And we might know another cast member…

If you can turn your attention away from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie for one moment, it seems we might have the very first leak from The Legend of Zelda Movie set.

While very little has been revealed about the film so far, it was confirmed earlier this month that the live-action is officially “in production” in New Zealand. Now, in an update this week, footage has supposedly emerged of the production, including some clips featuring cast members and the film crew.

We jammin’?

The PDP Riffmaster was first released back in April 2024, and it’s a wireless guitar controller that’s reviewed well, even if it is a little on the pricey side at the £130/$150 mark.

We’ve already looked at the CRKD x Gibson Guitar Controller, which costs slightly less and does a very nice job of handling… well, there aren’t actually that many games to play with guitar controllers on Switch consoles just now, so you’re gonna have to settle for Fortnite Festival with this new one, basically.

Reports suggest Version 21.0.0 borked compatibility.

You might have already seen some reports claiming third-party docks are no longer compatible with the Switch 2. These stories started popping up after Nintendo rolled out a major system update earlier this week – bumping its new hybrid device up to Version 21.0.0.

We’ve investigated this with a quick test of one of the devices we have on hand (specifically, the S3 MAX TV Dock Station by Antank), and it appears to be functioning as normal.
