One of the most popular Nintendo Switch and PC controllers sold by Amazon is on sale for a great price. The ManbaOne Wireless Controller, which released in March 2024, is up for grabs for $56 (was $70). This matches the lowest price yet for this pro-style controller with a built-in miniature display. Yes, the ManbaOne has a terrible name, but it's a pretty awesome controller that impressed us when we tested it last year. The white model shown below is eligible for the 20% discount, while the black version is slightly more expensive at $60.

If the upcoming Lilo & Stitch live-action remake has you wanting to revisit the series, but you've already seen the original animated movie and its TV series spinoffs enough times, you might want to check out the official Lilo & Stitch manga series where Stitch winds up in feudal Japan and befriends and brutal samurai warlord. Yes, it's a real thing, and you can grab the entire series with the Stitch and the Samurai: The Complete Collection, which is on sale for $20.45 (was $22) at Amazon.

Stitch and the Samurai manga $20.45 (was $22)

Stitch and the Samurai is an official manga series by Hiroto Wada set in an alternate plotline where Stitch crash-lands in Sengoku-era Japan instead of modern-day Hawaii. The warlord Lord Yamato discovers Stitch and believes him to be a "blue tanuki" he can deploy in battle--only for the cute alien to slowly soften the samurai's stoic disposition. The full series is now available in a single 564-page hardcover omnibus, Stitch and the Samurai: The Complete Collection, for $20.45 (was $22). The series was previously published in three separate volumes, which are also available. Buying the paperback volumes separately is more expensive than the omnibus version, but their smaller format makes them much easier on your hands.

Stitch and the Samurai: The Complete Collection Stitch and the Samurai Volumes 1--3 Disney Manga featuring Stitch

Surprisingly, Stitch and the Samurai isn't the only Lilo and Stitch manga. The Stitch manga, illustrated by Yumi Tsukurino, sees the adorable superweapon travel to a Japanese island near Okinawa, where he befriends a young girl named Yuna who excels at karate, and wacky hijinks ensue. You can pick up the full series in a 352-page omnibus collection for just $12 (was $15). The two original separate volumes are also available for purchase. The series was followed up by two sequels, Best Friends Forever and the upcoming Best Food Forever. There's also the Disney manga series Magical Dance, which features Stitch and a few other characters from the House of Mouse helping aspiring performer Rin to realize her dream of becoming a dancer.

Over in the US, there have been quite a few Stitch graphic novels published as well. Last year saw the release of a new adventure set after the first film, written by one of the best talents to ever work on Marvel's Incredible Hulk, Greg Pak, and illustrated in vivid detail by Giulia Giacomino. This is a nice 104-page graphic novel for kids that you can pick up for $11.18 (was $13) and it follows Stitch as he takes on evil aliens and giant robots powered by his own DNA. The second volume is also out soon on July 8, and this storyline sees Lilo recruited by the Galactic Federation to be their go-to expert for animal control.

Lilo and Stitch: O'Hana Volume 1 Lilo and Stitch: O'Hana Volume 2 Agent Stitch books

On the prose side, there are also the kid-friendly books in the Agent Stitch book series. Written by Steve Behling and featuring illustrations by Arianna Rhea, these books revolve around Stitch investigating paranormal activities on Earth on behalf of the Galactic Federation. The first book sees Stitch travel to Paris to uncover the disappearance of one of the federation's best operatives, Cobra Bubbles, and rumors of snail-like aliens known as Snailiens, and the second book sees Stitch land in New York City to solve a missing persons case involving shape-shifting aliens. Book three shifts the action to Korea as Stitch teams up with K-Pop idols to aliens operating in the city of Seoul.

Beating the Ender Dragon in Minecraft technically marks the end of the game, as the credits will roll when you leave the area post-fight. However, there are several useful techniques and important mechanics that you need to know before you head into the fight with one of the strongest Minecraft mobs. Here's how to find the Ender Dragon, how to beat it, and the rewards you'll get for slaying it.

Items to bring to the fight

Before we get into the mechanics of the Ender Dragon fight, there are several items you should seek out and bring with you on the journey. You'll want to read our dedicated Minecraft The End guide for information on how to find The End and how to get there, but in terms of items that will be useful, we've got you covered.

You'll need three full stacks of scaffolding in order to reach the tops of the towers. You can bring normal blocks, but scaffolding allows you to go up and down at will, instead of relying on water buckets to break your fall from the top of the tower. If you're anything like me, you've failed at the water bucket trick too many times to count, so scaffolding is the safer option. Having said that, do bring a water bucket to protect yourself from the many Endermen that spawn in the fight arena.

