Deltarune

Deltarune is one of the most-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 launch games, and now its creator Toby Fox says it’s getting exclusive, mouse-mode-only content. This content was hinted at in the trailer, but only briefly. If you aren’t familiar with Deltarune, it’s the follow-up to the cult classic Undertale. Fox assures fans that the content will also be in other versions of the game, but it will play slightly differently due to different control schemes.

“As an effort to make the most of being a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, I really wanted to try do something special,” he writes. He says the difference in content lies in being able to use mouse controllers on both of the Joy-Cons at once. All non-Switch 2 versions of the game will have the exact same content. Before the FOMO kicks in, though, Fox goes on to say, “There is no meaningful difference in content amount, dialogue, setting, music etc between any version, so you will have a full package of fun no matter which you get! No one gets left out!”

Curious what the content might be? You can get a glimpse of it at 0:38 in the trailer below. It looks like a minigame of sorts, where the characters are firing hearts out of finger-guns. It’s a nice little perk for Switch 2 players, but a small enough addition that hardcore fans won’t feel left out.

If you have played the Nintendo Switch demo of Deltarune Chapters 1 & 2 or the full game, you’ll be able to import your save files to the Nintendo Switch 2 version.

Deltarune Chapters 1 -4 will be a day one launch title with the Nintendo Switch 2, so you don’t have to wait long before you get your hands on it. The console will be available on June 5, 2025 for $450, and Deltarune will cost $25. The game is expected to be finalized with seven chapters in total, and all upcoming chapters will be added for free for players who purchase the game.

The next Xbox Elite controller may have turned up in about the least official way imaginable. Reddit user ssuberlex, in a now deleted post, says they paid $200 on OfferUp for a mystery Xbox controller that looks like an unreleased Microsoft prototype.

Photos show a small built-in screen alongside hardware that resembles the Xbox Elite Series 3 design previously exposed through Brazilian regulatory material. The controller is also labeled as not for sale and carries placeholder regulatory information, giving the prototype explanation considerably more weight.

Limited-edition consoles usually settle for a new paint job with a new logo slapped on. But Sony is giving a little extra attention to detail to one of Marvel's most beloved characters. The company has revealed its Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 collection, headlined by a Battle Yellow PS5 Digital Edition covered in enormous claw marks that appear to tear through its outer shell and expose what lies underneath.

A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August 19.
