The New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe received the Digital Trends Editors’ Choice award for offering some of the best 2D platforming on Nintendo Switch. It is one of the most dynamic and inventive Mario sidescrollers ever. This game keeps you on your toes with continuously changing gameplay, obstacles, and enemies with each passing level. You might even find yourself revisiting the impeccably designed large stages to see if you can secure any hard-to-reach gold coins you missed on your first go.

Players of all skill levels can enjoy the New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, thanks to the introduction of the new playable characters. Kids who are learning how to play will enjoy Nabbit, a character who cannot take damage from enemies. There is also Toadette who can power up into super-floaty Peachette.

But if you want more of a challenge, you can play the B-side New Super Luigi U. It is similar to the New Super Mario Bros. U but with a 100-second time limit. It tests your reflexes and ability to make moves on the fly. Aside from the time constraint, the levels are also made more nerve-wracking by removing the checkpoint flags. So if you die during the boss fight, you will have to start back to the beginning.

Enjoy hours of 2D platforming fun with the New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. Get yourself a copy on Amazon now for only $50 instead of its usual $60. Place your order now before this $10 discount runs out.

Sony is helping bury physical games, and preservation is being left to clean up the mess

A reported 2028 cutoff for PS5 discs gives the industry a deadline it still doesn’t seem ready to handle.

Sony’s reported plan to stop producing PS5 discs in 2028 would push PlayStation deeper into a digital-first future, where access depends on licenses, storefront policy, and platform support lasting longer than companies usually promise.

That’s tidy for Sony and ugly for game preservation. Physical media was never a perfect archive, but removing it before a serious replacement exists turns the survival of old games into someone else’s emergency. It also raises questions about long-term ownership, resale rights, and whether players can truly rely on purchases to remain accessible decades later.

In this economy, Cinder City is asking for 64GB RAM. The rest of its PC specs are even weirder. [Update]

Remember when 16GB RAM was enough?

Update: After our story went live, the team behind Cinder City reached out to clarify that the 64GB RAM recommendation was simply a mistake. The Steam page has since been updated to recommend 32GB of RAM instead. As also shared on Steam, the team noted that the current specs are based on an in-development build, and the final system requirements at launch could end up being lower than what's currently listed. So, no, you probably don't need to start shopping for another 32GB RAM kit just yet. The original story is as follows.

For years, PC gamers have joked that game developers treat hardware requirements like a shopping list. Cinder City might have just taken that joke a little too seriously. The game's newly listed recommended PC specs ask for a whopping 64GB of RAM. That's a figure that's raising eyebrows because almost everything else on the list looks surprisingly… normal.
