The dark main hallway of Kojima Productions feels like a cinema corridor. Its black walls are adorned with giant film posters for Death Stranding, with side routes leading to meeting rooms and facilities rather than screens. Along another section of wall are a series of signed plaques and polaroids from various stars of film, games, music, and beyond who have each visited the studio. It's as if the very walls themselves are taking us through Hideo Kojima's mind - or are simply an extension of hi...

Back to basics. When the Switch 2 launches, you can expect to be navigating the system in a similar way to the original unit. For example, there's a familiar-looking HOME menu, the eShop has received a slight makeover but you'll still access it in the same way, and you'll also launch games from the main menu like the previous generation. Along with this, you can also expect to pair controllers in the same way - where you click on the controller menu and then sync your gamepad of choice with the ...

The main issue outlined in the USPTO decision is that "Robotaxi" is "merely descriptive," as i...
