Marvel Cosmic Invasion is a '90s-style beat-'em-up in the mold of Shredder's Revenge

There’s a lot in the world to be angry about today. So, why not do like we did in the ’90s and channel that aggression into beating the living hell out of bad guys in a delightfully loud and over-the-top arcade game? Marvel Cosmic Invasion takes characters like Spider-Man, Captain America and Wolverine and gives them a beat-’em-up that looks straight out of a grunge-era cabinet.

If this sounds like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, that’s no coincidence. Marvel Cosmic Invasion is not only cut from the same cloth; it’s from the same team (developer Tribute Games and publisher Dotemu). The idea is to recreate the look, sound and feel of side-scrolling ’90s button-mashers like X-Men, The Simpsons and the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with modern touches.

Like Shredder’s Revenge, it exploits the advantages of modern graphical engines without betraying its muses’ old-school pixel art. Appropriately, the characters’ visual style is inspired by 90s-era Marvel comics.

You’ll choose a team of two superheroes and can tag between them mid-fight. At launch, you can play as Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, Storm, Phyla-Vell, Venom and Nova. The developers are mum about which characters we might see in the future, but it’s hard to imagine Marvel stalwarts like Thor, Iron Man, Black Panther, Hulk and Black Widow not swooping in at some point.

Its story sounds as extravagant as you’d want from a ’90s-inspired Marvel beat-’em-up. “The immortal Super Villain Annihilus has launched an unprecedented attack across the galaxy, threatening all life as we know it,” the description reads. “Fighters both Earth-born and cosmic must now join forces in a star-spanning adventure against the deadly Annihilation Wave. Brawl through the streets of New York City all the way to the depths of the Negative Zone to foil Annihilus’ vow to spread death across the cosmos.”

You can play with up to four players, local or online. (And it supports crossplay!)

Marvel Cosmic Invasion will be available for PC, Switch, PS5 / PS4 and Xbox. There’s no word yet on pricing or an exact release date, but Dotemu says it will arrive later this year. In the meantime, you can check out the announcement trailer below.

Amazon Spring Sale deals include the Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones for 20 percent off

The Amazon Spring Sale has made me jealous — I’m envious of those who can now pick up Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones at a record-low price, as someone who paid full price for them long ago. Our top picks for the best wireless headphones you can buy are on sale for $318, which represents a 20 percent discount. The sale is available on the Silver and Smoky Pink models.

There are few tech products I would recommend to anyone, but Sony’s XM5 headphones are one of them. I’ve raved so much about them that my parents and brother all bought a pair (while my partner uses mine about as often as I do). One of the biggest things for me, as someone who gets headaches easily, is that they’re so comfortable. I’ve worn them on quite a few overnight flights now and can easily keep them on the whole time. 

Speaking of flights, the active noise cancellation is another reason they’re a treat for those overnight hauls. The XM5s have double the processors and and microphones for ANC as their predecessor. I once slept two rows away from a crying baby and, with music on, I couldn’t hear a thing. Plus, the 30 hours of battery life means I don’t have to worry about them dying half way through my travels (my AirPods always need to recharge in their case before I arrive). 

Their excellence on flights isn’t the only reason we gave Sony’s XM5 headphones a 95 in our review. They’re also great for listening to music while working or out for a walk. The XM5s have 30mm carbon fiber drivers and DSEE Extreme, together boosting the sound’s quality and depth. My only complaint is that the M5s don’t fold up, but especially at this price, they’re still such a great buy. 

This discount is part of a larger sale on headphones and earbuds for the Amazon Spring Sale. If the XM5s don’t quite meet your criteria, there are other models on sale from Beats, Bose and other brands.

Amazon Spring Sale Apple deals: Get the Series 10 Watch for $100 off

It’s your lucky day if you’re looking for good deals on Apple devices. Thanks to the Amazon Spring Sale, the Apple Watch Series 10 has dropped to its lowest price to date. The smartwatch is back on sale for a record-low price of $299. That’s a $100 discount. The Apple Watch SE got a discount too. The device typically retails for $249, but you can snap it up for $169.

The Apple Watch Series 10 is our pick for the best smartwatch overall. That may not necessarily apply if you’re an Android user, since you need an iPhone to actually use an Apple Watch.

In any case, we gave the Apple Watch Series 10 a score of 90 in our review. Apple’s current flagship smartwatch has a bigger screen, making it easier to see your notifications and health data (it’s a pretty dang great device for wellness and fitness tracking). The thinner frame makes it more aesthetically pleasing too. On the downside, losing the blood oxygen feature from previous models is a bummer, but that issue was out of Apple’s hands to a certain extent.

It’s perhaps not quite worth an upgrade if you have a Series 8 or 9 already. Apple isn’t exactly reinventing the wheel here. Plus the sleep apnea detection feature that debuted alongside the Series 10 is also available on the Series 9 and Ultra 2. Still, if you’re an Apple Watch newcomer or upgrading from an even older model, the Series 10 is likely your best option, especially for the sake of future proofing.

Amazon Spring Sale Kindle deals: The second-gen Scribe drops to a record-low price

If you’ve been contemplating an E Ink tablet, one of our top picks has received a good discount thanks to Amazon’s Spring Sale. The second-gen Kindle Scribe is on sale for $325, down from $399 — that’s a 19 percent discount. Digital notebooks like the Scribe can give you the convenience of a connected device with the old-school feel of writing with pen and paper.

The new Amazon Kindle Scribe received an 86 in our review thanks to its nice design, AI enhancements and excellent reading and writing experience. It also comes with a Premium Pen that has a rubberized top to symbolize an eraser. Our biggest quip was its cost, but that’s somewhat less concerning thanks to this discount.

The Scribe isn’t the only Kindle discounted for the Amazon Spring Sale. You can grab the Kindle Colorsoft for $225 right now, which is 20 percent off its usual going rate. If you’ve been keen on getting a Kindle with a color display so you can better read comics, manga and the like, the Colorsoft is your only option. We enjoyed the colors that the screen can produce, plus its a zippy ereader a handy auto-adjusting front light and a solid 32GB of storage.

Galaxy S25 Edge Dummy Model Show More Details About The Device

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge has once again made headlines, appearing in a new video that showcases its ultra-thin design. Despite previous teasers at Galaxy Unpacked and MWC 2025, the device has remained largely a mystery, as Samsung has yet to allow public interaction with it. Now, a South Korean YouTube channel, TheSINZA, has revealed non-functional models, offering a closer look at the flagship smartphone.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be Samsung’s thinnest smartphone ever, with a mere 5.84 mm thickness—significantly slimmer than the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 8.2 mm. The video features two color options: a silver variant with a white back and a new all-black model. Despite being non-functional, these models highlight the premium build quality, with aluminum sides and a likely ceramic back.

The phone’s front is entirely occupied by the display, emphasizing a sleek and modern look. On the back, a dual-camera system is visible, rumored to consist of a 200 MP main sensor and a 50 MP ultra-wide lens, promising high-quality photography.

Flagship Hardware

Samsung is expected to equip the Galaxy S25 Edge with top-tier specifications. Reports suggest the device will run on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12 GB of RAM and storage options of 256 GB or 512 GB. The smartphone is also expected to feature a 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals.

Powering the device is a 3,900 mAh battery with 25W fast charging support. It will also come with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance. Out of the box, the S25 Edge will run on Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7.

Launch Date and Pricing

The Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to launch on April 16, 2025, but in a low-profile manner, without a dedicated global event—similar to Samsung’s strategy with the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition and Galaxy S24 FE. In the U.S., the phone is expected to start at $999, making it a premium yet competitive offering.
