Logan Reportedly Has a Post-Credits Scene
Logan seemingly has a post-credits scene, as 20th Century Fox has added three additional minutes to the film's runtime for its theatrical release.
While critics' screenings ended without an extra tag, the word is that the final version will include a little extra.
"Let the secret post-credits scene speculation begin: Fox just updated Logan runtime to three minutes longer than version screened this week," Mike Sampson, the senior marketing and promotions manager at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, said in a post on Twitter.
Similarly, Collider's Steve Weintraub has heard that a post-credits scene will be included in the theatrical release. "Forget about the rumors…I can confirm it’s true. When Logan is released on March 3 it'll have a post-credits scene," he said. Weintraub noted that he's not sure if it's at the very end or midway through the credits, but "can 100 percent tell you something will be there."
John Cena to Help Advertise Nintendo Switch in the US
The 16-time WWE world champion, John Cena has teamed up with Nintendo to help promote the Nintendo Switch for one stop of a three-location US tour.
Cena, who famously suffers from delusions of being the invisible man despite a smattering of evidence proving his crystal-clear visibility, will be on-hand during the first Switch pop-up event at Blue Cloud Movie Ranch, California on February 23 to show off 1, 2 Switch.
He's apparently been chosen because his athleticism and acting ability make him "as versatile as the Nintendo Switch console itself." Ahem. A selection of YouTube influencers will also be there to further promote the Switch.

Halo Wars 2: No Competitive Multiplayer Ranking at Launch
The recently-launched Halo Wars 2 does not yet feature a competitive multiplayer ranking system.
As per Eurogamer, developer 343 Industries and Creative Assembly made the decision to withhold competitive ranking so the teams could fine-tune the game’s balance post-launch.
While matchmaking is indeed based on player skill, individual skill is not explicitly shown at this point in time. Instead, Halo Wars 2 only displays the user’s Spartan Rank – an XP progression system.
Speaking to Eurogamer, David Nicholson, executive producer at Creative Assembly, offered the following explanation:
Square Enix Launches New Studio, Announces New RPG
Square Enix has announced RPG Project Prelude Rune, along with the formation of a new studio.
The new studio, named Studio Istolia, is helmed by Hideo Baba, who brings some 18-plus years of experience to the table. Baba is perhaps best known as the driving force behind Namco’s ‘Tales of’ series.
According to Siliconera, the focus of Studio Istolia is to create new IP as well as further existing Square Enix franchises.
Baba serves as the producer of Project Prelude Rune, and hopes to create a new type of RPG fantasy, one which spans vast landscapes filled to the brim with a plethora of life. More information about the RPG will be revealed at a later date.
You Can Claim Your Nintendo Switch Username Now
Prospective Nintendo Switch owners can now register a User ID for the console.
Inside the Account Settings page for a Nintendo Account, there is now a "User ID" section - hit the edit button and claim your chosen title. If you haven't logged in for a little while, you may be prompted to change your password before you get to claim a name.
If it seems confusing, it sort of is. Your Nintendo Account is separate from your Switch ID, but is intrinsically linked. Your Switch ID is, essentially, a new version of the NNID you may have created for your Wii U or 3DS, and is completely separate.
With eShop purchases now tied to a Nintendo Account for the first time, it may be that this move was the simplest solution to make sure that the new system could be implemented.
The Rock Calls CM Punk From Inside a WWE Ring
You’ll almost never hear the names CM Punk or AJ Lee brought up in the WWE these days, but those attending Monday Night RAW this week in Los Angeles -- myself included -- got tons of mentions of both, thanks to megastar Dwayne Johnson.
Yes, The Rock was back in a WWE arena Monday, but not for one of his occasional in-ring appearances on RAW itself, but rather as producer of the upcoming movie Fighting With My Family. The film, directed by The Office co-creator/Logan actor Stephen Merchant, is based on the life of WWE superstar Paige and her family of British wrestlers. With WWE co-producing, RAW was being used this night to double for… RAW. Specifically, a recreation of the night Paige made her debut in WWE following her time in NXT, immediately winning th Divas Championship from AJ Lee in the process (before that title was replaced by the current Women’s Championship).
3 Ways Project CARS 2 Could Trump Gran Turismo Sport
Project CARS 2 and Gran Turismo Sport are two of 2017’s biggest racing games, and they’re both set to duke it out on track for the hearts and minds of driving die-hards at some stage this year.
It’s no secret the Slightly Mad Studios team are gunning for the big, mainstream first-party racing series like Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport – it was part of their audacious original pitch to unwilling publishers in the first place – but the developer is pushing harder than ever for Project CARS 2.
With a long history of incredible commercial success behind it the Gran Turismo series remains very much the big wheel down at the cracker factory (in terms of racing games only the Need for Speed and Mario Kart series have shifted more copies) but it’s clear now Gran Turismo Sport will actually have less content and fewer features than Project CARS 2.
