A lot of fine people said some nice stuff at E3 about Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege . We're more than a month removed from the big show, but Ubi wants to keep those good feelings rollin'. This trailer should serve as an ample reminder in case you've forgotten, or in the event that you haven't seen a friendly neighborhood hostage crisis yet today.
Samsung's 4K monitor is the early winner in the 4K monitor wars, and this price is unprecedented. Considering a 4K display has the same number of pixels as four 1080p monitors, this is actually an insanely reasonable price-per-pixel. [Samsung 4K Monitor, $530]
You know, I didn't think about framerate or resolution once when I got to play The Order 1886 yesterday. What I did think was that it felt like playing through an old Cinemascope movie. With at least one very cool signature weapon.
Well, this is disappointing. Although Nintendo used to release cool products like hats and statues for its Club Nintendo Platinum members, this year it's all digital. Yep, both the Platinum and Gold ranks are digital-only, with no physical reward options in sight.
If you're Platinum, you can choose between Game & Wario, NES Remix, EarthBound, Dr. Luigi, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, Fluidity: Spin Cycle, Dillon's Rolling Western, and Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move.
You'll also be able to choose a Gold level option if you're Platinum, including Ice Climber, Kid Icarus, Super Mario Bros., Zelda II, Donkey Kong 3, Wario Land 2, Metroid, and Super Mario Land 2.
Honestly, Game & Wario and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D are probably the best value (they're both roughly $30 new even now), since they are technically retail games, and everything else is either a download or a Virtual Console title. Still, it's disappointing that there isn't a physical item in there in some form.

If you keep track of our weekly list of new game releases, you'll have noted that Atlus and Ace Team's Abyss Odyssey was one of the highlights of a very sparse week. What the heck is it? Watch and find out.

The two new Shantae games, Half-Genie Hero and The Pirate's Curse , are still in development.
YouTuber Twin Perfect, probably inspired by the unlockable horse in the classic arcade racer Daytona USA, rewrote the lyrics of the memorable soundtrack of the game to include Link's steed, Epona. And he also made an awesome video for it.
