Nintendo has seemingly leaked a Stage Builder feature for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in a new TV ad for the Switch-exclusive brawler. It’s only visible for a split second, but it’s possible to spot the Stage Builder menu icon at 0:02 in the ad below.

Brawl and Wii U had a Stage Builder, it would make sense that Ninty is planning on including it in Ultimate....

Tango Fiesta, a top-down cooperative shooter which draws heavily on the action movies from the 80s, will launch for PS4 and Xbox One in Q3 2016, Spilt Milk Studios and Merge Games have announced.

Key Points When choosing the best noise-canceling headphones, there are many factors to consider, including price, comfort, design, sound quality, durability, and features.

Earlier in the year, we did a list of the best noise-canceling earbuds of 2022. Earbuds have come a long way in the noise-canceling department, but they are still no match for their over-the-ear cousins....

The Game Awards will once again caress our glazed-over eyeballs tomorrow evening. There will be more than 10 new games revealed with trailers in tow. No doubt we’ll bear witness to some awesome content, undeserving accolades, and a few awards handed off-screen while we watch an ad for cheesy snacks or some shit. It’ll be entertaining, either way. Will it be as entertaining as Josef “Fuck the Oscars” Fares? Maybe. We’ll have to watch to find out....

While a TV series for Netflix is in pre-production with Wonder Woman writer Allan Heinberg showrunning and David Goyer and Gaiman exec producing, an audio book has arrived from Audible boasting super-high production values and a starry cast. More like a radio play than a straight up reading of the text, this adaptation works surprisingly well and stays very faithful to the books, adding in physical descriptions of characters where necessary....
