I’m so excited about Lanterns! It looks like the story jumps between 2016 and 2026, with Kyle Chandler playing Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern in the earlier timeline, and Aaron Pierre taking on the role by 2026. The new trailer really hints at what both of them are up to, and that chilling question – “Are you afraid?” – keeps running through my head. We finally get a good look at Hal’s costume, and apparently Nathan Fillion is going to make an appearance as Guy Gardner too! I can’t wait!

Back in 1991, Wolf Team (later becoming part of Bandai Namco in 2012) created an action game called Arcus Odyssey, and it was initially available only on the Sega Genesis. While the game eventually came to other systems, it first launched as a Genesis exclusive. Now, in 2026, Limited Run Games is bringing back this classic with a special physical release – but not for today’s consoles. They’re making it for the original Sega Genesis!

One of the things that makes Dead as Disco so fun is its gameplay, which perfectly times every punch, kick, combo, and finishing move to the music. This makes every fight feel powerful and creates a lot of rewarding moments when you land hits on the beat. Plus, the game’s action is similar to popular series known for their smooth, complex combat systems, letting you create a really stylish and fluid fighting experience.

I’m so excited about Adventure Time: Side Quests! It’s a brand new series that brings Finn and Jake back to Ooo for a fresh wave of adventures. Think of it as a companion to the original – it’s going to revisit some of their earliest days, but with shorter, self-contained stories. Best of all, a lot of the original voice actors are returning! Hulu is releasing it this summer, and they’ve already given us a first look – it looks amazing!

Rocksteady, the studio behind the Batman Arkham series, is credited as a co-developer on the game, according to VGC. Around 24 people from Rocksteady – including senior programmers, artists, a designer, and a producer – contributed to the project. Warner Bros. Games Montreal, known for Batman: Arkham Origins and Gotham Knights, also assisted in development.

The level designer clarified that this isn’t a game focused on killing. They suggested players who enjoy that type of gameplay might prefer something like Sons of the Forest instead.

As you might expect, first editions of The Hobbit are extremely valuable. Recently, a signed first edition sold for an incredible $450,000, setting a new record for the book. This copy is a second printing – the first sold out by December 15, 1937, and this one was ready by December 19 (though it wasn’t available for purchase until early 1938). What makes this copy truly special is that J.R.R. Tolkien himself gave it as a Christmas gift to his housekeeper.

As fans eagerly anticipate the fourth season of the anime, Crunchyroll has announced a partnership with Conqueror, a virtual fitness app. This collaboration will combine fitness challenges with the storyline from the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Participants can enjoy in-app stories, collect virtual cards and postcards, and earn rewards for reaching fitness goals. In addition to this exciting news, a fresh look at popular characters from Jujutsu Kaisen has also been revealed.

So, when can you tune in? Great question! It starts right after the Future Games Show Summer Showcase, which is happening at noon Pacific Time on the same day. And get this – Alix Wilton Regan, who is Lara Croft’s voice in Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, and the always awesome Troy Baker are hosting! They’re promising over 40 new game announcements – everything from huge triple-A titles to cool indie games, and hopefully a little bit of everything else too. I’m so excited!

Box Office Mojo’s numbers for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are estimates, and neither Universal Pictures nor Nintendo has officially confirmed the film’s worldwide earnings. However, reports indicate the movie cost $110 million to make, and with its current box office revenue, it has already earned over eight times that amount.
