Wonder + Encounter in Belabel Park, and a rumor that talks about a new installment of Star Fox and a remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for this year, as well as the arrival of a 3D Mario in 2027. Continuing with the rumors, there is one that says that Xbox could offer cheaper Game Pass plans, while Netflix does not rule out a joint subscription. On the other hand, Sony has had second bad news with the closure of Dark Outlaw Games.
