Nintendo launched a new music-streaming app on Wednesday that lets fans revisit some of the game maker’s most beloved tunes, ranging from Switch games like Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 3 back to NES classics Metroid and Super Mario Bros. Nintendo Music — not a sequel to Wii Music — is exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, and can be downloaded now for Android and iOS devices from the Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store , respectively. The Nintendo Music app behaves a lot like established music-streaming services like Spotify. Users can browse by game, platform, and character, or throw on mood-based playlists. Nintendo Music will let users loop songs for up to an hour, create their own playlists, and download tunes for offline listening. The app even has a spoiler setting that will prevent you from hearing songs from boss battles or big moments you might not have encountered yet. Nintendo Music’s selection is pretty meager, compared to Nintendo’

There’s a new Dragon Age game out, and for fans who’ve been tapped into the series for 15 years, it’s an incredibly exciting time (especially since 10 of those years involved simply… waiting for this game). But 15 years and three games means a lot of lore for new fans, especially if you’re a new fan coming from last year’s sprawling choice-driven fantasy RPG. If you’re a fan of Baldur’s Gate 3 who’s decided to take a chance on Dragon Age, jumping right into the lore can be a lot. It’s not totally inaccessible, but there are a lot of big reveals that will feel more impactful if you have some context about the world of Thedas and what the previous three games have built toward.  Dragon Age is defined by apocalypses The history of Dragon Age’s setting is kind of like a rolling succession of apocalypses. For close to a millennium, Thedas (an internal BioWare abbreviation for “ The D ragon A ge S etting” that stuck) has been plagued by five Blights, in which monsters called Darksp

By the end of next year, Marvel’s Spider-Man and Final Fantasy’s Cloud Strife will finally meet on the battlefield. No, this isn’t a teaser from a Super Smash Bros. trailer or a breaking deal on a pair of Fortnite skins. Rather, this is what a competitive Magic: The Gathering tournament will look like in the very near future. And it’s all because of something called Universes Beyond, which will have increased prominence in the trading card game starting in 2025.  It might seem trivial to outside observers, but in truth the rise of Universes Beyond marks the biggest change to the legendary trading card game in a generation. Here’s how it all went down, and what it means for the future of Magic . Traditionally, Wizards of the Coast has always told its own stories inside the Magic Multiverse. It’s a capability that the publisher has touted for decades now, an evolving world-building machine manned by freelance artists, internal game designers, and all-seeing art directors that all

Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine , a collision of the Fox X-Men universe and MCU proper , is the biggest hit of the year so far. In fact, 14 weeks after its premiere, it’s still in 300 theaters, scraping a few thousand bucks here and there to brings its grand box-office total to $636.5 million — and that’s just in the States. But it’s on its last legs, which means it’s time for Deadpool & Wolverine to get the primetime pre-Thanksgiving streaming release date that ensures it becomes the biggest thing on the planet a second time. Disney announced on Wednesday the movie arrives to Disney Plus on Nov. 12. The streaming release will also arrive with Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy’s movie commentary, which as Polygon previewed earlier this fall, is ripe with behind-the-scenes insight and expected dipshittery . Whatever you think of Deadpool & Wolverine , this is honestly a great turn of events – why don’t more streaming releases come bundled with director commentaries? D

2023 was an exceptional year for anime . And if the early months of 2024 are any indication, audiences can likely expect another great year of terrific shows.

The franticness of anime seasons can always end up leaving some shows flying under the radar in terms of their discussion, either overshadowed by the shonen of the month or maybe just passed over because people tuned out for a bit (in this case, the Olympic broadcasts disrupted things a little). And so here I am, hat in hand, as an incredibly high-profile fall season begins to accelerate, to say: You should really consider catching up on the bird politics anime from April.  Well, bird politics and mystery, historical fantasy, among other things. We’re talking about Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master , directed by Yoshiaki Kyōgoku ( Laid Back Camp ) with animation production from studio Pierrot (famous for Naruto and Yu Yu Hakusho ) .  It’s one of the most captivating and unique anime series of the past few months, constantly elaborating on its curious historical fantasy world, building it out with compelling sociological detail and the rippling effects of its main,
