Since the 1980s, the Legend of Zelda series has always been an experimental testing ground for Nintendo. Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64 introduced lock-on aiming in melee combat, which became a genre-spanning staple of modern gaming. Twilight Princess on Wii introduced motion controls that added a new level of immersion to the role-playing experience. It wasn't until Breath of the Wild in 2017 that Zelda's sales would finally catch up to its blockbuster ambitions, but crafting a world that offers boundless player freedom was no straightforward task. source https://www.polygon.com/keza-macdonald-super-nintendo/

In a few months, The Mandalorian and Grogu will be leaving the small screen to venture off into your local theater.

That did not prove to be the case. source https://www.polygon.com/star-wars-the-mandalorian-and-grogu-superbowl-trailer-disappointment/

If you’ve played enough of Dungeons & Dragons fifth edition’s published adventures, you may have noticed a recurring detail: mysterious black obelisks popping up in different locations (including Chult, Icewind Dale, and Phandalin) whose true purpose is unclear. More than a simple Easter egg or a 2001: A Space Odyssey reference, these clues were meant to set up a major final adventure that never came to fruition. And now, we know why. source https://www.polygon.com/dnd-5e-final-adventure-time-travel-obelisks-vecna/
