Highlighting the “story of Shadow & Maria”.
We already know Sonic 3 movie director Jeff Fowler has a special connection with Shadow the Hedgehog, and now ahead of the third movie’s launch this month, he’s taken to social media to show off the “first piece of concept art” created for the latest outing.

A chat with Simogo.
You walk into a poorly lit, seemingly empty hotel. In desperate need of someone to speak to, you hesitantly wander just a single room farther from the entrance, down a serene walkway. You are funnelled into a similarly poorly lit library. You’re second-guessing why you are in this hotel, and why it even has a library, yet your eye is strangely caught by a particular book among the busy shelves.
You let this curiosity afford you a few steps deeper. You reach up a tip-toe’s distance to that possibly glowing book, then hesitantly pull on its spine. You find that it’s heavy. It flops down and you catch it with your other arm. The book, now sprawled open, reveals the following:

Monkeying around.
The weekend is here, which means it’s time to relax and dive into a few games after what has no doubt been another busy, busy week. Before we do, however, let’s recap some of the week’s biggest stories.
First up, it was revealed that Tencent would be bringing an end to online services for the Nintendo Switch in China in 2026. Just one more reason for folks in the region to import their consoles, right? Nintendo has also officially placed Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom into the franchise’s wider timeline. Very important stuff, we’re sure you’ll agree.

It apparently wasn’t suitable for the LEGO brand.
The LEGO video games have tapped all sorts of IP over the years, but one project that never did see the light of day was a James Bond entry.
TT Games was at one point working on its own brick-based spin-off of the 007 franchise and now footage of this pitch has surfaced online. It shows the famous agent in many iconic scenes facing off against characters like Oddjob and Jaws, driving a variety of different vehicles and utilising all sorts of gadgets.

Fans are already calling for a Nintendo release.
Nintendo’s platforms have hosted all sorts of iconic series over the years, but one we haven’t seen just yet is Shenmue. While nothing has admittedly changed on this front, a recent announcement has reignited hopes.

You’re gunna hear me Rauru.
Remember earlier this year when Nintendo revealed its range of controller button fidget toys, sold exclusively in the gacha machines of its Japan stores? Well, it looks like there’s a new collection in town to get us envious all over again.
As spotted by a whole host of people today on Twitter and BlueSky, it appears that the Tokyo Nintendo Store is home to a new gacha collection, one that contains miniature magnetic Zonai devices from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Oh, be still, my beating heart.

Just stop.
It’s no secret that the Switch eShop is home to a ridiculous amount of utter slop alongside the genuinely good games, but what’s baffling us is just how unwilling Nintendo seems to be to improve anything.
Just this week, we highlighted a game that blatantly copied Witch Beam’s homework with Unpacking, and now it seems as though Pokémon is once again in the firing line. Specifically, following the success of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket on mobile, a new game has cropped up for pre-order on the eShop called TCG Card Shop Master.

Over the course of this week, the musician has dropped a trio of new tracks inspired by the worlds of gaming and anime, all of which are now available on a host of streaming services including YouTube Music, Spotify and Amazon Music — and we’ve linked them in throughout this article, because we’re kind like that
