Don't Revive Your Friends

 The Nintendo Direct gave us our first glimpse of Bayonetta 3. The game was first announced back in 2017 and sort of unheard of ever since. We knew it was in development but was not sure how far along it has been. The trailer was shown at the end of the Nintendo Direct and it looks chaotic. Lots of action you've come to expect from Bayonetta. Combos galore, morphing costume changes and big arena fights. Check out the gameplay here: Those were...Giant...Kaiju? And she fought them with her own Giant Kaiju?! Pretty crazy if you ask me.  Bayonetta 3 will be released in 2022.

Did you know that Mario is coming out with a fully animated movie in theaters? If you didn't, SUPRISE! Mario is coming to the big screen in 2022. There's a twist. The cast is insane. If you're having trouble comprehending this, don't worry, so is everyone else. Chris Pratt, better known as Star-Lord, is Mario. Mario. The Italian plumber famous for his "wahoo" and "yah" noises.

It will be interesting to find out how this all comes together including the story as well as the characters. We shall see in 2022.

That's not all so no frets here. The new tier includes new content: Nintendo 64 games AND Sega Genesis games on the online service.  The Genesis games were completely unexpected and include: Ecco The Dolphin, Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Phantasy IV and Ristar.  N64 games will, of course, have Mario 64, The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time, Pokémon Snap and Mario Kart 64. You will be able to play the Nintendo 64 games with multiplayer either locally or online. No more screen cheating! Be prepared to burn the palms of your hands once again because Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis controllers will also be released for Switch Online members for 49.99 each. It's nice if you want to play the games with the control scheme they were originally designed for. The new membership price increase has not been
