The 8 Best Reggie Fils-Aime Moments Of All Time

This week, Nintendo of America’s president and Chief Operating Officer Reggie Fils-Aimé announced his retirement after fifteen years at the company, elevating Doug Bowser (yes, the jokes write themselves) as his successor. Investors and stockholders will remember Reggie as a man who oversaw the launch of several successful Nintendo products (and also the Wii U). The video game industry at large will remember him as a dominant voice with a powerful stage presence. But ultimately, the internet will remember him for so much more. From kicking some ass to killing his co-workers with lasers, here are the 8 best Reggie Fils-Aimé moments of all time.

Marvel’s Kevin Feige Confirms Black Widow Movie Won’t be R-Rated

Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige has confirmed in an interview with Comicbook.com that the standalone Black Widow movie will have a PG-13 rating, despite previous rumors that it might be R-rated.

Feige was asked if the rumor of Black Widow being R-rated could be officially quashed, in which he responded, “Yes. Correct.”

“It never was going to be

,” Feige said. “Somebody writes, ‘I hear it’s R-rated!’ And then everybody writes it up.”

Details of the untitled Black Widow film have remained under wraps, with Scarlett Johansson confirmed to reprise her role as the Russian spy turned SHIELD agent. Any involvement from other Avengers characters are currently unknown, but it has been reported that Cait Shortland will be directing the film, with a script from Jac Schaeffer.

Apex Legends Battle Pass: Here’s What We Want

Apex Legends has stormed onto the battle royale scene in its first month, garnering a huge community of 25 million players, according to developer Respawn Entertainment. That’s an impressive number, but for a live service game, it’s not how many people you can get to play at launch–it’s how many people you can keep playing long-term. That’s where Apex’s upcoming battle pass comes in.

Like competitors such as Fortnite, Apex Legends includes a whole lot of cosmetic items for players to unlock. In Apex, you can largely get them from loot boxes you earn or buy with real money. But there’s another way to get those items, without having to buy lots of loot boxes and gamble. The battle pass in Fortnite, which players buy with Fortnite’s premium currency, gives players a bunch of cosmetic items, plus allows them to level up at an accelerated rate to earn more items. Playing with a paid battle pass also lets you earn more of Fortnite’s currency, and if you play enough, you could even afford to buy the next season’s battle pass without spending real money.

Apex Legends also has a battle pass system coming in its first season, which starts in March. We don’t know any details about how it’ll work, what it’ll cost, or what it’ll include just yet, although Respawn has said it intends for the battle pass to be an even better value than what’s offered with Fortnite.

We might not know what Apex Legends’ first battle pass will entail, but we do have a few things we’re hoping to see when it comes online. Here’s our wishlist for Apex’s battle pass for the first season.

Game Freak’s Metroidvania-Inspired Game, Giga Wrecker, Looks To Find New Life On Consoles

Game Freak is best known for its work on Nintendo’s Pokemon franchise, but the studio has made several other games as well, such as the Metroidvania-inspired Giga Wrecker. An expanded version of the game, titled Giga Wrecker Alt, is scheduled to release later this year, and it’s also launching on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch.

Giga Wrecker is a 2D action adventure platformer that first released on PC in 2017. You control Reika Rekkeiji, a teenage girl who struggles to survive on a future Earth, one that’s been nearly destroyed by powerful robots. Reika becomes humanity’s only hope after she’s grafted with cybernetic parts that allow her to reshape debris into different forms, including weapons and tools. As Reika, you must journey across a devastated world in search of the robots’ leaders–that take the form of various bosses–in order to defeat them and grow stronger. As Reika learns new attacks, she’ll acquire additional means of navigating the world as well, which allows her to traverse to previously unreachable areas.

The expanded version of the game, Giga Wrecker Alt, adds new puzzle stages for you to complete in the game’s campaign. Alt also implements features that allow you to change the type of experience you can have. For example, for players who want a harder combat experience, you can turn on Giga Wrecker Alt’s new Ironman mode. “Simply put, the enemies are much stronger and…players will be able to enjoy the challenge of a really tough fight against the bosses,” Game Freak lead game designer Hiroto Ito and director Masayuki Onoue said in a joint statement to GameSpot. “That being said, in terms of the puzzles, we’ve ensured that the balance of thinking about the solution and solving them and playing the game is maintained.”

If you want to remove the challenge of the game’s puzzles entirely and focus on just combat, Alt offers a new companion character that will help you get through the brain twisters and back to the action. “This companion character will aid you by providing hints on some of the puzzles stages but it’s optional so you could simply play the game with no hints whatsoever,” Ito and Onoue said. “In terms of the story, this character is an escapee from the robot army that Reika is fighting against. In fact, there’s a deep connection between this character and with Reika, but you’ll have to play the game to find out more.”

Conversely, for those who want more puzzles, Giga Wrecker Alt features new content in that regard as well. “In the Steam version we had about 100 stages and quite a lot of players tended to clear them in about 10 hours,” Ito and Onoue said. “We’ve added 20 puzzle stages which would make it about one to two hours on top of that so I think the total play time would be something in the region of 11-12 hours. In these extra stages, there are hidden sub-events that allow the player to discover the story in more depth. If all the sub-events are seen, the story towards the end changes, allowing the player to see a different ending.”

Giga Wrecker was first conceived as a part of Game Freak’s Gear Project, an in-house initiative that allows individual developers to pitch their game ideas to executives. When accepted, these games are typically worked on in-between Pokemon releases. In Giga Wrecker’s case, Ito and Onoue pointed to “the mechanics of using the physics engine to destroy things and incorporating that with playing with the various topography” as the deciding factor for following through on its pitch. After the pitch was accepted, the game took about a year to complete, releasing between Pokemon Sun/Moon and Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon.

According to Giga Wrecker Alt’s publisher Rising Star Games, the game will release digitally on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch all on the same day, with further details announced “in the coming weeks.” Giga Wrecker Alt will also release physically on Switch and PS4 via a partnership with Limited Run Games. Game Freak has no sequels for Giga Wrecker planned “at the moment” but the studio will monitor the reactions to Alt and “consider that possibility for the future.”
