Undertale creator and Homestuck composer Toby Fox did a track for Pokémon Sword and Shield and, upon listening to it, we’ve realized it sounds like it’s pulling a melody from a notorious Homestuck-related track: “The Baby is You.” (MS Paint Adventures was the website that hosted Homestuck, along with creator Andrew Hussie’s other works.)

If you haven’t heard of RetroMania Wrestling yet, perhaps this will get your attention: It is now officially the sequel to the beloved 1991 arcade game WWF WrestleFest. Let’s back up a bit, as licenses are involved — and RetroMania Wrestling is not affiliated with the WWE/WWF. And now they’ve licensed it to Retrosoft Studios, which started development on RetroMania Wrestling last year, calling it a spiritual successor to the 1991 cabinet classic. Retrosoft says that Mat Mania’s lineup will appea

The new Battlegrounds mode in Hearthstone is now available for everyone. The open beta starts this week, as promised. Announced at this year’s BlizzCon, the Battlegrounds mode pits eight players against one another. Hearthstone itself began with a closed beta in 2013, before launching into an open beta the following year. Unlike that phase of the game, however, the beta for Battlegrounds is available on iOS and Android devices.

Netlix has already ordered a second season of The Witcher. The first season of the show, starring Henvil Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, hasn’t even aired yet. Announced in 2017, The Witcher is based on the original novels by Andrzej Sapkowski and will include nods to the critically-acclaimed role-playing games by CD Projekt Red.

But disgust tied to fruitcake in The Sims 4 went behind one mere unpleasant experience; Sims that hated fruitcake had their tastebuds altered permanently, thanks to a bug that caused food reactions to get “stuck” after eating the dessert. If they liked fruitcake, they’d be stuck in “permanent delight.” Thankfully, a new update to The Sims 4 has fixed this bug, just in time for fruitcake season. “Sims that dislike Fruitcake no longer react negatively to all other food,” The Sims 4 developer Maxis

Sure, eventually they made it to Pochinki like everybody else, they just took the longest way possible to get there. Thankfully, in an upcoming patch, PUBG Corp. will add a new waypoint system to the game that even that friend can understand. As part of the same patch that’s adding waypoints to the game, PUBG Corp. is also bringing update to Vikendi, PUBG’s snow map. This is a new kind of lobby where PUBG Corp. will experiment with different rules and gameplay settings. This new patch, called Up

The developer of the original Prey, Rune, and The Quiet Man, Human Head Studios, has closed its doors. Madison, Wisconsin-based Roundhouse Studios “will immediately begin work on unannounced projects at Bethesda,” according to an announcement from Bethesda. With the formation of Roundhouse Studios, Bethesda offered every employee of Human Head a position at the new company. Bethesda and Human Head previously worked together on Prey 2, a canceled sequel to the 2006 first-person shooter. Human Hea

Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield, developer Game Freak’s first new game for Nintendo’s latest console, will be released on Nov. 15 for Nintendo Switch. Sword and Shield largely follow tradition as a Pokémon franchise game, but add new elements that make it fresh and open. No matter where you’re located, Sword and Shield will be available right when the clock strikes midnight in your area.

The first Pokémon I saw when I entered Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield’s new Wild Area was an Onix, a big, bulky string of rocks slithering around an open field. It’s a perfectly placed lesson in what’s to come: These aren’t the patches of tall grass I’ve grown accustomed to in Pokémon games. Its last game, Pokémon: Let’s Go!, was the franchise’s flawed-yet-charming move away from purely handheld gameplay when it was released on Nintendo Switch in 2018. Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield are two

No one had seen the first episode of The Mandalorian before the Star Wars live-action series actually debuted on Tuesday morning, as part of the Disney Plus launch. But unless you’ve been plowing through the expanded universe of Star Wars between movies, the gravity of the reveal — or what the reveal is supposed to even be — may not make a ton of sense. The target itself isn’t actually Yoda, but “Baby Yoda” the easiest thing to call the alien. Yoda’s species doesn’t actually have a name in Star

Now that Disney Plus has launched, you can watch dozens of classic Mickey Mouse shorts, obscure Disney Channel television shows, and low-budget network TV movies from the 1970s and ’80s. While the Disney Plus design makes it easy to watch the company’s biggest properties — like Marvel films and shows, or The Simpsons — locating older or less-popular programs can be a challenge. The Disney Plus homepage presents five main categories: Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic. The

Now that Disney owns three streaming services — Disney Plus, ESPN Plus, and Hulu — it was pretty much a given that the company would find a way to leverage its impressive portfolio. The $12.99 monthly bundle includes subscriptions to Disney Plus (usually $6.99/month), ESPN Plus (usually $4.99/month), and the ad-supported version of Hulu (usually $5.99/month). You can keep your Hulu subscription and continue to be billed through Hulu; you’ll just get a $5.99 credit toward the Disney Plus bundle e

Share All sharing options for: Why Kentucky Route Zero is the most important game of the decadeThe creators of Kentucky Route Zero, who run the game studio Cardboard Computer, present themselves as artists more so than designers. I think it’s because, perhaps unintentionally, the long road of Kentucky Route Zero — across five separately released acts and multiple interludes — has reflected video games in a period of immense tumult and change. In fact, had the rest of Kentucky Route Zero never ex

But on the streaming service, they’re only viewable in a 16:9 aspect ratio. It’s a bitter pill to swallow once again, especially since there was evidence suggesting that Disney Plus would do right by Simpsons fans. And don’t forget that with the launch of Disney Plus, the Simpsons World site is, well, not long for this world. Here’s hoping Disney eventually brings the features of Simpsons World to Disney Plus.

Almost all of the Star Wars movies, including Episodes I through VII of the Skywalker saga, are now available to stream on Disney Plus. In fact, there’s apparently a new change to the original Star Wars: Han Solo’s deadly confrontation with the bounty hunter Greedo in the Mos Eisley cantina is, yet again, slightly different. Of course, there are alternatives, if you deeply care about the supposed purity of the original Star Wars trilogy. But for now, Disney Plus is a good, if not ideal, place to

In May, five months before Disney Plus’ new live-action feature Lady and the Tramp was released, Disney announced that Janelle Monáe would write new music for the remake. More specifically, the studio planned to ditch the uncomfortably racist “Siamese Cat Song” from the 1955 animated original movie, and replace it with something less offensive. 2019’s Lady and the Tramp is full of saccharine nostalgia that dunks 1909 America in a candy-coated veneer of wokeness. The original “Bella Notte” scene,

Disney Plus’ original Christmas movie Noelle is like a recipe where all the ingredients are delicious, then realizing, once the dish has been cooked, that the flavors cancel each other out. Siblings Noelle (Anna Kendrick) and Nick Kringle (Bill Hader) are facing their first Christmas since the death of their father, Santa Claus (Bryan Brendle). All of the above unfolds without much tension, especially as Noelle proves she’s a natural at exercising the innate Santa skills Nick lacked. Noelle only
