With so many new games and movies coming out, it can be hard to keep up. Lucky for you, IGN is here to help with a weekly round-up of the biggest releases each and every week. Check out the latest releases for this week, and be sure to come back next Monday for a new update.
Note: The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
Ranking the Mega Man Games
With Mega Man Legacy Collection now out on the 3DS, we thought it would be fun to give the series another careful look and decide just which of these terrific platformers ranks highest in our esteem. It's a daunting task. All of these games are good, and several are spectacular. We revisited all ten main-series Mega Man games and carefully picked our favorites.
Before we jump in, a quick word on our process and criteria. This list was selected by a panel of IGN's Mega Man experts. Only the 10 core Mega Man games were included for consideration. Ranking criteria included level variety, overall production quality, music, boss battles, and Mega Man's abilities.
New Powerpuff Girls Clip: Buttercup vs. Lava Lady
IGN has an exclusive new clip from Cartoon Network's upcoming reboot of The Powerpuff Girls (debuting this April), as Buttercup takes on a new fiery foe. Check it out:
The revamped animated series follows the original trio of super-powered sisters whose mission in life alternates between fighting crime and going to school. Amanda Leighton, Kristen Li and Natalie Palamides voice Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, respectively, while Tom Kenny returns to voice the Narrator/Mayor.
Nick Jennings (Adventure Time) and Bob Boyle (Wow! Wow! Wubzy!) are executive producing the new show.
The original Powerpuff Girls aired in 1998 and went on to earn two Emmys over the course of its 78-episode run. It also spawned a 2003 movie, a 10th anniversary special and a reimagined CG special that aired in 2013.
No Season 2 for Amazon’s Mad Dogs
Executive producer Shawn Ryan has announced the Amazon show Mad Dogs will not be getting any more episodes.
Ryan took to Twitter on February 28 to let fans know the reason behind the decision.
"Some Amazon employees told me that Mad Dogs, after only four weeks, already had better streaming stats than many other Amazon shows," said Ryan. "...That said, Mad Dogs was originally intended to be a closed 10 episode limited series."
"Many critics pointed out that this wasn’t the kind of concept destined for an extended multi-season run, and that’s right. But in order to get Season 1 made Amazon wanted to know that future seasons might be possible," Ryan continued.
Get Prepped for Gotham’s Return Tonight
IGN has the exclusive debut of the complete Gotham Stories, the new motion comic from FOX, Warner Bros. TV and DC Entertainment that bridges the first and second halves of Gotham: Season 2.
If you've missed the previous installments, you'll see the entire story here, as new player in town Mr. Freeze confronts Penguin, leading Oswald to turn to an unlikely place for help. Check out how the tale ends, leading into Monday night's Gotham midseason premiere.
The storyline for Gotham Stories was outlined by Gotham Producer/Writer Rebecca Cutter and Senior Writer/Producer, FOX On-Air Promo Creative, Bart Montgomery, with a script by Tony Bedard and artwork by Matt Haley. The series is produced by VP, FOX On-Air Promo Creative, Julio Cabral.
Fallout Shelter Update Adds Crafting
Bethesda's new Fallout Shelter update will introduce crafting to the mobile game.
Along with adding the ability to "turn worthless junk into useful items," Bethesda will also add new rooms for weapon and armor crafting, new outfits, and more pets. New dogs and cats will come with the latest update, as will parrots. Update 1.4 also will add pet bonuses.
Outfits and weapons "straight from Fallout 4" can be found in lunchboxes. Alternatively, players will be able to craft these items themselves. With the new Barbershop, players will be able to customize any Dweller's look.
Walking Dead EP Calls Negan “One of the Greatest Villains Ever Created in TV”
Full spoilers for The Walking Dead TV show to date continue below.
Negan is coming, and the characters on The Walking Dead probably aren't ready. During their visit to Hilltop, Rick & Co. clearly viewed the mysterious Negan as no bigger threat than the villains they've faced in the past, but little do they know just how dangerous he actually is.
The Walking Dead comics reader do know, however, and most TV watchers probably have some sense that Negan is a big deal. For those who don't know, executive producer David Alpert is hoping "Knots Untie" sparks some discussions.
"We want
to get into conversations with their friends like, ah, that's nothing, and the friends who have read the comics be like, 'Oh, you just don't know. You just don't know,'" he told IGN with a laugh.
Watch Jimmy Kimmel Bust Batman and Superman in ‘Deleted Scene’
Sadly for Jimmy Kimmel, his "scene" in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been cut from the final movie.
Co-star of the movie Ben Affleck told Jimmy the reason behind the decision on Kimmel's After The Oscars special, saying "the filmmakers had to make a tough choice," and "the movie was a hair long." Affleck did bring a clip, though, which you can check out below.
Kimmel manages to do what no one else in Gotham has ever done before: reveal Superman and Batman's true identities.
Batman v Superman is set for release in theaters on March 25. A one-off Dawn of Justice prequel comic is coming today if you can't wait that long.
