In a wild twist of events, we’re getting a new Zelda game this year after all. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom is the latest adventure where players control the titular princess as sets out to rescue Link. It hits Switch on September 16.
It’s been in development since before the dawn of time, and now, as foretold in the Ancient Scrolls, our faith can turn to fact. Metroid Prime 4, first announced in 2017, then re-announced in 2019, is confirmed to be a game that we will one day be able to buy. The game will launch in 2025, and has a subtitle: Metroid…
During the latest Nitendo Direct, we finally got the thing that we’ve been clamoring for years for: a Legend of Zelda game in which you can play as Zelda. Reader, I cannot believe it.

During today’s Nintendo Direct, Square Enix showed off footage of the upcoming Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake, and it looks absolutely stunning in motion. But the company also announced that it will be remaking the first two games in the same style, and they’ll be coming a little bit later.

Kieran Culkin follows up his run on the popular HBO series Succession with a new dramedy from Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg writes and directs A Real Pain, which has been collecting a bevy of accolades. In the Sundance review from our own Chris Bumbray, he glows about the film, saying, “A Real Pain is Jesse Eisenberg’s second film as a director and marks a substantial leap in quality since his pleasant – but minor – first effort, When You Finish Saving the World. With a tight running time, evocative location shooting, and two terrific performances at its heart, it’s no wonder this scored one of Sundance’s biggest deals, with Searchlight shelling out a cool $10 million for it.”
Searchlight Pictures has now released the teaser trailer for the odd couple film. The plot synopsis reads,
“Mismatched cousins David (Jesse Eisenberg) and Benji (Kieran Culkin) reunite for a tour through Poland to honor their beloved grandmother. The adventure takes a turn when the odd-couple’s old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.”
The cast of the movie includes Jesse Eisenberg, Kieran Culkin, Will Sharpe, Jennifer Grey, Kurt Egyiawan, Liza Sadovy and Daniel Oreskes.
In addition to being one of the co-leads, Eisenberg also writes and directs A Real Pain. The film is produced by Dave McCary, Ali Herting, Emma Stone, Jennifer Semler and Ewa Puszczyńska. The movie also comes from Searchlight Pictures, which is formerly 20th Century Fox’s indie label, Fox Searchlight Pictures. However, under the Disney banner, Searchlight Pictures have predominantly been released as streaming originals on their Hulu platform.
A Real Pain will have the opportunity to screen in theaters, and you can catch it when it releases later this year on October 18.

Director George Miller decided to continue the Mad Max franchise with the Mad Max: Fury Road prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga… and while the movie got good reviews (like the 9/10 review from JoBlo’s own Chris Bumbray), the box office numbers fell short of the $168 million budget, so it’s clear that the Furiosa story was not something a lot of movie-goers were exceptionally eager to see. At least, they weren’t eager to see it on the big screen. We’ve learned that Furiosa will be receiving a VOD next Tuesday, June 25th, and it’s even available for pre-order on Amazon. Maybe more Mad Max fans will check this one out now that they’ll be able to watch it in the comfort of their own homes.
Directed by Miller from a screenplay he wrote with Nico Lathouris, Furiosa has the following synopsis: As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by the Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home. The story takes place over a span of fifteen years.
Title character Furiosa is played by Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch), taking over from Fury Road‘s Charlize Theron. Lachy Hulme (Offspring) pulls double duty, playing both Fury Road villain Immortan Joe (taking over from the late Hugh Keays-Byrne) and a character called Rizzdale Pell, who is “one of the gang members affiliated with the warlord Dementus.” Dementus is “a pretty horrible individual, and he’s played by Chris Hemsworth (Thor). Also in the cast are Tom Burke (C.B. Strike) and Quaden Bayles (Three Thousand Years of Longing), with Alyla Browne (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart) as a younger Furiosa. Nathan Jones and Angus Sampson reprise their Fury Road roles of Rictus Erectus and The Organic Mechanic.
