UPDATE (2/14/20) - Bids for the Nintendo PlayStation prototype console are now up to $350,000 USD with 20 days left on the auction. Original story follows. [poilib element="accentDivider"] One of the rarest pieces of gaming history, the Nintendo PlayStation, is currently up for auction and has become the most expensive item in gaming history. As the auction continues, bids for the Nintendo PlayStation exceeded $105,000 earlier today, officially making it the most expensive gaming item to date, according to Video Game History Foundation's Kelsey Lewin. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=could-this-be-the-snes-playstation-prototype"] At the time of writing, bids for the Nintendo PlayStation have reached $310,000 with a few weeks left in the auction. The prototype was designed to play NES cartridges and CD games but never came to fruition after Nintendo publicly walked away from its 'unofficially official' deal with Sony at the 1991 Consumer Electronics Show. Owner Terry Diebold announced last year that he would auction off the prototype this February, sharing that he has turned down million-dollar offers for the system over the years. Diebold told Kotaku that he has decided to part with one of gaming's rarest treasures because it has become quite expensive to continually showcase the Nintendo PlayStation over the years. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2015/07/14/beyond-the-nintendo-playstation-that-couldve-been"] "I can’t keep losing money. I’ve put a lot of work into this by traveling with it and we have made nothing on it,” Diebold told Kotaku via email. “Every trip that we… have taken with it has cost us money out of pocket.” With three weeks left in the auction, the prototype will likely only continue to increase in value — the only question is, how much? What would you be willing to pay for the Nintendo PlayStation? Let us know in the comments below. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Andrew Smith is a freelance contributor with IGN.

Production has officially begun on The Batman and director Matt Reeves was in a very sharing mood on Twitter today. He uploaded a video on Vimeo showcasing Robert Pattinson in the iconic Batman Batsuit. The video clip was set to a very moody piece of music and the lighting that surrounded Pattinson bathed him and the suit in a bold red color. You can see the video below: [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/the-batman-camera-test"] Twitter instantly reacted to the first look, by sharing their thoughts on the suit, the color choice, the Batarang logo, Pattinson's remarkable jawline, and what each detail could be telling us about the film -- we have our own Batsuit breakdown here. Some Twitter users thought the red lighting made Batman look like Marvel's Daredevil, while other Twitter users thought the suit style could signify the film pulling from the Batman: Year One comicbook storyline. Here are some of the best reactions to the suit reveal:

What do you think of the suit? How does it stack up to previous iterations of Batman in your eyes? Let us know in the comments! The Batman will soar into theaters on June 25, 2021. Pattinson will be joined by Colin Farrell, John Tuturro, Andy Serkis, Zoe Kravitz, Paul Dano and Jeffrey Wright.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is less than two months away, and Square Enix revealed a handful on new screenshots this morning showcasing Tifa's moves, side quests, and, most importantly, some adorable and oddly proportioned summons. Naturally, fans immediately went to work and began commenting on Chocobo Chick and Carbuncle's crazy designs, creating memes at the speed of light. The Chocobo Chick is adorable and plump, shown sitting on its little tush with its Super Saiyan-like yellow hairdo sticking up even taller than Cloud's. Carbuncle's design was met with a more divided reception because, while the creature is cute, its forehead is more of a sevenhead, and a big ruby is just plopped right on there. A third summon, Cactuar, was shown off, but it looks exactly like anyone expected a Cactaur to look like in a Final Fantasy game.

Take a closer look at three special summons in #FinalFantasy VII Remake!

Fans React to Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Chocobo Chick

Reactions to Chocobo Chick where generally positive, but fans poked fun at its big ol' head and spiky yellow hair reminiscent of Goku as a Super Saiyan, Cloud Strife himself, and even a certain Food Network star.   [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/01/cloud-is-still-beautiful-in-final-fantasy-7-remake-ign-daily-fix"]

Fans React to Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Carbuncle

While some fans found Carbuncle's Garfield-esque look adorable, several were disappointed it wasn't more akin to its design from Final Fantasy XV, where its gem was turned into a small red horn.

At 18 years of age, Eilish is the youngest artist in history to both write and record a James Bond theme song. She'll be performing the tune live for the first time, accompanied by FINNEAS, plus special guests Hans Zimmer and Johnny Marr, at The Brit Awards in London on February 18. In a statement, Eilish said "It feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be able to score the theme song to a film that is part of such a legendary series is a huge honor. James Bond is the coolest film franchise ever to exist. I'm still in shock."

Director Matt Reeves has given us our first look at Robert Pattinson in the batsuit for the upcoming The Batman, via a screentest video. The director of the new take on the dark knight posted a camera test to Vimeo, revealing a deeply shadowed Pattinson in costume as Batman, include shots of his bat symbol, as well as the actor in the cowl. Watch the camera test below. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/13/the-batman-camera-test"] While the footage itself is dark, moody, and only gives us a brief glimpse of this new take on Batman, we do get a close-up look of his chest emblem. Take a look at the new bat symbol and Pattinson in the cowl below: [caption id="attachment_2302625" align="alignnone" width="720"] Robert Pattinson as The Batman[/caption] [caption id="attachment_230260" align="alignnone" width="720"] The Batman's bat symbol, as revealed in the first test footage for Robert Pattinson's new take on the character.[/caption] Reeves has been using social media to trickle out information about the upcoming film, which sees Pattinson don the cowl following Ben Affleck's take on Batman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League. Pattinson has discussed how he's already prepared for backlash to his portrayal of Batman. In addition to sharing a The Batman set photo from the first day of filming, Reeves has revealed Colin Farrell will be playing The Penguin, John Tuturro is set to play Carmine Falcone, Andy Serkis taking on the mantle of Alfred, and more. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=the-batman-cast-every-actor-and-character&captions=true"] We know Zoe Kravitz will be in the film as Catwoman, as well as that Paul Dano will play The Riddler and Westworld actor Jeffrey Wright has been cast as Commissioner Gordon. Late last year, Robert Pattinson described suiting up as Batman for the first time, later going on to describe the Batsuit as "pretty cool," without giving too much away about the design.

