As this is Blizzard’s next large scale release, it is expected to break the previous sales record that were set. The World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade expansion sold 2.4 million in the first 24 hours and the Wrath of the Lich King expansion sold 2.8 million in the first 24 hours. It is no surprise that Blizzard will take a page from Starcraft II’s book and go with digital downloads as well as physical media....
According to the University Police Department, reserve quarterback Skyler Mornhinweg, son of New York Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg, and teammate Gerald Willis got into a fight over a pair of missing cleats Monday night.

French Tennis Federation president Bernard Giudicelli on Tuesday announced that Sharapova has not been invited to play at Roland Garros. The two-time French Open champion returned to the WTA Tour last month after serving a 15-month suspension for testing positive for the banned substance meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open. However, Giudicelli explained that Sharapova could not be granted a wildcard for the second major of the year in Paris, which starts on May 28....
He suggested the Argentine national anthem should be played instead of the Mexican one when El Tri takes to field at Estadio Azteca, due to the presence of two Argentina-born players in Mexico’s squad. Dely Valdes then retracted on Wednesday and pleaded for “thousands” of apologies for any offense he caused on Wednesday. But the talking is almost over, and while the words may have wound up Christian “Chaco” Gimenez slightly – he called them “disrespectful” - Mexico’s biggest opponent so far this disastrous World Cup qualifying campaign has been itself....
It’s highly surprising as well that these games got their start on the Nintendo Wii, one of the most wholesome, family-approved consoles of all time. There are very few M rated games on the Wii, and No More Heroes and its sequel No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle wear their ratings with a badge of honor. While the world will receive No More Heroes 3 some time within the next few years, there’s a lot more that could be done with the series in the meantime....
“That showed clearly a relation because against Feyenoord we could think ‘OK, it’s a different profile of football.’ But today was against a typical Premier League team and Micki could perform this way. “So we are really happy because we know the reason why we bought him and we were waiting for his adaptation to the English game and it looks like it’s coming.” Having had a hand in much of United’s better play, including laying on their first two goals with neat play on both occasions, there is nothing more the attacker can do to prove he has the tools to be a success in the English top flight....
Simmons – coming off the back of a dismal display in game two – finished Saturday’s contest with 16 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, but a number of costly errors ultimately proved decisive. Four turnovers harmed the 76ers bid to claim a first triumph of the series, while his wasteful shot with 19 seconds of overtime remaining gave the Celtics the chance to win. Rather than taking time off the clock with Philadelphia 98-97 up, Simmons launched a shot that missed and handed possession back to the Celtics....
Nintendo Switch Mini release date There might be a bit of a wait for the Switch Mini as a rumour suggests the console will be launched during fiscal year that ends in March 2019. With a period of 12 months when Nintendo could release the new console, it’s hard to predict the possible release date. Our best guess at the moment is a similar timeframe to the NES Classic Mini which was announced in July 2016 and launched on 11 November....
What’s more is that it took seven weeks for the PS4 overtake its first half million units in Japan, and it actually needed eight weeks to reach a figure that was similar to the latest numbers for the Nintendo Switch in the country. It’s also worth mentioning that there was a slight drop in the Switch’s sales several days ago, but the console managed to recover last week, as the sales coincided with the Big N’s confirmation to doubly increase production in order to meet demand, as well as the announcement of the system’s upcoming Splatoon 2 Global Testfire....
When Nintendo released its 2020 fiscal year financial results on May 7, 2020, the company also hosted an earnings call that began with a discussion on “Risks Related to COVID-19” according to the Explanatory Material posted to Nintendo of Japan’s website. When discussing the impact on parts procurement, production, and shipments, it was said that impacts seen in April may be over by the summer according to live tweet translations by David Gibson, co-founder of the investment advisory firm Astris Advisory Japan....
What is there to say about Super Mario 64 that has not already been said? When it launched in 1996, the game pioneered 3D platforming and camera control that would go on to define the following generations. There are now so many different ways to play Super Mario 64, and it is constantly referenced by later games in the series. Since then, Mario has grown as an icon as well, Nintendo partnering with LEGO in 2020 to release a series of customizable sets, where players can construct their own courses and have Mario interact with various items....
It is now 24 hours after the launch of Destiny 2’s Niobe Labs mission and so far not a single fireteam has completed it. We reported yesterday that the puzzle-solving associated with the encounter was dividing fans and that sentiment has continued to grow now that Niobe Labs has become the longest Destiny activity to complete. What’s worse, though, is that no one can predict if there is an end in sight....
It seems, however, that they have recently acquired an LPL team called Victory Five and will enter the Chinese league to compete. NiP acquired Victory Five who have been underperforming at LPL to mark a return into League of Legends Victory Five’s performance has been quite poor in the 2021 Summer Split. They are currently sitting at 0-16, and it looks like Ninjas in Pyjamas will have to do some work if they don’t want history to repeat....
Despite Kenny Omega’s best efforts, Kota Ibushi would emerge victorious and hand the IWGP Champion his second loss in the tournament. The match began with both men demonstrating their technical skills, but quickly led to both men getting into a striking match with each other. Ibushi gained control and attempted a dive to the outside, but missed and was viciously attacked by Omega who sent him back into the ring....

How Arsenal can build post-Wenger PSG are keen to strengthen their attack ahead of next season after missing out on the Ligue 1 title in 2016-17, Monaco proving too strong for Unai Emery’s men, and speculation has linked Aubameyang as the ideal addition to their squad. Nevertheless, Dortmund are adamant they have yet to receive any bids for the 27-year-old striker. “As of now, we have not received any offers from any club across the world,” sporting director Zorc told Ruhr Nachrichten....
Nagpur, Nov 22 (PTI) At ease with the constant changes made to his batting position, Indian wicketkeeper Wriddhiman Saha today said the number six slot in the Indian batting line-up is a flexible one depending on the conditions. In the first Test against Sri Lanka, Saha, who has a 40 plus average in first-class and three Test hundreds, came in at No.7 and 8 in both innings. Asked if the balance is hampered, if he has to bat at those positions, Saha replied: “It’s not that I always bat at No 7 (or No 8) as I have batted at No 6 also....
HONG KONG (Reuters) - Leicester City have yet to receive any bids for winger Riyad Mahrez, manager Craig Shakespeare said on Tuesday, despite the Algerian announcing his intention to leave the Premier League club at the end of last season. Mahrez has been linked with a move to AS Roma but the 2015/16 Premier League champions had not been contacted by the Italian side about a transfer for the 26-year-old, he said....
