That was revealed weeks ago. Btw, price has not yet been confirmed. Only that it will be less than $1000 (whether that's also true for the Pro model is yet unclear).

I might grab DNF Duel digitally. Still undecided. It looks really high quality.

@JaxonH Nice. I had only caught wind of it after a recent discussion of the Ryzen Z1 series.

Really nice chip, unfortunately being Windows based kinda kills the appeal for me. After experiencing the benefits of SteamOS and the extra buttons on Deck, I don't think I could ever go back to a Windows based handheld again, even if it meant full compatibility.

The UI, the shortcuts, the built in onscreen keyboard, the back buttons and TouchPads that come in clutch for mapping extra commands... I think I'll stick with Switch and Deck and eventually Switch 2 and Deck 2. But, never say never. If this thing was $400 and had battery life twice as long as the Deck with functional gyro, I might consider it.

@Giancarlothomaz Yeah, I got that sense when a reviewer mentioned a sky dungeon and then IMMEDIATELY pivoted back to the open world stuff/gameplay mechanics. Nintendo wants to preserve the mystery of this game as long as possible before launch. Which should be... until a week or two out from launch when some store sells a copy early, the person immediately rips the game and puts it online, and then the internet is awash in spoilers as every pirate with a Nintendo Switch emulator plays it ahead of time.

Just saw an editor of Kotaku moaning on Twitter that Nintendo has them blacklisted and have been for two years now this they didn't get previews for Zelda, and it was this "unprofessional".

I mean, based on the two year timescale, we all know what they did and I gotta say....well done Nintendo

Sorry, but I have no idea what the significance of the two year timescale is.

@Ralizah Kotaku has been blacklisted for two years which is right around the time they published an article highlighting Metroid Dread running on emulators better than on official hardware....before the game came out.

It was something even emulation nuts online thought was a little bit in the wrong, to put it lightly.

To be fair, I think Kotaku should be blacklisted for just being Kotaku.

I'll be honest, I had not considered until right now that posting that emulation article was a stupid risk to the site for no one's benefit (even pirates didn't need Kotaku's help :V)

Amazingly that was neither the only stupid Metroid Dread article they posted NOR the only controversy about emulating Nintendo games that month! Wild month that October of 2021 was!

Kotaku feels like a parody website.

And they have the nerve to complain about not being sent codes?

Ah. To be honest, Kotaku stumbles into needless controversies so often it's hard to keep track of everything.

Good on Nintendo for cutting that rag off.

@JaxonH In fairness I would click on the willy being drawn in Splatoon article.

If you're ever bored and want a laugh, someone compiled a whole bunch of Kotaku's best

It's been clear to me for years now that the folks at Kotaku are just as (if not moreso interested) interested in real-world politics as they are in gaming. And I accept that there's a niche for that. But personally I like to use gaming as an escape from real-world problems. I don't really care for the way they tackle gaming news myself.

I think the most extreme case of this I remember seeing is their PS5 review. Written at the end of 2020, it had a whole section on the challenges faced in the world (and in particular, the US) at that time. It became a bit of a meme at the time because literally no-one asked for this in their PS5 review.

With Sega partnering with LRG for the physical release of Alien Isolation I'd like to believe that'll increase the possibility of a Persona 3 and/or Persona 4 physical release. Preferably a double-pack with both, but we know LRG would milk the opportunity with two singular releases.

@JaxonH thank goodness Nintendo has not invited then to do preview impression for Tears of The Kingdom or review of the game, Zeltik been invited to do a preview of the game, was well deserved @TheBigBlue Kotaku was blacklisted by Nintendo because they incentivized emulation/pirancy righ when Metroid Dread was released, in this article they listed the two major emulation program for you to play Metroid Dread better(Rujix e Yuzu), Nintendo lawers/Nintendo ninjas saw this article and made they change this article twice
