Morning Checkpoint: March 27, 2026<\/h1>\n

Fans are anxious about the future of titles like Rocket League<\/em> following Epic’s substantial layoffs. The creative head of Sonic Team is bewildered by a fan’s body art. It appears that Devil May Cry 5<\/em> and several other games are set to arrive on Switch 2. Here is your Morning Checkpoint<\/a> for March 27, 2026. How much more troubling news can gaming companies fit in before the fiscal quarter wraps up?<\/p>\n

We’re just days away from the debut of the second Mario <\/em>film. Will it be a success? Will it surpass the previous film’s box office earning of over $1 billion? Will a large portion of the original score be swapped out again for popular licensed tracks that become meme sensations on TikTok? I’ve secured my tickets and am prepared to sneak in all the snacks for the kids. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Warren has inquiries for MrBeast<\/a>. Who doesn’t?<\/p>\n

It appears Wario will feature in The <\/em>Mario Galaxy Movie<\/em>, but Waluigi will not<\/h2>\n

Chris Pratt, the voice of Mario, and Charlie Day, the voice of Luigi, appeared on the Tonight Show<\/em> with renowned gaming enthusiast and ad-friendly figure Jimmy Fallon<\/a> to promote the film and also tackle a fan theory quiz. The pair were meant to hit a red shell if the answer was no and a question block if the answer was yes.<\/p>\n

Is there an additional Mario brother in the film? No. Is there a non-Mario character in the film? Yes. This seems to point to the confirmed appearance of Fox McCloud, although some fans will undoubtedly wish for Samus, Kirby, or other Smash Bros.<\/em> favorites to show up. But what of Wario and Waluigi? In response to this query, Pratt and Day activated both buttons. One interpretation is that it indicates yes for Wario, who has been hinted at in leaks, and no for Waluigi. Perhaps Nintendo is reserving a few surprises for the final launch.<\/p>\n

Despite widespread layoffs, Epic assures Rocket League<\/em> is here to stay<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Psyonix team is an essential part of Epic\u2019s game development,\u201d a representative stated to PCGamesN<\/em><\/a>. \u201cRocket League<\/em> remains a priority, and the team is dedicated to crafting an excellent game for the community.\u201d The free-to-play automotive sports game continues to be a weekly favorite for millions of players, even if the only shifts occurring are the continuous flow of branded microtransactions in the in-game store.<\/p>\n

Sonic\u2019s creator is puzzled by a fan tattooing the blue blur on his elbow<\/h2>\n
\n

As the original creator, I\u2019m pleased to see it, but why on earth did he choose that spot for the tattoo\u2026?
