    For far too long, the Battle Mode in Mario Kart 64 has been limited to one elimination game mode where each player has 3 balloons, 4 courses, and only playing against human players. Battle Mode had so much untapped potential, just waiting to be unlocked.
    Battle Kart 64 is an exciting new hack by Triclon that greatly expands and adds all sorts of new goodies to Battle Mode in Mario Kart 64, breathing new life into this 20+ year old multiplayer experience.
    New Game Modes!

    • An expanded traditional battle mode.
    • “Hot Potato” featuring a timer on whoever was hit last and counts down to zero. Whoever is the “hot potato” when the timer reaches zero loses 1 HP.
    • “Squish” where you need to hit, lightning shrink, and then run over the shrunken player to score.

    New Scoring Modes!

    • Stock scoring where you can now set set the number of hit points, instead of just having 3 balloons.
    • Timed matches where whoever has the least amount of hits when the timer reaches zero wins. Ties go to sudden death.
    • Team matches of 2 vs. 2 or 2 vs. 1 with both point and time scoring.

    All the race courses now will load in Battle Mode!

    • All 16 race courses can now be played in Battle Mode.
    • Great for Koopa Troopa Beach or Kalamari Desert.

    Item toggling!

    • You can turn items on and off like in Super Smash Bros.
    • Hate stars? Just turn them off.

    CPU bots in Battle Mode!

    • Now you can play battle mode by yourself.
    • A lot of work has gone into making bots that will actually track you down and aim their items at you.
    • Best played in Block Fort or Double Deck or on wide open race courses.

    And a whole slew of other options!

    • Flat courses!
    • Ludicrous speed!
    • And more!!

    Battle Kart 64 will continue to be under active development so the future will bring even more game modes and features.

    This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what destiny holds in store for him..
    A full English translation of the 2008 NDS game Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (based on the hit anime of the same name) has been released!
    In the distant future, mankind has lived quietly and restlessly underground for hundreds of years, subject to earthquakes and cave-ins. Living in one such village are 2 young men: one named Simon who is shy and naïve, and the other named Kamina who believes in the existence of a “surface” world above their heads. The destiny of these two starts moving drastically when the ceiling of their village falls in, and a gigantic “Gunmen” and a beautiful girl named Yoko, wielding a superconductive rifle, come from the surface. Together, Kamina, Simon and Yoko ride the mecha “Lagann” that Simon digs out of the ground, and fly up to the surface!
    A retelling of the anime’s storyline, the game features some alternative and exclusive content, including 3 new characters and an extra ending.
    Fans may recognise two of the new characters, originally known as “Tetori” and “Ziggitalis” from the OVA (also known as Episode 5.5), which was bundled with the limited-edition release of the game and fan-subbed by Nyoro~n. In celebration of the patch release, they were remastered by the team and are available for download on Phantom’s tumblr.
    Full of the humour, action and the boundless optimism that made the anime a hit, this game is a must-play for new or old fans alike!

    FIFA 21 reclaimed the UK top spot, having missed out on the coveted Christmas No.1 position last week.
    EA's football game rose in sales by 8% in terms of physical boxed copies only.
    That means last week's No.1, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, falls to No.2 after a 21% drop in sales week-on-week. With the chart going over the Christmas Day period, it's not entirely surprising to see sales fall for most games. Animal Crossing: New Horizons rises to No.3, despite sales falling 20% week-on-week, while Mario Kart 8: Deluxe jumps to No.4 despite an 8% dip. To round off the Top Five, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War drops from No.2 to No.5 after a 42% sales slip.
    The big new release of December, CD Projekt's Cyberpunk 2077, drops to No.8 after a 57% drop in sales. Remember, this is all purely based on physical game sales.
    Other games that make up the Top Ten include Spider-Man Miles Morales for PS4 and PS5 (which holds No.6 after a 31% sales drop), Just Dance 2021 (up one place to No.7 despite a 28% sales slide), Super Mario 3D All-Stars (up one to No.9 with sales down 25%) and Minecraft on Switch (up one to 10 after a sales fall of 26%).
