We're about to break the first rule of Fight Club and tell you about it, as a new 4K steelbook edition of the cult-classic movie is now available to preorder through Amazon and Walmart. Priced at $40 and shipping starting May 12, fans of David Fincher's 1999 movie about mischief, mayhem, and soap can look forward to a feature-packed release.

Fight Club Steelbook Edition (4K Blu-ray) $40 | Releases May 12

The steelbook cover for Fight Club keeps things simple with a clean bar of soap--don't ask where the fatty ingredients came from to produce it--and the inside jacket features a screenshot from the movie's finale. This version includes a 4K restoration approved by Fincher, HDR10 support, and a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track.

The special features include plenty of archival materials to explore in this two-disc set. Highlights are several commentary tracks with Fincher, the primary cast, and crew members. It also includes a digital streaming key to watch online.

You can also check out several featurettes, including a memorable documentary on capturing the right sound of hitting someone in the ear. There are deleted scenes, art galleries, promotional materials, and much more.

Considered one of Fincher's best movies, Fight Club is based on the book of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk. The movie follows a narrator known only as "Jack" who is jaded by life, materialism, and stricken with insomnia. In his quest to get a good night's sleep, Jack meets Tyler Durden, a mysterious individual who draws him into underground fighting and anarchy. Things take an extreme turn, and the film's twist remains one of the greatest surprises in cinema.

If you don't want to wait until May, you can grab Fight Club on standard Blu-ray for $17.38 from Amazon. This standout 1080p version is equipped with a high-quality DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track, and includes all the special features listed above for the 4K release.

Dark Horse has published several Legend of Zelda books over the years, each essential reading for any fan of the franchise. Soon, the publisher is shining a light on the latest big Zelda game with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Secrets of the Zonai. There are two options: a $60 standard hardcover edition and a $120 Hero Edition packed with extras. Both versions start shipping in October, and preorders are now open through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Dark Horse Direct.

Secrets of the Zonai is a hardcover book chronicling the development of Tears of the Kingdom and the lore it introduces to the series. Inside are 350 pages of promotional illustrations, sketches, character art, concept art, and storyboards, plus insights from key development team members, including producer Eiji Aonuma, director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, and art director Satoru Takizawa. For Zelda lore fans, over 80 pages cover the new myths and legends introduced in Tears of the Kingdom.

The Hero Edition adds a slipcase cover, world map, an art print of Link and the Sages, and a collectible Zelda Tear replica housed in a secret compartment.

You can expand this collection with more Legend of Zelda hardcover books from Dark Horse.

The Legend of Zelda: Art & Artifacts is a 427-page hardcover book that features content from modern Zelda games like Breath of the Wild, and Creating a Champion is a deep dive into how that monumental Switch game was built from the ground up.

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 08:37

If you're planning to see The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in theaters, make sure you bring a phone with the Nintendo Today app installed. At participating theaters, you'll have the chance to grab some extra digital goodies, and all you need is your camera.

With the Nintendo Today! smart device app, you can enjoy exclusive content if you check in at theaters when you go to watch The Super Mario Galaxy Movie! Find out more: https://t.co/CTycRdp5RN pic.twitter.com/4baj1CeSBF

Multiple Kindle Models Are Steeply Discounted At Woot Today

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 06:43
See 16GB model at Woot See 64GB model at Woot See at Woot

If you're looking to spend Spring catching up on your reading list, Woot is offering steep discounts on a multiple Kindle models for a limited time, and you can take an extra 25% off that price by entering code 25OFF at checkout. This is a great opportunity to pick up one of two fan-fave Kindles (and one of my personal favorites), the 11th-Gen Kindle 16GB, as well as 16GB and 64GB models of the Kindle Scribe 10.2-inch. The sale runs until April 11, but the extra 25% off code is only valid today. Stock is also limited across all available models and could sell out before the sale ends, so if you want one, be sure to grab it before the deals disappear.

Note that Woot normally charges for shipping, but since it is an Amazon-owned company, Prime members can get free standard shipping on all orders. Paid Two-day and One-day shipping options are also available. Shipping is only available within the continental US (sorry, Hawai'i and Alaska).

