Square Enix teases a more cartoonish Lara Croft in 'Tomb Raider Reloaded' mobile game

 

Lara Croft gets another resurrection in the mobile space with this new game from Vancouver-based Emerald City Games. Square Enix dropped the trailer for Tom Raider Reloaded, which is described as a free-to-play mobile arcade shooter.

As you can see in the trailer, Lara gets a more cutesy, cartoon-like makeover. But she's still going to be taking on monsters like wolves, giant spiders, and more. The trailer doesn't really reveal much about what the game is about, and we have to wait a bit for it to come out. Tomb Raider Reloaded will be launched sometime in 2021.

A 'Super Mario Bros. 3' copy became most expensive game sold at US$156,000

It seems one Super Mario fan or collector was so keen to get a copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 that they were willing to pay a lot of money for it. A rare copy of the game was bought at an auction for US$156,000 (around CA$203,260). It is now the most expensive sealed copy of a game ever sold, with a starting bid of US$62,500 (CA$81,428) that had 20 bidders trying to get their hands on it. It beat out another Super Mario Bros. copy, which a bidder got in July for US$114,000 (CA$148,525).

This copy of the game is one of the earliest releases as it has a rare box design. The word "Bros." is seen on the left instead of the more commonly known right placement, with it covering a bit of Mario's glove. The copy was also in excellent condition with a Wata 9.2 A+ rating for the box's quality and seal. Heritage Auctions sold a Wata 9.0 A-rated copy of the same game in July for US$38,400 (CA$50,029).
