Nintendo added a sprint button to the Ocarina of Time remake so you wouldn’t have to spam the roll button, but people have already found a roll spam that seemingly is faster anyway. My hands hurt just watching this.

Following the Apple Music logo refresh, Apple has given Apple Music Classical an updated look, too. It’s now black-and-white instead of reddish-pink and white.

If you’re into incredibly uncomfortable listens (as you’ve probably guessed based on previous posts: I am), might I suggest Piss’ you made me / skin on linen. To soothe my frayed nerves after another spin of that, I’ll probably need to pick up the new William Basinski as well.

Silver Lake, a private equity firm, and PIF, Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, were also involved in the recent $55 billion deal to take EA private. The consortium of investors looking at Unity, which include Silver Lake and PIF, have discussed a valuation of about $25 billion for the company, Reuters reports.

In a 20-minute video, Mark Brown of Game Maker’s Toolkit walks through his feelings over a Claude Code-made clone of his own Word Play game. He’s more even-keeled than I would be about Claude replicating something he made over the course of seven months in just twelve minutes.

Some of the shots in the new launch gallery look straight out of a movie, with new peeks at Jason, Lucia, and Leonida. GTA VI’s launch is just two weeks away on November 19th, and players can start preloading it next week on November 10th.

Nintendo revealed yesterday that it held blind voice auditions for the Ocarina of Time remake and ended up casting an actor for the same role they had in the original. That actor was apparently Kaori Mizuhashi, who played Navi in the original and is listed as Navi’s Japanese voice in a leaked credits sequence for the remake, Eurogamer reports.

After clamping down on AI video game clones amid the bigger influx of reverse-engineered games, the company is adjusting its approach to try and discourage straight-up copies:

As part of changes going into effect on December 5th, Fortnite Crew will give subscribers 1,000 V-Bucks per month instead of 800. If you continuously subscribe for long enough, you’ll get even more monthly V-Bucks. The price for Crew will remain $11.99 per month.

Selfie Sing in the iOS 27.3 beta lets iPhone users record a video while singing, complete with on-screen lyrics, via a new “Start Singing” switch. According to MacRumors analyst Aaron Perris, you can then adjust the vocals before sending the clip to your friends. What did they do to deserve that?

Ubisoft and “at least two other gaming companies” have made bids for Arkane, which Xbox is working to divest as part of its “reset,” Bloomberg reports. Xbox has “also weighed selling the studio to its management.”

Ahead of the game’s release on Wednesday, 404 Media reports the influx of vibe-coded AI slop add-ons pushed one developer to make their Github repositories private after finding AI ripoffs of their code.

For the Ocarina of Time remake, Nintendo developers said in a new interview that they wanted to “preserve the experience of spamming the Roll Attack to forward roll your way across Hyrule Field.” I have very fond memories of rolling around the world in the original.
