It's Almost Like Akira Predicted Covid-19's Impact On The Olympics

Akira certainly did predict the 2020 Tokyo Olympics 19 years ahead. The manga—created by Katsuhiko Otomo (above)—and ensuing anime are set against the backdrop of the impending 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It also appears that one panel in the manga refers to measures for combating a contagious disease.
The 12 Best Games For The Xbox One

The Xbox Series X is more or less a suped-up Xbox One, so if you’ve had trouble getting your hands on the newer machine, don’t fret. In fact, given the absence of next-gen launch exclusives, most of the best games you could play on the thing are Xbox One games, anyway. Over its seven years and three major hardware…

This Is the "V2" Nintendo Switch
This special edition of the Switch is the "V2" version of the hardware, which means it gets longer battery life than the launch Switch. It has pastel blue and green Joy-Cons. The base is cream colored and features an image of Tom, Timmy, and Tommy Nook standing on a small island in the sea.How coronavirus is affecting the next wave of 2020 blockbusters

Amazon's New Fire HD 8 Tablets Are Already $30 Off Today Only
Amazon tends to be generous with deals on its own hardware during blowout sales like Prime Day and Black Friday, so if you're interested in any of Amazon's tablet or smart devices, that's usually the best time of year to shop. However, you can get a great tablet for a steep discount in today's Deal of the Day, where the new 2020 edition of Amazon's Fire HD 8 tablet (32GB) is down to $60. That's $30 off its usual price of $90, but you've got less than 24 hours to claim it (and it may sell out before the day is over). For wireless charging and slighter better performance, you can also opt for the Fire HD 8 Plus (32GB), which is also $30 off at $80.
The Fire HD 8 tablet comes with an 8-inch HD display and is available with 32GB or 64GB of storage. The 2020 model holds up to 12 hours of battery life, features a brand-new 2.0 GHz quad-core processor, and comes with USB-C for easier, faster charging (the HD 8 Plus charges even faster). Of course, the tablet also comes with Amazon's friendly AI, Alexa, which allows you to use the tablet hands-free and can play media, answer questions, and much more.

Ring Fit Adventure is now back in stock - but probably not for long

Update: And we're back here again. Stock of Ring Fit Adventure appears to be drying up after selling out in around an hour. If any more retailers make stock available over the coming days I'll be sure to update this page.
Original Story: After weeks (months?) of zero availability, Nintendo's quirky home fitness curio Ring Fit Adventure is now starting to come back in stock.
At time of writing, Game is currently taking orders for Ring Fit Adventure at £79.99. It's unlikely to last long, so better snatch a copy quickly if you've been hankering for a home workout.

Animal Crossing Turnips Guide: Master New Horizons' Stalk Market
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has an interesting economy, to say the least. If you've been playing the game for at least a few days, you've likely sold fruit, bugs, fish, and various random items to make a quick bell. This will get you by for a bit, but you'll need to get better income sources as your house payments start to balloon and you have to make larger infrastructure improvements around town. That's where the "stalk market"-- the game's take on the stock market--comes into play. Animal Crossing: New Horizons lets you trade in a high-risk and high-reward speculation system, and with interest rates recently reduced for savings, you'll need to make the most of it.
Named for the turnips you're buying and selling, the stalk market is a finicky thing. But you can stand to make major profits if you keep an eye on Timmy and Tommy's prices and know when to sell. We've rounded up everything you need to know about Animal Crossing's turnip trade, from how to buy turnips to the types of stalk market patterns you should look out for and our best tips.
For more financial tips, check out our guide to making money in New Horizons.

Where To Buy A Switch: Nintendo Switch Still Out Out Stock
Though it's not nearly as crucial as hand sanitizer, tissues, toilet paper, and other household goods, the Nintendo Switch console is seeing a major national shortage right now, as major retailers respond to increased demand for online goods due to the coronavirus outbreak. The $300 console is seeing increased demand as more people find themselves stuck indoors and looking for a good way to play some video games.
According to Nintendo, more regular Switch consoles will be restocked soon. "Nintendo Switch hardware is selling out at various retail locations in the US, but more systems are on the way. We apologize for any inconvenience," Nintendo told GameSpot in an email statement.
It's rare to find the regular Nintendo Switch in stock right now, but we've seen it come back into stock on occasion. However, online restocks usually sell out within a minute or less. Some places, like GameStop and Best Buy, let you check availability at your local store, and if you can find it in stock, they may do curbside pickup so you don't even have to go inside. You can check the current listings and availability below. We check for availability frequently and update this story anytime we spot the Switch in stock.

