Amazon Prime Day 2019: The Best Nintendo Switch Deal
If you're browsing around Amazon Prime Day for a good deal, we have one in particular you won't want to miss: A Nintendo Switch plus a $35 eShop gift card for only $299.
Nintendo Switch + $35 eShop Gift Card at Amazon
The Nintendo Switch is a great device, and there's no denying that Nintendo has a track record of making some amazing games for it. With this deal, you're essentially getting a free gift card, which you can immediately turn around and buy some awesome indie games off the eShop - we recommend Stardew Valley, Celeste, Steamworld Dig 2, or Hollow Knight - or take a huge chunk out of the price of a traditional $60 release. It's hard to beat grabbing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate or Super Mario Maker 2 for $25.
Division 2 Director Asks Fans if They’d Want a Single-Player Spin-Off
The Division 2’s creative director has asked for fans’ thoughts on a single-player spin-off of the Tom Clancy looter-shooter.
Creative director at Massive Entertainment, Julian Gerighty, retweeted an idea from Tim Spencer, who is level director at Lego studio TT Games. In his tweet, Spencer imagines a narrative-focused, single-player The Division, that would follow an agent attempting to get back to their family after being sent to New York City. He notes in the thread that “None of the stories have explored what a Division agent sacrifices, and what they go through mentally,” which would make good grounds for a single-player offering.
Apex Legends Anti-Cheat Plans Outlined by Respawn
Respawn Entertainment has outlined its plans to help combat Apex Legends cheaters in the wake of an increase of cheat reports.
Explaining the studio’s progress in a Reddit post, Respawn said “We know reports of cheaters, especially in Ranked, have been a hot topic,” and went on to explain that machine learning is being used to generate behaviour models that can detect and automatically ban cheaters.
In addition, two-factor authorisation is going to be made a mandatory requirement for some “high risk” accounts in certain regions, presumably based on data gathered from player reports. Those found guilty of cheating or spamming will be matchmade together to try and isolate bad behaviour.

Monster Hunter: World Iceborne Will Have a Harder Endgame
Capcom had made the endgame of Monster Hunter: World Iceborne more challenging than the base game’s in response to feedback from fans.
Talking to Game Informer, executive director and art director Koname Fujioka said “We've taken that feedback to heart from players who wanted more difficulty and more challenge and really delivered on that."
Before you can hit Iceborne’s endgame, you need to have finished Monster Hunter: World’s main story. For those who have not yet reached that milestone, Capcom have included a few features to make getting through the story a little quicker. A streamlined tracking system, for instance, should make discovering monsters a little quicker.

WWE Extreme Rules: You’ll Never Believe Who Crashed the Main Event
Real-life WWE power couple "The Man" Becky Lynch and "The Man's Man" Seth Rollins, team up tonight at WWE Extreme Rules for a collision with the bizarrely-dressed Baron Corbin and Lacey Evans, and I'll be running down the PPV action all evening here for IGN!
There was a lot of damn pro-wrestling this weekend - from AEW's Fight for the Fallen to Evolve's 10th Anniversary Celebration (which streamed on the WWE Network) to the B Block matches from NJPW's G1 Climax 29. Extreme Rules, which is hardly extreme and contains barely-present rules, almost feels like an afterthought. But it is WWE's final stop on the road to SummerSlam. And it's also the only card to feature THE GRAVEYARD DOGS! Yes, that's a real moniker and the tee's available at Shop Dot Com. Along with "The Man's Man" shirt. And probably a whole "Brock Party" section marked 30% off.