Emilio Estevez is officially returning as Coach Gordon Bombay in the 10-episode Disney+ series, The Mighty Ducks. Estevez, who will also serve as executive producer on The Mighty Ducks, will join series regulars Lauren Graham and Brady Noon on the series that is set to premiere later this year. Disney+'s Twitter shared a couple images from the production of The Mighty Ducks, which you can see below, of Estevez and some of the other cast members on the ice. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=emilio-estevez-returns-for-disneys-the-mighty-ducks&captions=true"] “Once a Duck, always a Duck!,” said Emilio Estevez, “and after 25 years, I am delighted to lace up my skates, put on Coach Bombay's jacket and return to play the iconic character for this new chapter in ‘The Mighty Ducks’ franchise. Likewise, I am thrilled to return to my old stomping grounds with my friends at Disney and Steve Brill, the original creator of the franchise, to join them on their exciting new platform, Disney+.” The Mighty Ducks takes place in present-day Minnesota and "the Mighty Ducks have evolved from scrappy underdogs to an ultra-competitive, powerhouse youth hockey team. After 12-year-old Evan (Noon) is unceremoniously cut from the Ducks, he and his mom Alex (Graham) set out to build their own ragtag team of misfits to challenge the cutthroat, win-at-all-costs culture of competitive youth sports. With the help of Gordon Bombay (Estevez), they discover the joys of playing just for the love of the game." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2018/01/22/the-mighty-ducks-tv-series-in-the-works-ign-news"] Estevez made his acting debut in Tim Hunter's Tex and went on to star in such films as The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire. The Mighty Ducks franchise began with the 1992 classic of the same name and saw two sequels - 1994's D2: The Mighty Ducks and 1996's D3: The Mighty Ducks.

While Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker had plenty of twists and turns, fans of the Star Wars Rebels animated series got a delightful surprise during Rey’s climactic confrontation with the Emperor: the voice of Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus was among the empowering chorus of Jedi giving our heroine a pep talk. IGN spoke with the voice of Kanan himself, Freddie Prinze Jr, about how he came to be a part of this special scene that not only brought in Kanan but also Ahsoka Tano, Mace Windu, and more for a cross-generational Jedi reunion. Prinze said that the opportunity came his way when he got an innocuous phone call from Rebels creator and Star Wars animation mastermind Dave Filoni, asking if he was down to record some lines for Kanan just a few weeks before the release of The Rise of Skywalker. Rebels had concluded its four-season run in 2018, and Kanan heroically sacrificed himself in the final season, so being asked to record new lines signaled to Prinze that he was going in for something special. “I was like, yeah, whatever you guys need. I always like to do that. And they were like, ‘okay, but this one might be a little different,’” Prinze recalled. “And so right away I was like, ‘oh, it's for the movie!’” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-returning-jedi-cameo-in-star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker&captions=true"] Prinze clarified that he only went in to record voice lines and nothing beyond that. In the lead-up to the movie, rumors were swirling that actors were being brought in to film appearances as Force ghosts, but as we know now, that never came to fruition. “[Director] JJ [Abrams] came in and kind of broke down the scene, and what was happening, and what was going on with Rey and what she was needing from the Jedi at that point, because the Force provides you with what you need - not the Jedi per se, it's the Force kind of dictating that,” he said. Prinze was only privy to his character’s role in the scene, and though he knew that other Jedi actors were being given the exact same set of lines to record, he didn’t know the identity of any other voices in the scene until he sat down to watch the movie himself. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=star-wars-force-powers-you-probably-didnt-know-about&captions=true"] Seeing (or in this case, hearing) characters from the animated shows in the live-action movies is pretty special, because it acknowledges that those beloved characters are truly a part of the Star Wars universe, unlike how Marvel kept Daredevil and the rest of the Defenders out of the MCU movies as if they didn’t exist. Star Wars Rebels has been referenced a few times on the big screen, like when Chopper made a cameo in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and the rebels' ship, the Ghost, was one of many that answered Lando’s call in The Rise of Skywalker. For Prinze, he views all Star Wars stories as different parts of the same entity, regardless of medium. “Star Wars is Star Wars, whether it's a video game, whether it's a novel, whether it's a movie or a cartoon. ... It's all the same to me. They're all telling the same kind of story, and it's the same brain trust behind them,” he said. Prinze was enthusiastic about getting to work with Filoni again, and he was brimming with excitement for what else Filoni and his team at Lucasfilm have in store for Star Wars fans. “I believe in a lot of the people they have there [at Lucasfilm], and the types of stories they want to tell, just because they've told me the stories they want to tell. And I think they're great, and I can't wait to see more of this stuff in Dave's head get out there,” he teased, not offering any details on what he heard. “He's told me some of the best-- to where I felt like I was a kid and sitting on a pappy's knee, and they were hearing an old story. That's how good they are, and those haven't even been told yet. So they have a ton of work ahead of them, and it's all work that they're inspired by … But I love the direction they're going in, and I love Dave's influence over the brand at this point.” In other news, Prinze revealed a new unscripted RPG game show that will be debuting on DC Universe called All-Star Games.
