Super Mario Odyssey: Where To Find Princess Peach In Each Kingdom

Super Mario Odyssey is a quirky, fun, critically-acclaimed success for the Nintendo Switch. While the game’s main story will keep you busy for some time, another task will take some of your focus after you beat it. If you haven’t beat the game and are worried about spoilers, stop reading now.

After Mario saves Princess Peach, she’ll take a well-deserved vacation, touring the Kingdoms you’ve visited throughout the game. Whenever you find her, she’ll reward you with a Power Moon and give you a clue as to her next destination.

If you want a little helping hand, we’ve got you. We’re put together a guide on all the places you’ll find Peach in the video above.

Check out our Super Mario Odyssey review, in which GameSpot awarded the game a 10/10 (here’s why).

Need for Speed Payback Review

Need for Speed Payback is one step forwards and two steps back for EA’s 23-year-old racing series. While Payback does fix a host of the 2015 Need for Speed reboot’s missteps, it also brushes away a lot of the stuff developer Ghost Games got right at that time.

You see, Need for Speed 2015 brought with it a resurrection of the spirit of 2003 and 2004’s successful Underground games and saw the return of meaningful performance and visual customisation. Between all the hokey live-action, first-person fist-bumping it also revolved around encounters with real-world automotive icons. That’s an idea I still genuinely like. Of course, it was very short, the world was largely empty, there initially wasn’t any drag racing, and you couldn’t even pause the game in single-player. It was flawed, no doubt.

Assassin’s Creed: Origins Features A Hidden Watch Dogs Crossover

The speculation that Watch Dogs and Assassin’s Creed take place in the same universe is essentially a meme at this point. After all, they’re both freerunning-focused, open-world, stealthy Ubisoft games featuring main characters who obscure their faces in pretty conspicuous ways. But in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, Ubisoft gave fans the clearest sign yet that this is more than just speculation.

Minor spoilers for Assassin’s Creed: Origins ahead.

In Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, the CEO of Abstergo Industries is named Olivier Garneau. He plays a fairly major role in the modern-day sections, before departing for Chicago. In the first Watch Dogs–set in Chicago–Garneau then appears as an Easter egg in a side mission, during which main character Aiden Pearce can kill him.

As reported by Eurogamer, in Assassin’s Creed: Origins, if you delve into the laptop during the modern-day sections, you can unearth a security-cam photograph of Pearce standing over the body of Garneau. This strengthens the connection between the two game worlds, even if it is still just a fun nod from Ubisoft. It also keeps the slim hope alive for a real Assassin’s Creed/Watch Dogs crossover one day.

In other news, Assassin’s Creed: Origins recently received an update that fixes bugs and adds a photo mode. The game was generally well-received when it launched at the end of October; GameSpot gave it a 7/10, with critic Alessandro Fillari writing, “Assassin’s Creed has undergone many changes in its long and storied history, and Origins feels like the first step in the start of a new journey. It has its fair share of problems, but the vision for its future is one worth pursuing.”

Injustice 2 Fighter Pack 3 Reveal Coming Soon, Here’s When

It won’t be much longer until we learn more about Injustice 2’s next fighter pack. NetherRealm has announced that the reveal video for the Fighter Pack 3 will be released on Friday, November 10. An image shared by NetherRealm’s Ed Boon on Twitter suggests that the video will air during the Injustice 2 Eleague World Championship.

The show airs at 10 PM ET on November 10 on TBS in the United States.

We already know one character in the Fighter Pack 3, Atom, but presumably there will be a few more. That could be the reveal that NetherRealm has teed up for Friday. Atom launches in December, so we’d expect the others to follow after that.

The final new character in the Fighter Pack 2 is Hellboy, and he arrives on November 14. Just today, NetherRealm showed off Hellboy during a livestream–you can watch a replay of the key moments here.

In other news, NetherRealm today announced the release date for Injustice 2’s PC version. You can play the game’s 1v1 open beta on PC right now ahead of launch.