Amazon Kindle Scribe 10.2-inch with Premium Pen Starts at $150 (was $200)

This is probably my favorite Kindle, if I'm being honest. At 10.2 inches, it's got a luxuriously large display, but it's still super lightweight, lighter than any full-size tablet. The note-taking feature is the real star of the show. With the included stylus, you can write notes in a separate notes app, or annotate your books as you read them, and the experience of using the stylus feels remarkably like writing on paper with a pencil. It's quick, responsive, and such a joy to use.

Woot's sale has the 16GB ($150 with discount code) and 64GB models available ($187.50).

See 16GB model at Woot See 64GB model at Woot Amazon Kindle 16GB (2022 Release, 11th Gen) Refurbished $45 with discount code (normally $110)

It's a crowd favorite for a reason. The 2022 Kindle is currently Amazon's most affordable e-reader, featuring adjustable front lighting, ridiculous battery life, and a nice, lightweight feel in the hand. It's a great pick if you're just looking for a basic e-reader to toss in your bag or take on the road. No bells, no whistles, just reliable performance. Note that this is a refurbished model, meaning it's been used before. Woot lists it as "Scratch & Dent" quality, meaning you may notice some minor wear on the surface (which is why it's so much cheaper than a new full-price model), but otherwise it's in full working condition.

A Ton Of Pokemon Nanoblock Figures Are On Sale At Best Buy For a Limited Time

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 06:21

For a limited time, you can save on Bandai's line of collectible Pokemon Nanoblock figures at Best Buy. The miniaturized, block versions of our favorite pocket monsters are adorable recreations of their digital counterparts. Almost all of the 'Mons on offer are discounted between $2 and $8 per figure. For example, you can grab the Bulbasaur and Squirtle Nanoblocks for $6 each (were $14). Both are 120-piece kits, so putting them together won't steal too much time away from your Pokemon Pokopia obsession. Note that some discounted figures are already sold out, including the Charmander and Pikachu Nanoblocks. That said, restocks are possible, so it's a good idea to refresh the page every now and then, especially since the sold-out figures are still discounted.

There's a Pokemon Nanoblock figure for almost everyone. Not every type is represented, and some of the more iconic Pokemon are missing from this catalog, but the ones available are still pretty good. For example, the 160-piece Lucario is available for $6 (was $14). It stands almost three inches tall and is the perfect little fighting-type desk companion. For something a little larger, the Mega Charizard Y Nanoblock set is on sale for $6 (was $14). This kit is larger than most of the other discounted Nanoblocks, with 200 pieces and an impressive wingspan.

Expedition 33 Actor Bet Someone 33 Baguettes That The Game Would Be A Huge Hit

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 04:40

One Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 performer felt confident enough that the RPG would be a success that they bet someone at the game's publisher 33 baguettes that it would sell 1 million copies in a week. That ended up happening, and now the voice actor, Aliona Baranova, wants her bread.

At Emerald City Comic Con 2026, Baranova said she "knew" that Expedition 33 would be a hit. She raised the stakes, too, with a bread bet.

"I made a bet with someone called Jack who's on the Kepler [Interactive] publishing team that it would sell a million copies in the first week. I made a bet and the bet was to win 33 baguettes. Jack, where are my baguettes?" she said, as reported by GamesRadar.

Genki Covert Dock 3 Solves The Switch 2’s Clutter Problem In One Plug

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 03:51

With the Switch 2 nearing its first anniversary, more products have been unveiled that add new functionality. One is the Genki Covert Dock 3, a handy and portable dock that works with the Switch 2 and lets you connect to a TV without carrying the bulky original dock.

Available now and priced at $77, it can handle the beefier Switch 2 hardware, and it's compatible with handheld gaming PCs. If you're someone who travels often and you'd like to enjoy some big-screen gaming with your Switch 2 when you stop at a hotel, then this device is highly recommended.

Essentially, Genki's dock allows you to use your Switch 2 in docked mode without having to worry about cable clutter. It's equipped with an HDMI 2.1 port that allows it to transmit up to 4K 120fps video to a screen, and it also supports HDR and variable refresh rate (VRR). That's a significant improvement over the previous model--which could handle up to 4K 60fps footage--and the USB-C port charges at up to 65W, so if you want to hook an Xbox ROG Ally X, it has more than enough power under the hood to do so. All you need is an HDMI cable and a power outlet with your handheld and the covert dock, and you're good to go.