The Warden is one of the deadliest Minecraft mobs in the game, but it's actually not supposed to be treated like a boss. The best way to deal with the Minecraft Warden is to sneak around and avoid it, so that you can access valuable Ancient City loot. However, if you find yourself curious and wanting to look him in the eye, this guide will detail which Minecraft biomes to find him in, how to spawn him, and how to beat him if running away isn't as successful as you'd like it to be.

• How to find the Warden

How to find the Warden

The Warden will spawn in Deep Dark caves, and you'll be able to tell if you're in an area where he can appear, as there'll be a lot of Sculk littering the ground and walls. Sculk is a deep midnight-blue block with flecks of electric blue. It starts off sparsely dotted around, but as the cave opens up, it becomes very dense and is joined by Sculk Sensors and Sculk Shriekers.

The Warden will rise out of the ground when triggered.

The Warden doesn't automatically spawn in these areas, though. Instead, a player needs to trigger four Sculk Shriekers. You'll know the Shrieker has been activated as blue sonar waves will be emitted from it. To trigger one, you need to directly step on a Sculk Sensor or cause a vibration by moving or interacting with something close to it. The sensor will then send a signal to the Shrieker, which will make a loud noise. After triggering the Shrieker, or any Shrieker, four times, a Warden will rise from the ground, and the surrounding area will get darker.

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ for Nintendo Switch

$35 (was $50)

See at Amazon

Nintendo Switch owners can get rare discount on a 2024 RPG that is in short supply at major retailers. Tokyo Xanadu ex+, an expanded edition of the highly rated action-RPG from Nihon Falcom, is up for grabs for $35 (was $50), which is a new all-time best price. Published by Aksys Games, Tokyo Xanadu has only received a few discounts since its release on Nintendo Switch last July, and the game is sold out at multiple retailers.

Nihon Falcom is best known for its long-running Legend of Heroes and Ys series; if you like either of those franchises, you'll probably feel right at home with Tokyo Xanadu. Nihon Falcom games typically aren't available in physical edition for very long, which is worth keeping in mind if you planned on adding Tokyo Xanadu to your Switch collection.

The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann has announced that he is currently working on another Naughty Dog title in addition to the recently revealed Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet. Though we've known for some time that the studio is currently working on multiple projects--and that's excluding the recently canceled The Last of Us Online, to be clear--this is our first confirmation that Druckmann is involved in a game other than Intergalactic. Considering Druckmann has confirmed that he does have a concept for The Last of Us III and felt like there would probably be "one more chapter to the story," it seems entirely plausible that the second game could be a new entry in The Last of Us series.

Druckmann shared the big news on the Press X to Continue podcast (later reported on by VGC), stating: "There's another game that's being worked on at Naughty Dog where I'm in more of a producer role and I get to mentor, watch this other team, and give feedback and be the executive in the room. I enjoy all those roles, and the fact that I jump from one to the next makes my job very exciting and always feeling fresh. I’m never bored."

The creative director also clarified that he is currently working on Intergalactic alongside two other Naughty Dog directors, Matthew Gallant and Kurt Margenau, and co-writer Clair Carré. VGC noted this means that Naughty Dog still has two other prominent game directors who are currently unattached to any of its announced projects: Shaun Escayg (Uncharted: The Lost Legacy) and Anthony Newman (The Last of Us: Part II).

Fortnite is in the middle of a Star Wars season, which has boasted a rapidly growing roster of heroes and villains from the sci-fi classic. However, one of the newest outfits is notably weird even by Fortnite standards: You can now play as Darth Jar Jar, but you'll need to grind a lot of XP to be able to buy the skin.

In a recent blog post, developer Epic Games announced a number of accessories for evil Jar Jar that are now available to purchase. These include a wrap, a pickaxe, a back bling, and the full outfit. However, these specific items are locked behind XP benchmarks, which players can earn in any Fortnite mode. To unlock the ability to buy all of the items, you'll need to amass 1,280,000 XP. Depending on how committed to grinding out XP you are and the modes you play, this will likely take at least several hours of gameplay to earn.

In addition, once you hit these XP benchmarks, you'll still have to shell out V-Bucks. In total, the Darth Jar Jar item set costs 3,200 V-Bucks (roughly $26); if you just want the outfit, that costs 1,500 V-Bucks (roughly $13).

Nintendo has developed a reputation for defying expectations--for bucking industry trends and charting a distinct path from its competitors with wildly inventive games and consoles--which is why the Switch 2 feels almost disappointingly conservative at first glance. Rather than reinvent the wheel yet again with its newest system, the company has opted to take a more conventional approach when developing the platform, beefing up specs and augmenting the hardware with a few additional (though not exactly groundbreaking) features. But though it may not seem as outwardly surprising or disruptive as previous Nintendo systems, the Switch 2 consolidates nearly every console feature Nintendo has pioneered into one package, making it the culmination of the company's hardware experiments.

