IGN UK Podcast #622: Sucking on Chocolate is Wonderful

It's gaming Christmas, aka The Game Awards, in which dozens of adverts for upcoming video games arrive at Geoff Keighley's awards ceremony. Cardy stayed up all night to watch them because he's mad, and so he joins Alex and Matt on this week's IGN UK podcast to talk about all the highlights. (Alex and Matt watched the trailers this morning like normal people).

In addition to discussing the likes of Star Wars: Eclipse, Alan Wake 2, Sommerville, Arc Raiders, Space Marine 2, and Suicide Squad, this week's podcast also covers the big topic of the week: Halo Infinite's campaign. Has 343 Industries finally made a campaign that lives up to the best of Bungie, or does the open world design just not suit Master Chief? We've got plenty of thoughts.

Plus, to make this episode extra special, we've got an interview with one of the finest directors in history: Mr. Steven Spielberg.

As ever, there's another edition of the Endless Search (this time it's Halo flavoured) and we respond to your feedback about replaying games and sucking on chocolate.

Want to submit your own Endless Search, food opinion, or a bit of other nonsense? Feel free to get in touch with the podcast at: ign_ukfeedback@ign.com.

Marvel’s Eternals Gets January Disney+ Streaming Date

Marvel's Eternals will begin streaming on Disney+ from January 12.

Announced by Disney today, the last Phase 4 MCU movie will arrive on the streaming platform in the new IMAX Enhanced format, which offers an expanded aspect ratio. Disney also released a new poster to celebrate the announcement:

Eternals introduced a brand new team of superheroes, as well as Deviants, Celestials, and some spoilery post-credits appearances. We awarded the movie a 7/10 review, saying it's "beautifully shot and terrifically acted, but it bites off more than it can chew in its third act."

The film has a huge cast, including Richard Madden as Ikaris, Gemma Chan as Sersi, Kumail Nanjiani as Kingo, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Lia McHugh as Sprite, Don Lee as Gilgamesh, Barry Keoghan as Druig, Angelina Jolie as Thena, and Kit Harington as Dane Whitman/Black Knight.

Despite introducing a lot that could change the MCU's course, a sequel apparently isn't a must-have.

Banjo-Kazooie Joining Nintendo Switch Online N64 Line-Up

Banjo-Kazooie will join the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack line-up of N64 games in January.

As Paper Mario joins the service today, Nintendo has announced the next retro classic to come to subscribers – Rare's 1998 3D platformer.

Rare is, of course, a Microsoft studio these days, and studio head Craig Duncan tweeted to confirm this had been a collaboration with Nintendo. "Always a pleasure to work with our good friends at Nintendo, I’m a big fan of #NintendoSwitchOnline and it’s really important to preserve classic games for future generations to play," he wrote.

Banjo-Kazooie's addition to the service will bring the total number of N64 games on Switch to 11. You can check out the full line-up below:

Banjo-Kazooie introduced the adventures of Banjo the honey bear and Kazooie the red gull in 1998 and immediately became an N64 classic. At the time we awarded it a 9.6/10 review, and we've since named it the 4th best N64 game of all time.

Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik Will Keep Hosting Jeopardy for the Next Season

Jeopardy co-hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik will continue to host the popular gameshow for the rest of its 38th season.

Both Jennings and Bialik began hosting Jeopardy back in September when the pair were announced as guest hosts.

“We are delighted to let you know our excellent and experienced team in front of and behind the camera will continue into 2022,” said the show via Twitter. “@missmayim and @kenjennings will share hosting duties through the end of #Jeopardy! Season 38, and Michael Davies will remain as executive producer.”

“We’re so pleased to have such an excellent and experienced team in front of and behind the camera as we head into 2022!” said Sony Pictures Television in an official statement.

Despite a brief stint with host Mike Richards, both Jennings and Bialik have now returned.

“Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings are outstanding hosts, and above that, outstanding people,” said executive producer, Michael Davies. “I appreciate all the support we receive from everyone at Sony Pictures Television […], the team at CBS Media Ventures and all of the stations around the country who broadcast and promote our show.”

Former Jeopardy host Mike Richards was fired after just 9 days due to claims of offensive and sexist comments made during his time on the Randumb Show podcast.

Bialik has previously said that she would love to stay on as Jeopardy host:

“Yes, I want to host Jeopardy! full-time,” she said in an interview (via USA Today). “It is a dream job," she added. “There's no other job I would rather have. I love my sitcom work, I do. I love all the other things I do. I love the podcast. But I absolutely have never had a better job.”

The search for a long-term Jeopardy host has been rather rocky since the death of former host Alex Trebeck in November 2020. However, the series has used several guests hosts, such as Aaron Rogers, Joe Buck and fan-favourite, LeVar Burton.

Jeopardy will continue its 38th season, airing new episodes until July 29, 2022.
