Black Panther Will Feature a Flashback to the ’90s
The upcoming Black Panther solo film will reportedly feature a flashback to the 1990s.
According to East Bay Times, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's public transit systems, AC Transit, has approved the use of a 1990s-era logo for Black Panther. This will be part of a scene showing where and how T'Challa came to be. It will establish the character's origins, with T'Challa using the AC Transit to commute to school.
"In one scene, the film’s protagonist has a flashback to 1990, while he was a student at Saint Mary’s College High School in Berkeley," reads East Bay Times description. "And of course, he’s a daily AC Transit commuter. Cue the 1990s-era bus for the appropriate establishing shot."

Nioh ‘Is a Gateway’ to a New Ninja Gaiden Game
Team Ninja’s forthcoming dungeon crawler Nioh can be seen as a “gateway” to the next Ninja Gaiden.
Creative director Tom Lee had the following to say when quizzed by US Gamer about whether Team Ninja had moved on from the Ninja Gaiden franchise:
"Maybe I can say that Nioh is a gateway into the next chapter for Ninja Gaiden.
is a very important, if not the most important franchise, for us. But at this point I think this franchise needs to be in the shadows for a while until we bring it back. There will be a time, and when the time is right, we will bring it back."
The last outing from the tough-as-nails series was 2014’s Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z - a game which was universally panned. In IGN’s review, we said “Gaiden games have always been challenging, but they’ve also always been fair. Yaiba is not.
