No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
Microsoft and Nintendo spent this week getting ready for the holiday season by announcing a ton of new system bundles. Microsoft revealed that the Walmart-exclusive version of the 2014 Holiday Bundle would include a blue Xbox 360 console (and copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops II and Call of Duty: Ghosts). But Nintendo went one further by announcing a trio of new 3DS XL bundles including designs based on the classic NES controller, Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, and Super Smash Bros. For 3DS.
Next up, Dan Hobbs has posted a review of Metro Redux for your reading pleasure.
Oh, and in other news, Microsoft may be buying Mojang (creators of Minecraft) and Apple announced the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, and the Apple Watch. Maybe I should have lead with those.
