THE FUSE

We’re about to enter the Ship of Theseus phase of Nintendo. The winter gaming showcase season is about to begin. And is there any way to prevent Grand Theft Auto 6 leaks at launch? It’s another edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku‘s daily roundup of gaming news, rumors, and culture. We’re one step closer to lopping off the “Morning” part since it keeps arriving so late. But hey, it’s a snow day in the Mid-Atlantic. Despite the winter wonderland outside, my kids decided to get obsessed with Kingdoms: Two Crowns this weekend. Now instead of building a snowman themselves, they keep looking around for poor villagers who they can pay to do so instead.
