Press Start: Destiny's nonexistent gun, Star Citizen's promises and WWE's weird feud

Nintendo said it wouldn't talk about its next console until 2016, but the Wall Street Journal didn't get that memo, leading off an eclectic week in video gaming news.

With developer kits going out for the so-called NX, leaks describe a unit that merges mobile and console experiences, and one that could possibly be released next year. All of that was overshadowed by an incremental update to Destiny that introduced some new dances for Guardians to do — but not a mythological weapon that the super-obsessed have hunted with no luck.

Star Citizen after offering a look at its all-star cast at Citizen Con, revealed new plans for the game's first-person and social modules — but no launch date, naturally. And Call of Duty's studio apologized for impersonating a news agency reporting on unrest in Singapore to promote the game. "It was absolutely not done for any kind of attention in any way," they said, which, of course, is baloney on its face. Why else would they have done it?

Welcome back to Press Start, your recap of the week in news, views, videos, and original reporting to get you ready for the seven days to come.