State of Decay 3 Is Back From The Dead, And You Might Be Able To Play It Soon

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 02:36

State of Decay 3 has been missing in action from several Xbox livestreams and game showcases for years now, but at long last, the threequel has resurfaced, and developer Undead Labs has announced that it'll be hosting an alpha test for the zombie apocalypse survival game. Sign-ups are now live for the State of Decay 3 alpha, and Undead Labs also posted a new video showing off teasing the long-in-development title.

The alpha playtest will kick off in May, and participants can expect four-player co-op, new base-building and resource strategies, and plenty of combat. "If scavenging supplies in the middle of a zombie outbreak sounds fun to you, then grab your ruck, pack some mags, and register for a chance to be included in the alpha," State of Decay co-creator Brant Fitzgerald said, while adding that there will be more opportunities throughout the year to test out the game.

State of Decay 3 was first announced in 2020, and updates on the game have been sporadic over the last six years. Earlier this year, head of Xbox Game Studios Craig Duncan said that the game is "coming on really well," and that he'd made several visits to Undead Labs recently. This new look at State of Decay 3 comes at a time when Xbox is undergoing big changes behind the scenes, which began with the departure of Phil Spencer and the announcement that Asha Sharma would take over his role as Microsoft Gaming CEO.

Uncharted 5? Fans Believe Cryptic Naughty Dog Dev Post Is Teasing The Game

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 02:22

Naughty Dog's Uncharted series sold millions of copies across multiple installments, but the main franchise has been dormant since 2016's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End brought Nathan Drake's story seemingly to a close. Now, however, fans are theorizing that Naughty Dog might be returning to the franchise, thanks in part to a vague post from Naughty Dog creative director Shaun Escayg.

A vague Instagram photo from February of a cannon in a tropical environment that is captioned "research" is now making the rounds. People are theorizing that Escayg went to Fort George at Trinidad and Tobago to help research a new Uncharted game. It's rumored that merchants stored records and valuables at Fort George, further fueling the connection to Uncharted.

Nothing is certain, of course, and Escayg might have been referencing pretty much anything with his post, or nothing at all.

Why A Switch 2 Price Increase May Be "Inevitable"

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 01:13

Seemingly everything but Costco hot dogs has increased in cost recently, and one former Nintendo retail lead believes that a Switch 2 price hike is "inevitable." Speaking on the Kit & Krysta podcast--a series run by former Nintendo employees--the man known only as "Sean" suggested that Nintendo's decision to charge less for its downloadable games will help to soften the backlash if and when it decides to increase how much its hardware costs.

"Unfortunately, I think eventually the hardware price is going to have to go up," Sean said. "I think that there are things that they can and seem to be doing to try and mitigate that, but I also look at this move on on software as--if I'm reading it correctly--a way to make a hardware price increase a little bit more palatable. We've seen inflation being a problem for a while now. Tariffs are a more recent nuisance, but they're not going away anytime soon. The demand that AI is causing for chips is causing memory prices to go up, and within the past couple of weeks, we have issues with oil prices going through the roof."

Sean added that other factors, like an increase in the price of helium--a vital component in the production of semiconductors and a resource that is becoming increasingly finite--will only exacerbate current challenges. While Nintendo can tackle thinner hardware profit margins with merchandising, Sean added that the company may have no option but to increase Switch 2 hardware prices because of external factors, no matter what steps it takes to avoid doing so.

GTA 6 Will Likely Borrow Ideas From Red Dead Redemption 2, Former Rockstar Dev Says

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 00:53

A former Rockstar Games developer has said they would be shocked if GTA 6 does not borrow some ideas from the studio's previous game, Red Dead Redemption 2.

Appearing on the Kiwi Talkz podcast, former audio designer Rob Carr--who worked on GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption II--said his evidence is that Rockstar already did this.

GTA 5, for example, borrowed the Dead Eye system from the original Red Dead, Carr said. "They used the Dead Eye as one of the perks for one of the characters. You've got the Dead Eye thing that Michael used, I think you've got the slow-mo driving thing for Franklin, and the basically berserker mode for Trevor," Carr said (via GamesRadar).

Gears Of War Actor's Gears 6 Fanfic Involves Marcus Fighting His Zombie Son

Sat, 04/04/2026 - 00:00

Instead of following up Gears 5 with a proper sequel, the franchise's next game is going back in time with Gears of War: E-Day. But that hasn't stopped JD Fenix voice actor Liam McIntyre from sharing his story ideas for a potential Gears of War 6.

