Patapon 1 + 2 Replay brings two PSP classics to PC, PS5 and Switch on July 11
A pair of cult classics from Sony's PlayStation Portable library are heading to Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 and PC. As part of the Nintendo Direct showcase this March, Bandai Namco announced Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, a package that brings together brand new remasters of 2007's Patapon and 2008's Patapon 2. Originally developed by Pyramid and Sony Japan Studio, which shuttered in 2021, the two games combine elements from strategy and rhythm games. As the player, you must guide a tribe of anthropomorphic eyeballs to victory over their foes through a combination of drum beats. Patapon and Patapon 2 were well-received on release and went on to define the PSP's library of quirky but fun games. In addition to HD graphics, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay includes quality of life changes that should hopefully make this the best way to play these two gems. Update, March 31, 1:15PM ET: Bandai Namco confirmed that Patapon 1 + 2 Replay is coming to PS5 and PC as well as Switch, and this information has been included in the article.

Netflix subscribers can catch up on this hit crime drama, ahead of the release of its anticipated third season
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. One of the biggest TV shows landing in March 2025 is set to be Gangs of London season 3, which is set to premiere on Sky TV on Thursday, March 20. The show has a great reputation, but if you've yet to pick up a Sky TV deal or try out AMC Plus, you may still be wondering what the big deal is. However if you subscribe to Netflix you can find out, because the first two seasons of this hit crime drama are both available to watch on the world's biggest streaming service. That's true both in the UK and the US, though in the latter, please disregard our comment on the release date: there's not been any news about when Gangs of London season 3 will come out States-side. Gangs of London depicts the various gangs of London, who are thrown into disarray when the head of the biggest crime family is assassinated. We see the power struggles that ensue as the son of the leader tries to find the culprit, and police see their opportunity to infiltrate the network. The show was a hit, with an overall Rotten Tomatoes rating of 86% (91% for its first season). Particular praise went to the action sequences, which are some of the most creative and dramatic ever put to TV. Many are surprised to learn that Gangs of London was based on a little-known 2006 video game for the PSP (that's PlayStation Portable, for you non-gamers), though by now the TV show has far surpassed its source material. Gangs of London originally aired on Sky TV in the UK and AMC Plus in the US (I'd wager that season 3 will end up there eventually). Given that Netflix is the ubiquitous streaming service and both Sky TV and AMC Plus are smaller ones, there's a good chance that you've missed Gangs of London so far, but now's your chance to catch up. If you find yourself liking Gangs of London, then it could even be worth signing up for Sky TV or AMC Plus to see the newest season; alongside The Studio it's one of the biggest new TV shows coming this month, and sometimes it's worth paying for good TV! For more information, check out our guide to Gangs of London season 3 and take a read through the Sky TV deals that are available right now which might make the prices more tempting.
