    Oh (virtual) boy.

    If you’re one of the folks who picked up a Virtual Boy headset for the Switch, Nintendo has a solid update coming your way: on August 4th two unreleased games are launching for subscribers, along with the option to adjust colors. Meanwhile, Super Mario Sunshine is being added to the Gamecube classics collection on August 13th.

    Those block rockin’ beats.

    The musical puzzler Lumines is making a return to smartphones with a new version billed as a remaster. It follows the excellent Lumines Arise from last year, and is available now on both Android and iOS; it’s a free download but costs $7.99 to unlock the full version.

    Something is lurking on Netflix.

    The streamer just put out the first trailer for Below, a limited series about a sea monster in a small fishing village, which also includes Josh Hartnett doing a serviceable Newfoundland accent. It starts streaming on October 8th.

    Well this is awkward.

    The new remake of Halo: Combat Evolved is out today, and it’s an excellent reimagining of an FPS classic. But it also comes at a very weird time for the Xbox brand and Microsoft’s gaming ambitions. You can check out my full review below.

    Football is life?

    While season 3 sure seemed like a finale, Ted Lasso is nonetheless back on Apple TV next week. The upcoming season sees Ted taking charge of a new women’s football team, and it’s coming just in time for those of us suffering through post-World Cup withdrawal.

    A Myst you missed.

    It’s rare for game studios to talk about unreleased projects, which is why it’s so cool that Cyan has put out this trailer for a cancelled Myst title dubbed “Anglerfish.” It’s a glimpse into what could have been — though the good news is that the studio says another Myst spinoff, codenamed “Mudfish,” is currently in development.
