Baby Yoda has helped Disney+ take home its first Emmy during the Creative Arts Emmys virtual presentation. Star Wars: The Mandalorian took home awards for cinematography, production design, sound editing and sound mixing, as well as a big win in the 'Outstanding Special Visual Effects' category. The Disney+ show beat out Stranger Things, Watchmen and Westworld to take home the gold, no doubt helped by internet sensation Baby Yoda. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/17/the-mandalorian-season-2-trailer-breakdown"] Elsewhere, Watchman took home four wins in cinematography, costume, picture editing and sound mixing, making it the other big winner of the night. Disney recently launched the Season 2 trailer for Star Wars: The Mandalorian, which teases the future of Mando and Baby Yoda's adventures. We won't have to wait too long to continue the story either, as The Mandalorian Season 2 will premiere on October 30 later this year. If you're looking for a full breakdown of the Season 2 trailer, you can check out our video here, where we run through all of the gory details. For a refresher on The Mandalorian's cast, check out our list to see all of the cameos from the first season and find out which characters fans can expect to see in Season 2.

Following the chaotic commencement of PlayStation 5 pre-orders, Microsoft has reiterated that it will let the world know exactly what time pre-orders go live for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Xbox's Tweet, which arrived following the trouble surrounding PS5 pre-orders, reminded all of the September 22 pre-order date and the worldwide launch in 36 countries on November 10, and included a reassurance that Xbox will "let you know the exact time pre-orders start for you soon." This story began after Sony held its PlayStation 5 Showcase event and finally revealed the price and release date for the PS5. While it featured such games as Final Fantasy XVI, a God of War sequel, and Hogwarts Legacy, the presentation made no mention of pre-orders. Interestingly enough, the first we heard of PlayStation 5 pre-orders came after the show via Geoff Keighley, who said "per Sony, #PlayStation5 pre-orders will be available starting TOMORROW at select retailers." A few minutes later, PlayStation confirmed Keighley's Tweet, but gave no further information as to when the pre-orders would go live. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/final-fantasy-16-reveal-trailer"] While many were expecting nothing to happen until tomorrow, pre-orders seemingly went live on Walmart. This was no mistake, as Walmart then Tweeted out "make you wait to get the new #PlayStation5? Nah, that's not like us. Go on, preorder it NOW!" This sent the internet ablaze with many attempting to secure a PlayStation 5 on launch day. GameStop and Target pre-orders then went live, followed by Best Buy and Amazon. Speaking from personal experience, I attempted to secure a PS5 from Best Buy for OVER TWO HOURS before it was claimed to be sold out. In all honesty, the experience of trial and error felt akin to what I imagine a Bloodborne 2 would be like on PS5, well... without the hard-fought victory at the end. To make matters even more confusing, PlayStation sent out e-mails to those who signed up for a chance to pre-order a PS5 directly from Sony. Its unclear why certain people were chosen over others, as all PlayStation said was that its selection would be "based on previous interests and PlayStation activities." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-game-and-announcement-featured-in-the-playstation-5-showcase-event&captions=true"] As of writing, PlayStation has yet to comment on tonight's events, but it does go against its previous comments that promised PS5 pre-orders would not be a surprise. Hopefully, we will hear more of a set plan for PlayStation 5 pre-orders in the coming hours, and we will keep our 'where to pre-order PS5 guide' up-to-date with all you need to know to secure your new console!

Nintendo has officially ended production of the Nintendo 3DS family of systems after 10 years. As first reported by Japanese Nintendo, the confirmation has appeared on both Nintendo Japanese's website and the Nintendo 3DS UK page, bringing an end to the story of the handheld system that has sold more than 75.87 million units. Nintendo America's 3DS page now just simply redirects to the home page. The Nintendo 3DS was first released in 2011 at $250 and was able to display stereoscopic 3D to the player without the need of 3D glasses. It launched with games like Pilotwings Resort, Steel Diver, and Nintendogs + Cats, and new services like StreetPass and SpotPass, but it didn't quite hit the mark at the start. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/03/30/top-25-nintendo-3ds-games-spring-2017-update"] In our review of the original Nintendo 3DS, we said "The 3DS is truly a remarkable device and a compelling expansion to Nintendo's handheld gaming platform, but it is far from perfect. Though the 3D experience has its moments of absolute brilliance, it can be short-lived due to the imprecise nature of glasses-free 3D technology, with distortion, ghosting, and user discomfort." Less than six months after the Nintendo 3DS' launch, Nintendo dropped the price from $250 to $169, and offered those who had already purchased a 3DS the Ambassador Program which included 10 NES and 10 Gameboy Advance games. The Nintendo 3DS saw multiple redesigns, including the New Nintendo 3DS, the New Nintendo 3DS XL, the Nintendo 2DS, and the New Nintendo 2DS XL. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=a-history-of-nintendo-hardware-1977-to-now&captions=true"] We've ranked our 25 Best Nintendo 3DS Games, and our list is led by Pokemon Sun & Moon, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Super Mario 3D Land, Fire Emblem Awakening, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. The Nintendo 3DS and Wii U were the final two systems that had Nintendo co-developing for each. With the release of the Switch in 2017, Nintendo focused its home console and handheld development into one system. [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us?

Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond VR will be released on the Oculus Rift on December 11, 2020. Announced at Facebook Connect, Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond will launch simultaneously on the Oculus Store and on Steam with full SteamVR and cross-play support. While you may not be able to "storm the beaches of Normandy, aid the French Resistance, and liberate Europe" on the Oculus Quest by itself, you will be able to jump into Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond via Oculus Link. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/08/27/medal-of-honor-above-and-beyond-vr-story-trailer"] Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond was announced in 2019 and is being developed by Apex Legends and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order's Respawn Entertainment. This VR WWII first-person shooter is made up of three acts that will take up to 10-12 hours to complete. There will also be unlockable real-world WWII content, which includes interviews with WWII veterans who were taken back to Europe and to the "exact place where their most memorable war moment took place." Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond's release date was announced alongside the Oculus Quest 2, new VR Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell games, Myst VR, and much more. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=oculus-quest-2&captions=true"] In our review of the Oculus Quest 2, which will be released on October 13, 2020, we said "improves over its predecessor in a lot of little ways, with a few small drawbacks like the enlarged controllers and cheaper strap. But its wireless nature, ease of use, and accessible price still make it a killer VR headset." [poilib element="accentDivider"] Have a tip for us? Want to discuss a possible story?

Oculus has announced that Myst VR will be headed to the Oculus Quest platform later this year. Myst VR will let players experience "a fresh take on their Myst experience from 1993." It is being built from the ground up for VR and this "reimagined version of the classic puzzle game features updated art and interactions - and even an optional puzzle randomizer."

Gear up for an adventure—the classic PC game, Myst, is coming to #OculusQuest. Learn about the reimagined classic from @cyanworlds and more from #FBConnect on our blog: https://t.co/YUwfNeAW13 pic.twitter.com/cH2lneYJxD

Myst VR is being developed by Cyan Worlds, the indie studio that created the original Myst. The return of Myst in VR was announced at yesterday's Facebook Connect, an event that revealed the Oculus Quest 2, new VR Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell games, and much more. The Oculus Quest 2 will be shipping out on October 13, 2020, and features a more powerful Qualcomm XR2 VR-optimized processor and a higher resolution (nearly 2K per eye). The Oculus Quest 2 will cost $300 for the 64GB model and $400 for the 256GB model. These are a full $100 cheaper than the original Quest's pricing.

Sony has started sending out the invitations to those who signed up for a chance to preorder a PS5 directly from PlayStation, letting them know that they can secure one PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition beginning this Friday, September 18. IGN's Wesley LeBlanc received one of these golden ticket e-mails, and the instructions say that the recipients are given a unique URL that is "not meant to be shared with anyone else." Beginning on Friday, September 18 at 10am PT, clicking on the URL will take them to a waiting room. Once its "your turn, you'll get access to complete your PS5 Console Pre-Order Reservation!" Sony warns that if a URL is shared and others attempt to use it "you may be locked out of the order system." Furthermore, the invite is only valid through "9:59am PT, Saturday 9/19, or while supplies last." Last month, Sony opened up a PS5 Direct Pre-Orders page on PlayStation's website, and it asked those interested to sign up for a chance to "be one of the first to pre-order your PS5 console from PlayStation." It didn't give much more details on how the lucky few would be chosen besides stating that its "selection is based on previous interests and PlayStation activities." [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/god-of-war-ragnarok-teaser-trailer"] Following the PlayStation 5 Showcase event that revealed the PS5's price and release date, Final Fantasy XVI, the sequel to 2018's God of War, and Hogwarts Legacy, Sony began sending out invites by e-mail. For those who haven't received an invitation, Sony said pre-orders would go live on September 17, yet many retailers have already opened up their preorders. We will keep our Where to Preorder PS5 guide up-to-date with everything you need to know to secure your next-gen console!

The retail boxes for both the PS5 and PS5 Digital Edition have been revealed, and they give a glimpse of what two of the hottest items this holiday season will look like on store shelves and/or on your front door. The retail boxes were shown on the PS5 and PS5 Digitial Edition's Amazon listings, and they look very similar. The PS5's box is mostly white, and shows the console, the DualSense, and that this new next-gen system is capable of 8K, 4K/120 FPS, and HDR. The PS5 Digital Edition, on the other hand, will arrive in a mostly black box. The main differences are the lack of disc drive on the console, and the words "DISC-FREE Console" on the top right. These boxes follow the unveiling of Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S' retail boxes and the PlayStation 5 Showcase event that revealed the price and release date of the PS5, Final Fantasy XVI, the sequel to 2018's God of War, Hogwarts Legacy and so much more. For those interested in preordering the PS5 or PS5 Digital Edition, Sony has said that preorders would go live later today at select retailers. However, Walmart, Amazon, Gamestop, Target, and Best Buy have already opened them up early. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/09/16/final-fantasy-16-reveal-trailer"] Stock is going in and out, so be sure to check out our Where to Preorder PS5 guide to stay up to date with all the info to help you secure your next-gen console!
