Seth Rogen is among the producers bringing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back to the big screen. A CG-animated feature film reboot, titled simply Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, was announced Tuesday by Nickelodeon.

Point Grey Pictures — the production company run by Rogen, Evan Goldberg and James Weaver — will produce along with Nickelodeon Animation Studio in the latter’s first-ever CG theatrical production.

Paramount Pictures will distribute the film.

Rogen is no stranger to producing adaptations of comic book properties, as he has also brought Preacher and The Boys to life on the small screen.

This animated TMNT movie reboot will be directed by Jeff Rowe (Gravity Falls, Connected, Disenchantment) and written by Brendan O’Brian (Neighbors, Sorority Rising, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates).

Created in 1984 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles began as an indie comic book series before becoming a beloved animated TV series.

The comics beget a live-action TV series and, on the big screen, a slew of feature films since the 1990s.

The last CG-animated TMNT feature film was released in 2007, with a pair of Michael Bay-produced live-action movies released in 2014 and 2016.

No word yet on a release date for this Rogen-produced TMNT movie.

Paper Mario: The Origami King will arrive exclusively for Nintendo Switch on July 17. A new entry in the Mushroom Kingdom-set RPG series, it features the traditional flat paper versions of Mario and friends, as well as new origami characters and powers. Nintendo games don’t generally get fancy special editions or preorder bonuses, and Paper Mario: The Origami King is no different. Even so, you can preorder the standard edition now.

The villain this time around is the origami King Olly and his army of “folded soldiers,” who have captured Princess Peach’s castle on their quest to fold the world. To fight back, Mario is equipped with stretchy 1000-fold arms, which he can put to use in a revamped battle system. Helping Mario out is a new partner named Olivia–King Olly’s sister–and even Bowser. It sounds wild (cue the Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show mind-blown gif).

If you’re a fan of Pokemon and shirts, then by golly, do I have a story for you. The Pokemon Company and Original Stitch have come together to create a line of custom Pokemon designs that are available in a number of different types of shirts, including polos, button-ups, and Hawaiian shirts. Any of the first 251 Pokemon from Gen 1 and Gen 2 are available for customization, though supplies are limited, so you’ll want to act fast if you want a specific Pokemon’s design.

Original Stitch’s designs are pretty awesome, though they’re also quite expensive. The polo shirts start at $85 USD each, while all button-ups start at $100 with customization options like pockets and different collars costing extra. Shipping for a single shirt costs $15, though if you purchase a second, you’ll get your order shipped free of charge. Since these are custom orders, the shirts are expected to ship in three-to-four weeks.

Pokemon x Original Stitch shirts

Starts at $85

Some of our favourite designs include the Koffing Hawaiian shirt, Beedrill polo, and Togepi button-up. Many of the designs are quite subtle, so you’ll only notice they’re made of Pokemon if you look closely. This makes them feel like they’d be great for most formal-casual occasions, while still letting you represent your favourite Pokemon. You can check out the full slate of designs at Original Stitch.

These shirts come just after the release of Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s first DLC expansion, the Isle of Armor, which adds a new story, area, and Pokemon. Our Isle of Armor review praised the new Wild Area and quality-of-life changes.

After a notice on the Microsoft Store indicated Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time would feature “in-app purchases,” discussion began about whether that meant Crash 4 would include microtransactions at launch. According to developer Toys for Bob, there won’t be, and it seems the culprit behind the “in-app purchase” moniker may be the free cosmetic skins that will be available as a preorder bonus.

Toys for Bob has confirmed Crash 4 will have “no microtransactions” in a new statement, saying:

“We’re seeing confusion about #MTX in Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time and want to be [gem emoji] clear. There are NO MICROTRANSACTIONS in the game. As a bonus, the Totally Tubular skins are included in all digital versions of the game.”

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/06/29/crash-bandicoot-4-new-gameplay-shows-new-tricks-returning-moves”]

The “in-app purchases” moniker led many to assume there would be DLC, either cosmetic or gameplay-wise, that Activision could charge players for from day 1. According to the developers, however, there are no microtransactions at this time.

While, of course, DLC could be added down the line or more cosmetics made available via in-game purchases — Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled did add microtransactions with the ability to buy Wumpa Coins with real-world money after its launch — the developers appear to want to assuage fans’ concerns that Crash 4’s launch will be held back by additional content that has to be purchased on top of the base game.

The Switch Lite is a handheld-only version of the Switch, and it comes with built-in controllers, meaning you can’t detach them like you can on the standard Switch. That said, it’s a more portable device than its older sibling, and the color schemes are pretty great.

