Nintendo has added another classic title to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service. The acclaimed strategy RPG Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones is now available to play through the service's Game Boy Advance library.

Originally released in 2005, Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones marked the second Fire Emblem game to be localized and released outside of Japan. The game follows royal twins Eirika and Ephraim as they each set out across the continent of Magvel on a quest to halt the militant Grado Empire.

As previously mentioned, the Game Boy Advance library is available exclusively as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack plan. This premium tier offers all of the features of the base Switch Online plan along with additional perks, including access to select DLC, as well as classic Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games.

Spoilers: The Switch 2 will be more powerful than Switch. One way that's being showcased from the jump is Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition coming to the upcoming system, especially considering the RPG's newly-included DLC never even arrived on PS4 and Xbox One. It's now the first confirmed game to support Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) on the system, according to Eurogamer.

Nvidia previously stated that Switch 2 would support DLSS in a blog post earlier this month. The "AI-driven" feature was specifically noted to assist in "boosting resolution for sharper details without sacrificing image quality" on Nintendo's upcoming console. However, no Switch 2 game had highlighted tapping into this tech yet until CD Projekt Red confirmed Cyberpunk 2077 is utilizing it.

"We're using a version of DLSS available for Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, powered by Nvidia's Tensor cores," the developer told Eurogamer. "The game utilises DLSS in all four modes: in handheld and docked, and the performance and quality variations of each."

Physical editions of No Sleep For Kaname Date are $50 for Nintendo Switch 2 or the original Switch. This makes it one of the rare Switch 2 games thus far that isn't $10 more expensive than the Switch version.

Kaname Date, the Psyncer extraordinaire, is back in action, and players will conduct investigations and help solve escape game puzzles by "Psyncing" into the dreams of potential suspects for clues.

When Diablo 4 Season 8 arrives on April 29, it will dramatically overhaul one core aspect of Diablo 4's endgame: the boss ladder.

Some of Diablo 4's best seasons have been ones that, in many ways, aren't seasons at all. Instead, they bring major, permanent changes to core aspects of Blizzard's ARPG. Blizzard knows this all too well, as its recent 2025 Diablo 4 roadmap shows that each of the game's three seasons for the remainder of the year will look to improve various aspects of the core game experience.

That is definitely the case for the boss-focused Season 8: Belial's Return. It not only brings new bosses into the endgame, including the return of the fan-favorite Belial from Diablo 3, but also makes changes to existing bosses to make them more challenging. It overhauls how to access (and gain loot from) endgame bosses, as well as a few other flourishes to make the whole endgame boss loop more interesting, and rewarding, than before. The icing on top is that defeating each boss will let players harness some of their most-iconic abilities in the form of new seasonal powers that can be incorporated into builds for game-changing combinations.

Diablo 4 Season 8 launches April 29 and, in addition to overhauling the game's endgame boss system, will also completely rework its battle pass to give players more control over which rewards interest them the most.

The new battle pass system is called The Reliquary, and it breaks down rewards that would typically be in the battle pass into a number of different categories. The core seasonal Reliquary will actually be free, and at least for Season 8, will include a new Town Portal cosmetic, a weapon cosmetic, mount cosmetics, and some of the game's premium currency, Platinum. Meanwhile, separate Reliquaries for cosmetic armor, weapons, and "beasts" (aka pets and mounts) will also be available to unlock with Platinum.

A look at what all is new in Diablo 4 Season 8.

Each reward in each Reliquary can be unlocked in any order using a new currency called Favor Tokens that are earned from slaying monsters and completing quests. Claiming all of the rewards from a particular Reliquary will then grant a bonus reward that doesn't require a Favor Token to unlock. Players will be able to hold 99 Favor Tokens at one time, with items costing anywhere from two Favor Token to 10.

This post contains spoilers for HBO's The Last of Us

The latest episode of HBO's The Last of Us, in which Pedro Pascal's Joel was brutally murdered by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), ended with a beautiful rendition of Shawn James' "Through the Valley."

If the voice singing the song sounded familiar, that's because it was the pipes of none other than Ashley Johnson, who played Ellie in the video game series.

As Ellie (Bella Ramsey), Jesse (Young Mazino), and Dina (Isabela Merced) are towing Joel's dead body back to Jackson, the song begins to play. Johnson originally recorded her version of "Through the Valley" for a promotional teaser for The Last of Us: Part II in 2016.

Sometimes, you must go back to go forward. Nintendo apparently took that to heart when promoting the upcoming Switch 2, as the company has brought back Ant-Man star Paul Rudd for a new commercial for the hybrid system. Rudd originally appeared in a 1991 TV ad for SNES before he was a household name and Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero.

Nintendo shared the Switch 2 launch commercial--called Now You're Playing Together--on YouTube. It's a riff on the 1991 SNES commercial starring Rudd that ended with, "Now you're playing with power. Super Power." In fact, GameSpot has highlighted how Nintendo has, in a way, remastered the SNES ad for Switch 2, which can be seen below from Instagram.

Rudd sports the same outfit in the new Switch 2 ad, which spurs actor Joe Lo Truglio (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Wet Hot American Summer) to ask: "Why are you dressed like you're in a boy band?" The commercial puts a major focus on GameChat, the system's social hub that allows for voice and video chat.
