Following the immense success of their recent Pokemon line, BlackMilk Clothing, a popular Australia-based clothing brand who collaborates with fandoms, announced the release of not one, but two licensed lines in partnership with Nintendo. BlackMilk just revealed the lookbook for their upcoming Animal Crossing line, which will be dropping next week. First teased during Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct, the Super Mario Bros. line is officially live and available for purchase. Check out the Animal Crossing x BlackMilk Collection first-look, as well as the Super Mario line below: [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=blackmilk-clothing-x-animal-crossing-and-super-mario&captions=true"] The Animal Crossing line appears to feature Nook, Isabelle, Timmy, and Tommy, along with a variety of villagers with recognizable items like flowers and fruits. The Super Mario line features Mario, Bowser, Peach, and Yoshi along with additional characters and items, on both athletic and casual designed apparel. BlackMilk's lines are generally geared toward feminine silhouettes, but some of their pieces are unisex, like their bomber jackets and shooter shirts. Pieces range in price from AUD $59 to $139. If you decide you want something from either collection, you’ll want to hurry – their initial run of the Pokemon line sold out within 15 minutes.

The dinosaurs will have to stay extinct for another year as Jurassic World: Dominion gets delayed by a year to 2022. Universal originally planned to release the Jurassic Park sequel in summer 2021. Jurassic World: Dominion was set to be released next summer, but Universal Pictures announced that it will now be released on June 10, 2022. Universal also released a new poster with the updated 2022 release date. Jurassic World: Dominion shut down production back in March because of the COVID-19 pandemic, but resumed production over the summer. Filming required strict new COVID protocols such as regular testing, temperature checks, and isolating cast members. Variety reports that Dominion is about less than a month away from wrapping. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will return for Dominion, and will be joined by original Jurassic Park stars Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Colin Trevorrow returns as director. Jurassic Park: Dominion is the latest film to be delayed as a result of the pandemic, and the slower than anticipated recovery of the theater industry, if it can recover at this point. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-delayed-movie-due-to-coronavirus-so-far&captions=true"] Warner Bros. announced The Batman will be delayed to 2022, while Dune will be pushed back to 2021.

A new study suggests that megalodons grew over time to be as big as they did due to cannibalism taking place inside their wombs. In a scientific journal from Historical Biology, as reported by Science News, a team of researchers led by paleobiologist Kenshu Shimada of DePaul University claim that cannibalism in the womb is the reason the megalodon species was so gigantic compared to other shark species. This discovery came after the team wasn't satisfied with the prevailing explanation of their size, which is that as warm-blooded sharks, their body temperature enabled them to swim faster and catch more energetic prey leading to a larger overall mass. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/07/30/scientists-revive-100-million-year-old-lifeforms-ign-now"] The warm-blooded nature of these sharks did contribute to the megalodon's gigantism, but Shimada's team believes there must have been more to it. The team published a report in 2018 about the sheer size of the megalodon tooth, which is all that researchers have to study of these sharks because the rest of their body is made of cartilage and cartilage is not nearly as resistant to the passing of time as bone or teeth. Shimada's team determined that megalodons must have been at least 14 meters long, twice as long as any other shark that isn't a filter feeder, using their fossilized teeth. Other now-extinct species that exhibited traits of gigantism like the megalodon weren't nearly as long though, only growing to be about six meters in length. It was that discrepancy between megalodons and similar species that led Shimada's team to believe there must be more to the story, and that's how the team arrived at cannibalism. Sharks reproduce through ovoviviparity, which is a reproductive method where embryos develop inside eggs and stay inside their mother's womb until they hatch. This method of reproduction is inherently cannibalistic in this species because the first baby shark, or pup, to hatch then eats the rest of the eggs in the womb in a behavior known as intrauterine cannibalism. That's why when the pup finally leaves its mother's womb, it's already grown to be quite large and capable of defending itself. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-25-best-sci-fi-movies&captions=true"] Shimada's team believes that the intrauterine cannibalism combined with the environmental conditions the species experienced, like favorable water temperatures and the availability of food, led some shark species like the megalodon to grow into such a gigantic size. Calvert Marine Museum paleontologist, Stephen Godfrey, says that still doesn't explain the greater gigantism the megalodon experienced versus other gigantic shark species though. University of Bristol paleontologist, Humberto Férron, told Science News, “In my opinion, the evolution of gigantism in megalodon was the result of a combination of factors,” he says. The reproductive strategy may have helped them grow big, endothermy would have kept them active, and abundant large prey would have kept them fed." While the megalodon species is extinct, nothing's stopping you from watching Jason Statham battle a megalodon in The Meg. You can read about why we think that movie was good in our review of The Meg.

