Random SNES Hacker Working On Widescreen Support For Super Mario World
Doing what Nintendon't
As much as we appreciate Nintendo's efforts with the Switch Online SNES and NES service, these games are for most parts basic emulations of the original classics.

News Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope Officially Unveiled With 'Reveal' Trailer
Plus a gameplay trailer, and it looks fantastic
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle had quite a rollercoaster ride before its announcement at E3 2017 — low quality leaked assets, showing Mario shooting a gun alongside Rabbids, were not well received.
