Tobirama Senju was an incredibly innovative ninja, with only a few others reaching his level, like Orochimaru and Kabuto. However, the Boruto series introduces Boruto Uzumaki, who shows the potential to become just as innovative as Tobirama and perhaps even surpass him as a future leader.
The game Polyarmory: High Calibre Love, created by Scope Creeps, became available on Steam on February 12, 2026, and has already been downloaded over 20,000 times. Although this is Scope Creeps’ first game released under that name on Steam, the team previously made another dating game, OnlyCans: Thirst Date, which has age and location restrictions because of its mature content. Polyarmory differs by reducing explicit content and adding first-person shooter gameplay, which has allowed it to be available without restrictions on Steam.

In Chapter 6, ‘Nobody Left Behind,’ you’ll return to the beach where you started after escaping the wrecked convoy. Once there, you’ll need to solve a simple puzzle related to the island’s large cannon.
Cultural differences often explain why female characters are portrayed in certain ways, and those portrayals aren’t necessarily negative. However, the repeated use of these tropes sparks debate about what defines a strong female character in video games – a topic that can quickly become contentious online, as evidenced by the often-negative responses to requests for “feminist” JRPGs. Regardless of whether you believe the common “anime waifu” archetype is inherently sexist, it’s a welcome change when a playable female character breaks free from those typical stereotypes. Final Fantasy 9 did this well with Freya Crescent and her story of lost love with Sir Fratley, which makes it disappointing that the game abandons her storyline so soon.
During a January 2026 event, Dragon Ball announced Project Age 1000, a video game that’s been in development for six to seven years. A brief trailer showed a brand-new protagonist with white hair, wearing Capsule Corp. clothing, and the ability to transform into a Super Saiyan. Bandai Namco stated that the character was designed by Akira Toriyama himself. The trailer also hinted at the inclusion of Goku and Vegeta. While Project Age 1000 is planned for release in 2027, there haven’t been any updates since the initial announcement. However, Bandai Namco Entertainment may have recently revealed the game’s official title by accident.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company don’t often re-release older Pokémon games. The only previous examples were the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, which became available on the Nintendo 3DS. With the launch of classic games as part of the Nintendo Switch Online service, and especially after Game Boy Advance titles were added with the Expansion Pack, a great opportunity arose to bring these games to the Switch. Now that Nintendo has demonstrated that retro games can be released on Switch independently of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, it’s possible we’ll see even more classic Pokémon titles available for individual purchase.
While Naruto has many great qualities, it’s not without its flaws. Some characters actually detract from the story, hindering compelling arcs instead of enhancing them.