"From Batman: The Animated Series to Teen Titans Go!, superhero storytelling has definitely been one of our superpowers here at Warner Bros. Animation," Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios President, Sam Register, said in a press release. "We are so excited to bring that expertise over to the preschool space and take something that all kids love, cool vehicles, and give it a turbo boost with Batman." Batwheels will be an "animated action-adventure comedy series" and it will air on Cartoon Network and HBO Max, according to the press release. The Batwheels are described by Warner Bros. Animation as a team of incredible crimefighters who have banded together to combat crime and evil on the streets of Gotham. The sentient vehicles will find themselves newly-created by the Batcomputer and the series will show the team "navigate the growing pains of being a newly formed super team as well as the growing pains that come with just being a kid." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/03/04/the-batmans-matt-reeves-reveals-the-new-batmobile-ign-now"] Warner Bros. Animation says the goal of the show is to thrill and entertain viewers and demonstrate to children the value of self-confidence, friendship, and teamwork. "Batwheels is the perfect show to headline our new foray into preschool," Warner Bros. Global Kids, Young Adults and Classics President, Tom Ascheim, said. "I can't wait for all the aspiring superheroes out there to meet this whole new batch of crime-fighters." Bawheels is only just now beginning production so it's unknown at this time when the show will hit HBO Max and Cartoon Network. While waiting for Batwheels to come out, check out what the Batmobile looks like in Matt Reeves' The Batman, which was recently delayed to 2022. After giving that a look, read about how that Batmobile draws inspiration from comics and TV shows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Wesley LeBlanc is a freelance news writer and guide maker for IGN.

Crash Bandicoot 4 makes the choice to return to a world map format closer to Crash Bandicoot 1 than the warp room setup of Crash 2 and 3. And while the team at Toys for Bob didn’t initially plan for it, the map actually provided the developers with a structure for how it wanted to introduce players to Crash 4’s story and difficulty. Speaking to IGN ahead of Crash 4’s launch, Toys for Bob studio co-head Paul Yan discussed the approach, as well as how the team set out to make the biggest Crash game ever. And initially, the team thought it would just continue the trend of Crash 3's warp room map, but realized how the style of Crash 1’s world map better suited their designs. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/10/01/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time-review"] “We wanted to make sure that it was a follow-up to Crash 3,” Yan said when the team approached the whole project. “Part of that was making a presumption, ‘Oh yeah. We'll just start off with the warp room format.’”

“As we went along further into our designs, we found that striking this balance between making sure the game is challenging, but also approachable and controllable was at odds with that format. We went back to that linear overworld map from Crash 1, and it gave us two really long benefits.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-crash-bandicoot-game-review&captions=true"] As Yan continued on, he noted that a balance between making the entire adventure approachable, but also delivering the difficulty players expect from the franchise, melded with the idea of physically having players walk along the game’s on-map path. “We could very specifically craft the ramp and its difficulty in the way that we onboard new abilities. We knew with high confidence that if you could overcome level two with this set of new abilities and this new locomotion trick, then you were prepared for level three, and that experience could be really highly crafted and authored, he explained before diving into the other major benefit. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/23/8-things-to-know-about-crash-bandicoot-4"] “One of our goals for this game was to make story a bigger deal, and that we would put more emphasis on the storytelling and the relationships between the characters. Having that linear format allowed us to craft that story more linearly in the way that you could present without it feeling disparate and without any sense of chronological order,” he said. And as players can experience for themselves, jumping from one level to the next on the map comes with obvious teases toward the other unlockable levels, like those Timeline adventures for other playable characters, and the flashback tape challenge chambers.
