Marvel fans had much to celebrate today, with the debut of the first trailer for the upcoming Captain Marvel and a brand-new poster. With so much happening in the trailer, it’s understandable if you didn’t spend long looking at the poster. But eagle-eyed fans might have spotted something to the left of the image hidden in the shadows. Is that a cat?

The feline infiltrator was spotted by io9’s Jill Pantozzi, who adjusted the brightness of the poster image to reveal the back-end of what seems to be a cat, disappearing off the side of the image. You can check out the original tweet here, and look at a highlighted version below.

Of course, there would need to be a reason for a cat to appear on the poster, and there’s every suggestion that this is in fact Chewie, Captain Marvel’s faithful pet. Chewie was first introduced in Marvel comic books in 2006 when Carol Danvers left Earth to go exploring the galaxy, and she gave Chewie that name because she reminded her of Chewbacca from Star Wars.

During a subsequent encounter with the Guardians of the Galaxy, it was revealed that Chewie isn’t in fact a cat at all, but an alien species known as a Flerken. Flerkens are dangerous animals with scary inter-dimensional powers, leading Rocket Racoon to attempt to kill Chewie. Luckily she escaped, but not before laying 117 eggs which soon hatched into an ridiculously large brood. How much of Chewie’s powers we’ll see in the movie remains to be seen, but it’s a great touch to include her on the poster.

Captain Marvel hits theaters on March 6, 2019. Its cast includes Brie Larson as Carol Danvers and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, plus Jude Law, Ben Mendelsohn, DeWanda Wise, Gemma Chan, and Clark Gregg. For more check out our guide to everything we know so far about Captain Marvel.

Destiny 2‘s Forsaken expansion has brought with it a wide variety of new ways to spend your time. That’s especially true following the weekly reset on Tuesdays, as you again find yourself with an array of refreshed activities. Among those are the weekly bounties offered by Spider, the vendor in the Tangled Shore. One of these poses a larger challenge than the rest, and for Week 3, that is the Wanted: Silent Fang bounty. Here’s where to go and how to complete it.

Whereas many of Spider’s Wanted bounties are not entirely clear about where to go and what to do, there’s always one that presents itself in a different way. Rather than tracking down a Lost Sector, these present you with an Adventure on the designated planet. Silent Fang is found on the EDZ, in an Adventure appropriately titled Wanted: Silent Fang (recommended Power level: 540).

Start out by purchasing the bounty from Spider–as always, it costs five Ghost Fragments, which you can find inside Tangled Shore chests and by completing Public Events in the area. With the bounty in hand, head to the EDZ and start up the Adventure to begin. From there, this plays out like a typical Lost Sector, albeit one inside a Darkness Zone. That means dying will cause you to restart, so it’s best to come with a well-equipped Fireteam. Silent Fang is a giant Fallen Captain; simply take him out to complete the bounty. You can watch all of this above.

The unlocked chest’s rewards likely won’t be anything special, as the Adventure only promises Rare gear. But the corresponding bounty awards Powerful gear when completed, making this all well worth the trouble.

If you’re looking for other sources of Powerful gear, you can also try out this week’s Ascendant Challenge. Its specific location and objective have again changed, but you’ll still need a Tincture of Queensfoil in order to get started. There’s also a new Destiny 2 update out now that relocates Petra, and Iron Banner is officially underway with level advantages enabled–all the more reason to secure all the Powerful gear you can.

Nintendo’s first paid online service is just hours away, but you may notice a short interruption in online service while it gets rolled out. The Switch online launch will be preceded by a period of server maintenance, after which you’ll be able to jump in, sign up for the service, and play some of the classic games being offered.

The Nintendo Support page says that the 6.0 update will go up at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET, followed by a three hour maintenance period. Once the maintenance completes, around 8 PM PT / 11 PM ET, you can log on to purchase your Nintendo Switch Online membership, but you’ll need to update to version 6.0 first.

Nintendo Switch Online offers a free trial week, after which you’ll be charged if you don’t cancel. It will cost $4 for one month, $8 for a three-month period, and $20 for a 12-month period. You can also get a 12-month family plan for $35. The online service will be required to play most Switch games online, though some like Fortnite are getting a special exception. The online service also offers cloud saves, but it’s not universal and you’ll lose your saves if you let the subscription lapse.

The service will also launch with a selection of classic NES games for download. It will host 20 upon launch tonight, with more planned to come next month. Check out our wrap-up of everything we know for more details.

Xbox One’s backward compatibility list has just received two new additions, including a cult favorite from Double Fine. The 2009 action-strategy game with a dose of metal influence, Brutal Legend, is the latest to join the line-up. It’s flanked by Greg Hastings Paintball 2.

Brutal Legend was a relatively big-budget project from Double Fine, featuring the voices of Jack Black and Tim Curry along with a bigger, more ambitious campaign story than some of its other releases. The GameSpot Brutal Legend review gave kudos to its humorous writing and world-building, but noted that the side missions were a bit dull. Greg Hastings Paintball 2 is a smaller release, having gotten only a handful of mixed reviews on GameSpot sister site Metacritic.

As always, any new games are playable on your Xbox One immediately. If you own the disc version you can pop it into your console, and if you own it digitally it should be available for download at no additional charge.

Xbox One backwards compatibility was a major feature announcement when it debuted in 2015, and since then Microsoft has been steadily adding to the list. It now boasts tons of Xbox 360 games, and even some original Xbox games as well. Check out our complete list to see if your favorite games have made the cut so far.

