A unique collab ahead of Sonic X Shadow Generations.
The dark knight Batman this week is celebrating his 85th birthday, and in an interesting little crossover, Sega has teamed up to commemorate his origin. It’s not clear if this could lead to more, but the DC Comics description of this same video calls it a “partnership”. The following description is also attached:
“The shadows hold the key for what lies ahead…Happy Batman Day!”

“We have tons of ideas we’d want to implement”.
Earlier this week, Bandai Namco surprised Freedom Wars fans with the announcement of a remaster for the Switch and multiple other platforms. This game will arrive on 10th January next year and apparently it could open the door for a sequel.
Speaking to IGN, director Takashi Tsukamoto mentioned how he hopes the remaster can be successful enough to “take the next step into potentially releasing a sequel“. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation right now, but the team has “tons of ideas” if it does go ahead:

Now you’re playing with power!
Gaming peripheral company ‘8BitDo’ has launched a new line of NES-inspired keycaps, which can be used on mechanical keyboards. These are apparently the same designs from its retro keyboard, which was released in 2023 (thanks, The Verge).

Splinters not included.
It finally happened: Lego and The Legend of Zelda have come together, and the form they’ve taken is that of the Great Deku Tree in two delicious flavours. Whether you prefer Ocarina of Time’s or Breath of the Wild’s incarnation, this kit covers both. Not at the same time, of course – that would be yet more expensive, we’re sure.
But growing a mighty tree like this takes time, so join us, will you? We’ve got a Great Deku Tree to build.

Cap it off.
Well folks, the weekend is here and it’s capping off (heh) a pretty interesting week in the world of Nintendo.
For starters, it’s been a big one for the upcoming Switch successor. Many folks online thought that this would be ‘the’ week that Nintendo would finally reveal the new console, but alas, it wasn’t to be. Instead, we got a glimpse at what might be with a series of renders and photos of unknown origin. Are they real? Are they fake? We still don’t know for sure, but we’re certainly intrigued.

Punching onto Switch next month.
After making a surprise appearance at last month’s Partner Direct, SEGA has today unveiled a closer look at Yakuza Kiwami on Switch in a brand-new ‘Play it Together!’ trailer.
It has been almost 20 years since the first game in the series landed on PS2 (of which Kiwami is a remake), and this new trailer is all about the cross-generational appeal of walking around the streets of Kamurocho, beating up any punk that looks at you funny. We wouldn’t put any of the Like a Dragon games into the “family-friendly” category, but the trailer is a sweet watch, all the same.

Honk.
If you played through Thank Goodness You’re Here earlier this year and thought, “yes, I want more of that,” then you’re in luck. Publisher Panic (alongside House House and Chromosphere) has channelled all those comedy vibes into a proof-of-concept short for an ‘Untitled Goose Programme‘ that never was, and it seriously made us chuckle.
All of the Untitled Goose Game vibes are present and correct here: a quaint English town, a meddling goose, chaos, but it’s all bent into a programme format reminiscent of old-school BBC scheduling. You’ll watch as an increasingly ridiculous episode of ‘Where is He Now?’ is derailed by the titular goose, leaving its presenter and guest groundskeeper soaked, injured and with their life’s work in tatters — not bad in four minutes, eh?
