If there was one thing gamers have been waiting for, it is a mobile version of Mario Kart -- known as Mario Kart Tour, which will be sliding onto both iOS and Android on September 25.

Nintendo has unveiled pre-registrations for Mario Kart Tour, and while the game is a free-to-play title, Nintendo won't be missing out on any of that microtransaction craziness.

Mario Kart Tour will feature City Courses, which are inspired by real life locations like Tokyo and Paris. There will be special in-game events that will kick off in Mario Kart Tour, with a bunch of customization options to tune your perfect kart to battle your enemies with.

Cyberpunk 2077 won't feature a lot of the open spaces enjoyed in The Witcher 3, making it technically smaller map-wise. But it's a lot more vertical and jam-packed than Geralt's swan song.

Cyberpunk 2077 is shaping to be CD Projekt RED's best game yet. It'll have insane real-time AI, dynamic weather systems with acid rain, next-gen visuals with ray tracing and RTX support, intense FPS combat with deep RPG customization, and a robust living, breathing world full of choice and consequence. But will it be as big as The Witcher 3? Yes and no.

The game's Night City is a high-tech metropolis where crime and mayhem run rampant, and it's not as open-ended as The Witcher 3's sprawling fields and forests. Technically The Witcher 3's in-game map is bigger, but Cyberpunk 2077 takes all that space and bottles it up in a more engaging, vivid, and influential package. Night City reacts and changes as you make decisions and might have the same explorability as, say, Grand Theft Auto.

Capcom brings six handheld Mega Man games to PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC in 2020, including all four Mega Man Zero titles, Mega Man ZX, and Mega Man ZX: Advent.

Like every Japanese publisher, Capcom loves re-releasing its classic games in collections. We've already seen 10 old-school Mega Man games bundled in the Legacy Collection and now we're getting the Zero and ZX games in a $30 SKU. The new Mega Man Zero/ZX Collection sports six games and will launch both physically and digitally on all platforms, complete with save states, original graphics and HD smoothing options, a global easy mode to soften up the platforming chaos, and a new Z Chaser challenge mode that could allow gamers to share high scores online.

This collection will be a major part of Capcom's rather thin FY2019 games slate. Capcom's only AAA project this fiscal year is the huge Monster Hunter World: Iceborne expansion. The rest should be smaller titles and re-releases like this new Mega Man one as Capcom ramps up its new projects for next-generation consoles.

UPDATE: Disney confirmed the news with a new trailer, and the dual-pack will include save states, upscaled (but not remastered) graphics, full versions of every game on every released platform, and will release on October 29 for $30.

Authentic Game Content with Modern Improvements - Fans old and new can enjoy the original game builds, upscaled graphics, customizable controls, special filters for visual enhancement and more.

● Variety of Game Versions - The collection includes multiple playable platform versions of the games including their Sega Genesis, Game Boy and Super Game Boy releases, as well as The Lion King Super Nintendo Entertainment System version.

With over a dozen game studios now under its Xbox division's belt, Microsoft may stop acquiring new devs for a while.

Microsoft's aggressive studio buyouts are set to slow down as the company gears up for the next-gen Xbox console, Project Scarlett. The company currently has over a dozen separate teams under its new first-party Microsoft Studios Global Publishing banner, including new E3 additions like Double Fine, and all of them are working on new projects. (343 is working on Halo 6, Playground might be making Fable 4, Obsidian is crafting new RPGs, and The Coalition is crafting Gears 5).

There's a lot of cooks in the Xbox kitchen right now and instead of adding more chefs, Microsoft wants to see what kinds of dishes its current teams can bake for its cross-platform gaming brand.

Battlefront II's dreaded lootbox controversy was a teaching moment for DICE, and the studio admits it was their lowest point in history.

Both EA and DICE have learned a lot from Battlefront II's lootbox fiasco. Before Battlefront II's release in 2017 we predicted lootboxes and microtransactions, which came true. The game was massively criticized for its intense over-monetization and pay-to-win mechanics. It even got the attention of Washington, with some legislators calling it an exploitative online casino.

DICE knew they had messed up, and now studio design director Dennis Branvall admits it was their rock-bottom moment. "We hit rock bottom in terms of player sentiment but now it's climbing every month," Branvall told GamesIndustry.biz.

