Wolfenstein: The New Colossus Doesn’t Have Multiplayer Because it Would “Dilute” the Story Mode
Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus has been developed without multiplayer to ensure that the storytelling is not "diluted"
In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz, MachineGames' Tommy Tordsson Bjork talked about the team's single-player focus when developing the sequel.
"The only way we can create these super immersive narrative experiences is if we can solely focus on the single-player. Having a multiplayer component in this work process would just dilute it all. That's the danger if you try to do two things at once."
Tjordsson Bjork further went on to clarify that MachineGames do not believe they are a first-person shooter developer.

GameCube Controllers Now Work With Nintendo Switch
There's been an unexpected, unmentioned addition to Nintendo Switch with its 4.0.0 update - GameCube controllers (when using the Wii U's USB adapters) now work with the system.
Twitter user Master Mewking was among the first to discover the new controller support. It's not foolproof as yet, with many users reporting that it takes multiple attempts to pair a pad - perhaps explaining why Nintendo hasn't publicised the change.
The process is, on paper, fairly simple: Make sure your Switch is set to accept wired controllers, plug the adapter in, plug the controller in, choose to pair controllers, then press L and R. Up to four GameCube controllers can be used simultaneously.
How The Gifted’s High-Stakes Episode Changes the Show
The huge turn of events in “eXit Strategy” will have serious implications for the rest of the first season of The Gifted. We hopped on the phone with showrunner Matt Nix to hear more about what tonight’s game-changing twists mean for the future of the show.
(Be sure to check out our review of The Gifted: “eXit Strategy”!)
Warning: this article contains full spoilers for The Gifted: “eXit Strategy”!
From the first episode, both the Strucker family and the mutant underground have been splintered thanks to Sentinel Services capturing both Reed and Polaris, but after tonight’s successful prison break, they’re all back together. Having every principal character in the same scene taking part in a dangerous battle filled with gunfire, explosions and mutant powers might sound more fit for a season finale than Episode 4 of 10, but Nix purposely planned it this way so that it would have an impact big enough to change the course of the show.
All the Walking Dead: Season 8 Premiere Easter Eggs
With The Walking Dead's 100th episode coinciding with its Season 8 premiere, "Mercy," EP/showrunner Scott Gimple and EP/director Greg Nicotero decided to throw in a few nods back to the very first episode, "Days Gone Bye."
The episode wasn't filled top to bottom with references, so as to not constantly pull viewers out of the story, but some of the opening sequences, in particular, were meant to pay tribute to the show's pilot. Check out the slideshow below to see all the little winks and nods contained in The Walking Dead's 100th episode.

So what did you all think? Did you spot all those moments? Were there any that you saw that we might have missed? Let us know down in the comments.
Destiny 2 Was September 2017’s Best-Selling Game
According to analysts at The NPD Group, September's best selling game was Destiny 2, followed by NBA2K18.
In only one month of sales, Destiny 2 is now the "best-selling game of 2017 year to date." NBA 2K18 is the best-selling sports game.
Interestingly, the top selling hardware unit for September wasn't the Nintendo Switch, but rather the Super NES Classic.
Switch was the top selling console for September 2017, beating out PS4 and Xbox One, but Sony led the pack in overall consumer spending tied to the PS4 platform.
Nintendo issued a statement last week ahead of the public release of NPD's sales data championing its hybrid console. Two-thirds of all hardware sales in September belonged to Nintendo.
Muppets Writer Nick Stoller Working On Dora The Explorer Movie
A movie based on the long-popular Nickelodeon series Dora the Explorer in the works thanks to Nick Stoller and Michael Bay.
Bay is producing the film, while Stoller has been brought onboard to write the script. The Hollywood Reporter's story does not indicate whether or not Stoller will direct, but, as he has experience in that area, it would not be surprising if it ended up being the case.
Dora the Explorer aired on Nickelodeon for 172 episodes from 2000 until 2014. The show focused on Dora, a seven-year-old girl who went on adventures with her monkey, Boots. She was notable for speaking in both English and Spanish at a time when that was not common on children's programming in the United States. While the show was animated, the film will be live action.
