Despite those memories, Lewis willfinally make his Broadway debut this week, as the Devil in “Damn Yankees.” The 68-year-old comedian is joining a growing roster of nontheatrical performers – Brooke Shields, Helen Reddy and Vanessa Williams – who lend their often-sagging celebrity to struggling shows. They may make the Sondheim crowd gag, but some producers take their potential drawing power very seriously. Lewis will be the highest-paid Broadway actor ever, with a weekly salary said to be at least $40,000, plus a percentage of the box office (Glenn Close reportedly gets $30,000 plus points for “Sunset Boulevard”)....

From Pallikal to Sourav Ghoshal, the country’s top players have lamented the absence of a foreign coach since the acrimonious exit of Achraf El Karargui days before the Commonwealth Games in March. Now, they are heading to heading to the Asian Games in Indonesia, without a foreign coach by their side. “It is unfortunate that at a time when the focus had to be on the Asian Games with just days remaining, an effort is being made to disrupt the mindset of all concerned with the preparations for the Games,” the SRFI said here....

In a recent interview with IGN, Murray has said that, as far as continuing to add new content to No Man’s Sky goes, the team is not done “by a long shot” with the updates, saying that there are still a load of ideas being thrown around the team, which strongly suggests that Hello Games will continue to add new features and improve the game for the foreseeable future. Having said that, Murray was quite tight-lipped about what exactly is in store for the galaxy exploration game....

These were all answered on Marvelous Entertainment’s Twitter account, where they fielded a number of questions from fans to send to the game creator. Some of these revolved around Suda51’s previous games, such as how he writes them, as well as clarifying any plot holes that he was asked about. One of these questions included a spin-off that he’d like to do in the No More Heroes series, which he was happy to answer as well....

No More Heroes 3 was originally announced during Nintendo’s E3 2019 Direct presentation following its tease at the end of Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes, released in January of the same year for Nintendo Switch.

Of course, the firmware has to undergo constant updates to keep the entire Nintendo ecosystem up to date, too. Last month, the company released Nintendo Switch update 14.1.2, which focused on general system stability, improved a few OS features, and added a word to the bad name list. Nintendo has also now pushed a new rebootless update to this firmware version.

For the moment, though, Nintendo has shed precious little light on how Sportsmate customization works. Fans who partook in the Nintendo Switch Sports network playtest seemed pleased with the new avatars, but the character creation menu that fans saw there may not be the final version that’s available to players. Ideally, Nintendo Switch Sports will let players wield extraordinary detail when designing their own Miis. Miitopia recently showcased Nintendo’s ability to come up with creative character design menus, so hopefully the Wii Sports successor will pull from Miitopia’s inventive design....

When it launched in 2017, the Switch became a phenomenal success, combining a home system with mobile gaming, with a roster of titles, including standards such as Mario Kart. This was the win the Japanese company needed after 2012’s Wii U proved to be a let-down....

That writing has been on the wall long before now, with Nintendo’s latest console noticeably absent from the confirmed platforms. It’s no secret that the Wii U has been far from a leading platform for recent Call of Duty titles, but have been supported more often than not - with Treyarch working on Wii U version of both Call of Duty: Ghosts and Black Ops 2. But Sledgehammer co-founder Michael Condry let the hammer fall (forgive us) on Twitter, when asked pointedly if and when the Wii U version would be detailed....

The Federal Court of Australia confirmed on Sunday that Immigration Minister Alex Hawke’s decision to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa wasn’t unlawful. The Serb was forced to leave the country shortly thereafter, meaning he won’t be able to play the Melbourne Slam this year.
