Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge just got a shell-shocking release date confirmed at Summer Game Fest alongside a new trailer confirming a new character and six-player co-op support. The retro beat-em-up is launching on consoles and PC next week on June 16.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge - Gameplay overview

TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge is described by its developer, Tribute Games, as a love letter to that golden age of arcade beat em’ ups and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. Like the arcade games before it, Shredder’s Revenge allows players to take the helm of the four heroes in a half shell and take on Shredder, the Foot, and other villains from the 1987 cartoon series.

The game was originally announced last year at Gamescom 2021. Dotemu is publishing the game, a studio that’s known for its critically acclaimed retro revivals. It’s best known for 2020’s Streets of Rage 4, as well as this year’s indie standout Windjammers 2.

The game leans heavily into fan service. The original turtles’ voice actors from the cartoon are reprising their roles for the game and it’ll feature classic playable characters like Master Splinter, April O’Neil, and the newest addition Casey Jones. It also is launching with both online and couch cooperative multiplayer, each supporting up to six players. Players can also experience two ways to play with not only a standard arcade mode, but a story mode, which features side-missions, more unlockable content, a level-up system, extra challenges, and collectibles.

Players can team up, order a pizza, and give a loud “cowabunga” with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge when it releases on June 16, for Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch’s weirdest launch game is getting a surprise sequel
Key art for Everybody 1-2-Switch!

Nintendo has quietly announced Everybody 1-2-Switch!, a sequel to one of the oddest launch titles for Nintendo Switch.
1-2-Switch! was a Nintendo Switch launch title that served as a tech demo of sorts for the Joy-Con controllers, with players completing minigames based on direction from actors in live-action clips. It's a very quirky and critically divisive Nintendo Switch game, so it's a bit surprising to see a follow-up. According to the eShop listing for Everybody 1-2-Switch!, this game lets players use their Joy-Cons or smartphones to complete a variety of team-based minigames. And that's about all we've seen or know about this $30 game ahead of its June 30 launch alongside some new pastel Joy-Cons.

Everybody 1-2-Switch!'s announcement was quite unorthodox for Nintendo. It simply tweeted about the game's existence and opened up preorders on the eShop. This all happened with no reveal trailer less than a month before the game's launch. It's unknown why Nintendo's taking this approach instead of including the game in a Nintendo Direct or other major showcase, but a 2022 report from Fanbyte may reveal the answer. According to that report, Everybody 1-2-Switch! tested horribly, and Nintendo worried that the game could "damage the company’s reputation as a great software developer." 
Almost a year after that report, it seems that the game has improved enough to release, or maybe Nintendo is just willing to take the hit after the impressive launch and critical reception of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Either way, this is a weird sequel to a weird Nintendo Switch launch game that's being mutedly marketed so it doesn't elicit much hype. We'll just have to wait and play it for ourselves if we want to know whether Everybody 1-2-Switch! is an enjoyable game or not.
Everybody 1-2-Switch! will be released physically and digitally for Nintendo Switch on June 30.

While that's great, you will likely want to play with your friends first and foremost. Here's how you can form your ideal party of champions with friends in Diablo 4.

How to change your title in Diablo 4

Despite creating a custom character, and even giving them a name, in Diablo 4, you are really only referred to as Wanderer during the game itself. Your name does appear to other players, however, as well as something called a Title. These are comprised of two words that add a little flavor and personality to you character. The thing is, even as you unlock more options as you play, the game doesn't give you much of a tutorial in how to customize it. Rather than walk around with your default Title for the entire game, spice things up by learning how to change your Title in Diablo 4,
