Fever dream. Mario Tennis Fever arrives on Switch 2 this week, and to mark the occasion, Nintendo has released the game's action-packed opening movie. You'll find the full cutscene above, which shows Mario and Bowser locked in a bitter back-and-forth on the court with Peach and Daisy.

Teens request the rides on their own, but parents can keep an eye on things every step of the way. Lyft says that parents or guardians can see every ride in real time and manage the account. They also get updates at pickup and drop-off and the app allows communication with the driver when needed. This is a ri...

Venture fourth. The latest UK charts are in, and what do you know, there are a few newcomers sprinkled into the mix this time.

As that cartoon lion once famously sang before killing his uncle and shagging his cousin, I just can't wait to be king! It's not a sentiment I was expecting to be writing when I first fired up The Sims 4's latest major expansion, Royalty & Legacy - I'm hardly what you'd call an enthusiastic monarchist - but here I now am, several hours in; scheming and extorting my way to the top, drunk on unearned power.

Fallout 76 has been in a pretty good place since 2020's Wastelanders update, which added NPCs and entirely new questlines to the once-barren online survival game. Since then, it's become more of a full-blown multiplayer RPG with a strong diehard community even if not every Fallout fan vibes with the basic pitch. Why don't we have crossplay though?
