This year’s World Video Game Hall of Fame additions include none other than Wii Sports, as it deserves (and yeah, The Last of Us too, I guess). There are constant questions over what the best game ever made is. Some suggest Chrono Trigger, others posit The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, or maybe even Final Fantasy 7. But everyone who says that is wrong, as it’s actually Wii Sports.

A new clip for Transformers: Rise of the Beasts has rolled out, showing off the first meeting between the Optimus Prime’s Autobots and the Maximals led by Optimus Primal.
