One of the standout moments in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie was the cameo of Fox McCloud. Although there hasn’t been a new Star Fox title in nearly a decade, longtime fans of the Super NES hero recognized him and the Arwing instantly.

At Summer Game Fest this past weekend, game director Ian Proulx of 1047 Games took the stage wearing a black baseball cap adorned with the phrase “Make FPS Great Again.” The slogan, a play on the well-known campaign phrase associated with President Donald Trump, immediately sparked criticism across social media and major gaming outlets, who framed the gesture as politically charged.
The Nintendo Switch 2, successor to the third-best-selling console ever made, promised to dominate with its portable brilliance and top-tier exclusives. With Xbox losing focus and PlayStation banking on costly remakes, Nintendo seemed unstoppable—until they revealed in an April Nintendo Direct the $80 price for games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This $20 jump for a several-year-old title and ongoing shift from the pricing standards of the past has sparked outrage. Yet, the console still sold well at launch, with demand soaring.

Halo is once again participating in PRIDE month for 2025 while Reddit mods ban users for acknowledging any other themed month for June.
As June begins, a noticeable shift has taken place across the United States. Many companies that previously launched PRIDE Month campaigns with splashy cosmetics, rainbow-themed branding, and celebratory posts have gone silent. Ubisoft, Target, Starbucks, Disney, and others—companies that, in past years, would immediately swap their social media banners or offer limited-time PRIDE content—have so far stayed quiet.
Despite a high-profile crossover with Star Wars, one of the most recognizable franchises in the world, Fortnite has just recorded its lowest average monthly player count in two years.

Last week, Electronic Arts confirmed the cancellation of its Black Panther game and the closure of developer Cliffhanger Games. Now, thanks to new reporting from Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier, we finally know why the project was scrapped—and it wasn’t a creative dispute or a Marvel license issue.
