A very minor software update has been released for nearly all Apple iDevices tonight. The new update, version 12.1.2, includes much requested support for eSIM cards.

It won’t take very long to download the new software update, in fact it is one of the smallest software updates I’ve seen in a while. Depending on your device, if you previously had the most up to date system software, you will likely only need to download 65MB of data. You can also update your device through iTunes.

We’ve made it no secret that No More Heroes was one of our favorite games for the Nintendo Wii, and hearing a new NMH game would be released when the Nintendo Switch was announced was a big reason we picked up the tablet console. While we have been hearing news about the game in the past few weeks, we haven’t talked very much about the game here on the site for a few reasons. Today, that ends. Here’s the newest trailer for the game featuring one of the exclusive games Travis will be able to play, Electric Thunder Tiger II!

I have to say it looks like this game will take full advantage of one of the strongest features of the Nintendo Switch, the two independent joy-con controllers function perfectly for couch cooperative play. Couch co-op for the win!

Travis Strikes Again is coming January 18th, 2019 exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.

Since the lineup was first revealed, we knew the third and final DLC mission for Spider-Man on PS4 would be released some time this month. We have been waiting a third of this month for any news, previews or release information about that DLC and until then had received nothing. Today, that changes. Here’s the teaser trailer for the PS4-exclusive Spider-Man‘s third and final DLC, Silver Lining.

We will be getting three all new suits included with this DLC mission and it looks like one of those suits is from Sony’s upcoming animated film Into the Spider-Verse. It’s interesting that they waited until today, the day Into the Spider-Verse hits theaters, to make this announcement.

Silver Lining is coming December 21st, 2018 for a price of $9.99 US. It will require the full version of Spider-Man to play. Spider-Man is out now exclusively for the PS4. You can also get the DLC bundled with the other two DLC expansions for a price of $24.99 US.

The Kingdom Hearts series has a tradition of opening up with a beautifully prerendered CGI movie accompanied by the music of Utada, and Kingdom Hearts III is no different. We may be over a month away from the release of the game, but Square Enix has just released what they promise is the opening cinematic of the game. Take a look, but just be aware this video will probably hit long time fans right in the feels.

Kingdom Hearts III is coming to PS4 and Xbox One on January 29th, 2019.

The Game Awards 2018 was an enormous celebration of the year’s game releases as well as exclusive previews of new games. If you’re like me and had to miss the event due to work, it has been archived on YouTube. The feed says it’s in 4K but I’ve been having issues getting it into that resolution.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 Announced December 7, 2018

The big Marvel announcement from The Game Awards 2018 is an unexpected surprise. A new game in the Ultimate Alliance series is coming, and this time they’re bringing not just the Avengers, the X-Men and Spider-Man…they’re bringing the Guardians of the Galaxy.

I have to admit I’m puzzled why this game would be released as a Switch exclusive, I don’t remember any of the previous games in the Ultimate Alliance series coming to a single Nintendo console.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.
