This new animation celebrating Sonic’s latest racing game is scheduled to arrive this September (the same month as the game), and this initial preview was originally featured at Anime Expo. It shows Sonic and Shadow speeding along, but we don’t get much else.
Hello there, young Padawans, are you ready to continue your training in the art of Box Art Brawl?
Before we become one with the Force, let’s look back to last week, where we saw a duel (of the fates) between two covers for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. It was the European and Japanese cover that took the high ground in the end, snatching up 61% of the vote compared to North America’s 39%. *Insert falling LEGO Yoda sound effect here*
Back when Pokémon was taking off in the late ’90s, trainers around the globe were treated to the very first anime movie. It stars Ash, Pikachu and their friends, as well as a Pokémon battle “like never before” featuring Mew and Mewtwo.
If you’ve never got around to watching Pokémon: The First Movie, or just want to revisit it, the official Pokémon TV channel has now uploaded the entire film on YouTube. This will apparently be viewable for a “limited-time” and will be followed by Pokémon: The Movie 2000 and Pokémon 3: The Movie.
Even now that we’ve got our hands on the Switch 2, there are still developers sharing their thoughts about the power of the system and where it fits in. In the same interview with Wccftech, the Virtuos team was asked how the new Nintendo device holds up in terms of “raw console performance” and if it’s closer to an Xbox Series S or PlayStation 4.
According to Eoin O’Grady, who is technical director at Black Shamrock (a Virtuos studio and subsidiary), it’s a bit of both, depending on what aspect of the hardware you’re looking at. The GPU in the Switch 2 apparently performs “slightly below” the Series S (but does come with some added technologies) and as for the CPU, the Switch 2 is supposedly “closer” to the PlayStation 4.
We’ve rounded up the best deals for Saturday, July 5, below, so don’t miss out on these limited-time offers.

How to Redeem Dress to Impress Codes
Follow the steps below to redeem Dress to Impress codes and claim free rewards in DTI:
Open the Dress to Impress Roblox Experience.
Click on the handbag icon on the left-hand side to open the DTI Codes menu.
Enter your code in the “Type here…” field.
Check for any spelling mistakes or errors.
Click the checkmark icon to redeem the code.
Why Isn’t My Dress to Impress Code Working?
If the code you’re trying to redeem in DTI isn’t working, it’s likely because of one of two reasons:
The Dress to Impress code is expired
There’s a spelling mistake in the code
When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it’s spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn’t a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We’d recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they’re correct as we’ve tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.
If your DTI code still isn’t working after checking for typos, it’s more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.
How to Get More DTI Codes
To get more Dress to Impress codes, the best way is to join the official DTI Discord server. While we check for new codes daily, the quickest way to know about new Dress to Impress codes is to follow the Roblox experience’s official Discord server where updates are posted in real time.

One company that backed the Switch throughout its life was the port specialist Virtuos – working on games like Dark Souls and The Outer Worlds for the hybrid platform. It might just be the beginning of the Switch 2’s life, but the same team is already sounding confident about the new hardware’s future.
Speaking to Wccftech recently, Eoin O’Grady – the technical director of Virtuos’ subsidiary Black Shamrock (Starlink: Battle for Atlas) – believes the Switch 2 will “surpass” the success of the original system.
Microsoft axed the studio behind the new project this week.
Although the Perfect Dark series has been under Microsoft’s control for more than two decades now, the news this week about the latest entry by The Initiative being axed has led to a lot of reactions within the Nintendo community.
With this in mind, Joanna’s voice actor Alix Wilton Regan (who was cast in the now-cancelled project) is rallying fans of the video game agent and calling on them to “speak up” on social media and elsewhere online if they want to see this series “survive”. Yes, it’s that grim!
It’s been another tough week for the video game industry and the fallout from Microsoft’s layoffs led to funding cuts at John and Brenda Romero’s studio, Romero Games.
Now, following some claims the studio had completely shut its doors, Irish publication The Journal has got apparently got an official confirmation about this in a statement from Brenda Romero (thanks, Push Square).
We’ve now been glued to our Switch 2 for a whole month, and it’s got us wondering how much mileage our community has gotten out of the new game Mario Kart World.
While it might not be the launch title everyone was hoping for, it’s still packed with plenty of things to do. This includes a new Knockout Tour mode, a whole world to free roam, and plenty of classic options like Grand Prix, local and online multiplayer, Time Trials, and Battle Mode.
