It’s been one year since Cuphead, the beloved co-op shooter, made its way to Nintendo Switch. It was the first of two Microsoft-published games to appear on the system, the other being Ori and the Blind Forest, and it’s turned out to be an excellent fit for the system. Now, to celebrate the anniversary of its release, Cuphead has been discounted.

You can grab Cuphead on the Eshop right now for $15, with a 25% discount applied to its standard $20 price. The game has only been discounted on Switch once before, so it’s not one we see pop up regularly in Switch sales. You have until April 25 to pick it up at this reduced price.

Unfortunately, this discount seems to only apply to the US Eshop–we checked both the UK and Australian stores and found the game was still full price on each.

Following the success of director Darren Aronofsky’s Requiem for a Dream, Warner Bros. pursued him to direct a new Batman movie in the early 2000s. The movie never happened, but now, Aronofsky has shared some intriguing details about what the film might have offered, including its top talent.

The director told Empire that Warner Bros. wanted Freddie Prinze Jr. for the role of Batman, but he wanted to cast Joaquin Phoenix. This led to an impasse. “I remember thinking, ‘Uh oh, we’re making two different films here.’ That’s a true story. It was a different time. The Batman I wrote was definitely a way different type of take than they ended up making,” Aronofsky said.

Warner Bros. eventually hired Christopher Nolan to direct a new trilogy of Batman movies, with Christian Bale cast as the Caped Crusader. The movies were enormously successful, making around $2.4 billion at the global box office across three instalments: Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

Paul Haddad, the voice actor who brought Leon Kennedy to life in 1998’s Resident Evil 2, has died. The actor, aged 56, had recently posted a GoFundMe for a neurosurgery procedure, and is understood to have been ill for some time.

Haddad, a resident of Toronto, Canada, and a regular stage performer, had only credits on two other games–Hype: The Time Quest (1999) and retro throwback Daymare: 1998 (2019). The news of his passing came via the Twitter account of Invader Studios, the developer of Daymare.

In a way, this makes his performance as Leon Kennedy all the more significant–he played a lead role in one of the most important horror games ever made despite his relative obscurity, and his voice has been heard by millions of players.

You likely aren’t going outside very much right now, but when normalcy returns, you’re going to need to keep yourself dry in the rain. The Death Stranding Bridges jacket from Acronym lets you do so in style and even promises to be “Timefall-proof” in case you’re worried about rapidly aging in the water.

Selling for €1752, which is approximately $1,900, the J1A-GT Gen 2.2 official Bridges variant was designed in collaboration with Kojima Productions and its founder Hideo Kojima. It was developed using Gore-Tex Pro fabric for breathability and comfort, which should make Seinfeld’s George Costanza proud.

The jacket also features a multi-position storm collar, several pockets for storing your items from the harsh environments of post-apocalyptic America, and a storm hood with a redesigned visor compared to older models. We don’t recommend trying your luck against “BTs” with it, though.

Seinfeld’s final episode aired well over two decades ago, but it remains one of the most popular television shows in history. Its lasting pop culture presence inspired developers Jacob Janerka and Ivan Dixon to create an adventure game pitch, and it’s better than a chocolate babka.

Created as an unofficial pitch with no involvement from the show or a network, the Seinfeld Adventure introduction shows off what a classic point-and-click game would look like with Jerry, Elaine, George, Kramer, and Newman.

It would feature an inventory system that includes some of the show’s famous items, including Junior Mints candy and a black-and-white cookie, and Jerry’s apartment was faithfully recreated for the video. There’s even a marble rye loaf on his table, which he likely stole from an elderly woman on the streets of Manhattan.

Competitive gaming has changed over the last few months, with in-person events canceled, but Riot Games’ new Valorant aims to inject some new life into the scene with a high-profile event. The ESPN Esports Valorant Invitational starts tomorrow, April 20, and it includes professional players from some of the biggest games on the planet.

Streaming exclusively on Twitch beginning at 12:30 PM PT / 3:30 PM ET on April 20, the Valorant Invitational includes eight teams with players from Counter-Strike: GO, Fortnite, League of Legends, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, and Overwatch. Valorant’s own developers will also take part in the tournament.

The tournament will last until April 22, and it should be interesting to see how the different games’ professional players adapt. Most of them are shooters already, with the only exception being League of Legends, but the tactical gameplay style could give the CS:GO and Rainbow Six Siege teams an advantage.
