The game Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds recently added a Minecraft pack, bringing popular characters, vehicles, and items from that game into the experience. A big free update is coming on October 22nd, introducing Joker from the Persona series as a playable character. Looking ahead, Sega is asking players for their ideas on how to improve and expand the game even further.
Many games similar to Undertale use 2D graphics, so finding 3D options is harder. However, a few good choices exist for players who want a 3D experience with some of the same appealing qualities as Undertale.

Nintendo executive producer Yoshinori Hamaguchi recently told Wccftech he’s in favor of Switch 2 game cartridges that would only hold a download key, letting players download the full game. He’s spoken up for these kinds of cards before, but his support is especially noteworthy now that the first Final Fantasy 7 Remake game is coming to the Switch 2 in January.
On a fateful Monday that would surely echo through the annals of time, the House of Doge, huddled with their partners at Brag House Holdings, Inc., proclaimed itself the “largest equity holder” in the historic yet hapless US Triestina Calcio 1918.
