Star Fox is Nintendo’s next exclusive for the Switch 2, and it’s a remake of Star Fox 64 on the original Nintendo 64. Nintendo revealed the game in a surprise Star Fox Direct, which shadow-dropped without any warning on Wednesday. The game’s existence uncharacteristically leaked ahead of time last month. The game appears to retread the levels of the original but with new graphics and additional cutscenes, including mission briefings that weren’t in the N64 version. The on-rails shooter follows Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad as they fight to liberate the Lylat system from attacks by the exiled…
A few months before Elon Musk left OpenAI’s board of directors in February 2018, he tried to recruit Sam Altman to join a “world-class AI lab” within Tesla. Musk went as far as offering the OpenAI CEO a Tesla board seat, according to emails and testimony presented in federal court on Wednesday during the Musk v. Altman trial. The emails were shown to a jury during the cross examination of Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI adviser and board member who is also the mother of four of Musk’s children.Musk’s core claim in this lawsuit is that Altman and OpenAI president…
Nintendo Nintendo held a last-minute Star Fox Direct live stream on May 6 to reveal Star Fox, a remake of the N64 classic coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s due to come out on June 25, complete with new gameplay modes and online play. Star Fox features reimagined visuals and redesigned characters, and everything seems to have a touch of Fantastic Mr. Star Fox about it. Nintendo calls it “a cinematic take” in its press release, and to that end, the game features new cutscenes with full voice acting and…
Are you still recovering from the mental whiplash of Nintendo’s surprise Star Fox Direct? I certainly am. The showcase revealing that Star Fox 64 is getting remade yet again showed Nintendo remains the king of getting people buzzing about something they collectively find unimpressive. While the original is an all-time classic, nothing about the remake showed why Star Fox for the Switch 2 will be indispensable to new players or returning fans. That disappointment is offset by the irresistible urge to dissect the new hyper-realistic look of all of the characters, including furry icon Fox McCloud. Is this really the…

Samuel Boivin/Shutterstock Snap’s $400 million deal with Perplexity to put the AI search engine directly in Snapchat is dead. The two companies “amicably ended the relationship” earlier this year, Snap disclosed in its latest earnings report. The two companies first announced the partnership last November, with plans to make Perplexity’s AI search technology a prominent part of the Snapchat app. Snap said at the time that it expected to start seeing revenue from the partnership in “early 2026.” The feature began testing in Snapchat, but was never fully rolled out,…
I was just about to clock out for the day and Nintendo decided it would shadow-drop a Nintendo Direct on us at the end of random Wednesday. The 15-minute presentation was all about Star Fox. This comes just a month after Fox McCloud made a guest appearance in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, and now the anthropomorphic space pilot is finally making his long-awaited return to video games. Here’s the rundown of what was announced. The Super Mario Galaxy Movie First off, we saw the best part of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie in high quality. Fox’s intro has an anime-style…
Iryna Tolmachova/Shutterstock Philippe Dufresne, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, has found OpenAI was “not compliant with” Canadian federal and provincial privacy laws in the training of its AI models. Following an investigation, Dufresne and his counterparts in Alberta, Quebec and British Columbia say OpenAI’s approach to things like data collection and consent stepped on multiple laws, including Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which governs how companies collect and use personal information during the normal course of business. The commissioners participating in the investigation identified multiple privacy…
Meta is beefing up its age-verification mechanisms with an AI system that analyzes images and videos on Instagram and Facebook for “visual cues,” such as height and bone structure, to identify and delete accounts of users under the age of 13. The company announced the move amid a wave of cases in which hundreds of children have managed to evade social network access restrictions, even through simple tricks such as drawing on a mustache.The new approach is part of a series of measures Meta adopted as part of an AI-based security strategy designed to correct the limitations of traditional methods,…
Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were the Coke and Pepsi of fighting games in the ’90s. I don’t know why we pitched them against one another. Maybe adopting the console war language of Nintendo vs. Sega was the easiest way for young minds to analogize the differences between the Capcom fighter and its U.S.-developed counterpart. The simultaneous arrival of new Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat live-action movies has revived the feud, and the co-creator of the latter seems to think that’s just fine. One of the Street Fighter movie cast members took a shot at Mortal Kombat at the 2026…
