If you’re making a Terminator video game, you ideally want to be able to include Arnold Schwarzenegger in all his glory. That, however, isn’t always possible. Why? The developer of an upcoming Terminator video game has offered an explanation. Terminator 2D: No Fate , due out this September, is a retro game based on 1991 action masterpiece Terminator 2: Judgment Day . It features iconic characters from the movie, such as John and Sarah Connor, the T-1000 and the T-800. Check out gameplay and comments from the developers at Bitmap Bureau in the video below. But while Terminator 2D: No Fate does feature the T-1000 and the T-800 characters, it does not feature Arnie’s likeness. Speaking to IGN, publisher Reef Entertainment explained why, and in the process lifted the lid on how licenses like these tend to work for video games. Reef, with the Terminator 2 license to play with, has the rights to use the characters from the movie such as Sarah and John Connor, and on top of that, it ha...

Relics are the potent items that can give your Nightfarer an extra boost on every run of Elden Ring Nightreign . There is also, as it turns out, a limit on just how many you can have stored up in your hideaway. One user on the r/Nightreign subreddit posted an image from their Elden Ring Nightreign game today, with a special message appearing over their attempts to start an expedition. "Cannot launch expedition: Too many relics in possession," read the message. "Please use the relic rite menu to sell off spares." You can't play if you have too many relics by u/Scufozzover1 in Nightreign The user u/Scufozzover1 didn't specify exactly how many they had, only ball-parking an estimate of "upwards of 1000 maybe." It's easy to theorize this might be related to a general 999 item limit, but unless you'd like to grind out that many relics, it's unclear where the limit actually is. There are plenty of reasons to clear out your relic s...

Amazon is having a pretty big sale on Magic: The Gathering sealed sets right now , and you can pick up a wide variety of Aetherdrift packs, collector bundles, and Commander decks at great new low prices, and these contain some awesome rare and expensive cards worth the chase. After covering the big sale, I decided to go a bit further with my coverage and collect 10 of the most valuable cards available in play boosters and collector boosters, so you can track the best and most expensive chase cards from the set while ripping open your new boosters. TL;DR: 10 Most Valuable Chase Cards From Aetherdrift Aetherdrift has dozens of borderless, Fracture Foil, First-Place Foil, and Showcase editions of main set cards, but these are the 10 most valuable. From a competitive standpoint, not many of these see much play, although Ketramose, the New Dawn is the face of a hot new Modern combo deck . And for you Commander players, this is a great chance to nab the elusive Radiant Lotus Fracture...

Nintendo has included an infamous recurring Easter egg in Nintendo Switch 2 launch title Mario Kart World , fans have discovered. Totaka's Song, a recurring tune that has secretly appeared in countless Nintendo games, has once again been found — and you can hear it on Mario Kart World's character selection screen. Simply scroll over to Yoshi on your character roster and leave the green dinosaur dancing for a little while. Eventually, he will start humming a familiar tune — yes, this is Yoshi singing Totaka's Song. "I was idling on the Character Select screen when I noticed Mario began humming after enough time passed," wrote reddit user charizardtelephone. "I thought, 'Huh, they could totally hide hidden tunes like that.' Wait. Hidden music? In a Nintendo game? With Yoshi? It was too good to be true." You can take a listen to Yoshi humming Totaka's Song below: Totaka’s Song in Mario Kart World by u/charizardtelephone in mariokart ...

To celebrate the release of Nintendo Switch 2 – and the 19(!) different Zelda games that are now playable on the system – the IGN Guides team has made a few upgrades to ensure you'll have a helping hand when you most need it.
