Fans Think Re:Verse Was Delayed, but It Never Had a Release Date to Begin With
When Capcom first announced Resident Evil: Re:Verse, the spinoff competitive multiplayer game, the community had assumed it would launch alongside Resident Evil Village. It was sort of presented that way during the reveal, but Capcom has clarified this by telling VGC that Re:Verse does not have a definitive release date. Instead, it’s set to launch sometime in summer 2021, as shown in the tweet below.
The Resident Evil ambassadors have received an email mentioning that RE:Verse will be available in the summer, I also received that email, there are no further details. https://t.co/E103PFP7m7 pic.twitter.com/b5sbTT6mXF

Nintendo Has Added Online Play to Super Mario Party
Seemingly out of nowhere, Nintendo has updated Super Mario Party to include online play. It used to only feature online functionality as part of its Online Marathon mode, which only offered random mini-games, but now, thanks to the recent update, Mario Party mode and Partner Party mode are both playable via the internet. Fans were pleased with the news of the update but were wondering why it wasn’t implemented to begin with. Nonetheless, you can download the free online update right now.
Keep the party going! A free update to #SuperMarioParty adds online play to the board game mode, 70 minigames , and the 2 vs 2 Partner Party mode. Available now!
