Publisher Wired Productions and developer KeokeN Interactive have announced that the sci-fi thriller Deliver Us the Moon will be making one giant leap onto Switch later this year.

This port was unfortunately cancelled shortly after the game’s release on Xbox One and PS4 with the publisher citing the “industry-wide stresses that have been felt by the Covid-19 pandemic” as one of the key reasons.

Sonic Adventure 2 marked Shadow’s debut.

The Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie is going to take a lot from Sonic Adventure 2, according to the movie’s producer.

Speaking to GamesRadar+ recently, Sonic 3 movie producer Toby Ascher explained how the third big screen outing for the blue blur would not only be a “giant, fun, incredible movie” but also one that “takes a lot” from the second Adventure title, which originally debuted on the Dreamcast in 2001.

Not quite a cowablunder.

Can you ever truly have too much of a good thing? If you’re a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fan, this question must have sprung to mind at least once in recent years. Because in truth, the good things have been coming thick and fast.

In short, the phrase “I love being a Turtle” had never rung truer.
