Fans were genuinely surprised by one particular direct-to-DVD sequel – it was remarkably good! Not only did it surpass the previous sequel in quality, but it cleverly reminded everyone what made the original film so special. The Lion King 1 1/2, released on DVD 22 years ago today – February 10, 2004 – was a hilarious addition to the series and a refreshing tribute to the beloved original.
A recent Marvel mini-series, Spirits of Violence, brought together Ghost Riders from across the globe to battle a new enemy: the Spirit of Violence. The story resurrected Danny Ketch’s sister, Barbara, turning her into a host for this powerful spirit. It also brought back Johnny Blaze’s wife, Roxanne, as the villain known as Black Rose. As the Ghost Riders united against this threat, Danny Ketch made a final, selfless act, sacrificing himself and holding his sister still so they could both be destroyed by the Blight Blade.
The popular underwater survival game Subnautica is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on February 17th, and it’s getting a significant upgrade. Originally released in 2018 and available on Switch since 2021, the game will now run at a smooth 60 frames per second on the new hardware. When played on a TV, Subnautica will display in 1440p resolution, and the handheld version will run at 1080p. This upgraded version aims to provide a much better experience than the previous Switch release, which was limited by the older console’s power.
The new Spider-Noir series from Sony Pictures Television will launch this spring on MGM+ and Prime Video. Created by showrunners Steve Lightfoot and Oren Uziel, the show expands on the alternate Spider-Man universes first introduced in the 2018 animated film, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
JB Perrette, who leads global streaming and games at Warner Bros. Discovery, made the announcement during a press event for the launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland.
As the price shimmies and shakes, it reveals a clear demand response reminiscent of a bustling marketplace where the fresh produce is just too good to resist. After slumping down to $1.12-a price that might as well be the bottom of a deep, dark well-the price of XRP found itself the object of consistent affections, bouncing back above the magical $1.30 before settling comfortably near $1.40. Instead of a wild leap, this recovery has unfolded with all the grace of a tortoise climbing a hill-through multiple higher lows, indicating that buyers are indeed gathering rather than frantically covering their shorts.
Unknown Worlds Entertainment recently shared a new developer update detailing how they’ve integrated multiplayer into the game. They want to assure players that the game will still be a great single-player experience, but you’ll also have the option to easily play with friends. Plus, with cross-platform play and dedicated player lists, finding and joining sessions will be simple and smooth, potentially creating some fantastic new memories.
CM Punk walks into the arena, and a serious voice-over reveals his focus wasn’t on becoming famous, but on staying true to himself and doing things his way. The game seems to offer players a similar chance to explore an alternate path – what might have happened if he hadn’t stepped away from the public eye.
Bethesda might be holding off on an announcement to avoid it getting lost amongst other game reveals at the event, particularly Sony’s big titles. While that’s understandable, fans – especially those eager to play the game on PlayStation 5 – would probably welcome any news at this stage.
I’d love to see Mario in a football game, but I’m hoping Nintendo will revisit a surprisingly fun idea from the 3DS: horse racing. Mario Sports Superstars included a fantastic horse racing mode, and it’s been missing ever since. With the recent success of Umamusume: Pretty Derby, a popular game about horse-girl racing, 2026 would be the ideal time to bring this back.
