Kiki Trick on Wii is a Japanese explosion for the ears

Sometimes, I have no idea what is going on in the minds of Nintendo execs.

What you see above is a trailer forKiki Trick, out on January 16 for the Wii. There’s a guy in a panda suit head bouncing a basketball under his legs, a group sitting in a circle holding a seance, a dude having stomach cramps, and a woman rubbing her hands and making a strange squeaking sound....

Who could’ve guessed Lamar Jackson, reigning NFL MVP and the most exciting player in football, is the cover star ofMadden NFL 21. This is the part where we all feign surprise. Whoa, crazy! This isn’t so much a reveal as it is a confirmation.Jackson already accidentally outed himself as this year’sMaddenstarback in April, and EA just awkwardly sat on its existing marketing schedule for two more months.

Marvel’s marvelous Captain Marvel trailer is a marvel

Well, Marvel waited. They held their cards to their chest and they didn’t give us even a whiff ofCaptain Marveluntil the first looks last week, but now it’s here.
