Fans were excited about the upcoming anime Sentenced to Be a Hero when it was originally scheduled to release this fall. However, the release was unexpectedly pushed back several months to January. Now that the anime is almost here after the delay, a new poster and trailer have been released to preview the series, which is expected to premiere in 2026.

The original Pokemon Stadium first launched in Japan in 1998 as Pocket Monsters Stadium. Two years later, it became available worldwide on the Nintendo 64 and quickly became popular thanks to its 3D battles and fun mini-games.

Released in Japan 25 years ago on December 14th, 2000, Pokemon Stadium 2 unfortunately marked the end of the Pokemon Stadium series, a decision many believe was a mistake.

I’m really looking forward to Tomb Raider: Catalyst, and it’s not just because of the updated gameplay and graphics. For the first time in over two decades – since a quick visit in Tomb Raider III back in 1998 – Lara Croft is venturing into India, a location rarely seen in video games. This could be a significant development for the series, allowing a previously brief setting to become a central and meaningful part of the story when Tomb Raider: Catalyst is released in 2027, and potentially breathe new life into the franchise.

Look, Spielberg is a master of so many genres, but comedy has always been his Achilles’ heel. He’s really only tackled a straight-up comedy once – his sixth film, 1941.

While he’s dipped his toe in with funny-ish dramas like Catch Me If You Can and The Terminal, he’s definitely steered clear of making another full-on comedy.
