Surprising absolutely no one, the fan-favorite god of mischief is getting his very own Disney+ show.

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition released back in May, and only three months later, there’s quite the bundle for it. Online retailer BuyDig is offering an Xbox One S All-Digital bundle with six games and two months of Xbox Live Gold for $330 US, down from $369.

The games included are Minecraft, Madden NFL 20, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Sea of Thieves, Forza Horizon 3, and Gears of War 4. BuyDig will ship the bundle to the US, Canada, and UK, but you should expect hefty shipping costs to the latter two countries.

Last week, we reported on an Xbox One S and 4K TV bundle for $500. It comes with a copy of Madden NFL 20, in addition to a second game depending on which Xbox One S bundle you choose.

The Xbox One S All-Digital Edition is nearly identical to the regular Xbox One S. The only difference is the lack of a disc drive; the All-Digital Edition can’t play physical game discs or 4K Blu-rays.

While quirky developer Double Fine was folded into Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios in June 2019, the company is still publishing the action-adventure, coming-of-age romp Knights and Bikes. Foam Sword, composed of former Media Molecule developers, has revealed that its hand-painted adventure game will launch on PC and PlayStation 4 on August 27.

The developer took to Twitter to announce that Knights and Bikes has gone gold, an industry phrase meaning the game has passed various forms of certification, making it officially ready for printing and distribution. Along with the announcement, Foam Sword shared a funny GIF revealing the game’s release date.

Knights and Bikes started as a Kickstarter project in February 2016, raking in more than £100,000 GBP ($121,000 USD) within a few weeks to get development off the ground. The official release date announcement comes more than two years after Knights and Bikes’ expected April 2017 release window.

The game takes place on a British island in the 1980s, with you (and a friend) controlling two friends as they search for exciting and dangerous treasure. Knights and Bikes is billed as a Goonies-inspired, Secret of Mana-esque coming-of-age story where the friends’s bikes are upgradeable. According to Foam Sword, Knights and Bikes was developed with “co-op in mind (although you can still play it single player thanks to some clever AI and by switching between the characters with the shoulder-buttons on the controller).”

The Nintendo Switch has a bunch of new colour options coming for its Joy-Cons later this year, but one of them will only be available through Best Buy in the US. Green Joy-Cons are available for pre-order from the retailer now with a release date set for October 27.

Other Joy-Con colours launching this October include a Blue and Neon Yellow pair and a Neon Purple and Neon Orange pair (or as I like to call them the Waluigi and Wario Joy-Cons). They arrive on October 4.

One thing that’s important to note about Joy-Cons is that many reports of analog stick drift have been reported in recent weeks. Nintendo has addressed this issue and is currently offering free Joy-Con fixes and refunds to those who have already paid for repairs. I recently sent in a pair of Joy-Cons and was not charged for the service. It’s unclear if Nintendo will take steps to prevent this from happening to new Joy-Con models.

You can also pre-order the Nintendo Switch Lite now. This includes the Gray, Yellow, and Turquoise models, in addition to the Zacian and Zamazenta version. The first three colours release on September 20, while the Zacian and Zamazenta edition releases on November 8, a week before Pokemon Sword / Shield.

When it was announced in June that WWE had hired Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff as executive directors of Raw and Smackdown, respectively, it sent shockwaves through the professional wrestling industry. More than a month later, with Smackdown gearing up for its transition from cable channel USA to the Fox broadcast network, Bischoff’s role on the blue brand is certainly something many fans are keeping an eye out for. They aren’t the only ones, though.

Charlotte Flair, a Smackdown superstar, is very intrigued by what Bischoff brings to the table. However, as she explained to GameSpot and other outlets during a scrum at the TCA press tour, the proof will be in the pudding. “Talent who have had experience, who’ve been with other companies, who’ve seen the industry change, it’s a positive,” the nine-time WWE Women’s Champion said.. “But at the end of the day, the talent still has to deliver. So, to me, yes it’s exciting to have a new mind. It’s fresh, it’s new, he’s eager, he’s experienced it all. But talent still has to deliver at the end of the day.”

Whether or not he can deliver, big things are coming for Smackdown. The show’s move to Fox is part of a bigger agreement WWE has made with Fox Entertainment, which will see additional programming on Fox Sports 1. Having Smackdown fall under the Fox Sports banner within the company may also be a sign that the blue brand may more heavily lean on the sports aspect of sports entertainment, though that remains to be seen.

Smackdown will premiere on Fox on Friday, October 4, with an episode celebrating the show’s 20th anniversary. Among the names announced for the special installment of the series are Kurt Angle, Lita, Trish Stratus, Ric Flair, Sting, Booker T, and Mick Foley, along with the current roster of Smackdown superstars.
