SuperMansion: Season 2 Trailer
The trailer for Season 2 of the animated superhero comedy SuperMansion is here, and a new character has entered the scene.
Check out the trailer below, which includes the debut of Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) as the voice of Portia.
The things that Brown says as talk show host and former superhero Portia in Season 2 of SuperMansion might shock people who have followed her career and on screen characters, but they won't necessarily shock anyone who knows her in real life, said the actress. Brown told reporters on a Television Critics Association 2017 winter press tour panel for the newest season of Crackle's series that her squeaky-clean on-screen persona is absolutely intentional.
Nintendo Will Show Super Mario Odyssey at E3
Nintendo has confirmed that Super Mario Odyssey will appear at E3 2017.
At the Switch reveal event in New York today, IGN asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime how they planned the news at last night’s press conference while still holding some announcements for E3. According to Fils-Aime, Nintendo considered letting attendees at today’s event try out Super Mario Odyssey, but ultimately decided to wait until June.
“The only decision that was made from an E3 consideration standpoint was ‘do we show Super Mario Odyssey from a hands-on perspective today versus E3?’ And we’re going to show it at E3,” Fils-Aime told IGN. “But at least from a Nintendo perspective, there’s no other consideration that is driven by E3.”
Nintendo Talks Voice Chat, Online Approach for Switch
Nintendo Switch will mark a fresh start for Nintendo's approach to online, and as such, the console won't support Miiverse or StreetPass.
"We need to offer, both to consumers well as to developers, a more robust set of opportunities from an online perspective and that's what we're looking to do," Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told IGN.
When asked why voice chat for Nintendo Switch will be tied to a mobile app, Reggie said, "we want to reinforce the capability to take your experience with you on the go.... The ability to do matchmaking, voice chat through your phone, it's a hell of a lot more convenient than having a gamer headset stuck into your backpack trying to do that. That's why we're doing it the way we are. We see the convenience, we see the ease of delivery. We think it's going to lead to a better experience."
Reggie Fils-Aime Hints at a Future for Metroid, Mother 3 on Switch
Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime hinted at the future of two fan favorites on Switch.
Speaking to IGN, Fils-Aime stressed the differences in the two franchises, but said Nintendo is aware of the demand from fans to see the games on Nintendo's newest console.
Calling Metroid one of Nintendo's "crown jewels," Fils-Aime said Nintendo is "committed to that franchise." He stressed Nintendo's primary concern is moving the franchise forward.
As for Mother 3, "that has a different set of complexities." Fils-Aime said even though Satoru Iwata was involved with it, "it really isn't a Nintendo-owned franchise."
Fils-Aime reiterated Nintendo is aware of conversations happening around both the Metroid franchise and Mother 3, and said "let's see where we are a year from now."

Opinion: Marvel Has a Nick Fury Problem
Marvel has quite a busy spring planned when it comes to launching new comics, one being Nick Fury, the first ongoing series to focus on elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Nick Fury, Jr. That series has a promising creative team in writer James Robinson and artist ACO. But it also faces a massive uphill battle. Five years after his debut, the younger Nick Fury still isn't the compelling character he needs to be. This is the make or break moment for Mr. Fury.

Two New Riverdale Trailers
With Riverdale's debut fast approaching on January 26th, CW is releasing even more trailers for the atmospheric new take on the world of Archie and its murder mystery scenario.
Check out two recent promos below, which include a glimpse at Stranger Things' Shannon Purser (Barb!) as Ethel Muggs and a moment where classic Archie rivals Betty (Lili Reinhart) and Veronica (Camila Mendes)... kiss?!
You can see both trailers below:
Having seen the first (very fun) four episodes of Riverdale, I will say that kiss really happens, though the context of it isn't quite what it perhaps seems in the promos.
