Don’t Be Fooled: The Mac App Store Is Full of Scams →

Yeah, once the App Store was a delight to browse, but then things went south fast. There’s just too much crud and fakes, pure scams, all over the App Store. A purge would be more than welcome at this point.

Bullshit: Nintendo NX is omnipotent, has five controllers, and advanced facial scanner, and mows your lawn

Unconfirmed “sources” familiar with the matter has “told” Streakmachine.com that the next Nintendo console will have a whole slew of features that will be excessively speculated about by dedicated armchair quarterbacks all over the world, most with little to no base in reality.

Most of these features revolve around numbers. Big numbers. Small numbers. Portable numbers. Some numbers with decimals, some without. Numbers about transistors, polygons, pixels, and talk of resolutions this and frame rate that.

As is the case in 99% of cases like this, Nintendo, being a real company and obeying real life rules and laws, has declined to comment on any inquiries about any stupid-ass rumor any number of web sites make up to inflate their visitor count.

Ok, this is officially on my “want” list!

Already one year since the passing of Mr. Satoru Iwata. Worthy of sitting down and enjoying a good game, if any day is.

Nintendo Direct 2016-03-03 rumor

Yes, you read that right, I’m commenting on a rumor. Been years since this happened last time, surely?

Anyways, last night N1ntendo.nl publishing a rather interesting exclusive piece of news, which was promptly picked up by every self-respecting Nintendo news and rumor outlet. It’s nothing earth-shattering per se, but it does have one little nugget that piqued my interest in the whole thing.

We might finally be getting SNES support, in a virtual console sense, on the New 3DS. What does this mean, potentially, you might ask? Well, that would mean that Super Metroid, Super Mario RPG, Mega Man X, Super Mario Kart, Super Castlevania IV, and a whole lot more, will be available on the go. Need I point out that I am rather excited about this?

Yes, I realize perfectly well that it might not come to pass, and I’m fine with that. But it would be darn fun if it actually were to happen. Please, Nintendo, make it so!
