As reported by Eurogamer, the cover art for a new Tomb Raider entry has cropped up online along with a handful of screenshots.

Limited Run Games Is Bringing NES ‘Jaws’ To Switch In “Massively Expanded” Form

You’re gonna have a bigger backlog.

Limited Run Games has announced a very exciting enhanced version of 1987’s NES “classic”, Jaws – and they’ve got their signature offering of flashy physical editions ready to devour and everything.

Netflix “Didn’t Attribute Any Value” To Warner Bros. Games In Acquisition Deal

“We haven’t built that into our deal model”.

Hm, we’re sure that we won’t be looking back on this quote with a suspicious eye down the line. Following Netflix’s $82.7 billion acquisition agreement with Warner Bros.
