Leaked alleged hotos Nintendo 2 - view from side joy con
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
Photos claiming to show Joy-Con controllers for an unreleased Nintendo system have appeared on Chinese social media. What caught my attention was a key detail: the system serial number visible in these photos checks out on Nintendo’s official warranty verification page.
The images showcase controllers that look similar to current Switch Joy-Cons with some apparent design tweaks. While I can’t verify the authenticity of these photos, the functional warranty number is an interesting technical detail that sets this leak apart from typical rumors. Nintendo has not made any official statements about these images or a new console. Industry watchers expect announcements about Nintendo’s next system sometime in early 2024.

Fellow virtual tourists, gather ’round. For the low, low price of €2.99, you can spend a wild vacation in Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition’s lovingly recreated Hong Kong.

Total sleeper hit.
Prefer raiding trap-filled ruins to busting up gang hideouts? Lara Croft‘s got you covered.

Epic Games Store is back to its weekly schedule after all those daily holiday drops, and they’re starting 2025 strong. Hell Let Loose, the massive WWII tactical shooter, is up for grabs until January 9th.
Shooter Worth Every Penny (That You’re Not Spending)
Look, this game still runs $50 on Steam, and for good reason. We’re talking 100-player battles across huge WWII maps, where you’ve got to actually talk to your teammates if you want to survive longer than five minutes. It’s pretty much Band of Brothers meets tactical shooter, minus the Hollywood script – you and your squad write your own war stories here.
Fresh Start for 2025
Epic’s been killing it lately with their free games. We just wrapped up that crazy holiday spree where we got everything from sword-swinging in Sifu to medieval life in Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Now they’re kicking off the weekly drops with this chunky multiplayer shooter.
Hell Let Loose First Person Shooter
This one’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you’re into shooters that make you use your brain as much as your trigger finger. Grab it before January 9th, get some friends together, and maybe learn a bit of WWII history while you’re at it. Just don’t be that lone wolf who runs straight into enemy artillery – trust me, been there, done that, got sent back to spawn.
Epic kicks off 2025 with a medieval masterpiece – Kingdom Come: Deliverance is free for the next 24 hours. Having covered this gem extensively in our previous review, I can tell you firsthand it’s not your typical fantasy RPG. Instead of dragons and magic, you’ll find yourself in a historically accurate slice of medieval Bohemia, where being a blacksmith’s son means starting at rock bottom.
Perfect Timing for Epic’s Offer
With Kingdom Come: Deliverance II just behind the corner – on 4th February, this freebie couldn’t be better timed. If you missed Henry’s original medieval tale of revenge and politics, now’s your chance to experience it without spending a groat. The combat system might kick your behind at first, but mastering it feels incredibly rewarding.
What sets this apart from our recent Epic freebies like Sifu or [REDACTED] is its hardcore commitment to realism. You’ll need to eat, sleep, and even learn to read – yes, your character starts illiterate, because that’s how most medieval peasants lived. The game doesn’t hold your hand, and that’s exactly what makes it special.
Get Kingdom Come: Deliverance before January 2nd at 5 PM. Whether you’re a history buff, RPG enthusiast, or just curious about what medieval Czech life was really like, this is one freebie you don’t want to miss. Plus, you’ll want to know the full story before the sequel drops.
Epic’s holiday giveaway continues with Sifu, an intense martial arts action game available free for the next 24 hours. Moving on from [REDACTED], today’s reveal puts you in the shoes of a young kung fu student on a path of revenge and mastery.
What makes this daily reveal special is how different it feels from our recent freebies. We’ve jumped from Return to Moria’s dwarven survival to Control’s supernatural powers, through Ghostrunner 2’s cyber-ninja action, Hot Wheels‘ arcade racing, [REDACTED], and now we’re diving into authentic kung fu combat with Sifu.
The game’s unique aging mechanic adds a clever twist – each time you fall in combat, you rise again older but wiser. Your character gains experience while losing youth, creating a fascinating balance between power and time. The combat itself feels weighty and authentic, taking inspiration from classic kung fu films and real martial arts.
Remember to grab Sifu before the next mystery game takes its place tomorrow at 5 PM. Epic’s holiday surprises keep rolling, and this one’s particularly worth adding to your library if you enjoy challenging combat games with a distinct style. Wonder what genre we’ll get to explore next?
