Any Sonic the Hedgehog film that included Shadow and didn’t have Crush 40’s “Live and Learn” would have been a monumental misfire. While that’s not the key to the film’s massive success this weekend (it managed to topple Mufasa: The Lion King with ease), even director Jeff Fowler understands how…

In an incredibly bizarre turn of events, the long-dead Gameshark company may have accidentally leaked the release window for Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2 console.

While Funko Pops may have lost some of their allure over the last 13 years, the occasional set can still recapture the magic of those original vinyl figures.

Raid Battles made the jump from Pokémon’s Generation VIII (Sword and Shield) to Generation IX (Scarlet and Violet).