Arrow fans are in for a very different Season 7. With Oliver (Stephen Amell) in prison, cut off from the rest of his team, the Green Arrow isn’t able to protect Star City; he also can’t protect himself.

The first batch of photos for the new season have been released, keeping a literal divide Oliver and those he cares about most. While his face can’t be seen clearly, it’s easy to tell the slammer isn’t doing Oliver any favors–he’s battered and bruised. What else did they think would happen when they tossed in the rich vigilante with all of the guys he’s captured over the years?

Another face seen in the photos, visiting Oliver, is Diggle (David Ramsey). Ramsey previously confirmed to GameSpot that he would be one of Oliver’s only allies in prison as the two have put their differences behind them and are now friends once again. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be much help to the imprisoned Green Arrow, though.

The only other character shows in the photos is Oliver’s wife, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards). She looks quite a bit different than fans last saw her, though. Felicity and William, Oliver’s son, have gone into witness protection after he was imprisoned, which seemed to come with a makeover. Now she has pink hair and a nose ring. We are here for punk rock Felicity. She’s almost as cool as goth Felicity was in Season 5.

While these images don’t show much in the way of action, the first trailer for the new season was packed with it. As Oliver faces off against some of his old foes–including Cody Rhodes returning as Derek Sampson–the fights are going to be utterly vicious. Hopefully, Oliver gets out of all of those alive and reunites with his team sooner, rather than later.

Arrow returns Monday, October 15, on The CW. Before then, make sure to check out all of the spoilers and teases we know about the show so far.

The Sega Genesis Mini has been delayed to 2019. Originally announced with a 2018 release date, the little system is now scheduled to arrive next year, Sega announced in a tweet.

Gematsu translated the Japanese tweet and quotes Sega as saying it decided to push back release in part to allow the company to launch the console around the world simultaneously.

Sega added that it wants the Sega Genesis Mini to have a “level of quality that Sega fans expect,” according to Gematsu. The delay also apparently relates to the fact that Sega is looking to “rethink the design of the device,” according to the site.

The Sega Genesis Mini, or Mega Drive as it was known in Japan, was announced back in April. At the time, Sega said it was scheduled to launch in 2018 but did not share any other details.

It won’t be the first mini version of the Sega Genesis. The officially licensed Sega Genesis Flashback console from AtGames was a major disappointment.

Plug-and-play consoles have proven to be incredibly popular, at least in the United States. Sales of such consoles grew by a factor of 21x in August 2018 compared to last year; year to date, dollar sales of plug-and-play consoles jumped 400 percent. The NES Classic leads the way in terms of total units sold in 2018, while the SNES Classic, which is more expensive, has driven the most dollar sales.

Disney’s new streaming service will include brand-new TV shows based on “beloved superheroes” who haven’t received their own movies. That’s according to a report from Variety, whose sources said there will be shows for Loki and Scarlet Witch, both of whom have appeared in numerous Marvel films, but haven’t had their own movies as of yet.

Intriguingly, Variety reports that Disney is looking for the movie actors to play the same roles in the TV shows, instead of going for a different cast. That means Tom Hiddleston is lined up to play Loki and Elizabeth Olsen tapped to play Scarlet Witch.

Each show will be 6-8 episodes, according to the report. They will be produced by Marvel Studios, and studio boss Kevin Feige is reportedly going to have a “hands-on” role in them.

Another important note from the report is that the new shows will focus on “second-tier” MCU characters, not topline ones like Captain America and Iron Man. No story details for the new shows were referenced in the report. You can read Variety’s full story here.

Disney’s upcoming streaming service is poised to be a rival of sorts to Netflix. It is reportedly due to launch at the end of 2019; details on subscription pricing has yet be announced.

The rumoured new superhero shows join the previously confirmed Season 7 for Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the Disney streaming service. What’s more, there will be a live-action Star Wars series on the new service, which will be set seven years after Return of the Jedi.

Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest on Disney’s streaming service. In other Marvel news, the first full-length trailer for Captain Marvel has arrived–watch it here.

Double Fine’s Brutal Legend–the studio’s best-selling game ever–launched on Xbox One today through the backwards compatibility catalog. The 2009 metal-themed action game featuring Jack Black as Eddie Riggs relies heavily on its excellent soundtrack.

With the game coming to Xbox One, it was unclear if Brutal Legend’s soundtrack would have to face any cuts due to licensing issues. Thankfully, it doesn’t. Double Fine’s Greg Rice tells GameSpot that the Xbox One version has “all the original music.”

The game features dozens of metal songs, including tunes from the likes of Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead, and Black’s own Tenacious D, as well as 3 Inches of Blood, Skid Row, and Mastodon. It is an impressive soundtrack featuring a wide range of metal songs. The music is so deeply woven into the overall Brutal Legend experience, so it’s great to know that all of the original songs are in the Xbox One version.

Brutal Legend’s connection to metal goes deeper than songs alone. Ozzy Osbourne, Rob and Lita Halford, and Lemmy all voice characters in the game.

Brutal Legend, which was published by EA, was expected to be followed up with a sequel. However, Brutal Legend 2 was canceled back in 2010. Since then, Double Fine boss Tim Schafer has time and again talked about wanting to return to the franchise someday, possibly even with Black.
