🎮 Multi-platformNintendo Sued By Fans Who Want Tariff Refunds
Nintendo might have to prepare itself for a lawsuit that could have far-reaching implications for companies aiming to secure a tariff refund from the United States government. According to new court documents (via Aftermath(https://aftermath.site/gamers-sue-nintendo-tariffs/)), two Nintendo customers have filed a proposed class action complaint in the United States District Court's Western District of Washington, with the aim of forcing Nintendo to pass a portion of their tariff refunds back to them. Following the US trade court's ruling that US President Donald Trump's "Liberation Day" global tariffs were illegal, thousands of companies found themselves eligible to receive a refund from the US government. Several companies like FedEx and UPS are already planning to pass these refunds back to their customers, but what about Nintendo? The gaming giant has said nothing so far, but the brewing lawsuit from plaintiffs Gregory Hoffert and Prashant Sharan could soon change that. In a formal complaint written by their lawyers, Hoffert and Sharan allege that Nintendo could receive a "windfall" if they apply for a tariff refund.

🎮 Multi-platformIron Lung Digital Release: Markiplier Gives An Update As Fans Wait
YouTube star Markiplier's video game movie, Iron Lung, was a smash hit at the box office, bringing in more than $50 million(https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt27564844/?ref=boser1) on a relatively minuscule budget. But when is it coming to home video? It's been out of theaters for some time already, prompting fans to wonder about the long wait. Markiplier, whose real name is Mark Fischbach, said in a newly released video(https://x.com/LOVERiplier/status/2046388644542357745) (via Bloody-Disgusting(https://bloody-disgusting.com/movie/3947321/markiplier-will-self-distribute-iron-lung-on-digital-and-physical-media-heres-the-latest-update/)) that the digital release of Iron Lung has been "taking so long" because he's been at work trying to make a deal "so that other people can benefit from it." From the start, Markiplier said he viewed Iron Lung as a sidequest and not something he was doing for money. When the film became a success at the box office, he promised to distribute the profits to the crew, and now he's hoping to make the film's digital release something other people benefit from instead of himself first and foremost.

🎮 PlayStation, Nintendo Switch, Multi-platformThese New Releases Gave Game Spending A Much-Needed Boost In March
March 2026 was a pretty great month for new releases, and according to new data by Circana, games like Crimson Desert, MLB The Show 26, and Pokemon Pokopia contributed to a bumper sales period. Circana's Senior Director, Mat Piscatella, revealed that video game spending in the US reached $5.3 billion in March 2026, a 12% increase when compared to March 2025. New releases such as Crimson Desert, MLB The Show 26, and Pokemon Pokopia were some of the biggest winners, and video game hardware spending grew by 69% to $500 million when compared to a year ago. The Switch 2 remains the second fastest-selling hardware platform in the US, since Circana began tracking in 1995. "Nintendo Switch 2 drove the overall gain, while PlayStation 5 spending increased by 3% compared to March 2025," Piscatella wrote. "Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling hardware platform across units and dollars for both March and the 2026 year-to-date, with PS5 ranking second across both measures and time periods."

🎮 Multi-platformYoshi's New Game Rethinks What A Platformer Can Be
Nintendo was a trailblazer of the platformer genre, but violence has always been baked into its formula. One of the very first things you do, in the very first Super Mario Bros. game, is stomp on a Goomba. Yoshi games have typically skewed to the younger side of Nintendo's target audience, but they're often still recognizable as traditional, if gentle, platformers. Yoshi's next game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, is so gentle it has eliminated combat almost entirely. You can't die. You mostly don't eliminate enemies. But in its place, Nintendo has found an inventive new hook focused on creative play. The eponymous Mysterious Book here is Mister Encyclopedia, aka Mr. E, a talking compendium of all the various flora and fauna that inhabit this land. His pages have gone blank, and he asks for the Yoshis' help restoring them. That framing makes your job squarely about research and observation, which in turn makes the proceedings mostly peaceful and playful. To aid in the research, Yoshi's 2D moveset is even more generous than usual. You can still grab things with your tongue, but it's multidirectional. You can aim eggs using the right stick. You can flutter-jump seemingly endlessly, which keeps you at a steady height but can't keep reaching perpetually higher. And you can use a tail-swipe move to have a creature ride on your back, or switch between them. You're always Yoshi, but which rider is with you can have different effects. With this suite of moves in tow, you can open up the book and peer into its pages, using Mr. E's magnifying glass monocle to identify which creature habitat you want to examine. Then your chosen Yoshi will jump into the book and start poking around.

