IGN has the exclusive reveal for the new IMAX poster for the upcoming film Godzilla vs. Kong. The poster is a stylized take on these two giants facing off against one another.

Godzilla vs. Kong will hit theaters and IMAX on March 31, and to celebrate the jumbo-screened experience, IMAX is sharing this new exclusive poster here on IGN.

The premise of Godzilla vs. Kong is pretty self-explanatory. The king of Skull Island will face off against the king of monsters in this (s)mash-up of two of Warner Bros.’ and Legendary Entertainment’s biggest monsters.

Godzilla vs. Kong is directed by Adam Wingard, and members of the Godzilla: King of the Monsters cast will return, including Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, and Kyle Chandler. New cast members include Rebecca Hall as Ilene Andrews, and Lance Reddick and Jessica Henwick in unknown roles.

As previously announced, Warner Bros. is releasing its 2021 slate of movies on HBO Max the same day as theaters, so if IMAX is not an option for you, you’ll still be able to check out Godzilla vs. Kong on HBO Max on March 31.

During the 1980s, The Real Ghostbusters toy line from Kenner took ridiculous ghosts and monsters from the animated series and made them into memorable toys. Now, Hasbro is revamping some of these toys for a whole new era–and isn’t stopping with just the ghosts.

The Ghostbusters Kenner Classics line brings the iconic ECTO-1 and some of the ghosts from the series to a new generation of kids–or adults who want to relive their youth. Three new toys were announced, and you can check them all out below.

First, there’s the classic ECTO-1, which will cost $50. Based on the spectre-hunting vehicle from the animated series, the car’s tailgate opens, there’s a swivel blaster seat on the roof, and a ghost claw, so you can bust those pesky ghosts–which I heard makes you feel good. Of course, it also comes with a little ghost figure to bust.

The PlayStation 5 is the fastest-selling console in U.S. history by dollar sales, but the second best-selling hardware platform in February 2021, with Nintendo Switch continuing to lead the market.

The NPD Group released its monthly report covering best-selling consoles, video games, and more for February 2021 in the U.S. and the Nintendo Switch leads the charge as the best-selling console for the month, with the PS5 behind it in second. However, the PS5 did overtake a record previously held by the Switch when it became the fastest-selling console in U.S. history after the NPD Group tracked “total dollar sales after four months in market.”

[widget path=”global/article/imagegallery” parameters=”albumSlug=the-best-ps5-games&captions=true”]

The Switch’s unit and dollar sales last month were the highest of any hardware platform in a February since the Nintendo Wii back in February of 2009. Lifetime dollar sales of the Switch passed those of the Nintendo DS last month too, which makes the Switch the second best-selling Nintendo console in U.S. tracked history after the Wii, and the seventh best-selling overall.

Elsewhere in video game numbers, consumer spending is up in a big way. “February 2021 consumer spending across video game hardware, content, and accessories reached a February record $4.6 billion, 35% higher when compared to a year ago,” the NPD Group’s report reads. “Year-to-date spending totaled $9.3 billion, 39% higher than the same period in 2020.”

Monthly sales of hardware increased by 121% this February compared to last February for a total of $406 million, which is the highest total since February 2011 when video game spending reached $468 million.

On the software side of things, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury took first place as the best-selling game for February 2021 in the U.S., and it’s also the second best-selling game of 2021, despite a lack digital sales tracking for Nintendo games, according to the NPD Group. Little Nightmares II, which debuted in February, was the sixth best-selling game of the month, fifth best-selling game on Xbox platforms, and 10th best-selling game on PlayStation platforms.

Video game accessory spending reached $195 million in February 2021 in the U.S., which is 41% higher than last February and the PS5 DualSense controller was the accessory with the most dollar sales for the month.
