     Valheim Mistlands update makes the biome safer – but not the ballista

Valheim Mistlands update 0.212.9 has arrived on the public test branch for the viking survival game, and it aims to make the dangerous biome a little safer to explore - though it won't make ballistas any less dangerous to be around, despite some player outcry. The Valheim Mistlands update arrived on public servers on December 6 after several weeks in public testing, and players have been terrorised by the region's Seekers and flying Gjalls ever since.

Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Switch Ps4

The ESRB ratings were correct: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Switch and PS4 versions are real. They're coming relatively soon. An announcement from Square Enix confirmed that the once PC and mobile-exclusive series is headed to consoles. Their release window is in Spring 2023, putting their release date between March 2023 and June 2023. Square Enix will sell the games both individually and as a single bundle.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Switch and PS4 versions will have the same games as released on PC. These include:

  • Final Fantasy
  • Final Fantasy II
  • Final Fantasy III
  • Final Fantasy IV
  • Final Fantasy V
  • Final Fantasy VI

As on PC, all six games feature new graphical treatments. Unlike previous ports and rereleases of classic NES and SNES-era Final Fantasy games, the Pixel Remaster line's art style emphasizes the pixel art. It is closer to the original look of the older titles. Updated user interface elements and convenience features like auto-battle and quick-saves are also present.

The Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster PS4 and Switch versions will also get a limited physical release, called the Final Fantasy I-VI Pixel Remaster - FF35th Anniversary Edition. The release celebrates the 35-year history of the franchise. It collects all six Pixel Remaster console editions, with additional bonuses in an "Anniversary Edition Goods Box". The box contains:

  • A bonus lenticular sleeve for the game case
  • A 2-disc vinyl record set with newly arranged game music. The set also has exclusive cover artwork by Kazuko Shibuya.
  • An art book that focuses on the pixel character art.
  • Eight pixel art character figurines.

The 35th Anniversary package is limited, and will be sold only through the Square Enix Store.

The Switch and PS4 versions of Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster go on sale in Spring 2023. The PC versions are available via Steam.

Japan's Super Mario Bros Movie Happy Meal Toys Spin a Lot

The McDonald's in Japan showed off the The Super Mario Bros Movie Happy Meal toys that will be available in each meal. The toys will be available for a limited time from December 23, 2022. Not every McDonald's in Japan will have them. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

In total, there will be eight The Super Mario Bros Movie Happy Meal toys. However, McDonald's split up the release schedule. The first four will be available from December 23-29, 2022. In that batch, you can get a jumping Mario, Toad in a race car, a spinning Princess Peach, and a wind-up Donkey Kong. The latter four will be available from December 30, 2022 to January 5, 2023. In this set, you can get Mario in a spinning cart, Bowser that can breathe spinning fire, Luigi, and a spinning Lumalee.

For the final round of toys, which will start from January 6, 2023, you can randomly get any of the eight. Depending on the McDonald's, you might be able to request a specific one. For those who cannot go to Japan during the campaign, they will likely be available online.

The Super Mario Bros Movie is the upcoming computer-animated movie starring Chris Pratt, Jack Black, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Charlie Day. The Japanese version has an equally star-studded cast. The movie will air on April 7, 2023 for the US and April 28, 2023 for Japan.

The The Super Mario Bros Movie Happy Meal toys at McDonald's will be available in  Japan from December 23, 2022.