Every new feature the Switch 2 boasts can be traced back, in one form or another, to a previous Nintendo console. The system's built-in mic stands as a prime example. Nintendo has tinkered with adding microphones to its consoles since its earliest days as a game maker. The Famicom included a mic in one of its controllers; subsequent systems like the Nintendo 64 and GameCube received mic accessories for use with certain games; the DS and 3DS each had mics built right into their hardware; and the Wii U offered one through the GamePad. Most of these, however, were used primarily for gameplay purposes--such as barking commands in Nintendogs--rather than for communicating with other players.

The Switch 2's mic serves a different function. Though some titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree still use it for minigames, the mic is primarily meant to facilitate GameChat, the system's touted group-chat function. This, of course, is hardly a novel feature for a game console in this day and age; other platforms have offered voice chat for years, and even the original Switch allowed it (albeit in a roundabout way through the separate Switch Online smartphone app). GameChat, however, is intended to be a communal experience--more of a social hangout than a way to coordinate with others who are playing the same game. Building the microphone directly into the system rather than offering it as a separate headset opens GameChat up to everyone in the room, fostering a more casual atmosphere than the traditional approach to voice chat.

Nintendo has provided a detailed overview of the official Switch 2 carrying case and what Switch 2 game cards look like.

In a new video posted on the Nintendo Today app, the company showed off the carrying case, which can store the console, two Joy-Con straps, and six game cards. In this video, we also get our closest look yet at Switch 2 game cards. While they look pretty similar in size and shape to original Switch cards, they are almost entirely bright red--making them immediately visually distinct from the slate-gray cards of the previous console. You can see the video via Bluesky user OatmealDome.

The carrying case, which goes for $40 on Nintendo's store, has a flip-down flap that appears to have snug slots to hold up to six games. It also has a zipper pocket, which is shown storing Joy-Con wrist straps.

After nearly a decade in the works, the fan game Bionicle: Masks of Power has been shut down following a request from Lego.

To mark the end of the project, Team Kanohi, a group of fans who came together to build the "Bionicle game of [their] dreams," has released a "post-mortem" walkthrough of Masks of Power's last build. It was shaping up to be a stylish third-person action-adventure game featuring Lego's iconic masked ninjas, and it honestly looks awesome. Check the gameplay video out in the embed below.

In a letter to fans, Team Kanohi stated that it is unclear why, exactly, Lego decided to shut the game down now. As the team wrote, it had worked hard to follow Lego's terms around fair use of Bionicle assets. For instance, Team Kanohi never planned on charging players for the game, and it clearly labeled all of its websites and game pages with information about Masks of Power being a fan-made project.

It took over 10 years to arrive, but Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 didn’t disappoint. Taking place around two centuries after the first game, Space Marine 2 has you shooting and slicing your way through hordes of Tyranids--and it’s every bit as bloody and brutal as fans had hoped.

And if you haven’t yet experienced the chaos, right now you can pick up the game for its lowest price ever.

Let's face it, once you get an Elytra in Minecraft you won't need four-legged companions to quickly traverse the map anymore, but that's tens of hours into your adventure unless you're speedrunning. Before then, Minecraft horses are invaluable, as they provide a faster way of traveling than sprinting and don't use as much of your nutrition. Horses can be found in the wild, tamed, bred, and can even wear armor. They've also got individual statistics, so if you want to put a few hours into breeding the perfect horse, we've got all you need to know.

Where to find horses

Horses usually spawn in plains or savanna biomes in herds of between two and six. They can also be found in stables and pens in villages across any biome. They won't spawn anywhere with a light level of less than nine in Java or seven in Bedrock.

Minecraft horses come in several different colors

There are several variations of horses, ranging in color and pattern, and they can spawn as an adult or a foal. They come in white, buckskin, flaxen chestnut, bay, black, and dapple gray. Combined with the patterns available, there are 35 possible horse combinations to suit your preference.

Whatever your reason for needing renewable lava generation in Minecraft, it's pretty simple to get set up, as long as you remember certain block materials will be flammable if they come into contact with lava. When I made my first lava generator, I accidentally set alight the entire top floor of the tower base my friend and I spent around a week building. Avoid my early mistakes by following this guide on how to create a lava farm safely.

The basic concept of a lava farm is using Minecraft dripstone, cauldrons, and non-flammable materials to allow lava to drip down the pointed dripstone and collect in the cauldron. The entire process takes around 19 minutes to fill one cauldron with lava, so it's easier to have multiple cauldrons and dripstones set up.

