A Mimic miracle.
If you’re anything like us, you probably spent a fair amount of time soaking up the 3D vibes of Pokémon Stadium in the early 2000s. This was the franchise’s first foray into the third dimension and, at the time, it was mind-blowing. Charizard? With depth? Is this the future? But no matter how long we played, some features remained hidden to us. That is, until today.
You see, today we stumbled across this informative YouTube Short from D0UBLESLAP, which promised to show us “secret animations” from our beloved Pokémon Stadium — and that it did.

Remember when The Super Mario Bros. Movie took the world by storm with Bowser’s heart-felt love song ‘Peaches‘? Yeah, we never really saw the appeal either, but if you have Jack Black in your movie, you’re contractually obliged to write him a song. Probably.
Surprise, surprise, the Minecraft Movie is no exception. The Warner Bros. music label, WaterTower Music, has today released a lyric video for a new song, ‘I Feel Alive‘, featuring vocals from, you guessed it, Jack Black.

Playing the waiting game.
It looks like we’ve got a small update on the status of Hollow Knight: Silksong and this time it comes from the world of Xbox.
Fans of this long-awaited title have been given some hope recently with the ID@Xbox director Guy Richards acknowledging how this title is still part of the company’s future lineup.