For more details and reasons why we gave it an 8.3/10, check out our Switch Lite review.

Pokemon Sword and Shield‘s Gigantamax event has ended, but a new Max Raid event is now underway in the games. This one runs until July 31 and features a handful of Rock- and Steel-type Pokemon, including the Gigantamax forms of Coalossal and Copperajah.

Throughout the event, you’ll have a chance to encounter the following Pokemon in Max Raid dens around the Wild Area in both Sword and Shield. You’ll also earn a variety of helpful items for completing the Raids, including Nuggets, Star Pieces, and some rare berries.

• Onix
• Steelix
• Galarian Meowth
• Perrserker
• Rhyhorn
• Rhydon
• Rhyperior
• Rolycoly
• Carkol
• Coalossal (Gigantamax)
• Cufant
• Copperajah (Gigantamax)

Before you can participate in the event, you’ll first need to refresh your Raid dens. You can do this either by connecting the Y-Comm online or going into Mystery Gift and selecting Get the Wild Area news.

The new Max Raid event follows on the heels of the recent Zeraora event, which saw players cooperating to defeat the Mythical Pokemon one million times. Since that goal was surpassed, The Pokemon Company is giving away a free Shiny Zeraora to all Sword and Shield players, even if you didn’t participate in the event. To claim it, you’ll need to transfer a Pokemon from Sword or Shield into Pokemon Home (or vice versa) before July 6; do that and you’ll find the free Mythical Pokemon waiting in your Gift Box.

Alongside the Shiny Zeraora, The Pokemon Company is also giving away all three Galar starters with their Hidden Abilities, as well as a download code for Armorite Ore–a new item introduced in the Isle of Armor expansion. Among other uses, Armorite Ore can be exchanged to teach your Pokemon some brand-new items, making them valuable.

The Isle of Armor is the first of two DLC expansions releasing for Pokemon Sword and Shield this year. In our Isle of Armor review, critic Kallie Plagge wrote, “DLC is new to the main-series Pokemon games, and it’s certainly a great alternative to replaying the same game a year or two later when the souped-up rerelease comes out. But like the traditional third or ‘Ultra’ version, The Isle of Armor does refine much of the experience we had in vanilla Sword and Shield, with a more interesting Wild Area to explore and some small quality-of-life tweaks that further the progress Gen 8 has made in that regard.”

Nintendo has made a formal apology for Joy-Con dirft issues frequently experienced with the Nintendo Switch’s controllers, although is unable to provide further comment due to the problem being the subject of a current class-action lawsuit.

[ignvideo url=”https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/05/11/joy-con-drift-is-still-a-huge-problem-3-years-later”]

The apology was made during Nintendo’s latest financial Q&A. “Regarding the Joy-Con, we apologize for any trouble caused to our customers,” said Shuntaro Furukawa, the company’s president, as reported by Kotaku. “We are continuing to aim to improve our products, but as the Joy-Con is the subject of a class-action lawsuit in the United States and this is still a pending issue, we would like to refrain from responding about any specific actions.”

Joy-Con drift has been an issue hounding Nintendo Switch users for three years and counting. Since the console launched many players have found that their analogue sticks ‘drift’, meaning movement can be seen on-screen even when you are not touching the sticks at all. Last year Nintendo began to offer Joy-Con repairs for free and refunded those who had paid in previous years, but regardless it is still a huge issue in 2020.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=a-history-of-nintendo-hardware-1977-to-now&captions=true”]

Last year US law firm Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, stating that the Joy-Cons violate “various consumer protection statutes as well as various warranty and common law claims.” It’s angled against not just the standard Joy-Cons, but the analogue sticks on the Switch Lite, too.

Netflix has announced that its Emmy Award-nominated family crime drama, Ozark, will return for a fourth and final season that will be split into two parts.

Season four of Ozark will be 14 episodes long, with each part consisting of 7 episodes. It’s a finale format previously used for big critical hits such as Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=ozark-season-3-photos&captions=true”]

The final season will once again be executive produced by showrunner and writer Chris Mundy and star Jason Bateman. Laura Linney, Julia Garner, Sofia Hublitz, Skylar Gaertner, Charlie Tahan, and Lisa Emery will all reprise their roles.

In our review of Ozark Season 3, we noted that it’s still one of TV’s best crime dramas, with Jason Bateman and Laura Linney offering consistently excellent performances. Hopefully this final season will give the Byrde family the send-off they deserve.
