The latest Famitsu review scores for the week of April 4, 2026 are as follows:

Donna Orlowski, the COO of Chucklefish, has explained why Witchbrook has taken so long to release.

Back in 2016, the project was first teased. A year later, it was announced as Spellbrook, and then became Witchbrook in 2018. We’ve essentially seen the last decade fly by, but the game has still yet to debut.

According to a developer that worked on Mario Strikers Charged, there was some consideration for having Link in Mario Strikers Charged.

As a Mario game, Strikers Charged expectedly stuck with characters associated with that franchise. However, there was the possibility of bringing in that famous character from The Legend of Zelda.
