Strange Glitched Pokémon Teased For Sword and Shield

The latest new Pokémon to join the Galar region has been unveiled - but only partially. The Pokémon Sword and Shield website has seemingly been hacked by a glitched and as-yet-unnamed Pokémon.

The official Pokémon Twitter account shared a link that leads to the upcoming games' main website - but a corner of the screen is covered by a pixelated image. If you hover your cursor over it the image flees around the page a few times until you're able to click it, and the cry of a mysterious Pokémon rings out.

According to Variety the service has soft launched in the Netherlands to test the platform. The test launch doesn't include the full line up of titles, including the highly anticipated Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian, but what early users are seeing are some great old school cartoons.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Remake Graphics Comparison

This may come as a surprise to you, but the Switch remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening looks pretty different from the Game Boy version. Still, it recreates the original's the world, scenery, and even opening cutscenes almost one-to-one in a shiny new art style.

To show how close it can get, we took a side-by-side look at a few (spoiler-free) scenes that are in both the remake and the DX version of the original that was on Game Boy Color (a more interesting visual comparison than the simple shades of green on the Game Boy). Watch the video above to see it in action, flip through the slideshow below to see the shots next to each other, or scroll further down the page to slide between the two versions for yourself.

Joker Projected to Beat Venom’s Opening Weekend Box Office Record

The latest DC supervillain movie, Joker, will premiere early next month and is already on track to beat the October record for opening weekend.

Variety reports that early tracking results estimate the movie to earn between $76 million to $88 million at the box office during its opening weekend. If these numbers hold true, Joker has a good chance to oust Venom's impressive $80 million October opening weekend.

Despite these results, Warner Bros. has set its estimates lower, expecting $50 to $55 million. This is in part thanks to the darker and unconventional depiction of the popular DC character, which some executives believe will push fans and mainstream audiences away.
