It’s debatable which Batmobile is the best–the one from Batman Forever is the undisputed king, according to Bat-science–but building any of the Caped Crusader’s crimefighting vehicles in Lego is undeniably a great way to spend an afternoon.

Amazon Games boss Christoph Hartmann has said his company will “obviously” develop games for the Switch 2, but he isn’t too stressed about when the new system releases. Amazon Games is publishing the next Tomb Raider game from Crystal Dynamics and is also producing a new Lord of the Rings MMO, among other upcoming games.Speaking to IGN, Hartmann said, “We obviously plan to develop games for it and I can’t wait for it to be out.” At the same time, the executive said he would rather Nintendo “wait a year and get it perfect” rather than ship the system as quickly as possible “and then we all complain about what doesn’t work.””Switch has been such a fantastic product, I can wait another year if I have to.
