Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the next entry in the beloved series and we’ve learned plenty since it was revealed for the Nintendo Switch back in 2018. In an interview with IGN at E3, Nintendo’s Aya Kyogoku and Hisashi Nogami told IGN more details about the upcoming game along with some new information about features shown during the New Horizons Nintendo Treehouse live presentation.
Shaft Review
It’s been almost 40 years since moviegoers were introduced to the action hero John Shaft, played by Richard Roundtree in three trailblazing movies and one short-lived TV series. Heroic, revolutionary and confidently, powerfully sexual, Roundtree’s version of the character became a cultural icon, thanks in no small part to an unforgettable, Oscar-winning ode to his awesomeness, composed and performed by Isaac Hayes.
In the decades that followed there have been two attempts to revitalize the motion picture franchise. The late, great John Singleton cast Samuel L. Jackson as Shaft’s nephew in the exciting 2000 reboot, which skillfully balanced the action and social commentary inherent to the character, and yet somehow it never yielded a proper sequel.
Hollow Knight’s Sequel Feels Wildly Different and Incredibly Familiar
I was extremely excited to play Hollow Knight: Silksong in the Nintendo Booth at E3 2019, and what I found there was a sequel to one of my favorite games that simultaneously felt incredibly familiar and entirely new. It’s unmistakably Hollow Knight, but with the speed cranked up to 11 thanks to the nimble nature of its new protagonist, Hornet.
Hornet’s basic movement doesn’t seem any faster, but her attacks and abilities certainly are. Your mid-air downslash has been replaced with a diagonal dive thrust (completely uprooting strategies I had developed in the first game) and she can grab edges to hop up onto high platforms right off the bat. It felt like I had to relearn a game I was already intimately familiar with – that was jarring, but once I did, I think I started to like its combat and movement even more than the original.
Dark Phoenix Villain Aliens Were Originally Skrulls
SPOILERS ahead for Dark Phoenix and Captain Marvel!
The greenish, shape-shifting alien villains of Dark Phoenix are referred to in the new (and final) X-Men movie as the D’Bari, but they’re not really like their Marvel Comics counterparts at all. That’s because, according to Dark Phoenix actor Tye Sheridan, they were originally Skrulls. Yes, the same shape-shifters who played such a significant role in the recent Captain Marvel movie.

There’s a new Zelda coming out this year. The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening is heading exclusively to Nintendo Switch on September 20. This is a complete remake of the Game Boy game that released back in 1993. The art style is a cute mix of cartoonish and realistic, resulting in a game that almost looks like a moving miniature toy set. As you play, you’ll earn chambers you can use to craft your very own dungeons.
If you’re all-in on this reinvention of the classic game, you can preorder now. Read on to see where it’s available.
Every Gadget in the Men in Black Movies
Men in Black: International hits theaters this week! We already showed you every Men in Black alien from the first three movies, but if there’s one thing the MiB series is known for as much as its diverse array of alien creatures, it’s its “borrowed” alien tech. From Neuralyzers (at least four different kinds!) to Series 4 De-Atomizers, today we present every single gadget used by the MiBs in the first three films.
For anyone who hasn’t seen all the Men in Black movies (the last of which came out seven years ago), be warned: The following shiny futuristic doodads contain major spoilers for the first three films…

Borderlands 3 Moze The Gunner Character Skill Tree Breakdown: Demolition Woman, Shield Of Retribution, Bottomless Mags
Jump In Your Mech
During E3 2019, we got our hands on the third of Borderlands 3‘s four new Vault Hunters: Moze the Gunner. Like Zane and Amara, Moze possesses three skill trees, each of which can be intertwined with one another to create your ideal character. And like her fellow Borderlands 3 Vault Hunters, Moze possesses a special trait that’s unique only to her–she can mix and match her skill trees to fundamentally change her active skill. You can see all of Moze’s available skills below.
Moze’s action skill is tied to Iron Bear, a tank-like mech she summons into battle. Iron Bear can equip two primary weapons and several secondary pieces of tech, allowing you to change the type of weapon you summon. The mech uses fuel whenever it moves or fires a gun, and you’re ejected from it once your fuel source is gone. Despite this limitation, Iron Bear is still ridiculously powerful.
Each of Moze’s skill trees attaches different weapons to Iron Bear. You can specialize in just one tree and customize Iron Bear to fit into one of the three established playstyles. However, you can also pick and choose weapons and perks from each tree to create an Iron Bear that’s wholly unique for you.
Moze’s first skill tree is called Demolition Woman. This tree is all about doing splash damage, providing the option of arming one of Iron Bear’s arms with a missile launcher and the other with a grenade launcher. Almost every perk in Demolition Woman increases the size and damage output of explosions, both done by Moze and Iron Bear. The remaining perks in the tree increase the longevity that Moze can stay alive–prolonging the time she has in Fight For Your Life and increasing the fuel capacity for Iron Bear. There’s also a perk that allows Iron Bear to act on its own as a sentry turret.
Shield of Retribution is Moze’s risk vs. reward skill tree. In this tree, you can find a high-powered railgun for Iron Bear and the Iron Fist attachment, which allows Iron Bear to punch forward and smash enemies into pulp. There’s also a secondary weapon attachment in this tree, a projected forcefield shield that protects Iron Bear. A lot of the perks in this tree increase Moze’s attack damage if either she or Iron Bear is close to death. To counter this, there are some perks in place for increasing the two’s overall shield strength and recharge rate so they can still survive when their health is low.
Moze’s final skill tree, Bottomless Mags, is all about doing as much damage as quickly as possible. In this skill tree, the two primary weapons for Iron Bear are a chaingun and flamethrower. If a chaingun isn’t enough bullets for you, one of the perks in this tree attaches another machine gun to Iron Bear’s back. The rest of the perks increase the damage that Moze can do on her own, allowing her to shoot while sprinting and temporarily gain infinite ammo while exiting Iron Bear.
