement online.

One of the most famous lines from Star Trek first came from a frustrated doctor on March 9th, 1967. In the Original Series episode “The Devil in the Dark,” Dr. Leonard McCoy said the first version of “I’m a doctor, not a…” While the line appeared nearly six decades ago, it has continued to surface throughout the franchise, including in TNG, DS9, Voyager, and later series. Surprisingly, the joke has been less common in recent Star Trek shows, with the last known instance appearing in the 2022 episode “A Quality of Mercy” from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

2027 is shaping up to be an incredible year for romantasy fans, and that’s saying a lot given how popular the genre has become in recent years. With new books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series already planned, the momentum is expected to continue. However, one upcoming release has the potential to make 2027 truly exceptional – possibly the biggest year yet for romantasy readers.

DC’s New 52 initiative had a rocky start and ultimately didn’t succeed, but the Batman comic run (Vol. 2) by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo (with contributions from James Tynion IV and Jock) consistently delivered quality stories. Their take on the Joker, beginning with hints in “Death in the Family,” reached a peak with the “Endgame” storyline. This arc felt like a fresh and exciting new direction for the character, bringing together plot threads from throughout the New 52. Unfortunately, the end of the New 52 meant those promising ideas weren’t fully explored, and the Joker’s stories eventually fell back into familiar patterns.

Currently, the new releases are only available in Japan, as Viz Media hasn’t yet translated the sequel series. Along with Volume 3 of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, a special coloring book will be released on the same day. This book features 36 illustrations by creator Gege Akutami, focusing on the Hidden Inventory/Premature Death and Shibuya Incident arcs, which were both part of Season 2. This information was shared by @Go_Jover on X, a trusted source for updates on the series.

Sylvester Stallone revealed on Instagram that he’s returning to the Rambo universe, but in a different role. He won’t be playing John Rambo himself this time. Instead, a new prequel titled John Rambo is in the works, focusing on Rambo’s experiences in Vietnam and the events that deeply affected him. Stallone will be an executive producer on the film and shared that he’s thrilled about bringing more action to fans.

Basically, this product is a large statue of the main characters sitting on a Dreamcast console. It took a long time to make and deliver, and unfortunately, the statue wasn’t very well made.

Good news for fans: Mortal Kombat II appears to be a step up from the first movie. The trailers suggest the filmmakers heard the criticisms of the original and made significant changes. Here are five ways the sequel looks to be better.

Many popular game franchises, including Diablo and Fallout, started as computer role-playing games (CRPGs). These early games often felt like digital versions of tabletop games. While many older CRPGs are now overlooked, they paved the way for successful series, and modern CRPGs are now considered the best examples of the genre. They stand out thanks to complex gameplay, detailed character development, and stories where player choices really matter.

I’m seeing a rumor going around online that Final Fantasy 16 and Dragon’s Dogma 2 are going to be the big games featured in an upcoming showcase. If that’s true, it sounds like it’ll be one of the most exciting lineups we’ve seen in a while!