SpaceX's Starhopper vehicle was scheduled to conduct its test run today when it had to be canceled due to one of the engines on the hopper malfunctioning.

Starhopper is the single engine version of the SpaceX Starship and is the craft Musk and his team designed to eventually take people around the Moon and Mars. According to the team, the hopper's 150 meter test flight and landing was aborted due to one of the gines on the hopper not igniting. Elon Musk Tweeted and said "Igniters need to be inspected. We will try again tomorrow same time."

Musk then followed up with another tweet explaining the malfunction in more detail, saying "Raptor uses dual redundant torch igniters. Better long-term, but more finicky in development. Appears to be a wiring/connector issue " Another flight schedule hasn't been booked as of yet as the SpaceX team is currently evaluating what is needed to be done before a test flight can commence.

Netflix is predominately a streaming platform, but by no means does that mean its physical-based media service is dead and buried. The company actually recently achieved a new milestone its now celebrating.

Originally, Netflix was only a physical media service and since the 21 year old delivery services massive adoption in online streaming, the company is still moving heaps of physical media units. According to DVD Netflix Twitter account, "5,000,000,000 shipments" have been made, the 5 billionth disc was Rocketman.

Back in 2011, the subscribers were sitting at 14 million and by the end of this year it fell to a staggering 2.4 million. In comparison to online streaming subscribers, Netflix is currently sitting at around 151 million streaming customers.

The debate for whether or not artificial intelligence will impact us positively in the future is a debate that has been going for quite some time now. Many scientists have come out for and against artificial intelligence, but what if we were to predict the future of it? and can we?

Dr James Lovelock believes he can and that he can already see the fall of humanity being a result of the artificial intelligence development that would eventually come into cyborgs taking over the entire human race. In Lovelock's most recent publication "Novacene", Lovelock describes that these cyborgs will not meld to human needs and instead replace us as rulers of Earth and convert the planet into their needs.

Lovelock also believes that this will be the natural way of things as its essential that 'knowledge' is passed onto the next stage of intelligent life. "We are now preparing to hand the gift of knowing on to new forms of intelligent beings." This hypothesis is built from Lovelock's belief of their not being any intelligent life located on other planets.

Facebook is at it again with another app attempt at trying to kill off Snapchat, this time round reports have said that Facebook and Instagram are internally testing a new app called "Threads" which is designed for close friends.

According to The Verge, Instagram has been testing this "Threads" app which is "designed to promote constant, automatic sharing between users." On The Verge article they have posted mock-up screenshots which indicate that the app will be focused around a singular feed where friends can view each others 'stories' or 'statuses'.

The Verge also states that the app will work as a companion to your Instagram account, and will invite users to "share their location, speed, and battery life with friends, along with more typical text, photo, and video messages using Instagram's creative tools". This app will ultimately be designed at communication between your close friends on Instagram, which means it falls a direct competitor to Snapchat who says they are the app for "real friends".

It was only last month when we heard about Warner Bros. casting Joe Taslim to play iconic Mortal Kombat character Sub-Zero, and now we have two more actors added to the list.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Meg's Jessica McNamee will be stepping into the shoes of Sonya Blade and Australian actor Josh Lawson will be playing the ruthless Kano. The Hollywood Reporter also says that British actor Lewis Tan (Deadpool 2) is currently in talks about taking the lead role, but the character that he would be playing has yet to be disclosed.

Screenwriter Greg Russo announced last month that this reboot of Mortal Kombat will be the most brutal one yet, as the film will be R-rated and feature the games' famous fatalities on-screen. His tweet reads: "Since it's already been stated by other members of the team, I'm gonna put this one to bed. MK WILL be R-Rated and for the first time EVER, FATALITIES will FINALLY be on the big screen (and no I'm not gonna say which ones) You'll just have to wait for the movie & see!!!"

The official gameplay video that was shown behind closed doors at E3 2019 and Gamescom 2019 has been released online, giving us a fresh look at the coming Dying Light 2.

The above video has been released onto the official Dying Light YouTube Channel, it runs us through a scenario where the player needs to travel to a city to speak with a colonel regarding the current state of the drinking water. Throughout the journey to the city we see some damn slick gameplay of the player running, jumping, evading enemies, picking and choosing fights smart, and most gloriously, the parkour system.

