"I don't need any more gaming devices in my life but I'm obsessed with the latest batch of DS knock-offs out of China. Nintendo is really leaving money on the table by not shipping its own legacy handhelds. I mean, people were so desperate for a new Game Boy they hacked the Lego one so it could run games."
"It's the same dark shade as the normal Pro controller but with graphics from an in-game newspaper over the front. The words Resident Evil are also there but largely interrupted by the central Switch 2 logo. Truly a bummer. In other bad news, the Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem has been confirmed to be a game key card. Rip."
"As spotted by Rock, Paper, Shotgun, developer Ashleigh Amrine made a now-deleted post on LinkedIn about the layoffs that hinted at the game no longer being in production. "This morning I was part of the layoffs at Amazon Games, alongside my incredibly talented peers on New World and our fledgling Lord of the Rings game (y'all would have loved it)," she wrote."
The Switch 2's special edition Resident Evil Requiem Pro controller uses a dark shade and in-game newspaper graphics that obscure the Switch 2 logo, and Requiem will be distributed as a game key card. Concerns arise that third-party physical key cards could dominate Switch 2 retail, reducing traditional cartridge value. Amazon Games faced layoffs and a now-deleted LinkedIn post from a developer implied the Lord of the Rings MMO may be canceled, though Amazon has not confirmed. Microsoft reported falling Xbox hardware revenue despite growth in Azure and AI services, affecting the gaming division's overall performance.
