Lego Game Boy Hands-On: Nintendo Didn’t Need to Go This Hard

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-09-21 02:40:48

Nintendo invited me to a “holiday showcase” to play upcoming Switch 2 titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, Hades 2, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, and Kirby Air Riders, but the only thing I can’t stop thinking about is the Lego Game Boy that was on display at the entrance. Announced at SDCC 2025, the Game Boy set is even better in person than in online renders. The brick-sized handheld, which is made of 421 brick pieces, costs $50 and comes out on Oct. 1. As

The New ‘Good Boy’ Trailer Puts the Dog in Dog Horror

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-26 06:25:26

Good Boy is a horror movie told from a dog’s point of view, and the film’s final trailer makes sure you understand that by emphasizing what looks to be an extremely charismatic canine performance. While it’s a bit of a gimmick, it makes sense: dogs have vastly superior senses of hearing and smell compared to humans. It’s not that much of a stretch to imagine they could detect lurking ghosts if they suddenly moved into a haunted house! World, meet Indy—owned by Good Boy‘s director Ben Leonberg a

Eric Kripke Assures ‘The Boys’ is Still Getting a Mexico Spinoff

Prime Video’s been feeding superhero audiences with The Boys and its Gen V spinoff, but the franchise has other shows in the works. Up on the docket is one set in Mexico that’s gone quiet since the initial reveal back in 2023. But according to Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, that series remains alive and kicking. In a recent Collider talk, he promised the show is in active development and is “very cool. […] I think the script is good, and the world itself meets the standard of all our spinoffs.” H

Nintendo's Back in VR With a New Virtual Boy, Coming Next Year for Switch

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-03 05:36:00

I keep wondering when Nintendo will get back into VR -- I asked Shigeru Miyamoto about it earlier this year, in fact. Well, Nintendo's going back to VR, sort of: the Virtual Boy is back, baby. Retro games and a Virtual Boy accessory for the Switch and Switch 2 are coming Feb. 17 next year. The Virtual Boy was one of several things the company announced for Mario's 40th anniversary in a Direct livestream Friday, including new remasters of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2.

Over three decades later, Nintendo remembers the Virtual Boy exists

Even as Nintendo has endlessly mined its classic consoles for nostalgic re-releases in recent decades, the company has seemed to completely ignore the existence of the Virtual Boy—its abortive 1990s dip into the world of early virtual reality. That's finally set to change next February with Nintendo's first-ever official re-release of Virtual Boy games—at least for players who invest $100 in a required Virtual Boy-shaped Switch dock (or a cheaper cardboard holder) to make them work.

The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-03 10:51:25

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate. However, instead of sporting its own screen, you’ll need to slot in your Switch 2 to create the classic black and red “3D” visuals. At first glance, the new Virtual Boy appears like a pitch-perfect remodel of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi’s odd kickstand-based console. The main difference is that there’s no scree

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and create hydrogen sulfide as a product.
