It’s easy to overlook the improved graphics on the Switch 2 when comparing games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza to their previous versions. Mario Kart World already looked good next to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and I noticed some extra details – like better hairstyles and fur – in the Switch 2 version of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. However, the differences aren’t immediately obvious unless you compare the games directly. But after playing Mario Tennis Fever, I think this is the first game that really shows off the Switch 2’s capabilities compared to older titles in the series.

More episodes of the animated kids’ show Batwheels are now available on HBO Max! Season 3B premiered on February 6th with five new episodes, bringing the total number of Season 3 episodes to nine. While we don’t know how many episodes Season 3 will have in total or when the next batch will arrive, Batwheels usually has a lot of episodes per season—both Season 1 and Season 2 each had 37! You can stream all episodes of Batwheels on HBO Max.

As a huge fan of both LEGO and Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary, I was so excited to hear they’re releasing a collectible LEGO set! You can actually pre-order it on Amazon right now, though you won’t get it until March 20, 2026. It’s a really impressive set with 830 pieces – definitely not a toy for kids! This is part of the LEGO Icons line, meaning it’s designed as a cool display piece for adults. And get this – it even has interactive features, so you can actually spin parts of it! If you loved the book about the unlikely friendship in Project Hail Mary, you absolutely need this.

Some players are currently testing out Nested Lands in the latest playtest. The game will become available in Early Access on Steam for everyone else on February 25th. That’s exciting news for the over 9,000 people who have already added it to their Steam wishlists – including myself! Plus, the developers have shared a detailed plan showing what new features and content will be added during Early Access, so you don’t have to worry about the game being left unfinished. Here’s a look at what we know about Nested Lands so far.

Originally a series of novels by Nagaru Tanigawa, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya became a hugely popular anime. The story centers on Haruhi, a high school girl who unknowingly has the power to alter reality. Her ordinary classmate, Kyon, finds himself drawn into her strange club, the SOS Brigade, which also includes an alien, a time traveler, and someone with psychic abilities. The series cleverly mixes humor, science fiction, and thoughtful commentary about how stories work. It was a major cultural phenomenon in the mid-to-late 2000s.

Although Star Trek and Star Wars are famous for their impressive spaceships, they aren’t the only sci-fi films with creative and visually stunning designs. Many other movies feature incredibly innovative interstellar vehicles that often don’t get as much attention. Here’s a look at some of the coolest movie spaceships that aren’t from Star Wars or Star Trek.

As a lifelong movie and comic book fan, I’ve seen a lot of powerful heroes, but Marvel has some characters who are just on another level. Sure, they’ve got plenty of heroes dealing with everyday crime, but a few possess the power to wipe out not just this universe, but every possible universe out there! Luckily, these incredibly powerful beings generally use their abilities for good, protecting people and keeping things stable. Over 85 years of Marvel comics, these are the absolute strongest superheroes they’ve ever created, in my opinion.

Wolverine and Sabretooth have clashed in many memorable fights, but a few truly stand out. Their battles are often the most intense Wolverine has faced, and fans have enjoyed them for years. Here’s a list of the ten greatest fights between these two rivals.

So, I was reading an interview with Vincent D’Onofrio over at The Playlist, and they were asking him about whether he might be popping up in the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie this summer. He basically said no, and that he’s holding out for Marvel to fully regain the rights to Kingpin before he even considers getting involved. He wants them to actually ask him to be in one of those films before he starts thinking about it, which, honestly, I totally get!

I’ve been following the weekly charts for non-English shows, and for a long time, Jujutsu Kaisen and Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End consistently held the top spots. Interestingly, the latest data, covering January 26th to February 1st, 2026, now includes Hell’s Paradise this season. According to Netflix Tudum, it landed at number eight with 900,000 views, just below Frieren at number seven with 1.2 million views. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3 is still doing well, currently in fourth place with 1.6 million views.
