It’s Now Easy But Expensive to Play N64 on Modern TVs

The EON Super 64 is a plug-and-play HDMI adapter for the Nintendo 64, allowing you to play this classic console on a modern HD television, but it’s going to cost you.

For $149.99, this device connects to the back of the N64, allowing you to get HDMI output. It’s available for preorder now and is estimated to ship on July 22, 2019. The N64 looked okay on an old CRT television but looks blurry and generally bad when upscaled for modern HDTVs. The EON Super 64 claims to fix this problem. It allegedly delivers a 480p image, featuring lagless input, custom design, and a “Slick Mode” that cleans up hard pixelated edges for a more polished look.

The Past, Future, and Trash Talk of Gears of War Esports

Gears of War’s esports scene has evolved quite a bit over the franchise’s history. It started as a mainly community-led endeavor with occasional tournaments by companies like Major League Gaming. Since then, Gears developer The Coalition has made strides to give the scene a professional edge beginning with more in-game competitive features in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and The Coalition’s development of the Gears Pro Circuit. However, with the scene’s grown, the team behind Gears esports has been careful to make sure there’s still respect and a celebration of the scene’s grassroots origins.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Almost Introduced Falcon as Captain America

SPOILERS AHEAD for Avengers: Endgame.

Spider-Man: Far From Home almost had a cameo by Sam Wilson as Captain America following Steve Rogers handing over his iconic shield to the MCU hero previously known as Falcon.

Speaking to Comicbook.com, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and creative executive Eric Carroll discussed how this cameo almost came to pass, but ended up not making it so the focus on this newest film would be on Spider-Man having to “step up and do it himself.”

“We briefly talked about bringing in Falcon as Captain America at the end, like maybe once Peter’s arced, and he’s sort of like leading the team, like maybe he calls in a favor,” Carroll explained. “But we also thought it was really important to the arc of this movie that there not be other Avengers available to Nick Fury or Peter, so he’d have to step up and do it himself.”

What Harry Potter: Wizards Unite Could Learn From Pokemon Go

Although Harry Potter: Wizards Unite is being developed by Pokemon Go developer Niantic, there are still multiple lessons it can stand to learn from Niantic’s flagship catch ’em all game. Here they are, from three die-hard Pokemon Go players on the IGN staff.

Make Our Collection Useful

While Harry Potter: Wizards Unite shares a lot of the same mechanics as Pokemon Go in terms of its basic mechanics (catching Pokemon on the world map vs. catching Foundables, for example), the thing that differentiates Pokemon Go is that the Pokemon you’re collecting can be used for things beyond simply adding to your hoard.

Amazing Spider-Man Sets the Stage for Greatness

While much of the focus of Nick Spencer’s first year on Amazing Spider-Man has involved the buildup to an ultimate culmination of “Hunted,” the series has also been teasing a brand new, very mysterious addition to Spidey’s rogues gallery. As Spencer gears up for Year 2, that villain is finally stepping out of the shadows and taking a more active role in tormenting Peter Parker. That, plus a heavy focus on Mysterio, is enough reason to check out issue #24.

Spencer mainly divides this standalone story on two fronts, exploring how the fallout of “Hunted” continues to affect Peter and using Mysterio as a means of setting the stage for this mystery villain’s big debut. The former is especially welcome as it helps bring the Peter/MJ relationship back to the forefront of the book. As great as it is having this romance back in action a decade after Brand New Day, it hasn’t necessarily received the attention it deserves. But now that the initial “honeymoon” phase has worn off, Peter finds himself at a crossroads. Can he allow himself to be with someone he loves and risk putting them in mortal danger, especially with the terrifying visions he’s been experiencing?

The Eternals: Salma Hayek Reportedly Cast in Marvel Movie

Oscar-nominee Salma Hayek Pinault is reportedly set to star alongside other potential cast members Angelina Jolie, Richard Madden and Kumail Nanjiani in Marvel’s The Eternals.

As reported by TheWrap, details for Hayek’s character are currently unknown but, if chosen, she would join the film that would be inspired by the comic created by Jack Kirby in 1976.
