In a move that's going to have them receiving curses from a very vocal minority of people, Nintendo's now going to profit from user-generated videos that people upload to YouTube. As in, all those really sweet Let's Play videos that people upload to show off their wicked skills? Yeah, Nintendo's going to get the whole pie on that, not just a slice.

Batman: Arkham Origins is set to launch October 25th, 2013, and this recently dropped teaser shows off some impressive CG, a grizzled Batman, and a really, really cool take on Deathstroke. Between you and me, Deathstroke's definitely in my top five when it comes to DC, so I'm pretty excited that he's been getting a lot of love lately. Young Justice, Arrow, and even his own ongoing for a bit there in the New 52 come to mind. This teaser him battling with a younger Batman is just gravy.

Like so many of you, I've lost count of the nights I've found myself sleepless, lost in thought, wondering if the universe will ever see fit to grace our small, grey lives with a follow-up to Shaq-Fu. Well, that which we didn't dare dream has come to pass, brothers and sisters. Shaquille O'Neal's media company, Mine O'Mine, has registered the trademark for a little something called "Shaqfighter." Let us give thanks.

Well, folks, EA's finally gone and dropped their Online Pass program. In case you weren't aware that this was a thing, the publisher was essentially holding multiplayer and similar video game features behind a gate that was meant to help promote anything but used game sales. That's dead and gone, at least going forward. That said, the fact that EA's officially discontinued the Online Pass so close to Microsoft's next-gen console reveal is worrisome.

You may recall a certain Pikachu-branded Nintendo 3DS XL that hit North America earlier this year. I say "you may recall," because it's highly unlikely that you actually got your hands on one. As if taking this scarcity as a challenge, Nintendo's going to release an Eevee-branded 3DS XL that's even more limited. Like, you enter a lottery for the chance to even buy one. Yeah, that kind of limited.

Only a few months 'til Magic 2014 hits the shelves on July 19th, and you know what that means: Spoiler season is officially under way, and have we got a hydra for you!

The Nintendo DS and 3DS game from WayForward, Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd You Steal Our Garbage?!!, was a bit slapdash, but overall entirely adorable. Short, sure, but fun. Cartoon Network and D3Publisher apparently heard the call for a longer, more expansive game, because it's been announced that WayForward is now developing Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON'T KNOW! for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, and once again the Nintendo 3DS. Yeah, that's a thing that's happening.

In case you weren't already a bit skint thanks to saving for the inevitable Sony/Microsoft console war that looks like might go down this holiday season, Nvidia's hoping you might want an Android-powered handheld. The Shield, previous Project Shield, is set to ship in June for price of $349. If that seems a bit much to you, you're not alone. We like to see new handhelds as much as the next person, but this seems like poor timing.

If you have a few minutes to kill, might we suggest typing "Atari Breakout" into Google Image Search? It will return images of the classic game, but after a few seconds those images will change into blocks, and your computer will beep and boop at you as the screen is transformed into the Atari classic Breakout. Google doesn't want anyone getting any work done today.

Today in Things You Probably Never Thought You'd See in Your Lifetime, we present to you this: A Pokémon ballet. No, this is not a joke. I repeat, this is not a joke. This was actually performed at Creighton Lied Arts Center with choreography by Andrew Plotner. They even used music from the Pokémon Reorchestrated: Kanto Symphony by skotein. It's totally legit, and honestly kind of great.

The good news for everyone still playing Half-Life 2 because Half-Life 3 hasn't come out? You'll have a whole new way to play the game soon, as Freeman and friends are coming to play on the Oculus Rift headset, with a beta version already available for developers. The bad news, of course, is that this is not Half-Life 3.

Brothers fight, sure, but some brothers have more to fight about than others. As far as family issues, go, Mario and Luigi probably have their fair share. They're always trying to grab the same power-ups, battle the same villains, and, of course, save the same Princess. Sometimes, it's bound to feel like the Mushroom Kingdom just isn't big enough for two Mario Brothers. In the latest episode of their new webseries Shrinkage, SCTV takes a look at the emotional toll their decades long rivalry has taken on these two noble plumbers, and it's pretty entertaining.

I don't want to alarm you, but there's a new Humble Bundle out there, and it might just be my favorite one yet. The Humble Double Fine Bundle, like all previous Humble Bundles, let's you pay what you want for a series of tremendous games. The actual offering is a bit small compared to other versions, but saying no to Costume Quest, Stacking, and Psychonauts on the cheap is just about impossible.

If you love games where you pretend to kill your friends and strangers over the Internet, then you're probably down with EA's Battlefield series. Battlefield 4 is coming out this Fall, but EA has plans for even more sequels to the game. Kind of a lot of them, in fact.  They recently registered Battlefield domains ending in numbers 13-20, so gaming site Rock Paper Shotgun did them exactly one better and registered Battlefield21.com.

Earlier this morning Wizards of the Coast started dropping hints about clicking, cracks and snaps, a Moggling game, and a mysterious pulse. Punching these each into Gatherer reveals, you guessed it, some classic slivers. It wasn't soon after the slivers were out of the bag that the first official Magic 2014 spoilers were released: We've got six new slivers coming, but with two huge changes.
