Did Kylo Ren Try to Kill Luke?
"I've seen this raw strength only once before. It didn't scare me enough then. It does now."
When Luke Skywalker utters the above line in the new trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, director Rian Johnson trains his camera on two different things -- the "present day" where an aged Luke is clearly frightened by this strength he mentions, and the past where he falls to his knees, no doubt in horror, watching his new Jedi Academy burn. This is, of course, a return to the flashback of carnage glimpsed oh so briefly in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but this time around Johnson appears to be offering us a new clue about that event as well: It seems Kylo Ren also tried to murder Luke during that attack.
Tamagotchi Is Returning With a 20th Anniversary Line
It's time to hatch, feed, and clean-up after your virtual pets yet again — Tamagotchi is back in honor of the toy's 20th anniversary.
Bandai America has officially announced that a new set of Tamagotchi toys — smaller at about 60 percent the size of the toys you may remember playing with in the '90s — will be available in limited qualities on November 5 for $14.99. Check out the device below.
Yes, the new Tamagotchi looks very much like the original, including the device's egg shape, with six different designs pulled from the original Japanese launch. To further evoke nostalgia, the original Tamagtochi's packaging design has been replicated for the new line, and the toys themselves feature the original characters players could care for from the original game.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Trailer Brings First Official Glimpse of Snoke
Today’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi has brought with it the first proper glimpse of Andy Serkis’ mysterious villain, Supreme Leader Snoke.
Snoke appeared in 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens as an immense hologram, and we’ve since seen his likeness revealed via a figurine and a set of official Star Wars postage stamps and trading cards, but this marks the first time we’ve officially seen the real, horribly-disfigured Snoke in action, albeit briefly.

Stardew Valley Creator Discusses Next Game
In a Reddit AMA, Eric Barone, creator of Stardew Valley, discussed his thoughts on his next project and how he's learned from Stardew's development.
Although he confirmed that he had plans for his next game in the AMA, Barone was initially hesitant to discuss future projects because "creating hype too far in advance is a lot of pressure, and ultimately I don't think it benefits anyone. I prefer to work in an isolated bubble."
But Barone said he is approaching the next project "with a similar mindset to Stardew Valley — take a style of game that was never fully realized (or that changed trajectories, leaving unexplored possibilities), and carry on the tradition in my own weird way. "
How Lessons From the Wii U Affected the Nintendo Switch
Nintendo has discussed lessons learned from the Wii U and how these lessons were applied in order to make the Nintendo Switch as successful as it has been since its launch.
Nintendo of America senior product marketing manager Bill Trinen told Business Insider the ease of simply jumping into the Switch experience has been a huge step up from the Wii U.
“If you look at the Wii U hardware system, just the system menu itself — the time that it took to boot that system up, to get into gameplay — was something that was a frustration for a lot of players early on, and actually became a hindrance,” Trinen said.
