Ninja Gaiden Legitimized the American Xbox Console for Japanese Developers

Itagaki-san had squeezed every bit of power and performance out of Microsoft’s fledgling console, and the result was what some people believe – including me and, more importantly, our resident action-game aficionado Mitchell Saltzman – is the single greatest pure action game ever made. You talk about aging well? It wasn’t just the combat, the precision controls, and the replayability that still hold up today. It’s all of that, but Ninja Gaiden even had native widescreen support back in 2004! When nobody had widescreen displays yet! We were all still on chonky 4:3 CRTs.

A capable little controller that lets you offer a helping hand.

Jsaux is launching the S1 Pro, a small $49.99 wireless controller that can wake the Switch 2, and connect to various other platforms via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, or USB-C. It features Switch-like TMR sticks, gyro controls, and adjustable trigger throw distances. But its marquee feature is that it lets you connect two S1 Pros to a single 2.4GHz transmitter, and swap player assignments in local multiplayer games at will, so player two can jump in to help with a difficult part.

More buttons for the original Switch Pro controller.

Jsaux has launched the Elite Extender, a $39.99 accessory for the original Nintendo Switch Pro controller that reminds me a bit of Sony’s Back Button Attachment for the PS4. It adds up to four mappable buttons for your most frequently-used buttons or for macros. The accessory boasts a 1,800mAh battery, though the host controller’s Amiibo functionality won’t work while it’s attached.

Lanterns, LEGO and Unstoppable Killing Machines | IGN's Watch List - IGN

Kenneth Branagh adds "ass-kicker" to his resume right underneath "Shakespeare guy" when he co-stars with Ryan Reynolds in Mayday, plus Lanterns drops a great mid-season flashback episode to highlight John Stewart's origin story. Meanwhile, Glen Powell comes back to Hulu, LEGO takes on The Mandalorian and Grogu, but the coolest thing this week might be Adam Wingard's return small scale violence with Onslaught. This is IGN's Watch List for the first week of September, 2026.

NBA 2K27 is the first game brave enough to ship with DLSS 5 faces.

Probably a smart idea to see how gamers react first? These do look better than before.

Afterworld: The First Hands-On Preview: A (Probably Too Early) Taste of Paradox’s Next Big Thing

Typical for a Paradox game, Afterworld contains systems upon systems upon systems. It would be impossible to cover them all in the scope of this preview, from sending ranger teams into devastated cities to recover old-world tech, to equipping armies with bikes and dune buggies to bring road war to the wasteland while having to maintain supply lines for fuel and ammo. It's a lot to come to grips with and, like I said, in need of a lot of polish and balancing.
