It seems outlandish to think about now that it’s sold 156 million units , but there was a lot of skepticism about the Nintendo Switch in October 2016. source https://www.polygon.com/nintendo-switch-nx-reveal-october-2016/

The Avengers are massively successful on the big screen, with four films collectively making nearly $8 billion at the worldwide box office. But that cinematic success hasn't carried over to the video game world. Crystal Dynamics’ 2020 Marvel’s Avengers was a disappointment, with a tepid response from critics and players both. While the character writing was on point, its combat was a repetitive grind built around superfluous live-service elements. source https://www.polygon.com/marvel-guardians-galaxy-underrated-superhero-game/

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System has one of the finest game catalogs of any console ever released, and there's a strong selection of 77 games available on Nintendo Classics as part of Nintendo Switch Online. Sadly, most of the console's great third-party games aren't represented; you won't find Chrono Trigger , Final Fantasy 6 , or Street Fighter 2 Turbo on the service. source https://www.polygon.com/best-snes-games-nintendo-switch-online-classics/

2026 officially has a new highest-rated game of the year. Reviews are in for Phantom Blade Zero , the Wuxia-inspired action game from S-Game, and they've solidified it as one of the best-reviewed games of 2026 — a feat that could help its chances at scoring a nomination for the 2026 Game Awards in December. source https://www.polygon.com/phantom-blade-zero-review-roundup-score/

It’s been a pretty great year to be a horror fan. Obsession became one of 2026’s biggest surprise hits, Backrooms turned an internet nightmare into a box-office smash, and even smaller releases like Hokum found an audience.

HBO has officially renewed It: Welcome to Derry for a second season, sending Pennywise and the cursed Maine town even further into the past. source https://www.polygon.com/stephen-king-it-welcome-to-derry-season-2-renewal-hbo-max/

Nintendo is attempting something it hasn't done in more than 30 years : make a live-action adaptation of its video games. The Legend of Zelda from Sony Pictures and Nintendo is slated for release in April 2027, bringing the fantasy role-playing game franchise to life in a way never seen before. (Well, except for that one Japanese commercial for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past with a rappin' Link.) source https://www.polygon.com/the-legend-of-zelda-2027-movie-cast-link-zelda-ganondorf/
