As a potential consolation prize for Assassin’s Creed Shadows not making its way to the Switch, Nintendo has announced four SNES strategy games coming to the Switch Online service, with two of the games — Nobunaga’s Ambition and Nobunaga’s Ambition: Lord of Darkness — featuring the same conflict that plays out in Shadows.

Look, not every company has the budget to hire a marketing team to help name their product, particularly companies relying on crowdfunding.

Velvet Caviar has issued a recall for several different versions of its MagSafe Battery Pack. About 89,500 of the portable chargers have been sold, according to the CPSC, featuring lithium-ion batteries that can “overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.”

Japan has shown the world that wonderful things can be distributed through a vending machine -- from tiny Nikon camera replicas, to Nintendo controller keychains.

Only 200 prototypes of the Nintendo PlayStation were ever made, and most were destroyed when the partnership fell through. What was believed to be the last remaining prototype in existence sold at auction for $360,000 in 2020, but Julian Domanski discovered that former Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Ken Kutaragi has had one stashed away in a closet, as spotted by Time Extension. Don’t expect it to hit the auction block any time soon.
