Today in Gear: Add These Products To Your Wishlist

Microsoft has finally made its 10-year contract with Nintendo official. Late last year the company initially announced it would bring Call of Duty to Nintendo if its Activision Blizzard acquisition went through. Under the new deal, Nintendo users will be granted the same CoD access Xbox fans have enjoyed for years. This means both parties will be able to access new features, content and gameplay on the same days – but this all remains contingent on Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard. At this point, the deal is still extremely uncertain, and the US Federal Trade Commission has even sued to block the takeover. As a result, fans will have to wait to see what happens, but who can really bear to block another win for Nintendo?

Today we’re taking a look at the latest CasiOak, the Cadillac 2024 XT4 and The James Brand’s newest fix blade. This is Today in Gear.
