We did it, everyone! We made it through the opening week of The Super Mario Bros. Movie<\/strong> and still live to tell the tale.<\/p>\n

Yes, this week finally saw the release of the hotly anticipated Nintendo and Illumination co-production and was it worth the wait? Well, sort of. While we certainly had mixed feelings in our review<\/a>, the stellar box office<\/a> is proof of the film’s undeniable mass appeal. We have been breaking down our favourite references<\/a>, asking if there is a post-credits scene<\/a>, and keeping an eye on that all-important merch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But we haven’t been solely<\/em> looking at Mario this week, oh no. We also got a chance to go hands-on<\/a> with Advance Wars 1+2: Re-boot Camp<\/a>, looked ahead to Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster<\/a> after getting a firm release date<\/a> and quizzed you all on poorly-described games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s been a slightly quieter one in the world of reviews this week, but we still had a great time with Lunark<\/a>, “a love letter to cinematic platforming<\/a>“, and struggled through Batora: Lost Haven<\/a> which we thought played it a little too safe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some of our wonderful team have now come together to share what they are up to this weekend in the world of gaming. Whether you are off to the cinema or getting in some good game time, we would love for you to get involved too! Have a read through our plans and then take to the comments to let us know yours.<\/p>\n
