Let's be honest, we've all wondered what it would be like to see some kind of Super Smash Bros. brawl in the real world. Admittedly, Rhianna did come close with her recent Super Bowl staging, but the distinct lack of Nintendo IP was a little disappointing.

Creatures of Sonaria, a popular mini-game featured in Roblox, is being made into a TV series.

Five of the Best is a weekly series we recently resurrected for supporters because we wanted to do something nice for them. It's a series about highlighting incidental features in games. It's also a series about having your say, so don't be shy, use those comments below!

The Game Boy Advance SP was forward-thinking in a lot of ways. It featured a frontlit (later changed to be backlit) screen that has since become standard, and a highly portable clamshell design that paved the way for Nintendo DS. But its marketing here in the UK now looks more than a little more dated.

The original Metroid Prime is one of the most beloved games of all time, adapting the classic 2D Metroid formula into a full 3D open-ended world on GameCube. The game pushed visual boundaries, with dense, moody environments and a solid 60fps frame-rate target. More than 20 years on, the Switch remaster is here: a complete visual remake of the source material, retaining the same gameplay but with radically overhauled graphics and modern controls. Metro Prime Remastered ought to be the best way to experience this legendary title in the modern era, but how does it compare to the GameCube and Wii versions, what's the story with performance - and is anything left out?

Wanted: Dead's marketing materials describe it as a "love letter to the sixth generation of consoles", aka PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. It's the work of veterans from that period - developer Soleil was founded by Tecmo alumnus Takayuki Kikuchi, whose credits include the first Ninja Gaiden. The funny thing about loving something is that it can go hand-in-hand with extensive and lingering dislike, and I do not like a lot of Wanted: Dead. I do not like bolted-on pseudo-Gearsy shooting, wave-based encounters that routinely slaughter you just before a checkpoint, or storytelling that is 70 percent goofing around with regurgitated cop movie stereotypes. I do not like campaign design that seems to exist mostly in the service of one-off vignettes and Easter eggs. I do not like these things at all. But I do kind of love them.

I dream of bicycles.

Last week, I said that episode four of The Last of Us was clearly setting the stage for something bigger, and, oh boy, was I right.

The demo for Radio the Universe in Steam Next Fest is a genuinely transporting piece of work. I played it, and while I played it, I was somewhere else entirely. Somewhere glitchy and twitchy, inspired by Giger's wet metal insectoid surfaces, sure, but also VHS tapes, dial-up modems, Zelda, and the New York City Subway. It's a surprisingly generous demo and for a large part of it I was afraid I was lost. I never doubted, though, that I was well cared for. This game is going to be very special.

Creative Assembly has reached out to Total War: Warhammer 3 fans, promising that details about "new content" are on the way.