This article, originally posted on March 29, 2020, has been republished to amplify black voices in GameSpot's support of Black Lives Matter. Donate to the effort to fight systemic racism here.
With the release of Guns, Love, and Tentacles: The Marriage of Wainwright & Hammerlock, the second story-focused DLC for Borderlands 3, I figured that now would be the best time to jump back into Gearbox's latest entry in its first-person loot shooter franchise, seeing as I hadn't found an opportunity to do so since writing GameSpot's Borderlands 3 review. The Borderlands franchise has typically had a decent track record when it comes to post-launch campaign expansions after all--so I figured, "Why not?"
However, I wasn't particularly enthused by my time with Guns, Love, and Tentacles, largely because Gearbox's interpretation of H.P. Lovecraft's work incorporates some of the problematic parts of the author's worldview and then does nothing to address them.
Continue Reading at GameSpotThe Nintendo Switch Is Still Sold Out; Switch Lite In Stock
The Nintendo Switch has been sold out almost everywhere online (and in-store at many popular retailers) for more than a month, even as some of its biggest games continue to gain popularity. With global supply chains reacting to the rapid spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, stock shortages of numerous goods are expected. If you've been tempted by the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you might be out of luck already, as stock of Nintendo's handheld console has become almost impossible to find beyond third-party sellers--and the prices for those are surging up to $600. According to Daniel Ahmad, a senior analyst at Niko Partners, supply won't return to normal until the "end of Q2," and we're already reaching that point rapidly. The Nintendo Switch Lite comes back in stock periodically, but those also sell out quickly, and you won't be able to connect them into a TV.
Shortages have been common for Nintendo Switch around the world, not just in Japan. Primarily due to:
- Shutdown of production during February
- Global supply chain and logistics issues.
- Gradual re-opening during March.
- Higher than expected demand due to AC/Covid-19.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons Has Afro Twists, And I Love 'Em
This article, originally posted on March 20, 2020, has been republished to amplify black voices in GameSpot's support of Black Lives Matter. Donate to the effort to fight systemic racism here.
I'm happy that Animal Crossing: New Horizons includes the option to play as a black character. I'm overjoyed the game actually gives you a decent option when it comes to giving your character a traditionally black hairstyle.
I've gotten to the point where I'm not really angry anymore whenever I see a video game character creator think that good diversity is making sure to include options for an afro or cornrows. I'm just tired of yelling about it.

Xenoblade Chronicles' Definitive Works Set Back In Stock Ahead Of Release Day
Nintendo is finally giving its heralded Wii RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles, another go on the Switch, and it's out this Friday, May 29. The Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is joined by a new 250-page art book dubbed Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Works that will be bundled with the US-exclusive $80 Definitive Works Set, which is currently back in stock at GameStop one day before release. Meanwhile, fans in the UK can grab the Collector's Set, which comes with a few more goodies.
The biggest addition to the Definitive Edition is the brand-new epilogue, Future Connected, which provides some incentive for those who have already played Monolith Soft's grand adventure to grab it again on Switch. The Switch version also includes some quality-of-life improvements, including remixed music, updated controls, and enhanced visuals. Menu screens will be more user-friendly and feature easier-to-read text, too.
Our Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition review is live now, and the game earned a 9/10 for its rewarding combat, fantastic soundtrack, and diverse, gorgeous world. "Although not every aspect of Xenoblade Chronicles has aged as well as others, Definitive Edition proves that Xenoblade Chronicles is still a fantastic JRPG with an immense amount of strategic depth that's still impressive in 2020. Its bevy of improvements and additions, as well as its fantastic epilogue, make this an adventure worth embarking on a decade later," wrote GameSpot's Jake Dekker.
(Update) Nintendo has closed all of their US repair service centers due to pandemic concerns
[Update: After closing up their US repair center program in late Match, Nintendo has announced that "some" of their repair centers are now coming back online as of May 28. The company is working on "gradually restarting services," so locations that have your items might be shipping them out soon, and you should be able to send out your broken products in the near future.]
As global pandemic concerns continue to mount, Nintendo is taking part of its operation offline this week, as they've just closed their US repair service centers.
While gaming has been a much-needed respite in this current climate the safety of employees is more important, so they're being closed until further notice. If you've already sent your hardware in or are about to, there's some things you should know first: thankfully, Nintendo has provided a helpful FAQ.
For starters, if you're sending a product now, it might be returned as "undeliverable," so don't do that. If you have a product sitting there now in a service center, it will "remain there until repair services resume." When everything goes back to normal, this page will be updated. Nintendo says repair orders will remain for "180 days," but will honor expired warranties during the closure.
It's a rough situation out there for everyone: stay safe! And hopefully, indoors.

There are a lot of different ways to make money in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and one of the best is by fishing for rare species.

The Best VR Headsets To Get For Half-Life: Alyx, Iron Man VR, And More (2020)
It's an interesting time to shop for the best VR headset. A slow start and varying approaches to virtual reality from companies like Samsung, HTC, and Google has finally given way to a more stable industry, and interest in VR gaming has spiked considerably among gamers. Half-Life: Alyx was a big reason for that, but it's not the only great VR game out there, and there are still plenty on their way. The PlayStation VR-exclusive Iron Man VR recently got a new release date of July 3, and if you're interested in snagging a PlayStation VR bundle, there are some in stock at the moment. Valve's own Index headset is accepting orders that are expected to ship in eight-weeks time, though thankfully, Oculus has also restocked its popular Quest VR headset. Oculus Quest orders will ship June 17, but be sure to act fast as quantities are limited.
Yes, the Valve Index is a popular VR headset, but it's not the only one out there. Each VR headset out there right now has unique qualities like high resolutions, AMOLED displays, or built-in speakers. Most also come with touch and motion controllers, VR headphones, and more. We know it can be an intimidating purchase if you're not already plugged into the VR gaming community. That's why we're on the case to help you figure out what the best VR headset is right for you, depending on your needs.
