In this week's Gaming Fun Fact we explore the GBA eReader, originally released in Japan in 2001 and then later in North America in 2002, the eReader was able to read cards that a player would swipe just like a credit card.

WB has shut down three of its studios, including Monolith Productions - the creators of FEAR, Middle-Earth, and many more beloved titles. This also comes at the cost of Monolith's upcoming Wonder Woman game that has officially been cancelled. On top of Monolith, WB also shuttered Player First Games, and WB San Diego.

Monster Hunter Wilds has already surpassed over 8 million units sold.
