Nintendo Breaks Its Silence On Recent Switch 2 Leaks
Nintendo's next console, the apparent Switch 2, is the talk of the town in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show this week due in part to the peripheral company Genki claiming to know what Nintendo is cooking up. Now, for the first time, Nintendo has broken its silence and commented on the leaks.
A spokesperson told Japanese newspaper The Sankei Shimbun (translated by Automaton) that the images and videos from CES are "not official." A spokesperson told CNET Japan (translated by Automaton), "The gaming hardware that Genki claims to be Nintendo hardware at CES is official and was not provided to the company by Nintendo."
At CES, Genki created a mockup of the Switch 2 that it claimed was based on a real Switch 2 console that it saw, going on to say the company was surprised by the media attention. Later, however, Genki told Game Spark that its mockup was in fact based only on leaks, not from seeing the system first hand, and that it doesn't actually know what Nintendo is planning.

Jujutsu Kaisen has been a big hit since it was adapted for anime, and at long last, the complete second season of the popular show is headed to Blu-ray. Preorders are now open for Jujutsu Kaisen: Season Two. This will be released in several editions, starting with a standard $35.70 (was $40) Blu-ray that covers the Hidden Inventory and Premature Death arcs. This will be released on February 4, but if you're only interested in the Shibuya Icident saga, there'll be a standalone Blu-ray release as well as a collector's edition arriving on March 18.
Jujutsu Kaisen: Hidden Inventory and Premature Death $35.70 (was $40)Building off of the momentum of the first hit season, Jujutsu Kaisen: Season Two covers two major story arcs. The Hidden Inventory and Premature Death episodes follows Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto during a crucial escort mission--an event that sees the duo drift apart as they deal with powerful users of cursed energy and begin to question their role in protecting humanity from evil spirits.
There are some significant moments here, with one of the highlights being Gojo's battle with Toji Fushiguro--a conflict that ends with him becoming the strongest Jujutsu sorcerer of his era. This is essentially a prequel to the main series, but one that is expanded on in the excellent Jujutsu Kaisen movie.

Two Evil Dead Movies Get Walmart-Exclusive Steelbooks
The Evil Dead film franchise holds the distinct honor of having not only a groovy remake, but also a downright terrifying recent standalone movie as well. Both of these films are getting new 4K steelbook editions from Shout Factory, so if you're looking to grow your horror collection with some stylish physical media, you can grab both of them right now. Evil Dead Rise will be out first on February 18 and is priced at $35, while the Evil Dead remake arrives on March 18 and is priced at $45.
Evil Dead (2013) $45Based on the Sam Raimi film that was first released in 1981, Evil Dead is technically a secret sequel to the original. Directed by Fede Alvarez--who recently helmed the pretty great Alien: Romulus--the 2013 Evil Dead movie goes all in on the Deadite horror of its source material. All the hallmarks of the franchise are here--a cabin in the woods, an ancient book you definitely shouldn't read aloud from, and primordial evils--and the movie is a stomach-churning experience with gruesome special and practical effects.
Special features for this release haven't been confirmed yet, but if it inherits the extras from the previous 4K release, you can expect audio commentary from the cast and crew, several mini-documentaries about Evil Dead's production, and promotional materials.
Preorder at Walmart Evil Dead Rise $35Evil Dead Rise was released back in 2023, and this flick is one of the more terrifying entries in the series. Starring Lily Sullivan and Alyssa Sutherland as two estranged sisters trying to save their families from the Deadites, the movie is bloody, horrifying, and full of scares that'll make your heart skip a few beats.
Preorder at WalmartIn case you'd like to build a complete Evil Dead collection, the rest of the films starring Bruce Campbell as the boomstick-wielding Ash Campbell--and the TV series--are available on Blu-ray as well. These have been pretty popular over the decades, and the older movies combine horror with gruesome slapstick comedy. The 2015 TV series ran for 30 episodes across three seasons and was sadly canceled in 2018.
An animated revival of the TV series has been in development since 2022 and a new spin-off film, Evil Dead Burn, is scheduled to be released in 2026.
