You've seen Sonic the Hedgehog, but have you ever seen Sonic the Duck? That's exactly what you're getting with this new release from Tubbz, as the company behind the weird--but cool--video game rubber duckies, has put a plush spin on Sonic. Instead of being constructed from water-resistant rubber, he's now a soft duckie that's just asking to be hugged. And because duckie scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should have made a Dr...

From blue shells to King Boos, Mario Kart and Mario Party have spent decades seemingly committed to fostering as much division among their players as possible--my wife once exclaimed, "I do not love you" when I beat her to the finish line of a flagpole minigame in 2018's Super Mario...
Yu-Gi-Oh fans have been underserved when it comes to replaying some of the best games from the franchise's heyday, but that's all changing with the upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh: Early Days Collection.

Even better, many of the books are...
Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions has finally delivered fans of the Wizarding World a proper Quidditch sports game, and so it only makes sense that broom customization will be a major factor in the experience. Ideally, you'll be spending the entirety of every Quidditch match on one, after all. But every broom that's available to choose from has its pros and cons--there's no one-size-fits-all choice to be made here. To pick the best broom in Quidditch Champions for you, you'll have to figure...
35 years ago, Nintendo shook the games industry up with the release of its Game Boy handheld--a device that made video games more mainstream than ever thanks to its simple design and library of must-play titles. If you're looking to relive the golden age of Nintendo's iconic portable console, you should check out The Game Boy Encyclopedia, an upcoming book that explores the hundreds of games released for the handheld across its lifespan.
