Over more than 70 years, with 40 movies and appearances in many cartoons and comics, Godzilla has become a huge franchise with a complicated history. In fact, Guinness World Records recognizes it as the longest-running movie franchise ever! But because the story has grown over so many years, with each new addition building on what came before, the details don’t always quite line up. And unfortunately, it’s not going to get any easier to make sense of it all.

Episode 5 of Witch Hat Atelier, titled “The Dragon’s Labyrinth,” really captures the heart of the series. The episode focuses on Coco’s cleverness as she and her friends try to escape a difficult situation, and the beautiful animation and music perfectly match her development as a character. While Coco is central to the story, Qifrey truly shines as he uses his power to rescue Agott and the others from the labyrinth. The scene is incredibly impressive and visually stunning—some might even say it’s more spectacular than the finale of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 3.

Nakanishi noted that the recent cuts to the game are similar to what happened with Resident Evil 7 in 2017. He explained (through translation) that Resident Evil 7 also had a chapter removed before launch – a section originally intended to cover the player’s transition from the guest house to the main house. He’s discussed this ‘phantom Chapter 2’ in previous interviews.

Offroad Extreme! Special Edition is a poorly made off-road racing game originally created as a student project. While the developers weren’t actually chimpanzees, the game’s frustrating issues – terrible graphics, unresponsive controls, and sluggish performance – might make you think otherwise! It uses the Wii remote for steering, but it rarely works as intended, making it nearly impossible to win or even complete a race. Released for the Wii in 2012, the game received universally negative reviews and runs at a very low framerate – around 20 frames per second, or even lower.

Valve has told IGN that the Steam Machine is nearing release. While they didn’t give a specific date, they promised to share official news about timing “soon.” This suggests the Steam Machine is still expected to launch in the first half of 2026, as originally planned.

Rockstar and Team Bondi’s detective game is still incredibly popular after almost 15 years, and there are small hints that it might be revived.

While much of the recent discussion has centered on bringing the game to consoles other than PlayStation 5, director Naoki Hamaguchi also hinted at the upcoming third and final part of the remake. He told Comicbook that Square Enix is currently working on plans to officially announce it.

James Gunn explained why Lex Luthor wouldn’t realize Clark Kent is Superman. He pointed out three things: first, Lex believes Superman is a hostile alien invader and wouldn’t expect him to have a hidden life. Second, the hypnotic disguise Clark uses is genuinely effective. And third, just because Lex is brilliant in fields like genetics and physics doesn’t mean he’s perceptive in all areas – he can still overlook simple things, just like many experts in other fields. Gunn noted that the explanation already existed within the DC Comics source material, so he didn’t need to elaborate further to resolve the fan debate.

A recent post on X (formerly Twitter) revealed that PlayStation 4 games now require a license check every 30 days to confirm they are legitimate copies. It appears the PlayStation 5 has a similar system, though it’s less noticeable.
