In its most recent Direct presentation, Nintendo announced select N64 and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games will soon be coming to Nintendo Switch Online. The caveat, however, is that they require another subscription. The Switch Nintendo 64 and Genesis titles are only available to those who opt into the new NSO + Expansion Pack plan, launching in late October.

Charging extra to access Nintendo’s latest round of decades-old ports is entirely anti-consumer, especially when the standard NSO subscription offers so little.

Does a new promo image confirm The Flash’s secret villain is actually Red Death? Arguably the most exciting (studio-sanctioned) DCEU movie since Man of Steel, Andy Muschietti’s The Flash stars Ezra Miller, once again playing the socially-awkward Barry Allen. Unfortunately for Barry, his social circle is about to become a whole lot bigger. Not only does The Flash mark Ben Affleck’s DCEU return and Sasha Calle’s Supergirl debut but, over 30 years since first pulling on the cowl, Michael Keaton is back as the Tim Burton-era Caped Crusader. Clearly taking the DC franchise in a multiverse direction, there’s no telling who else might turn up -…

One of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure’s most unique and recognizable aspects is the Stand, a manifestation of the user’s soul that fights (and “stands”) alongside them. While Stands were only introduced in part 3, Stardust Crusaders, they quickly became the norm, and all subsequent parts have focused heavily on Stands, Stand Users, and their origins. Stands can be quite complex, however, so it’s good to have a clear idea of just what a Stand entails. How Does One Get a Stand? Right from the start, Stands can manifest in a variety of different ways. Jotaro’s Stand, Star Platinum, begins to manifest…

NASA’s Hubble telescope has helped spot six ancient, dead galaxies, allowing a team of researchers to solve the mystery as to why the process of star formation stops in some galaxies. After an initial phase of very active star formation, a majority of galaxies are known to tone it down and achieve a constant rate at which new stars are created. The raw ingredients for making a star happen to be the clouds of dust and gas in a galaxy, which accrete in a region to form a dense core that eventually starts a nuclear reaction to emit heat and…
The iPhone 13 is finally available, and for folks looking to buy Apple’s latest, shopping at Verizon is a great way to save some serious cash.

Apple might have just leaked its own upcoming MacBook Pro, possibly revealing some details about two new products that might be coming soon.

From September 15 to 19, Earth’s first-ever all-civilian team orbited around our planet thanks to SpaceX and their Inspiration4 mission. The Crew Dragon marks the furthest point reached so far in space tourism, with Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin coming in second at 66 miles above the surface — just enough to cross the international edge of space at 62 miles — and Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic in third at 50 miles. However, even this achievement is unlikely to grant the Inspiration4 team the title of “astronauts.” A word used to denote anyone who had exited Earth’s atmosphere was recently changed…
