In a new teaser trailer for Toy Story 5, Buzz, Woody and the rest of the gang face what may be their ultimate enemy in the war for a child's play time: electronics. With INXS's Never Tear Us Apart playing in the background, we see the delivery of a parcel to Bonnie Anderson, Andy's younger sister, who inherited his toys back in Toy Story 3. Our heroes including Rex, Mr. & Mrs. Potato Head, Woody, Buzz and Jessie, look on in horror as she opens the package to reveal a frog-themed tablet named Lil...

This is the first official confirmation we've got.

In Japan, at least. Folks will no doubt be aware of Kazutoshi Iida from the cult-classic Doshin The Giant for 64DD and GameCube, but now two of the creator's earlier titles are heading to the Switch. Tail of the Sun (1996) and Aquanaut's Holiday (1995) both launched for the PS1 with western publication from Sony itself.

It's PC compatible but doesn't look hugely compelling.

With no official notice from the developer, Virtua Fighter 5 R.E.V.O. World Stage recently added in Easy Anti-Cheat.

A bit nicer than a 200 Yen vendo coffee.

Gah! I've lost them again. My precious brows and burns, they've gone walkabouts! Luckily, The Outer Worlds 2 latest patch aims to take care of instances of misbehaving hair. That's far from the only fix in what's a very beefy list, with companion buffs, crash corrections, and instances of weird NPC antics also having been tended to.

Two random cars are your salvation.

Commit regicide, scrap the Queen for parts, and plunder the Harvester.

After receiving a concerned email from a World of Warcraft Classic player, game director Ion Hazzikostas offers much-needed reassurance.

A mouse cannot live on adorable visual aesthetics alone, but Winter Burrow is definitely handsome enough to get me through to lunchtime. In this just-released survival game from Danish developers Pine Creek Games, you play a rodent who has returned from the Rodent Big City to fix up their old treestump home.

Plus an increase for new-hires. Sega has announced that it is raising the salary for its full-time staff along with increasing the starting salary for new-hires over in Japan (thanks, Automaton).

Apple's website is causing some confusion among Mac owners, and for good reason – its device compatibility listing for Apple Intelligence appears to have dropped support for M1 Macs. The U.S. version of its Apple Intelligence webpage has been updated at the bottom to list "M2 or later" Mac models as eligible for the AI features, replacing the long-standing "M1 and later" requirement. However, regional versions – including the UK and Canada sites – continue to reference M1 Macs as compatible with...

Firm announces region-locked PS5. If you've been keeping an eye on our weekly Japanese Charts, then you'll know that the Switch and Switch 2 have been consistently dominating the hardware space, with Sony's PS5 struggling to get a foothold in the region (and let's not even mention Xbox). That's not to say it hasn't doesn't well, mind you, with the console surpassing a total of 7 million units across the Base model, Digital Edition, and Pro. But with the Switch 2 already well on its way to 3 mill...

If I wanted to party anywhere in the Marvel universe, I'd be reserving my beanbags and buckets of lentil chips for Dr Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum. It's a big posh wizard's mansion, full of shelves of worrisome books and glass cabinets housing all manner of mystical nonsense that would make for an easy conversation starter, and probably some mildly apocalyptic drunken high jinks. I mention this because players of Marvel Rivals appear to agree with me. According to publishers Nexon, a lot of you h...
