A recent major update for the enhanced version of Quake brought a number of changes to the game, including improved analog input on controllers, aim smoothing, and various other general tweaks. However, one detail that wasn't highlighted is that it's now possible to play the game using mouse and keyboard controls on consoles, including Nintendo Switch.

As tweeted by idTechpics (below), one Reddit user showed the Nintendo Switch version set up to fully support mouse and keyboard controls via the dock's USB ports. In the image the Switch is docked, with the player trading out a Pro Controller in favour of the game's original control scheme.

We've tested this ourselves with a wireless keyboard and mouse, and it works pretty seamlessly. On Switch in particular, it's an ususual feature, with very few games offering native support for keyboard and mouse (with on of the few other notable examples being Hypnospace Outlaw).

A remastered version of Quake was initially revealed back in August during QuakeCon following a leak. The game then launched the very same day for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch as well as Xbox Game Pass. As of October 12, the games have also been upgraded for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, offering 4K, 120 frames per second play.

The enhanced version of Quake comes with the game's original expansions, The Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity as well as including MachineGames' Dimension of the Past update, which was released to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary. For players looking for a new challenge, the enhanced edition also included a second expansion called Dimension of the Machine.

The original Cowboy Bebop voice actors are returning for the Japanese dub of the live-action series, which premieres on Netflix in November, just weeks after the anime joins the streamer.

Entertainment Weekly reports that Netflix has tapped the original voice cast of the beloved anime to reprise their roles for the Japanese language track of the live-action version of the show, with multiple members of the cast already confirmed, including Koichi Yamadera as the voice of Spike Spiegel, who will be portrayed on-screen by John Cho in the series.

Taiten Kusunoki will replace the late Unshō Ishizuka as the voice of Jet Black on the Japanese language dub alongside returning anime cast members Megumi Hayashibara as Faye, Norio Wakamoto as Vicious, Gara Takashima as Julia, Ken'yû Horiuchi as Gren, and Takaya Hashi as the Teddy Bomber together with Tsutomu Taruki and Miki Nagasawa as Punch and Judy.

Hikaru Midorikawa will return to voice Lin, one-half of Vicious' twin enforcers, alongside Romi Park who will step up to voice Shin, Lin's younger brother, who was voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama in the original anime. Masako Isobe is onboard as the new voice of Spike's former mentor Mao, taking the reins from Kazuaki Itō who voiced the character in the 1998 series.

Netflix recently acquired the streaming rights to the original Cowboy Bebop series, with all 26 episodes of the anime being made available on the platform from October 21. The acquisition of the series allows audiences to get acquainted with the characters ahead of the live-action adaptation, which is due out less than a month later on November 19.

The new series is developed by André Nemec, who has past experience in taking animation to live-action, having been credited as one of the writers on the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies. He previously discussed the process of adapting the original Cowboy Bebop series, assuring fans that the series will not be "violating the canon in any direction."

The 10-episode first season of Netflix's Cowboy Bebop series will debut on November 19 — and there are a few things we think the show needs to get right. Cowboy Bebop joins several other live-action adaptations in the pipeline, including a new Netflix series based on One Piece, an Akira remake from director Taika Waititi, and a reimagined version of Your Name.

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner, who ushered the company's arrival into live-action blockbusters, has died. He was 58 years old.

Hasbro made the announcement in a press release on Tuesday. Variety reports that Goldner was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2014. On Sunday, Goldner resigned from Hasbro to focus on his health.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to take a medical leave to focus on my health,” Goldner said in a statement released on Sunday, according to Variety. "I feel confident knowing the Company will be in the skilled hands of Rich Stoddart as Interim CEO, our highly experienced management team and the best employees in the business."

Goldner joined Hasbro in 2000 and became CEO in 2008. The Hasbro press release credits Goldner with broadening the company to include movies, video games, and more. The Transformers movie series is now one of the most successful franchises in box office history and the first two G.I. Joe movies were blockbusters. Even the Ouija board became a successful movie series.

Goldner also oversaw Hasbro's acquisition of eOne in 2019. Now, Hasbro gets to work with other popular properties including Peppa Pig.

Interim CEO Rich Stoddart paid tribute to Goldner and the joy he brought to so many people.

"Since joining the Company more than two decades ago, Brian has been the heart and soul of Hasbro," Stoddart said in a press release on Tuesday. "As a charismatic and passionate leader in both the play and entertainment industries, Brian’s work brought joy and laughter to children and families around the world. His visionary leadership, kindness, and generosity made him beloved by the Hasbro community and everyone he touched. On behalf of the Hasbro family, we extend our deepest, heartfelt condolences to his wife, daughter, and entire family.”

The next movie to be released based on a Hasbro property is Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in June 2022. After that, a Dungeons & Dragons movie will be released in theaters in March 2023.

Rise of the Beasts will introduce the Beast Wars to the Transformers movie franchise with Ron Perlman announced as playing Optimus Primal.

IGN recently talked to Paul Palmer, Hasbro's Star Wars brand manager, about Hasbro's big bet acquiring the rights to Star Wars: Episode I toys.

Evangeline Lilly has been playing Hope van Dyne since 2014's Ant-Man, but she says the character is still hard for her to understand.

Speaking to THR, Lilly said, "the truth is that I find it harder to know and understand Hope than any other character I’ve ever played before.”

Lilly says she wants to honor Hope in her portrayal of her, but that she's an "odd enigma" for her. According to Lilly, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is about halfway through filming, and this script has helped her get more of a grasp on the character.

"I will say that after I read the script of the film, I did have a kind of eureka moment; I said to [director Peyton Reed], 'Oh my God, I think I finally get her.' Three or four films in, I thought, 'I think I get it now'," Lilly said. "So I’m hoping that when we come to wrap and when I see the movie, I’m going to know the difference. But I don’t think anyone else will. I think I’m a good bluffer."

Hope van Dyne is introduced in Ant-Man. She has a more prominent role in the sequel where she got the second billing in the title, Ant-Man and the Wasp, and where she takes on a starring role alongside Paul Rudd. Lilly also makes appears in Avengers Endgame and voiced the character on an episode of What If...? as a variant in another universe.

Ant-Man 3 was revealed late last year, and is set to release on February 17, 2023. Before that, MCU fans can look forward to 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home and Eternals, which will have a "very big effect" on the MCU's future.

Squid Game is a bonafide global hit, and Netflix is releasing the numbers to prove it.

On Twitter, Netflix said the South Korean survival drama has officially reached 111 million people, making it the biggest launch ever for the streaming service.

Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said last month that Squid Game was already on track to become Netflix's biggest show ever, and these latest figures seem to support his claims. Just know, however, that Netflix historically counts its views as any Netflix account that watches at least 2 minutes of a series within the first 28 days after release.

The last time Netflix reported data, Bridgerton: Season 1 took the top spot with 82 million accounts tuning in. Squid Game's 111 million has smashed that total. Other shows in the top 10 that Squid Game has surpassed include The Witcher, Tiger King, Stranger Things, and more.

Squid Game's journey from script to screen was a long one, so hopefully, its creators are enjoying the success. The script for Squid Game was rejected for a decade before Netflix gave it the green light. Once it entered production, Director Hwang Dong-hyuk says he lost multiple teeth due to stress.

For more, check out our Squid Game review, where we called the show, "one of the most exciting series to hit Netflix in some time." Or, read up on Squid Game season 2, which might not focus on the contestants.
