Target, Bethesda, and Soda Jones partner to create Nuka Cola Quantum

Bethesda is bringing one of its most iconic drinks from the Fallout series, Nuka Cola Quantum, into the real world, minus the radiation and AP points.

For Fallout 3 completionists, we don’t need to explain Nuka Cola Quantum. There is a whole mission in the game dedicated to finding 30 bottles of the bright-blue drink in the Capital Wasteland for Nuka Cola’s number one fan, Sierra Petrovita.

North American soft drink company Soda Jones will be making the Nuka Cola Quantum, which goes on sale exclusively in Target stores. Fallout 4 will also be available on that date, giving you the perfect excuse to buy it on day one and not feel like you’re making a bad decision.

Soda Jones offers a Berry Lemonade drink that has the same color as Nuka Cola Quantum. Even though it hasn’t been confirmed, we suspect it is a repackage, though like Carlsberg UK’s Fallout Beer, we expect it will be much more expensive.

With all of these promotions for Fallout 4, it is only a matter of time before Kellogg’s announces plans to stock Sugar Bombs as a cereal or OxiClean reveals plans to stock Abraxo Cleaner. Heck, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see a miniature Mister Handy robot drone, considering there is already a BB-8 miniature droid available.

Bethesda confirmed last week that Fallout 4 development has finished, and the studio is now working on final bug fixes before launch. A season pass is already available for $30, despite the lack of a release of information on how many DLC packages to expect.

What we do know is that Fallout 4 will be much bigger than Fallout 3 and New Vegas, will feature new crafting options for homes and weapons, and both PC and Xbox One buyers will receive mod support. Most of the trailers for the game seem to point to a more open and fun world compared to previous installments, which were devoid of a strong main story line.

Minecraft Legends Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch is 50% off today

Whether you've just purchased the Nintendo Switch or you've had it since day one, you should always be on the lookout for video game deals that will expand your collection of titles for the console. Here's an offer from Amazon's Woot that you should consider -- Minecraft Legends Deluxe Edition at half-price, following a $25 discount on its original price of $50. You'll have to hurry if you want to get this game for just $25 though, as there's a chance that it gets sold out sooner than you think.

Why you should buy Minecraft Legends Deluxe Edition for Nintendo Switch
Minecraft, one of the bestselling video games of all time, is an action-adventure sandbox game where players can explore a limitless world and build to their heart's content. Minecraft Legends is a spinoff real-time strategy game where you'll command minions to attack the outposts of Piglins, which invaded the Overworld, and create defenses to protect villages. You'll have to gather resources from the game's procedurally generated open world in order to build structures and make upgrades, and you'll need to recruit Minecraft favorites like Golems, Skeletons, Creepers, and Zombies to help in your fight to save the Overworld from the invaders. You can also play the multiplayer modes of Minecraft Legends with your friends if you want a faster version of the campaign mode, though it's recommended that you master the mechanics first before jumping into them.

WarioWare: Move It! let me control Mario 3’s Tanooki suit with my butt

Wario and his friends appear in WarioWare: Move It! key art.

When I first saw WarioWare: Move It! On a Nintendo Direct, I almost forgot it wasn’t the series’ first entry on Nintendo Switch. Just two years ago, WarioWare: Get It Together! brought the eclectic microgame collection back from obscurity, but it didn’t leave too much of an imprint. In my review at the time, I chalked that up to the entry’s lack of a good central gimmick. The series’ best entries, like the Nintendo Wii’s standout Smooth Moves, have always been tied to some sort of tech twist that makes for wildly creative, goofy experiences. Get It Together simply didn’t have that spark.

So in some ways, Move It really does feel like the series’ first true Switch entry. Unlike its predecessor, it takes full advantage of the console’s Joy-cons and its underutilized features. On paper, it sounded like a direct response to every issue I had with Get It Together -- and it is in practice too. I went hands-on with WarioWare: Move It! ahead of its November 3 release and found a return to form for one of Nintendo’s wackiest series. If you love wiggling your butt, you’ll be happy to know that the microgame collection delivers.
I like to move it, move it
I’d get to try three specific pieces of Move It during my demo. That would include a quick glimpse of story mode, which sets the beachside tone of the adventure. Wario and his gang go on vacation, things go wrong, and microgame gauntlets ensue. It’s the same structure as a lot of previous WarioWare games, as each level centers around one character and a certain Joy-con pose that players (it can be played cooperatively) hold to complete 5-second minigames.
