Having now entered its fifth year, the Nintendo Switch console is doing great business and the company isn't in a rush to introduce new hardware to the market, according to Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser."We are always looking at technology and how technology can enhance gameplay experiences," Bowser explained to The Washington Post. "It's not technology for technology's sake. It's how specifically can technology enhance a gameplay experience. And then where do you apply that technology? Do you want to apply it on current existing hardware or platforms, or do you want to wait for the next platform? And then what's the right gameplay experience with that? There's a host of factors that goes into it, and it's something we're always looking at."Bowser added that Nintendo is currently focused on its upcoming slate of games that cater to a diverse audience, a key pillar of the company's business strategy. Nintendo has also been branching out into other areas with its biggest intellectual properties, reaching the mobile gaming space, partnerships with Lego, and the creation of several theme parks around the world.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Andy Muschietti, who is directing the upcoming DC movie The Flash, is on a roll lately. After first sharing a tease of Michael Keaton's Batman costume in the film, as well as an updated look at Ezra Miller's updated Flash costume, the director is back again to give the first look at Supergirl's outfit.Naturally, the costume has a version of the iconic symbol also seen on Superman's costume--though it's important to note this is not the same insignia that's worn by Henry Cavill's Superman. More interesting to note, however, is that the costume looks to be employing a two-tone color scheme. The shoulders of the suit appear to be red, while the rest of the torso looks to be the classic blue of the traditional Supergirl costume. There's no telling if this particular design choice extends to the cape. It is interesting to note, this particular colorway choice somewhat resembles the outfit Brie Larson wears as Captain Marvel in the MCU. View this post on InstagramA post shared by Andy Muschietti (@andy_muschietti)Colombian actress Sasha Calle has been cast in the role of Supergirl. Muschietti revealed the casting in a Zoom call with Calle back in February, in which her reaction to landing the role was captured on video.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

FIFA 21 players can now see what is inside loot boxes before choosing to purchase them, in a new feature added as part of the game's ongoing "Festival of FUTball" event.Called "Ultimate Team Preview Packs", these packs can be previewed in the game's FUT Store. As detailed by Eurogamer, players can choose to preview the contents via a pack opening animation. Players can then decide to purchase that specific pack. These packs can either be bought with FUT Coins, which are earned through gameplay, or with FIFA Points, which are acquired with real-world money.If a player opts not to buy the pack, the preview pack's contents will remain in the store for viewing, now on a timer. Once the timer expires, players can then choose to preview another pack. Ultimate Team Preview Packs are the only type of pack available for purchase during the duration of the event, though EA says other types of packs will return in the future. It's currently unclear if all packs going forward will support the new preview feature.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

There are two sequels to Rian Johnson's hit murder mystery thriller Knives Out on the way, which will stream exclusively on Netflix. Here's everything we know so far.Rian Johnson has had a fascinating and diverse directorial career to date. He made his debut with the 2005 high school film noir Brick, which was followed by the romantic caper movie The Brothers Bloom, and the time-twisting sci-fi thriller Looper. Next up was the Star Wars movie The Last Jedi. While some of that film's more surprising plot and character developments divided fans, anyone who had followed Johnson's career up to that point knew that he was unlikely to deliver a totally conventional Star Wars movie (after all, we have J.J. Abrams for that.)So it was little surprise when Johnson made another left turn for his fifth movie. Knives Out was a hugely entertaining old-fashioned murder mystery, with a star-studded cast clearly having a great time with the movie's dark humor, razor-sharp dialogue, and clever twists. Knives Out was a financial success too. It made $311 million worldwide from a modest production budget of $40 million, an impressive number for a Hollywood movie that wasn't a sequel, reboot, or based on an existing property. What's more, it earned Johnson an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Nintendo made plenty of big announcements at E3 this year, but fans of the long-dormant futuristic racing series F-Zero were, perhaps predictably, left high and dry. Thankfully, one fan has taken the matter of a new F-Zero game into their own hands using a different Nintendo game altogether: Game Builder Garage.You'd be forgiven for forgetting Game Builder Garage released. It actually launched on June 11 for Nintendo Switch, right in the midst of E3, and Nintendo didn't exactly draw attention to it during their various presentations or livestreams. That being said, fans are already doing some amazing work with the game-creation toolkit, in particular this F-Zero creation from ZeldaBoi1.F-ZEROCODE: G-002-54C-N4Pcontrols:A/B-accelerateX/Y-reverseZR/ZL-drifthave fun!!!#GameBuilderGarage #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/ynZkPLS7vm — ZeldaBoi (Game Building in the Garage) (@ZeldaBoi1) June 17, 2021ZeldaBoi1 has put together a truly impressive F-Zero fan-game using Nintendo's game-making tools. Players can accelerate, drive in reverse, and drift, just like in the original F-Zero for Super Nintendo. From the pixelated visuals that look incredibly close to that of the first game in the series down to the catchy music, Zelda Boi1's creation is incredible, especially considering Game Builder Garage has barely been out for a week.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