🎮 Multi-platformRoblox Can’t Seem To Keep Anyone Happy Right Now
Roblox has a tricky tightrope to walk between making its online sandbox safe and keeping it fun. On one side, players rail against changes locking off social settings and requiring privacy-threatening age checks, and on the other side Roblox is beset by lawmakers claiming the platform isn't doing enough. It's a balancing act, but at the moment Roblox doesn't seem to be pleasing anyone. Roblox has long faced controversy fuelled by its young-skewing player base, from accusations of child labor exploitation(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-boss-talks-teens-making-money-on-the-game-disputes-exploitation-claims/1100-6522420/) to a bombshell Bloomberg report(https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2024-roblox-pedophile-problem/) that alleged Roblox had become a hotbed for child predators. The company has faced legal action from many states across the US and internationally, including from LA(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/la-sues-roblox-over-unsafe-online-environment-for-kids-marking-yet-another-roblox-lawsuit/1100-6538323/), Australia(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/australian-government-puts-roblox-on-notice-over-reports-of-grooming-and-sexual-content/1100-6538053/), Texas(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/texas-sues-roblox-over-child-exploitation-and-grooming-concerns/1100-6536037/), Louisiana(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-lawsuit-louisiana-statement-children-safety/1100-6534061/), California(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-is-not-doing-enough-to-protect-kids-lawmaker-says/1100-6533929/), and more. The company's responses to such accusations haven't always made for great PR, from CEO David Baszucki's notoriously poor handling(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-ceo-responds-to-child-predator-concerns-poorly/1100-6536445/) of a New York Times interview to studio head Stefano Corazza saying Roblox was doing a good thing(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/roblox-boss-talks-teens-making-money-on-the-game-disputes-exploitation-claims/1100-6522420/) by allowing 15-year-olds to work. While defensiveness has often been the company's go-to response to accusations around safety, the mounting pressure has now seen Roblox pull the trigger on a number of sweeping platform changes.

🎮 Multi-platformHere’s Why Fans Think FF7’s Tifa Is Coming To Street Fighter 6
Last week, a new trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/street-fighter-movies-new-trailer-knows-exactly-how-ridiculous-it-is-and-runs-with-it/1100-6539437/) celebrated the Capcom franchise's return to the live-action limelight for the first time in over 15 years. This week, it's the current game, Street Fighter 6, and rumors of its next batch of DLC fighters that has fans riled up--rumors which include Final Fantasy VII's Tifa Lockhart, which would make her Street Fighter's first-ever guest character from a non-fighting franchise. Per WCCFTech(https://wccftech.com/street-fighter-6-year-4-leak-tifa-lockheart/), a post on the Street Fighter subreddit(https://www.reddit.com/r/StreetFighter/comments/1rnblm0/comment/o97cypr/?context=3) surfaced that highlights series veteran Vega, also known as Balrog or "Claw," as a potential inclusion in SF6's Year 4 Character Pass. The post features a comment by user RnKClan not only listing Vega, but also naming Gouken, Mike Haggar from Final Fight, and Tifa as the other three characters. RnKClan speaking to the Year 4 Pass lineup is notable, as they previously correctly predicted Fatal Fury's Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui appearing in 2024's Year 2 Pass. No other details about the rumored batch of DLC was shared by RnKClan, and an attempt for comment from Capcom has gone unanswered as of this writing.
