Nintendo is reportedly readying its own monthly merchandise subscription service

Justin Kahn Jul 30 2015 - 5:26 pm PT

0 Comments

Rumors are popping up all over the internet today that Nintendo might be getting into the subscription merchandise game. Companies like Loot Crate have achieved moderate success with the home delivered gamer/geek merch boxes, and it looks like Nintendo may want in on the action:

While nothing has been confirmed, sources say the “N-Box” will include everything from toys and clothes to other items branded with Nintendo’s beloved characters. You can also expect what sounds like a pretty cool themed crate, if this indeed a real thing. Those interested can opt for a single box or three, six and twelve month subscriptions.

There is an interesting connection here though. Zavvi is also expected to begin shipping its own ZBOX with a choice of Xbox, Sony or Nintendo goodies. The company is owned by a group that operates Nintendo’s official online store. While there may be some confusion between Zaavi’s upcoming Nintendo themed box and the official N-Box, there just is sufficient enough data to know for sure.

One thing is clear, Nintendo fans are hardcore, and I expect that if Nintendo does indeed get into the merchandise crate game, they will be flying off the shelves like the rest of its popular swag. Here’s to hoping we can get mail-ordered amiibo delivered to our front door every month in the future.

2K announces Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Terminator as a playable character for WWE 2K16

Justin Kahn Jul 27 2015 - 4:39 pm PT

0 Comments

Set for release in the fall, WWE 2K16 looks like it will be featuring at least one cameo appearance in the form of a playable character. Much the same as the playable Predator and Jason Voorhees characters in Mortal Kombat X, 2K has tapped the Termintor himself.

Terminator, as portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger, will appear in two different variations in the game: one from the original movie and one from the sequel Judgement Day. While we are yet to see Terminator in the actual game engine, the live action trailer below should hold you over in the mean time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=AZTSahJxT0Q

WWE 2K16 is scheduled for release on October 27th, 2015 for PS4, PS3, Xbox One and Xbox 360. Only thing is, you’ll need to pre-order the game to get your hands on the playable Terminator character. Well, at least until (if) they decide to put him up for sale at a later point.

Make your own miniature 3D printed, Raspberry Pi-powered Game Boy emulator

Justin Kahn Jul 27 2015 - 3:32 pm PT

0 Comments

An interesting 3D printed, raspberry Pi-powered Game Boy emulator has popped up on Thingiverse recently. The DIY project combines the versatility of the small Raspberry Pi computers with some intelligent 3D printing to create what is essentially a mini portable Game Boy/SNES handheld console.

At just 75% the size, it has a much smaller footprint than the original Game Boy, and is just a fraction of the size of the giant Raspberry Pi-powered Game Boy emulator we detailed previously.

Packed with a Raspberry Pi A+, a slightly modded controller set-up (inspired by the SNES), and a 5V smartphone battery pack, the 3D printer files for the case and D-pad are provided on Thingiverse.

While you’ll need a 3D printer, a basic knowledge of the Raspberry Pi universe and a bit of ingenuity, it is possible to put one of these suckers together yourself. The instructions aren’t exactly detailed, but they do provide the necessary 3D printer files and a basic rundown of how to put it together.

Update (7/24 11:40am): This deal is now dead at Amazon, but it is still live at Adorama.

Adorama via Amazon is offering the Sennheiser HD650 Audiophile Dynamic Hi-Fi Stereo Headphones bundled with the Apogee Groove portable USB DAC/headphone amp for $549.99 shipped (matched at Adorama direct). That’s $204 off the current going rate for these items individually and the best price we can find for either. Even at the lowest price we’ve seen for these headphones, you’re saving about $20 more. Apogee’s new Groove DAC has never been on sale before.

The HD650s feature a 10 – 39,500 Hz response, neodymium magnets, and “specially designed acoustic silk to ensure precision damping over the entire frequency range.” They have a 4.7/5 star rating from over 340 Amazon customers.

Apogee has been a leader in DAC technology for many years and its portable Groove solution has seen favorable reviews thus far. You can learn all about it in our announcement post.

If you’ve been waiting for the Groove to go on sale, Amazon is also offering the DAC/headphone amp bundled with other high-end headphones right now from Beyerdynamic as well.

Insert Coin documentary gives a behind-the-scenes look at how Midway owned gaming in the 90’s

Justin Kahn Jul 17 2015 - 6:19 pm PT

0 Comments

It has been a few years now since game developer/publisher Midway disbanded, and even longer since it dominated the attention of gamers the way it did in the 90’s. Some may forget how impactful the company was in the early days of gaming with Mortal Kombat, Smash TV, Cruis’n USA, Terminator 2 and NBA Jam all becoming smash hits in the 90’s. And now game developer/filmmaker, Joshua Tsui, has taken to Kickstarter looking to fund a new documentary to make sure we don’t.

Having worked at Midway himself, it looks as though Tsui will be hitting up some of his contacts from the old days (along what looks some pretty hilarious behind-the-scenes footage) to create his new film: Insert Coin: Inside Midway’s ’90s Revolution.

Described as the “the untold history of the greatest videogame studio of the 90’s”, the film looks pretty interesting:

Insert Coin talks to the developers of each game and lays out how all the games were made and how they connected with each other. Every game had its own unique story about victories, setbacks, and general mayhem. Only someone from the inside can understand the context of events and ask the right questions.

One developer says, “NBA Jam made $1 billion in its first 12 months” in the Kickstarter clip:

One more interesting thing about Joshua Tsui, his face was being used as Sub Zero and Liu Kang in the original games. Tsui says “in fact I think if there was an Asian in a Midway 90’s game, good chance it was me.”

A $15 pledge will net you a digital copy of the film, $30 will get your name in the credits and some bonus footage during production, and for $5,000 you can be in the movie: “YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE in the documentary talking about your memories of Midway Arcade Games of the 90’s.”

Easy, effortless charging for your Apple Watch

Introducing WatchStand, Griffin’s new charging & display dock for Apple Watch.

Designed for bedside, tabletop or desktop use, makes charging your Apple Watch effortless. Just lay your Apple Watch against the angled cradle. Your MagSafe connector’s magnet gently snaps itself onto the back of your Apple Watch and begins charging. Your charging cable is always where you need it and oriented for perfect contact between the MagSafe connector and the back of the watch. Accommodating both semi-flexible and fully flexible bands, WatchStand securely displays and charges your Apple Watch vertically or horizontally for the perfect view.

Extra cord length wraps neatly away in WatchStand’s post, keeping your tabletop uncluttered, and your charge cable from becoming crimped or tangled. The weighted base is shaped to hold your iPhone, with non-skid padding that won’t scratch tabletops.

Your new Apple Watch needs a safe, secure place to charge when you’re not wearing it. Griffin WatchStand delivers.
