Sonic the Hedgehog 2 will have a presence at the Super Bowl this weekend as the movie will be debuting a new commercial. However, it appears that the advert has surfaced online early.
The first proper trailer was released during The Game Awards back in December. This commercial provides another look at the film with new scenes.

Pikmin Bloom is hosting another Community Day, this one taking place on February 19, 2022. The Community Day will last all day in the respected time zone, and special in-game bonuses will be up for grabs.
In-app bonuses:
- Big Flowers will bloom into plum blossoms when you plant regular blue, red, yellow, or white petals around them
- Players achieving the 10,000 step goal on this day will be awarded a special Plum Blossom Flower Badge
- Seedlings in your planter pack will grow at 1.5x the usual speed (and more, if you’re flower planting!)

In addition to these in-game bonuses, there will also be a real-world tie in for players that live in the United States. Pikmin Bloom is partnering with the flower subscription service BloomsyBox to give out discounted subscriptions to players that reach 10,000 steps on Community Day.

WonHobby 35 wasn’t held in person due to the ongoing pandemic, but the online event is happening today and has brought us the latest figure news.
Per usual, we have a look at brand new figures as well as ones we’ve seen previously, though in an updated form. They include a new product for Samus Aran as she appeared in Metroid Dread, a Nendoroid for Undyne, Nendoroid for Thanatos in Hades, and more.
Here’s a look at all of the various figures:
A number of new games were announced for Switch during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, including No Man’s Sky. What you might be surprised to hear is that it’s been a big passion project for developer Hello Games.
In a blog post, Hello Games managing director Sean Murray mentioned that the studio has been tinkering away on the Switch port for a “couple of years”. There were points when the team wasn’t sure if it would be possible, “only to have someone stride in the next day with a unique technical solution.” Hello Games is also “taking the time to make this feel completely at home on the device, both on the big screen, but importantly as a portable version of No Man’s Sky.”
The relevant excerpts from the blog are below:
Nippon Ichi Software has shared the latest details and screenshots for Yomawari 3 covering its various locations. The company has introduced the school, shopping district, ship, and graveyard.
Here’s the full rundown, courtesy of Gematsu:
Last April, we reported on a lawsuit Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit against Gary Bowser, an apparent leader of hacking group Team Xecuter. The company felt that Bowser infringed on the company’s copyright in creating and selling hacks, and had been pursuing two trafficking counts and one copyright violation.
A final decision has now been reached. Bowser, who was arrested in 2020, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed. This is on top of a $10 million fine he had previously agreed to pay for selling hacks.
