‘Super Robot Wars Y' Brings Back Some Fan Favorites With New DLC
Specifically, the first DLC pack contains Galaxy Cyclone Braiger, The Big O, and Fuuto PI: The Portrait of Kamen Rider Skull.
Whereas the second DLC pack includes Kotetsu Jeeg, Getter Robo: The Jet-Black Drifter, and The Brave of Legend Da-Garn.
The big surprise is Kamen Rider, but I'm all for it. Some people don't think that live-action tokusatsu shows count as mecha, but I've been a big fan of Juspion for years, and that has the mighty Daileon as the main hero's spaceship that transforms into a giant robot.
That aside, having classics like Braiger and Jeeg is also great. The last time I remember seeing Jeeg in a Super Robot Wars game was Alpha 3, which really needs a modern HD remaster.
Then there's The Big O, which was a big part of the Super Robot Wars Z games, and is just a really cool series all around anyway.

In any case, these DLC series additions to Super Robot Wars Y are great, and I can't wait to play the game with them and upgrade them into unstoppable machines of destruction.
Super Robot Wars Y is released on August 28 for Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.

Labubu could make $1 billion this year
Labubu is a plush monster toy, but it's also on track to be a billion-dollar business. This week, Labubu-maker Pop Mart released its financial results for the first half of 2025, giving the public more insight into just how rabid the world is for this plush monster toy. Pop Mart's Monsters series, which includes Labubu, generated around $670 million in revenue in the first half of the year, putting it on track to earn over $1 billion by the year's end. That's a 688% increase year-over-year, even eclipsing the sales of Mattel toys like Barbie and Hot Wheels. Sold in a mystery 'blind box' format, these toys — sold by Chinese company Pop Mart — blew up in popularity internationally when BLACKPINK member Lisa confessed her obsession with the ugly-cute creatures. Then, celebrities like Cher, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Marc Jacobs and others were spotted with Labubu toys, which sometimes hang off of their designer bags as keychains. These ten-year-old, mythologically-inspired characters have now become as popular an accessory as a Telfar bag in 2020, and they're just as hard to get your hands on.

The ‘Shin Godzilla' Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release
While we wait for news on what's to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One's massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho's prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi's Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie's extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering. Today GKids announced that its theatrical distribution of Shin Godzilla would extend to the end of the month for a limited-time engagement screening of Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic. Released in Japan in 2023 as part of a select theatrical re-release of Godzilla films curated by Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki to celebrate Godzilla's 70th anniversary, ORTHOchromatic was conceived by Anno and Higuchi, with the latter working with associate director Katsuro Onoue on its production. The name is derived from the inspiration for the variety of monochrome film it is taken from, in contrast to panchromatic black and white film, leading to starker contrast and deeper black levels. Although released on physical media in Japan last year, the new release marks the first time ORTHOchromatic has ever received a nationwide theatrical release in the U.S. The pattern of release follows Minus One's own theatrical run stateside as well. After the movie broke records and extended its theatrical run well beyond Toho's original plans, Minus One returned to theaters in early 2024 with Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, its own specially made black-and-white release. Tickets for Shin Godzilla: ORTHOchromatic are on sale now, ahead of screenings taking place nationwide on August 31. Want more io9 news?

Colin Farrell Spirals in Trailer for Netflix's Psychological Thriller BALLAD OF A SMALL PLAYER — GeekTyrant
Netflix has released the first trailer for Edward Berger's Ballad of a Small Playe r , a psychological thriller led by Colin Farrell. The film follows Farrell as Lord Doyle, 'a man who spends all day and night on the casino floors of Macau. As he struggles to keep up with his debts, Fala Chen's Dao Ming, a casino employee, surfaces to save him. 'Meanwhile, Tilda Swinton plays a private investigator named Cynthia Blithe who is hot on his trail and ready to confront him about his past.' This looks like a good and intense film, and it's based on Lawrence Osborne's novel, with a screenplay adapted by Rowan Joffe ( 28 Weeks Later ). Berger, fresh off his Oscar-winning All Quiet on the Western Front and his recent success with Conclave , reunites with several members of his crew to tell this story. His track record with tense, layered storytelling sets high expectations for this new entry, which dives into addiction, deception, and the dangerous allure of survival at any cost. Farrell continues his strong run after earning his first Emmy nomination for The Penguin . Ballad of a Small Player is set for a prime rollout, hitting U.S. theaters on October 15, opening in U.K. and Ireland cinemas on October 17, and arriving on Netflix worldwide October 29.
