Originally launched in 2007 for the Nintendo DS, *The World Ends With You* is considered one of the best RPGs on the system and a standout title from Square. The game was developed by the team behind *Kingdom Hearts*, but offered a fresh and unique experience compared to that popular collaboration. Despite its innovation and positive reception, it didn’t receive much attention until a sequel and a later re-release, which is unfortunate given how much potential it had.

The preview for the final season of *My Hero Academia*, aptly named “The End of An Era,” shows things are getting difficult for All Might. Surprisingly, hero killer Stain appears and uses his Quirk to restrain All For One, hoping to help All Might and give Deku a chance. The episode description asks if Stain’s ability to stop blood flow, combined with All Might’s secret strategy, will be enough to defeat All For One. You can watch the preview below.

The new PlayStation 5 exclusive game immediately topped the Japanese sales charts, selling over 120,000 copies in its first week, according to Famitsu and reported by Gematsu.

If you pre-order the game, you’ll also get the “Drippy Stuff” pack, which adds 40 new items to customize your character’s appearance and create unique outfits.

So, in this video, Cerny and Huynh talked about three really cool tech advancements that I think are going to change gaming for the better. They’re saying these aren’t just for one console, but will actually help the whole industry move forward, which is awesome!

The video explains how machine learning is helping game developers create better games. It allows for simpler workflows and more efficient graphics, while still enabling them to build the large, detailed worlds that players expect.

It’s still unclear if this update will bring new content or features. Also coming soon is *I Hate This Place*, a survival horror game from Broken Mirror Games, which was recently delayed. It will now be released on January 29, 2026.

Publishers don’t usually announce when a manga series is canceled due to poor sales, but it’s often clear if the series ends abruptly around 50-60 chapters. Many fans believe *Super Psychic Policeman Chojo* was canceled for this reason. However, there’s renewed interest in the series thanks to a surprising third-place ranking in the Next Manga Awards this September and the announcement of an anime adaptation by Arvo Animation. The news was shared by @WSJ_manga, a popular unofficial source for *Shonen Jump* news. The anime, directed by Junichi Yamamoto – known for his visual effects work on the acclaimed film *Your Name* – is scheduled to be released in 2026.

The basic Nintendo Switch Online membership gives you access to a library of classic NES and SNES games – you don’t need the more expensive Expansion Pack for those. Nintendo is adding to that collection, and SNES fans now have three more retro titles to enjoy on both the Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2. Starting October 8th, subscribers can play *Mario & Wario*, *Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind*, and *Fatal Fury Special*.

Before James Cameron became a famous director with films like *The Terminator* (1984), he worked various jobs in the film industry. He started as a production assistant on *Rock ‘n’ Roll High School* in 1979 and then joined Roger Corman’s New World Pictures, where he worked as a model maker and art director. During this time, he contributed to a well-known, though often debated, sci-fi film from the 1980s – a role many might not realize he had. He has since disowned his earlier directorial effort, *Piranha II: The Spawning* (1982).
