The success of the Switch 2 highlights how much console launches have improved over the years. Many will remember the difficult starts of consoles like the Xbox 360, plagued by issues like the “Red Ring of Death,” or the unusual Nokia N-Gage. But those weren’t the only consoles to struggle; several failed so badly they quickly disappeared, taking their games with them. While the PlayStation and consoles like the Sega Saturn and Nintendo 64 thrived, others couldn’t compete and were ultimately forgotten.

The Game & Watch series was one of Nintendo’s earliest steps into making video games. Throughout the 1980s and 90s, they released a lot of simple, handheld games. Many of these featured Mr. Game & Watch, the series’ character – a simple black silhouette. While he’s not as famous as characters like Mario or Link, he played a significant role in Nintendo’s history.

So, I just got my hands on the new Switch 2 Pro Controller, and it’s awesome! It basically lets you play all your Switch and Switch 2 games the way you’re used to, with a classic controller feel. It’s got all the stuff the original Pro Controller had – amiibo support, motion controls – but they’ve added a few cool things. There’s a dedicated button for GameChat, which is super handy, and two programmable back paddles on the grips. You can map those to any button you want, which is a game-changer. It ended up costing me $84.99, a little more than they originally planned, because of some tariffs, but honestly, it’s worth it.

Lionsgate is releasing Scream 4 on 4K Ultra HD for the first time. Fans can purchase a combo pack with 4K, Blu-ray, and digital copies for $42.99, or a limited edition steelbook for $34.99. The steelbook features the original movie poster, showcasing Ghost Face and his knife. The back cover includes the iconic line “Welcome home, Sidney,” and the inside art depicts Neve Campbell as Sidney Prescott preparing for a fight. The standard slipcover version has a collage of red-toned character and suspect images, including returning stars David Arquette as Dewey Riley and Courteney Cox as Gale Weathers, as well as newer characters like Hayden Panettiere’s Kirby and Emma Roberts’ Jill.

In One Piece chapter 1178, Imu made a significant announcement. After witnessing the battle between Nika and Nidhogg through Gunko, Imu understood the situation was serious enough to require his personal involvement. Consequently, he told the Five Elders that he would be going to the war himself.

Gohan’s powerful new Beast form puts him right back among the strongest characters in the Dragon Ball universe. While we’re excited to see what future manga chapters bring, it’s interesting to consider which characters, despite their strength, still aren’t quite on Gohan’s level.

A truly great Spider-Man game isn’t just about fighting or having a good story. It’s about making you feel like Spider-Man – how he moves, his personality, and how people around him respond. Very few games have gotten that perfect combination right, and those are the ones we still remember as the best Spider-Man games.

I was really surprised by The Super Mario Bros. Movie. I expected to like it – I grew up playing Mario games and have a lot of fond memories of the Mushroom Kingdom. But I’ve realized not all Mario content is made for adults like me; it often prioritizes younger viewers. The first movie felt perfectly geared towards kids just discovering Mario, which is how I felt when I was their age. However, The Super Mario Bros. Movie gave me something unexpected: it let me relive my childhood for an hour and a half. The music brought back so many memories, and the clever use of cameos and familiar elements from the games was fantastic. The only thing that would have made it even better was sharing the experience with my dad.

For a lot of dedicated fans, these DC television shows were their first introduction to the comic books. Some are considered the best and most memorable portrayals of these characters. Marvel hasn’t achieved this level of success as consistently, with the exceptions of X-Men and Spider-Man. DC has a long history of creating truly outstanding animated series, from classics like Batman: The Animated Series to Justice League.
