Netflix released the first season of Dead End: Paranormal Park on June 16th, launching a supernatural series about Barney and Norma, who work at a haunted amusement park. Their adventures included Barney’s pug, Pugsley, and a thousand-year-old demon named Courtney.

Although the exact reasons for the show’s cancellation after two seasons are unknown, many viewers believe the sensitive subject matter and resulting online backlash from prominent figures played a significant role.

So, Nintendo just announced something cool on their website!

It’s not just for new subscribers! Even if you already have Switch Online, you can upgrade to the Expansion Pack or just buy another year of that, and you’ll still get the bonus month. It’s a nice little perk, honestly!

The anime adaptation of Kagurabachi recently released a new teaser showcasing the main character, Chihiro Rokuhira, and giving fans their first full look at his anime design.
