New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced
Nintendo has revealed the New Nintendo 2DS XL, which will arrive in the US on July 28. The new system will have a recommended retail price of USD $150.

Emilia Clarke Says Talking Han Solo Film ‘Scarier’ Than GoT
Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke shared a few words about her involvement in the upcoming Han Solo movie, saying that discussing Disney's upcoming standalone Star Wars film is "even scarier" than HBO's hit fantasy drama.
In an interview with Los Angeles Daily News, Clarke was asked about the Han Solo movie, and while the actress remained tight-lipped on her role, she spoke highly Alden Ehrenreich as young Han Solo. "I genuinely can’t tell you anything other than Alden is magnificent, and it's a delight to do something on that level with really cool actors and nice people. But it's even scarier talking about that than Game of Thrones," she said.