State of Decay 2's Update 25: Plague Territory will go live across all platforms on Monday, June 21. Undead Labs shared a short video on Twitter teasing one of the main aspects of the update, Plague Territories, which are regions controlled by Plague Hearts that cannot be inhabited until the controlling Hearts are destroyed.Update 25: Plague Territory is out on Monday! Here's a peek... 👀 pic.twitter.com/n3lhCJ1AII — State Of Decay 2 (@StateOfDecay) June 17, 2021Plague Territories have been available as part of the play testing beta on Steam since late April and while Undead Labs has not released the full patch notes for Update 25 yet, and while we don't know everything that'll be in Update 25 yet, the other new features in the beta might give some clues. Landmark Outposts offer one of three unique options depending on what the landmark itself is. Resource Outposts, which can produce food, ammo, or other resources, will get the ability to be upgraded, to increase their benefits.These new features cannot be used on existing maps, so players will need to either load up a new map or change the difficulty on a current map to get Plague Territories, Landmark Outposts, and upgradable Resource Outposts. While only Plague Territories are confirmed for Update 25, we will know more when it goes live on June 21.Info from Gamespot.com

If an Australian Classification Board rating is anything to go on, it appears Castlevania's Game Boy Advance entries are going to find a home on new systems. The Castlevania Advance Collection has been rated for a multiplatform launch, and the listed developer should have fans very excited.The rating page on the Australian Classification Board website, which was just published June 18, gives the collection an M rating, which is not the same as the ESRB's M rating--it's more in line with a T rating and doesn't require any sort of restrictions on purchases.No individual games are listed on the page, but a compilation with this name will almost certainly include Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, and Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow--all of which original released for the Game Boy Advance. The three acclaimed games were built on the metroidvania formula established in Symphony of the Night, which would become the standard for the series for about a decade.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

The cast for John Wick: Chapter 4 continues to get more and more awesome. First it was Donnie Yen, then Laurence Fishburne.

If you're an Amazon Prime member and have a device with Alexa enabled--including the mobile app--you can currently score some ridiculous deals on a number of Amazon products right now. These are substantially better deals than you'll get ordering them via Amazon.com right now, and buying the new Echo Dot, Fire TV Stick 4K, and Kindle Paperwhite for a big discount is as simple as telling Alexa what to do. Through June 20, you can take advantage of Alexa-exclusive Prime Day deals just by saying, "Alexa, order an Echo Dot"--or any other eligible product that catches your eye.Some of the items that qualify are both the 3rd Gen Echo Dot and the 4th Gen Echo Dot, available for $20 and $25 respectively when using Alexa. The Fire TV Stick 4K is a ridiculous $25 this way, and it comes with an Alexa-enabled remote. These are all-time lows for these products. Of course, the fact that Amazon is referring to these as "early access deals" means they'll probably be available online for all Prime members come Monday, but why wait until then and risk stock selling out?