A simple lava farm

You need to have a lava source block, that is one which is not flowing, above the cauldrons. You can use most stone blocks to craft this, or even glass if you want the lava to be more visible. Do not use wood. I'll explain how to create a lava farm with powered rails beneath it to efficiently collect as much lava as possible in as little time as possible.

Nacon Revolution X Unlimited Xbox & PC Wireless Controller

$200

See at Amazon

It wasn't that long ago that Xbox Series X|S owners could only use official Microsoft controllers for wireless play. Outside of modded options from brands like Scuf, the Xbox Wireless Controller and Elite Series 2 Controllers were the only choices. And while Microsoft's official controllers are quite good, it's always nice to have different models to choose from. So it was a great development when Microsoft opened its wireless protocol to licensed manufacturers. Over the past two years, the market for wireless third-party Xbox controllers has actually become a bit crowded. The latest notable Elite Series 2 challenger to enter the pro-style controller ring is the Nacon Revolution X Unlimited.

Nacon Revolution X Unlimited Xbox & PC Wireless Controller $200

Key Features:

The Nacon Revolution X Unlimited has a bevy of premium features, including numerous physical modifications and input customization options. Here's a breakdown of what you'll find on this wireless Xbox, PC, and Android controller.

• 2.4GHz Wireless (USB-A) for Xbox & PC / Wired via USB-C
• PC Mode: 2ms wireless / 1ms wired latency, Gyroscope controls
• Built-in LCD customization screen
• Bluetooth for Android
• Hall Effect analog sticks
• 6 extra buttons (4 rear triggers, 2 shoulder buttons)
• 6 swappable stick caps
• 3 sets of handle weights
• 2 pairs of analog stick rings for resistance
• 2 D-pads (8-way & 4-way)
• Adjustable microswitch trigger locks (2 stopping points)

Nacon previously released a PS5 pro-style controller in 2023 called the Revolution 5 Pro. Though the latest member of the Revolution lineup has some familiar features--the interchangeable weights, for instance--the Revolution X Unlimited does have components not found on Revolution 5 Pro. Most notably, the Xbox edition adds a built-in LCD display and has two swappable D-pads--the Revolution 5 Pro has a custom fighting game-centric D-pad.

The built-in customization screen is a handy feature that we've seen in a few other controllers, including Turtle Beach's Stealth Ultra. It works well, allowing you to remap inputs and create custom profiles. If you plug a wired headset into the 3.5mm audio jack, you can tinker with the EQ settings and game/chat balance directly on the controller. I found the onboard controls helpful since the Revolution X Unlimited software app for Xbox and PC is a bit buggy at the moment, especially on Xbox, where the app crashed while trying to adjust settings. On the flip side, I didn't run into any problems while using the built-in screen.

Coral was added to Minecraft back in July 2018 as a way to add more color and function to the survival game's oceans. While coral has limited uses, if you don't know how to correctly harvest and use it, it could quickly turn dull, lifeless, and boring.

There are five types of coral--tube, fire, horn, bubble, and brain, as well as fanned variants of all of those. They naturally generate in warm ocean biomes in coral reefs, but they need water to survive. Otherwise, they'll turn into dead coral. Where once they were bright blues, oranges, pinks, and yellows, dead coral turns gray and lifeless.

Coral is found in warm oceansHow to collect Coral in Minecraft

To collect coral, you'll need a tool with the Silk Touch Minecraft enchantment. It does mine instantly, so unlike Obsidian you won't need to spend ages harvesting it. That's especially helpful since it's underwater. You don't want to drown, after all.

HBO's The Last of Us is about to wrap up its second season, and a third is on the way. Showrunner Craig Mazin has now said it would be impossible to tell the story he and his team have in mind in anything fewer than four seasons, adding that he expects Season 3 will be longer than Season 2.

Mazin told Collider, "There's no way to complete this narrative in a third season. Hopefully, we'll earn our keep enough to come back and finish it in a fourth." Before this, HBO management said The Last of Us would likely end after its fourth season.

The showrunner and writer also assured viewers that the team is always thinking ahead to help map out the future of the show, and so far, Mazin has things mapped out through Season 4.

The Last of Us showrunner Craig Mazin has discussed the most heartbreaking scene from the newest episode of the HBO series, which debuted on May 18. This story contains big spoilers.

Episode 6, which takes place in the past, features a memorable scene where Ellie (Bella Ramsey) meets Joel (Pedro Pascal) on the porch and they have an intense conversation where Ellie asks Joel to confirm if her suspicions are true about what happened in Salt Lake City.

Ellie asks Joel to confirm that he killed many people at the hospital, including Marlene, and that the doctors could have made a cure for the fungal infection. Joel confirms all of this, with tears streaming down his face, and Ellie is hugely upset with him in part because she says dying to help create a cure would have given her life meaning.
