This new version of the film is a complete overhaul, with updated visuals, sound, and editing. Every scene has been reshot, and the filmmakers are working closely with the original creator, Akira Toriyama, using his initial concepts as a guide. Toriyama also wrote the first film, which came out in 2013, before the Dragon Ball Super manga started. A trailer revealing Frieza’s return was recently released during the Dragon Ball Games Battle Hour, confirming this fresh take on the story.

For many years, the game studio Midway created the Mortal Kombat series, starting with the original arcade game in 1995, which was known for its violent competition. When Midway went bankrupt in 2009, Warner Bros. acquired the Mortal Kombat franchise and renamed the studio NetherRealm Studios in April 2010. While this team had previously developed the less-successful Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, their next game, released a year after the studio’s rebranding, was much more popular.

It’s been almost a year since the game first came out, and it wasn’t well-received. Unfortunately, we’re still hearing negative updates about it.

Nintendo recently revealed a new trailer for Splatoon Raiders, highlighting how players can customize their characters and the game’s focus on using gadgets in battles. News of the trailer came through the Nintendo Today app, and wasn’t part of a larger Nintendo Direct presentation or scheduled event.

Fans were thrilled to see Jensen Ackles return as Soldier Boy, hinting at a Supernatural reunion with Jared Padalecki and Misha Collins, a possibility first shown in the trailer for The Boys Season 5. While everyone was excited about seeing the trio together again, details about Padalecki and Collins’ roles remained a mystery – until recently, when Padalecki’s character was finally revealed. Although he hasn’t appeared in Season 5 yet, knowing who he’s playing makes his debut even more anticipated, and he’s sure to deliver a strong performance.

This week, Argonaut Games announced they’re planning to bring back Buck Bumble, a quirky N64 shooter from November 1998. Players control Buck Bumble, a cyborg bee, and fly through various levels, battling other mutated insects. While the game didn’t receive great reviews when it was originally published by Ubisoft, it’s remained popular with N64 fans, largely due to its memorable title music.

It’s hard to believe there was a time when Klaus Mikaelson wasn’t a central figure in The Vampire Diaries. When he first came to Mystic Falls, he was determined to break a curse, but he ended up adding so much more to the story. As one of the original vampires – meaning he was among the very first – he expanded the show’s mythology and brought plenty of his own conflicts with him. Though mentioned in Season 2’s “Rose” and briefly seen possessing Alaric Saltzman in “Know Thy Enemy,” Klaus fully appeared as Joseph Morgan in the episode “Klaus,” which first aired on April 21, 2011.

Since Sony released its improved PSSR2 upscaler earlier this year, the PlayStation 5 has been outperforming other consoles. This continues to be true with the impressive debut game from Hugh and Diana, much like we saw with Resident Evil Requiem.

I’ve noticed a common thread in many anime, and it really started with Goku’s Super Saiyan transformation in Dragon Ball Z. It was such a powerful idea, and it paved the way for other shows to do something similar. Naruto definitely took this to heart and used it effectively. But honestly, a lot of anime have explored this concept, and some of their transformations are even more over-the-top than anything we saw in Dragon Ball or Naruto.

As a longtime fan, I remember when things really changed for South Park. Today marks the anniversary of the only time an episode was actually censored right after it first aired. It was April 21st, 2010 – sixteen years ago! – when they released “201”, the 201st episode. It brought back a lot of storylines from the show’s history, but it also featured the Prophet Muhammad, which caused a huge uproar. The creators even received death threats, and Comedy Central actually decided to censor the episode, which is still banned today.
