Sega Mega Drive Mini Delayed into 2019
Sega's Mega Drive Mini console has been delayed into 2019, according to a tweet by Sega's Japanese Twitter account. The Mega Drive Mini was originally planned to release in Japan this year.
The good news for classic Sega fans is that the response to the retro console's announcement earlier this year has been strong enough that Sega is now also bringing versions of it to the United States and Europe. All three regions will get the console, which will be called the Sega Genesis Mini in the U.S., at the same time thanks to a worldwide launch.
Switch Owners Can Now Play Their Games on More Than One Console
Thanks to the release of version 6.0 yesterday, Switch owners now have the ability to play their downloaded games and content on a second console. The functionality works by having users designate "primary" and "non-primary" consoles through their Nintendo Account.
If a Switch owner is without their own console but has access to someone else's, it's possible to log into their Nintendo Account on this non-primary console and play all of their digital game content on it. The catch is that users will have to maintain an internet connection while playing their owned content on any non-primary console. If the user loses their internet connection, then the game will pause "after a certain amount of time." The player can resume where their game was paused once a connection is reestablished.

PUBG Looks like It’s Finally Heading to PS4

Captain Marvel Trailer Features Iconic Secret Invasion Scene
The new trailer for Captain Marvel gives a brief look at the film’s shape-shifting villains known as the Skrulls, but if you look closely, a single shot pays homage to the aliens’ most iconic comic book story, Secret Invasion. The tale saw the Avengers learn that the Skrulls had not only infiltrated their ranks but had replaced key individuals across the entire planet, and then they were forced to fight the invaders in an epic struggle to reclaim the earth.
The whole story kicked off when Elektra was killed in battle and, to everyone’s shock, her body morphed into that of a green Skrull. The surprising moment made the remaining heroes ask themselves an unnerving question: If Elektra was replaced without anyone knowing, then who else could be a Skrull? This difficult conversation began when the Avengers' greatest scientific minds were inspecting the Skrull corpse:
