Yoshi is a beloved character for Nintendo, and the makers of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie recognized how important he is to fans. The film gave Yoshi a detailed backstory and accurately showed his close relationship with Mario and Luigi. Interestingly, when Nintendo and Illumination were searching for a voice actor – knowing Yoshi doesn’t say much – Chris Pratt actually volunteered himself for the part! The result has been a hit with both critics and audiences, which is great news for Nintendo and Illumination, especially with a popular star like Pratt involved. Furthermore, Yoshi’s games have a distinctive style that could make his movie stand out from other animated Mario adventures.

In the 2000s, Marvel introduced a lot of popular characters – some brand new, and others who took on the mantles of previous heroes. These exciting additions helped launch a strong new era for Marvel Comics in the 21st century.

Norman Osborn, also known as The Green Goblin, has always been Spider-Man’s main enemy. Willem Dafoe famously played the character in the 2002 Spider-Man movie and was so well-received that he returned nearly two decades later for Spider-Man: No Way Home in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, a new actor will be taking on the role of The Green Goblin, according to a veteran Marvel producer.

The anime Witch Hat Atelier has launched with its first two episodes, and viewers are already enjoying it. However, some fans have pointed out differences between the anime and the original manga. Hiroaki Kojima, a producer at the animation studio Bug Films, explained on social media that these changes were made to fit the time limitations of a TV series. He stated that, “In TV anime, we unfortunately have to cut scenes sometimes due to time constraints.”

Surprise game releases, often called ‘shadow drops,’ can generate a lot of excitement and sales very quickly – I even contributed to crashing the PlayStation store when Oblivion Remastered unexpectedly launched! While not every surprise release is a success, some have been incredibly beneficial. I still believe we might see The Elder Scrolls 6 released as a shadow drop when it’s finished, but here are some of the biggest and most successful surprise game launches from recent years.

When Fox Kids ended in 2002, 4Kids Entertainment filled the gap with a new programming block called FoxBox, which later became 4Kids TV in 2005. This block ran until 2008, when a financial disagreement between 4Kids and Fox led to its cancellation. Over its six years, 4Kids TV became known for popular shows like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Sonic X, and Winx Club. Combined, Fox Kids and 4Kids TV provided animated programming on Fox’s Saturday mornings for eighteen years, creating many shows that gained a dedicated fanbase. Despite their success, some of these beloved programs aren’t as well-remembered today.

A PlayStation 5 user shared a redesigned home screen on the PlayStation subreddit, highlighting upcoming changes to the PS5 interface. Since the console launched in 2020, the home screen hasn’t seen major updates, with only smaller additions like the Welcome Hub. Now, Sony is planning a significant overhaul, moving key apps – like PS Plus, the PS Store, and your game library – to a new bar at the top of the screen. You’ll be able to scroll through this bar using the L1 and R1 buttons, keeping your games front and center.

According to Automaton, the negative reaction is mainly coming from fans in Japan, and the latest announcement has received a lot of criticism on social media.
