This week, Nintendo held a Direct dedicated to Mario Kart World and while it was only 15 minutes long, it gave us a better idea of what to expect from the game’s open-world exploration and its competitive offerings, while also showing off some new playable characters and some of the stylish outfits you’ll be able to unlock for its many racers. Additionally, new screens leaked for the upcoming (though still officially unannounced) remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and some MrBeast fans who attended what was supposed to be an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience wound up demanding refunds after the experience proved to be anything but.

Over the weekend, fans of YouTuber and reality show host Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson gathered in Las Vegas for what was supposed to be an “immersive” and “unforgettable” experience.
