The Nintendo Switch 2 + Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Bundle drops on October 16 and costs $500 .
As the name suggests, this bundle includes a shiny new Switch 2 console and a digital copy of the enhanced version of Pokémon Legends: Z-A. The game itself will also be available on that same date .

Notice I said "enhanced version." That's because Pokémon Legends: Z-A is technically a Switch 1 game, like its predecessor Pokémon Legends: Arceus. The Switch 2 Edition will feature some nice upgrades for the new console, with the company promising "improved performance, enhanced resolution and smoother frame rates." This is all welcome news, as Arceus struggled to run properly on the now-ancient Switch 1, and who knows how the new one will perform.

For the uninitiated, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is an action role-playing game that differs a bit from the traditional Pokémon formula. The gameplay is a mix of real-time capture mechanics and old-school turn-based battles. It also looks to be set entirely in Lumiose City, making it something of a sequel to Pokémon X and Y.

This news comes from a brand-new Pokémon Presents livestream in which Game Freak unveiled footage from a new TV show by the makers of Wallace and Gromit and released a trailer for a new season of the Netflix hit Pokémon Concierge.

There was also a whole bunch of footage of Pikachu DJing for some reason. Is that electric rodent out here trying to steal thunder from K.K. Slider?

Judd Apatow Praises Viral ‘Girls' Scene Amid ‘Too Much' Buzz: Andrew Rannells Is a ‘Remarkable' Actor
'Girls' always seems to surge back into the cultural conversation, particularly since Lena Dunham's new series 'Too Much' premiered on Netflix earlier this month. In the near-decade since 'Girls' aired its HBO finale, its cast has gone on to become film and TV stalwarts. Among the most prolific, of course, is Andrew Rannells — who appeared with Dunham on 'Too Much,' giving fans the Hannah and Elijah reunion they were waiting for. 'Too Much' might've been the latest project pairing Dunham and Rannells, but it was far from the first. Actually, according to none other than Judd Apatow — 'Girls' executive producer (among other things) — we now know exactly what the first scene they shot together was… and it's a biggie. More from IndieWire Remembering Ozzy Osbourne, Rock's Prince of Darkness Who Also Created Reality TV as We Know It Marc Maron Says Jon Stewart Doesn't Like Him: 'There's No Love Here' In the scene — from way back in 2012 — Hannah and Elijah, her former college boyfriend, have a contentious (and hilarious) conversation about Elijah's sexuality, focusing on how much more queer-coded he has gotten since coming out and how he believes her father is also gay. The 'Girls Rewatch' podcast posted the scene, and it has since gone viral — so viral, in fact, that both Rannells and Apatow commented, with the latter revealing a nice nugget of trivia. 'Andrew's first day at work,' Apatow wrote. 'Remarkable. Both of them so in the pocket it's ridiculous.' Rannells meanwhile said simply, 'You all are the best.' 'Too Much' had brought Dunham renewed success. Rannells is but one of many fun guest stars and cameos littered throughout the series. At Tribeca in June, Dunham told the audience (via THR) that she 'always try to write with somebody in mind.' 'It just helps me when I'm writing, and usually it's somebody either that I admire or somebody that I already have a really great collaborative relationship with, and then you just kind of write them,' she said. 'And my goal is always: I love this person, so what is going to get them to come do a role, a couple episodes in a half-hour TV show like this?' Dunham also has the Netflix romcom 'Good Sex' on the horizon, boasting a cast that includes Natalie Portman, Meg Ryan, Mark Ruffalo, and Rashida Jones. Rannells, meanwhile, recently appeared in the horror comedy 'I Don't Understand You,' now available to stream. Dunham has also teased a possible 'Girls' revival, which you can read all about here.
