RELATED: Metroid Dread: How to Beat the Raven Beak Final Boss in Itorash Artaria, which is the first region that players will explore in Metroid Dread, contains 29 of these tanks, though not all of them are accessible right away. By the time players have found the Screw Attack, however, they’ll be able to increase their maximum health by two and a half tanks, carry an additional 64 missiles, and hold one more Power Bomb than they’d otherwise be able to....

For most Metroid fans, this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as “hard mode” has been included in most games in the series, but as Metroid Dread is the first proper title in four years, newcomers might have been surprised to see that the game offered an even more formidable challenge. The game is already plenty tough, but the Metroid community has been doing speed runs and challenging “no damage” runs on the franchise’s various hard modes for years, so it’s good to see that Dread is continuing the tradition of including the mode....

One weapon, however, may be a source of dread rather than wonder. The Ice Beam and Ice Missiles have been a staple in the Metroid series for a long time, being more useful as a utility power-up that creates platforms out of enemies than as weapons. However, thanks to story developments in Metroid Fusion, these ice weapons now serve a very different role in Metroid’s gameplay. Players will need to watch out for their appearance, as they will likely mark a dramatic turning point in Metroid Dread’s action....

Metroid Prime 4 was, at first, reportedly in development by Bandai Namco Studios of Japan and Singapore, not Retro Studios. But, after a silent 2018, Nintendo announced that the development of Metroid Prime 4 had been restarted under Retro Studios—the creator of the previous games.

Confirmation of The Witcher 4 took the gaming world by surprise when CDPR posted a teaser for the game on Twitter last month. The hype that ensued speaks to the love players have for that franchise, especially considering how few details were provided. From what is known though, it seems the series is moving in the right direction; Witcher 4 will be made in Unreal Engine 5, it won’t be an Epic Games Store exclusive, and it will mark the beginning of a new saga....

Specifically, Mark Capers and James Beech are now set to call Retro Studios their home, and some fans will certainly be familiar with their previous work. With respect to Capers, he most recently served as a designer on Playful Studios’ 3D platformer New Super Lucky’s Tale, and he also acted as a designer on Epic Mickey and Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

To win the Presidents’ Trophy is both a blessing and a curse. Just ask the Capitals. A meaningless honor, outside ensuring home-ice advantage throughout the playoffs, the regular season champion is historically almost equally likely to exit in the first round as they are to win the Stanley Cup. So the Penguins likely are reluctant recipients of this award, keeping it in the Metro for a fourth consecutive season....

Cespedes homered in Friday’s win over the Yankees, his first game since May 13 after two months on the disabled list caused by with a strained right hip flexor. The 32-year-old, a two-time All-Star, revealed after the game that calcification on his heels has bothered him for 15 years and caused the lower body injuries that have limited him to 119 games in 1 1/2 seasons since he signed a $110 million, four-year contract....

The 26-year-old right-hander threw nine scoreless innings and allowed just four hits while striking out 10 in the Mets’ 1-0 win over the Reds at Citi Field. He also drove in the only run with a homer over the left-field fence in the third inning.

The Mets first baseman hit his 52nd home run Friday against the Braves at Citi Field, tying the MLB rookie record set by the Yankees’ Aaron Judge in 2017. Alonso described the achievement as “unbelievable” following his team’s 4-2 victory. “When I was rounding the bases, I felt like a little kid,” Alonso Pete Alonso says he felt like a Little Leaguer rounding the bases after his record-tying homer.This is an interview with a happy, happy dude: pic....

That’s thanks in part to a recent hot streak by the Phillies, who have won six straight and 11 of their last 12. The team has also gone 39-19 since Rob Thomson replaced Joe Girardi as manager in June. Philadelphia, despite being 10 games behind the division-leading Mets, has command of the second wild-card spot in the National League. Despite that, Mets color commentator Keith Hernandez isn’t interested in calling games with the red-hot Phillies, saying he doesn’t enjoy watching them play....

Catcher Travis d’Arnaud (broken right hand) and left-handed relief specialist Jerry Blevins (broken left forearm) will join a DL that already includes David Wright (hamstring). NJ.com noted that Zack Wheeler, an expected rotation cog, underwent Tommy John surgery last month, as did key reliever Josh Edgin. Vic Black, a high-powered bullpen arm, will undergo another MRI on his troublesome shoulder. Plus, closer Jenrry Mejia is unavailable while serving an 80-game suspension after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs....

No big deal right? The Pirates are dealing with some injuries and could use a few good bats to fill in their lineup. But the problem is that on Tuesday night, the Mets are holding their "T-Shirt Tuesday" event in which fans can get select tickets and a Marlon Byrd T-shirt for just $19. Yes, the same Marlon Byrd the team traded earlier in the day. The Mets let Byrd fly all right....

Newsweek takes a look at the history behind the day, famous quotes and where the best places are to party. The History of Mexican Independence Day According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, following the invasion of Spain by Napoleon I in 1808, many Mexicans formed secret societies to either to support King Ferdinand VII or for Mexico’s independence from Spain. A catholic priest called Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla (Hidalgo) was one of the supporters for independence in San Miguel (now San Miguel de Allende), near Dolores....

The goalkeeper came on at the break after starter Boy Waterman was injured in the opening portion. Gudino wasn’t the only Mexican in action this Champions League matchday. Three played for Porto in a 3-2 loss to RB Leipzig. Goal’s Jon Arnold runs down all this week’s action in the video above.

Rios was 0 for 4 before hitting a line drive to center field that brought Daniel Alvarez home for the Charros de Jalisco. Rios was thrown out trying for second base. Romo (1-0), a three-time World Series winner with the San Francisco Giants, was perfect over the final 2 2/3 innings, striking out three. Venezuela leads the Group B with a 2-0 record, while the Mexicans and Cubans are tied with at 1-2....

The first disallowed goal. The second.

TV footage and videos posted on social media showed fans throwing objects, including cups and water bottles, towards members of the U.S. team, who were celebrating their win at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. It took place shortly after midfielder Christian Pulisic made a game-winning penalty kick that gave the U.S. the 3-2 lead in the upper 90. Giovanni Reyna, who scored the first goal to tied the score in the first half, was struck in the head by an object....

The former Barcelona centre-back recently made a farewell appearance for his club Atlas, and bowing out on the biggest stage with El Tri was earmarked as a perfect end to Marquez’s career. However, the 39-year-old has not played international football since last year’s Confederations Cup after being sanctioned by the United States Treasury for alleged ties to a drug trafficking organisation. “I believe that my legal counsellors have already addressed the issue so I’m still excited, I still keep the huge dream of ending my career in that way,” he told ESPN in April....