In Dying Light 2 the player is constantly thrown into scenarios where him/her is forced to choose an outcome. Picking an outcome creates a cascade like effect throughout the rest of the game, influencing future decisions and sometimes effecting past ones. An example of this is when the player is forced to choose between leaving his friend 'Frank' or staying to make sure his wounds heal. In the video the player leaves and continues on with his mission, he is then radioed in with the news that Frank died from his wounds which has then raised the stakes for the mission even more.

Back in 2017, the internet was on flames regarding the push to ban Apu from The Simpson's under 'stereotyping' a specific race. While many people were quite divided on the issue, we now have confirmation that Apu will not be leaving us.

Variety has reported that when speaking to Matt Groening, The Simpson's creator, about Apu and whether or not the character will be written out of the show, he responded with "Yes. We love Apu. We're proud of Apu." On top of this, Groening says he takes the matter "Very seriously" and that "I don't want to offend people but we also want to be funny. We don't want to be totally politically correct. That has never been us. It's given us a lot of thought."

Back in 2018, Groening commented on the outrage about Apu, saying "People love to pretend they're offended" and that this is just another "outrage of the week". "I think particularly right now, people feel so aggrieved and crazed and powerless that they're picking the wrong battles." 30 Seasons of The Simpson's will be available on Disney+ once it releases, as well as a bunch of other content - more on that here.

The U.S military has no shortage of classified projects going underway, and some of those projects range out into the depths of space through vehicle or flight tests.

We have recently heard about one of these classified projects, and the news comes from the U.S Air Force regarding their 'X-37B' Space Plane. While this plane's missions are exclusively classified, the U.S Air Force has discussed its achievements in general terms for the public, saying "he primary objectives of the X-37B are twofold; reusable spacecraft technologies for America's future in space and operating experiments which can be returned to, and examined, on Earth".

The space plane recently broke the endurance test record set by the Orbital Test Vehicle 4 (OTV-4). The X-37B launched on the back of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, and now has broken the OTV-4's endurance mark of 717 days, 20 hours and 42 minutes. It seems that the U.S Air Force is attempting to stretch the mission longevity as long as possible, as each of the test flights has lasted much longer than its predecessor. The dimensions for the X-37B are 29 feet long, 9.6 feet tall and a wing span of about 15 feet.

Video games composer Jeremy Soule, described as the John Williams of game music, has been accused of raping an independent developer.

Nathalie Lawhead, the indie dev behind Tetrageddon Games, says she was raped by Skyrim composer Jeremy Soule while working on a hellish ARG project. The following is based on Lawhead's story.

"On November 4 2008 I was contacted by a studio in Vancouver to design and build an ARG for their new IP. I talked about my experiences of working with this company before. For example, in this post."

Qualcomm is expected to unveil its new Snapdragon 865 processor later this year, its new SoC to power next-gen flagship 2020 smartphones, but Snapdragon 875 will be right around the corner in 2021.

The latest on the Snapdragon 875 is that TSMC will be handling the manufacturing on its new 5nm node, compared to the upcoming Snapdragon 865 that will be made on the 7nm EUV process over at Samsung. We are to expect an integrated 5G modem on the new Snapdragon 865, something that we'll be detailed on in the coming months.

Snapdragon 875 on the other hand should be an all-5G chip on the new 5nm node from TSMC, so we should expect an insane 171.3 million transistors per square millimeter, which kinda blows my mind.

The largest bust of fentanyl might have just taken place by the Mexican government, with local media reporting that a major fentanyl bust just went down in the Mexican port city of Lázaro Cárdenas in the state of Michoacán.

The bust was absolutely huge, with local media reporting that the Mexican government announced they had seized 25 tons (23,368 kilograms, or 51,517 pounds) of fentanyl. The origin was Shanghai, China with the gigantic fentanyl shipment headed to Culiacán, Sinaloa which is where the Sinaloa Cartel is based.

Mexican authorities found the fentanyl inside of a container of a Danish flagged vessel, which saw its cargo manifest listing the contents of the cargo as Calcium Chloride. Well, that was a lie - it was reportedly fentanyl, with authorities taking a small sampling to a "specialized laboratory of Mexican Customs and the substance later tested positive for fentanyl" reports Breitbart.
