Mega Man 11 on Monday, December 4.

As shown in the trailer above, Mega Man 11 sticks to traditional side-scrolling action, but the visuals have been modernized for the first time. Mega Man 10, which launched in 2010, imitated the look and feel of retro Mega Man games.

The Blue Bomber won’t always be blue in his latest adventure. Mega Man will change costumes based on which powers and weapons are equipped. So far, we know from the trailer that Mega Man will have a gray costume to accompany his large cement-looking hand weapon. That weapon can drop a string of weighty boxes from the sky onto enemies below.

During the stream, Mega Man 11 was described as a “resurrection” of the storied series. If the trailer is any indication, though, the platforming sequences and epic boss battles that encapsulated the Mega Man experience will still be the driving force of this new-look take on the series. Mega Man’s main foe, Dr. Wily, will also return.

Mega Man 11 will launch in late 2018 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

While Mega Man 11 was certainly the most noteworthy reveal from the stream, Capcom sweetened the deal further. For fans of the Mega Man X games, all eight of the mainline X games will be compiled into the Mega Man X Collection. The wide-ranging collection spans 11 years worth of games, from Mega Man X for Super Nintendo to Mega Man X8 for PlayStation 2. Mega Man X Collection will be available for Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC in summer 2018.

To put the cherry on top of Mega Man’s anniversary, both of the recent Mega Man compilations will come to Nintendo Switch in 2018. Mega Man Legacy Collection compiles Mega Man through Mega Man 6, and Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 rounds off the series with Mega Man 7 through Mega Man 10. A launch window for the Switch versions of the collections was not provided but they will arrive before Mega Man 11. Both legacy collections will feature Amiibo support.

Spider-Man and Miles Morales stand in front of a Best PS5 Games 2023 logo.

With the video game industry as busy as it is these days, there's rarely ever a "bad" year for any console. Even in a less busy year, platforms like Xbox still tend to have highlights in exciting indie games. That was true for PlayStation this year, which continued its strong momentum this generation despite only having a handful of big-ticket games.

While not every big PS5 exclusive thrilled this year, there were a lot of strong experiences to dive into. Developers got more mileage than ever out of the system's beefy tech specs, while PlayStation VR2 gave the platform some creative, immersive experiences. That's not to mention a handful of indies and third-party releases that Sony locked down as console exclusives for a time. That list of heavy hitters even included Baldur's Gate 3 for a few short months. In reflecting on another great year for PS5, we've highlighted seven games that stuck with us this year. Some were certainly divisive, but all of them helped give Sony's powerhouse system some extra depth in a crowded year.

Where to find Aunt May’s grave in Spider-Man 2
Peter visiting his aunt and uncle's graves.

Peter Parker has had a hard life. He was orphaned by his parents as a child and raised by his caring Aunt May and Uncle Ben, only for Ben to be killed in an act that would shape Spider-Man's entire philosophy as a hero. Things only get worse during the events of the first act of Insomniac's Spider-Man 2 as Aunt May is tragically killed as well, leaving Peter with no more true parental figures. Peter hasn't forgotten all his caring aunt and uncle have done for him, and if you can find their gravesite, he will pay them respect, as well as earn you a Trophy. It's a big graveyard, though, and their site isn't marked on the map. Here's where Uncle Ben and Aunt May's graves are located in Spider-Man 2.
How to find Aunt May and Uncle Ben's graves

The graveyard is located at the most-northeastern point on the New York map in Harlem. If you have unlocked fast travel in this district, you can warp almost directly to the spot. Once in the graveyard, go forward down the middle into the open field. You might spot Mile's father's grave first. May and Ben's graves are directly to the right of that.
