Super Mario 3D All-Stars Will Allow for Inverted Camera Settings in November
After the community expressed its disappointment with Super Mario 3D All-Stars‘ lack of camera customization options, Nintendo has finally announced that a patch will be implemented. Specifically, all three games in the package — Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy will offer inverted controls following a patch on Nov. 16. The original GameCube version of Super Mario Sunshine featured inverted controls, but this was omitted with the release of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Thankfully, this will be fixed soon.
A free software update is coming to #SuperMario3DAllStars on 11/16 that adds a new inverted camera control setting for all three games. pic.twitter.com/06y4IAenCk

PS5 Sold Faster in First 12 Hours Than PS4 in the U.S. — Not Everyone Will Be Able to Find One
Today, an interview between Reuters and Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan was published, featuring some interesting information about PlayStation 5. Most importantly, Ryan said Sony pre-sold as many PS5 units in the first 12 hours of availability as it did in the first 12 weeks of preorder availability for PlayStation 4 in the United States — meaning the new console is selling faster than its predecessor. Ryan also said, “It may well be that not everybody who wants to buy a PS5 on launch day will be able to find one,” but he ensures that Sony is “working as hard as we ever can” to ensure shopper demand is met this holiday.
"Jim Ryan says that the company has pre-sold as many PS5 units in the first 12 hours of availability as it did in the first 12 weeks for the PS4."