Posting on X, McIntyre claimed that "there was a suggestion" that Gears developer The Coalition would make Gears 6, but the studio "wanted to try something new." Even so, McIntyre stated that the forthcoming Gears of War: E-Day "looks great" and he can't wait to play it. When prompted by a reply addressing the ending of Gears 5, McIntyre shared how he would approach the story from there.

Spoilers for Gears 5 follow, if you don't know about the ending over six years after its release. Protagonist Kait Diaz is forced to choose between saving JD or her wingman Del Walker, with the other meeting a brutal demise at the hands of Swarm Queen Reyna. It's unclear which branch is canon to Gears lore or how a sequel would accommodate player choices, but McIntyre's "solve" is making Del's survival canon, the Swarm reviving and possessing JD, and a rogue Marcus Fenix having to face his zombie-fied son.

Dead By Daylight 2? No Way, We're Not Doing That, Dev Says

Fri, 04/03/2026 - 23:56

The horror game Dead by Daylight is coming up on its 10th anniversary, and with the milestone on the horizon, developer Behaviour Interactive has told fans there are no plans for a numbered sequel. Dead by Daylight is a live-service game, and while the team did consider a sequel or some kind of new version of Dead by Daylight over the years, it never made sense to actually do it.

Creative director Dave Richard told IGN that fans have invested time and money into Dead by Daylight, and launching a sequel "never makes sense for the fans. Never ever."

Head of partnerships Mathieu Cote, meanwhile, said Behaviour wants to bring Dead by Daylight "kicking and screaming" into the next decade of its existence.

It's A Shame Rockstar Won't Make A Red Dead Movie, Jack Black Says

Fri, 04/03/2026 - 23:20

Actor Jack Black is a big fan of video games, and specifically Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption series, and he thinks it's too bad that there hasn't been a Red Dead movie yet.

Speaking to Polygon, Black said it's a "shame" that Rockstar isn't making a Red Dead movie because the games are "the most cinematic" and would seemingly lend themselves nicely to a big-screen adaptation. "It would be, like, too easy to make them into great movies," he said, adding that he would love to be in a Red Dead movie if anyone asked him.

"Hey Housers? Dan, Sam, I'm waiting for your call," he said, referencing the Rockstar founder brothers. Dan Houser left Rockstar in 2020 to start a new company, Absurd Ventures. Sam Houser remains at Rockstar and is its current president.

If Your Kids Suddenly Want To Play Star Fox, Here's How

Fri, 04/03/2026 - 13:08

The Super Mario Galaxy movie is primed for a predictably massive opening weekend despite mixed reviews, but the biggest surprise may be the non-Mario characters who make an appearance. Just ahead of the film's opening Nintendo revealed that Fox McCloud appears alongside all the Mushroom Kingdom denizens. If all that fancy flying puts you or your kids in the mood to explore the Star Fox oeuvre, we're here to help.

Star Fox is a traditional on-rails space shooter starring a team of anthropomorphic starfighter pilots. The team itself is called Star Fox, and Fox McCloud is the team leader. The other pilots--in most games, Peppy, Falco, and Slippy--are your wingmen. The series debuted on the Super NES in 1993, showing off rudimentary but at-the-time mind-blowing 3D effects. So should you track down the original Star Fox and get shooting? Not necessarily.

After Peak's Success, Its Devs Face Burnout and Big Decisions

Fri, 04/03/2026 - 10:00

Change often leaves indie developers balancing their own creative plans with what players expect after a hit. Success, especially sudden success, can reshape a studio's future overnight.

Players now expect ongoing updates, long-term support, and clear roadmaps. But even at the highest level, that model is difficult to sustain. Recent layoffs at Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, highlighted how demanding live support has become. The tension between long-term vision and player demand is becoming harder to manage. Indie teams face similar pressure without the same resources.

Aggro Crab, the studio behind Peak, is one such team. However, the studio's legacy didn't start with a live-service title; instead it began with a comedic-yet-brutal soul like: Another Crab's Treasure. The title was a commercial and critical success, elevating the studio to new heights. But after finishing Another Crab's Treasure back in 2024, Aggro Crab's small team was exhausted. The three-year project left everyone drained.
