Valve has released a stunning new limited edition OLED Steam Deck, and it's WHITE. We try very hard to not spend $700 on it.

Plus, the Warcraft remastered rumors were true, Xbox's confusing plans for 2025, and our continued adventures in "Metaphor," "Baldur's Gate," and a new MMO from NCSoft.

THIS IS FURUKAWA.

Nintendo has officially confirmed what we've all been waiting to hear. The successor to the Switch will play your existing library of games (and hopefully run them better!).

The news broke in a tweet after a CORPORATE MANAGEMENT POLICY BRIEFING, which is perfect timing since there's nothing else in the world or the news worth talking about.

Meanwhile, The New York Times' tech workers are on strike, which includes the team that supports Wordle. The Guild has asked subscribers to stop playing Wordle during the strike, which would break the years-long streaks of millions of players.

A "Mass Effect" TV show has been greenlit, and rumors of a "Warcraft 2" remaster are circulating.

Plus: More "Metaphor: ReFantazio," a new mobile "Wizardry" game, and a coffee table book filled with archival pages from EGM monthly.

Nintendo fans, rejoice! For the first time ever, you can listen to your favorite songs from Mario, Zelda, and... Pikmin(?) on the Internet, thanks to Nintendo Music, a new streaming app that nobody asked for.

With video game music is hotter than ever, why would Nintendo skip the streaming services and build a standalone platform? And what will happen to all the music fans already get from YouTube? We discuss this strange and adorable development.

Plus: Our first impressions of cut scene simulator "Metaphor: ReFantazio," and hands-on with the beta for "Monster Hunter Wilds."

Also, for the love of God, please vote.
