Let’s just get one thing out of the way right off the bat: No, Super Mario Run is not out yet. I know! I hate waiting too. There’s never really been a release like this, so it’s hard to say if it’ll show up at some point tonight (a lot of people speculating midnight Pacific time) or if it’ll be some time in the morning. All I do know is that it’ll be here soon and we’ll let you know the second it’s available. As for our regular weekly business? There’s actually a surprising amount of cool new games that weren’t afraid to go up against Mario, so take a peek at the full list below and give a shout out in the comments to the ones you think you’ll be checking out!
