The discounted movies include 4K Blu-ray versions of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete and Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, which flesh out the storylines of their namesake games–as w…

The video game industry has plenty of titles that look like they were gently lifted from some other game that came before them. But few are quite as blatant about it as Mariostro Strikers Soccer League, a recent arrival on Xbox Marketplace. It could charitably be called an “homage” to Mario Strikers: Battle League, but it’s unlikely that Nintendo will let that go without a response.

Via Nintendo Life, LightGamess–with an extra “s”–is the publisher of Mariostro Strikers Soccer League, which was released January 10 on Xbox Marketplace. The description of the game adds some unexpected humor to the listing because someone seemingly forgot to put the actual name of the game in the opening paragraph and never bothered to fix the mistake.

“Dive into the thrilling world of arcade-style soccer with [Your Game Name Here]! Experience the excitement of 4v4 matches, where every player counts. With 10 unique and fun teams to choose from, you’ll dribble, pass, and shoot your way to victory while defending your goal with a skilled goalkeeper,” reads a line from the game’s official description.

The cover art for Mariostro Strikers Soccer League doesn’t reflect the art style…

When Dr. Doot took the stage on the final day of AGDQ 2025, the pressure was on. The speedrunner, whose nickname is surprisingly descriptive–he has a doctorate in music composition–was attempting a live run of Elden Ring using a digital saxophone as a controller. Beating Elden Ring’s toughest bosses via traditional methods is difficult enough, but Dr. Doot put that PhD to good use and quickly slayed the final boss, as well as the maddingly difficult optional boss Malenia.

GameSpot had the chance to chat with Dr. Doot (who wished to only use his handle rather than his real name), and we were surprised to learn how the saxophone speedruns came to be. Rather than coming about simply as another way to beat Elden Ring or Dark Souls, they were an extension of Dr. Doot’s practice on his digital instrument, the Roland Aerophone.

“The Aerophone actually became a game controller initially as a joke,” he explained. “I actually got the Aerophone to help me with my music composition, because I play saxophone. And then I found the program that you can use to translate MIDI input, which is what the saxophone sends to the computer, to [computer] keybo…

If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for a Nintendo fan who grew up during the Game Boy era, the newly released ModRetro Chromatic is one of the coolest retro gaming gadgets of 2024. The Chromatic is a modernized Game Boy Color that looks, plays, and feels like the real thing. Unlike most retro handhelds that aim to do a little bit of everything, the Chromatic is unabashedly committed to the singular goal of replicating the GBC experience as you fondly remember it. For the subset of retro gamers who crave authenticity, the Chromatic is an undeniable success. It’s also one of the best-built portable devices I’ve ever used.

There’s no shortage of retro gaming handhelds on the market today, including many that mimic Nintendo’s iconic Game Boy family. Most are emulation devices that can offer solid experiences for budget prices. But whereas most of these devices resemble the general look of the Game Boy, the Chromatic is one of the few that truly replicates the experience of playing on one. It takes “paying homage” to the next level. If you prefer original hardware, whether stock or modded, the Chromatic is the closest approximation to the Game…

After over 10 years of waiting, NCCA football finally returns with the release of EA Sports College Football 25. The game has plenty of new features and modes to experiment with, as well as returning fan favorites like Road to Glory, which once again factors academic success into playing time. In fact, doing well in school and maintaining a high-enough GPA even allows you to skip your senior-year studies altogether.

How to skip Senior Year academics

At the beginning of your freshman year, a notification pops up stating that your student-athlete can essentially graduate early if they maintain a good Grade Point Average. The only criteria required to accomplish this is to average a 3.8 GPA across your first three years.

Skipping your senior-year academic requirements allows you to focus on other aspects that influence how you play and improve. So, instead of using the limited energy points you have on academics, they can be used to raise training (XP), health, brand, or leadership.

Apex Legends Season 23: From the Rift is nearly here, and has brought with it a number of surprises, from a Titanfall grenade launcher to a total rework of one of the game’s first Legends, Lifeline. Respawn recently reaffirmed its commitment to making Apex Legends the best it can be, and 2024 has seen the game undergo numerous changes, including the introduction of enemy health bars and an intensified focus on tackling cheaters.

In light of Season 23’s major game-changers, GameSpot sat down with Respawn to pick the brains of the game’s dev team and learn more about Lifeline’s ability rework, the game’s new Rift Relics (including the aforementioned grenade launcher), and the studio’s plans for the future of Apex Legends.

The Switch has seen several HD remasters and remakes released on it lately, and if you didn’t pick up Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD at launch last month, you can get a pretty good discount on it right now. Over at Woot, you can save 25% on the game, as the retailer is offering it for the frightfully good price of $45.

Woot’s listing shows the US box art, but the URL mentions “international version,” so it’s possible you’d get an imported copy from a different region. However, this wouldn’t change the playability of the game, as the Nintendo Switch is a region-free console. The only difference here would be the ESRB rating on the box would be replaced with another region’s ratings board logo.

But back to the game itself. Originally released on the Nintendo 3DS in 2013 as Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD stars Mario’s taller brother as he finds himself in another haunted neighborhood. Fortunately, the plumber is equipped with some ghostbusting gear and can hoover up the pesky phantoms haunting Evershade Valley. This remaster updates the game for the Switch, and while the old-school tank controls do take some getting used to, Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is full of charm…
