Sixty minutes thats how long Nintendo took on Wednesday afternoon to remind us that no other video game manufacturer creates joy like this one. It was the Nintendo livestream weve been waiting for: a deep dive into the new console after so much speculation. Sure, the Switch 2 is the companys first real hardware sequel an updated and spruced-up version of its predecessor rather than a radical new piece of kit. But the updates are the intriguing part.Naturally, were getting a larger (7.9-inch, to be precise) screen that displays in full HD at 1080p; but were also getting re-thought Joy-Con controllers that now click to the console via strong magnets rather than those fiddly sliders we all put on the wrong way. The buttons are larger, too, so adults will be able to play Mario Kart with some semblance of skill. But the main new feature for the controllers is a new rollerball that enables each one to operate as a mouse. This will allow for new point-and-click features and some inte... [ more ]

Jackson backed his films, literally. And while $1,000 wouldnt dent todays box office reports, the gesture summed up Jacksons larger-than-life energy. Whether it was Pulp Fiction or Snakes on a Plane, he showed up for his work. Before becoming the legend everyone quoted, Jackson built his resume with films like Coming to America, Goodfellas, and Patriot Games. His big break exploded with Pulp Fiction in 1994.
