NES Classic Mini Returning to Stores
Nintendo has announced that we'll see more stock of the upcoming SNES Classic Edition, and a return to stores for its seemingly discontinued predecessor, the NES Classic Edition.
In a press release, Nintendo announced that, "Due to incredible demand for the upcoming
, Nintendo plans to ship the retro-inspired product into 2018. Originally, shipments were announced to cease at the end of this calendar year."
The press release adds that the NES Classic will return on an unspecified date in summer 2018. No further details were given - is it too much to hope that they'll sort out those tiny controller wires, too?
Destiny 2: Scheduled Maintenances Takes Servers Offline Today
Any players of Destiny 2 - and there's at least 1.2 million of you - who have struggled to drag themselves away from their screens since the game's launch last week are being given the perfect opportunity by Bungie, which is taking the servers offline for four hours today for scheduled maintenance.
As detailed on the "Maintenance" section of Bungie's website, servers for both Destiny 2 and the original Destiny will close their doors at 7am PT / 10am ET / 3pm BST (or 12am Wednesday, September 13 AEST).

We Reveal 5 New Shadowverse: Starforged Legends Cards
Shadowverse’s newest expansion, Starforged Legends, will be out on September 28, and is bringing 104 new cards themed around the heavens to the game. From what we’ve seen of the set so far, that means cards based around constellations and the zodiac, as well as a healthy dose of Greek mythology – Medusa, Perseus, and the like.

The 13 Worst Schools in TV and Film
We can all agree that high school can suck. TV and film have captured that fact of life with varying degrees of realism. But some have stood out from others, taking the normal teenage challenges of acquiring popularity, dealing with teachers, and succeeding academically to much darker places.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at 13 TV and movie high schools we would absolutely never want to enroll in.
What's the one thing about school that's always amazing, no matter what? Field trips! It's the opportunity to leave school for the day to explore something new or do something fun and it technically counts as learning. What's not to love? Unfortunately, for students at Shiroiwa Junior High in Battle Royale, there's plenty to hate. Something as pure and fun as a field trip could land you on an island and forced to fight for your life until you’re the sole survivor of your class. In Battle Royale's dystopian future, where the government controls the population by pitting kids against each other, the last thing you want to do at school is end up in a shock collar with your fellow classmates trying to murder you.
13 Secrets We Learned on the Set of Star Trek Discovery
Last month I was lucky enough to visit the set of Star Trek: Discovery in Toronto. As a lifelong Star Trek fan, it was quite a thrill to stand on the bridge of a starship, walk its corridors, and climb onto a transporter pad (and, of course, do the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign too). And with the show set to debut on September 24, CBS is hoping that viewers will also be thrilled by the latest adventure set in Gene Roddenberry's iconic universe.
The show stars Sonequa Martin-Green as Commander Michael Burnham, First Officer of the USS Discovery. Also starring Jason Isaacs, Michelle Yeoh, Doug Jones, Anthony Rapp, Shazad Latif, and Mary Chieffo, Discovery takes place 10 years before The Original Series and depicts a time of war between the Federation and the Klingons.

Bungie and Sony have publicly acknowledged an issue when playing Destiny 2 on PS4 Pro, and are working to resolve the problem.
The error, coded CE-34787-0, causes the system to crash. Bungie acknowledged the issue in a post on its forums, noting that some players have had luck in reducing how often it occurs by turning off the HDCP settings on their console.
This is by no means a long term fix, and both the developer and Playstation support have said they are working to resolve the error.

Patty Jenkins Returning to Direct Wonder Woman Sequel
Patty Jenkins is set to return and direct Wonder Woman 2.
IGN can confirm Jenkins has closed a deal to return to the director's chair, as well as co-write and produce the Wonder Woman sequel, which is currently set to hit theaters on December 13, 2019. It was reported last month Jenkins was close to finalizing a deal that would make her the highest paid female director in Hollywood.
Though an official figure still hasn't been revealed, THR's report suggests Jenkins may make anywhere in the $7 million-$9 million range and a sizable backend deal, which would earn her more money based on the film's financial gross. Jenkins reportedly made about $1 million for directing the first film.
