Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness is a Netflix true crime documentary focusing on the bizarre world of private exotic animal collectors in the USA. It’s been keeping viewers hooked with a story that seems too insane to be true, featuring murder plots, polygamy, drugs, tiger maulings, and rich husbands mysteriously disappearing.

It’s the last of those that Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister is interested in, however. The sheriff has posted out a tweet that namechecks Netflix, the Tiger King doco, and even the COVID-19 quarantine situation for bringing the case back into the light.

The disappearance of Carole Baskin’s husband Don Lewis is the focus of the series’ third episode, The Secret (spoilers if you haven’t watched this far yet). Baskin, owner of Big Cat Rescue and nemesis of titular Tiger King Joe Exotic, inherited most of her multi-millionaire husband’s wealth when he went missing in 1997, leading many to accuse her of having a hand in his presumed death.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition is coming to Switch on May 29, complete with new story content and upgraded visuals. But while this release has the potential to be the best version of Monolith Soft’s beloved RPG, it will be missing two features introduced in the 3DS version of the game.

As spotted by Twitter user Luxin, the Japanese store page for Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition says that the “Collection Mode” and amiibo compatibility of the 3DS version will not be available in the Switch edition.

The Collection Mode allowed you to use tokens to unlock 3D models that could be viewed, as well as music from the game. Tokens could be unlocked using Streetpass tokens or with the Shulk amiibo. In fact, scanning Shulk to unlock tokens was the only amiibo functionality in the game.

While it’s not the biggest feature, it’s a shame that the game’s Definitive Edition will be missing a feature from the 3DS version, which was very good despite having to compromise on the game’s graphics.

Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition will come with new content that veteran players can access from the start. Here’s our guide for how to preorder the different regional collector’s editions.

As more and more people stay home, either voluntarily or by government order due to the COVID-19 crisis, the Xbox Live gaming network is surging in popularity. Microsoft said in a post that Xbox Live, Xbox Game Pass, and Mixer are seeing “record numbers” as people spend more time playing games while adhering to social-distancing policies.

The message, which was first reported on by VideoGamesChronicle, also states that Microsoft is making “small adjustments” to ensure a smooth experience for users during the spike in usage. One of the adjustments is the removal of the ability to upload custom gamerpics for your profile. Not only that, but you can no longer upload pictures for club backgrounds.

This change is only temporary, so these services will return at some point in the future.
