Nintendo Switch Pro Controller Discounted At Amazon, But Probably Not For Long

Marvel’s upcoming Fantastic Four reboot is beginning to fill out the rest of its cast, and now Emmy-winner Paul Walter Hauser is the latest addition. Via Deadline, Hauser’s role is currently undisclosed, so he could be playing a friend or foe to the first family of superheroes.

Hauser won his Emmy earlier this year for his haunting supporting role as serial killer Larry Hall in Apple TV+’s Black Bird. He also starred as the title character in Richard Jewell, and he has a recurring role on Netflix’s Cobra Kai.

In 2024 alone, Hauser has voiced the Dark in Netflix’s animated film, Orion and the Dark, in addition to lending his voice to Embarrassment in Pixar’s Inside Out 2. Hauser also recently signed on to star as the late Saturday Night Live legend Chris Farley in a biopic directed by Josh Gad. Additionally, Hauser will star opposite Liam Neeson, Pamela Anderson, and Kevin Durand in The Naked Gun reboot.

Earlier this year, Marvel announced that The Mandalorian’s Pedro Pascal will play Mr. Fantastic alongside Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as the Thing. More recently, Ozark’s Julia Garner was cast as Shalla-Bal, who will be the Silver Surfer in the MCU.

The Fantastic Four will be directed by Matt Shakman from a script by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springe. Marvel will release the film on July 25, 2025.

Nintendo’s release schedule for the remainder of 2024 is a major unknown; other than remakes of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (May 23) and Luigi’s Mansion 2 (June 27), there are no first-party titles announced by Nintendo for release this year. A new ESRB rating might hint at an upcoming reveal, as a listing for Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition has appeared on the ratings board’s website.

The ESRB listing calls Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition a “collection of 2D challenges and platformer games in which players traverse through various modes (e.g., speedrun, survival).” These modes will incorporate various challenges including reaching certain areas or battling groups of enemies, among others, according to the ESRB description.

Some speculated that the tease could have been an imminent return for the in-person event after known Nintendo leaker Pyoro posted an image of the Nintendo World Championships 1990 NES cartridge on Twitter. Per VGC, the ESRB description instead implies that a new game is coming rather than a port of the old cartridge.

The original Nintendo World Championships 1990 game was a similar collection of minigames featuring Super Mario Bros., Rad Racer, and Tetris, which was used during the competition of the same name. Two versions of the cartridge exist–a gray version which was distributed to some competitors in the event, and a gold version which was given as a prize to readers of Nintendo Power magazine.

Nintendo’s immediate future has been a major question for its fan base since the beginning of the year, as rumors of the company’s next home console have circulated for a majority of 2024. Most recently, reports surfaced that the console was internally delayed by Nintendo until 2025 in the hopes of avoiding supply issues on launch day.

Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition has not been officially announced as of this writing. Meanwhile, a recent Heritage Auctions listing says that the original 1990 cartridge sold for $84,000. Hopefully this new game, when announced, doesn’t cost the same price.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is on sale for only $30 at multiple major retailers as part of the annual Star Wars Day festivities. The May 4 holiday–May the Fourth be with you–lands on weekend this year, so you could celebrate the holiday by playing Respawn Entertainment’s great action-adventure game. Survivor rarely sells for its list price of $70 these days, but it also doesn’t drop lower than $30 either. You can take advantage of this Jedi: Survivor deal for PS5 and Xbox Series X, but the game is starting to sell out at some retailers. Digital codes for the PC version of Jedi: Survivor on Steam, EA Play, and Epic Games Store are available for $31.49.

Star Wars Jedi Survivor (PS5) — $30 ($70)

Star Wars Jedi Survivor (Xbox Series X) — $30 ($70)

It’s worth noting that Xbox Series X|S owners don’t necessarily need to buy a copy of Survivor to play. Survivor was recently added to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. It’s also available to EA Play subscribers, which comes with Game Pass Ultimate. Survivor’s predecessor, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, is also available on EA Play and Game Pass. You can get a 14-day free trial of Game Pass Ultimate if you’re a new subscriber. If you’re not eligible, the best value is a three-month Game Pass Ultimate subscription at Amazon for $45, which saves you two bucks per month compared to subscribing directly from Xbox. It’s also worth noting that other retailers have raised the price of three-month Game Pass Ultimate codes to $50, but Amazon is still selling them for $45.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (PC) — $31.49 ($70)

Like the previous game, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Survivor is a third-person action-adventure with metroidvania elements in its level design and weighty lightsaber combat inspired by Dark Souls. The game continues the story of Cal Kestis, who has become a seasoned Jedi Knight in the time between Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor. As you journey across the Outer Rim of the galaxy, he’ll become even stronger in the ways of the Force.

In GameSpot’s Star Wars Jedi: Survivor review, Jordan Ramée praised the game’s “Exhilarating lightsaber combat and physics-defying platforming puzzle challenges,” and lauded the game’s story about overcoming fear, survivor’s guilt, and self-doubt, calling it “the Jedi story I’ve wanted for a long time.”

Respawn’s Star Wars games aren’t available on Nintendo Switch, but that doesn’t mean Switch users can’t pick up a great Star Wars deal right now. Star Wars: Heritage Pack, a Switch-exclusive collection featuring seven classic Star Wars games, is on sale for $40 (was $60) at Amazon and Best Buy. The digital version of this collection costs $80, so this is a pretty nice deal, and all of the games except for two are preloaded on the cartridge:

• Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy
• Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
• Star Wars Episode I Racer
• Star Wars Republic Commando
• Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
• Knights of the Old Republic (Downloadable)
• Knights of the Old Republic 2 (Downloadable)

Disney Epic Mickey launched on Nintendo Wii way back in 2010. Now, nearly 15 years later, the game is getting a second life on Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X with Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a faithful reimagining of the old 3D platformer, complete with new abilities, enhanced graphics, and improved controls. The game doesn’t have a release date beyond “2024,” but preorders are already open at a variety of retailers.

Here’s a look at Epic Mickey: Rebrushed preorders, including all available editions and preorder bonuses. While you’re waiting for the game to launch, consider biding your time with Disney Illusion Island–which is every bit as visually stunning as Epic Mickey but lets three other players join in on the platforming action.

At this time, there are no announced preorder bonuses for Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed. This could change once the game gets a firm release date, and we could also see retailer-exclusive bonuses at places like Best Buy and GameStop. We’ll update this article as soon as any new details are revealed.
