- Analogue NT, the worst Nostalgic NES ever created (AKA RIP OFF)

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

Lately we always see new consoles but here comes a rather interesting idea, wouldn't we love to see an old console be revitalized. Analog NT does just that and redesigns the original concept of the NES; but let us explain why this one Retro Gaming System you should Pass on.

For years NES has brought more than just entertainment for everybody, it introduced many children to a new world and experience with amazing heroes, failures and stories. To anyone a redesign of this console would be pretty much the most amazing thing ever created but let me tell you why this isn't the one that you would be looking for. 

Pretty much the main issue with this console is that it's literally just a NES in an aluminum body. The console doesn't include controllers or neither does it have any preloaded games. The highlight point is that it upscales to 720p or 1080p but honestly the blur in the game looks better than a giant pixelated screen. It includes OEM parts supposedly for the console which I highly doubt, but it's what they state. So what's wrong with it? Well it exchanges anything that brought Nostalgia to the original NES and personally it's like a plastic surgery; Full of Lies and down right disgusting.


I'm not here to just hate, but for that the cost ($500) they are pricing this you might as well as buy a Xi3 and download ROMs or a NES cartridge adapter. Either way you will be able to do more than just play NES and Favicom games. Finally let me tell you the honest opinion we have overall of this product, It's pretty much taking advantage of peoples Nostalgia, plus whoever would pay such a high price of $500 (Pretty much same as an iPad including the out aluminum shell. An iPads specs are also hundreds times better) is pretty much out of their mind. Why not just buy a  NES and refurbish it yourself? It will have more Nostalgia than this paper weight. Overall the cost for the production doesn't necessarily add up....

(Their controllers should get more praise, they are officially Refurbished with the original OEM parts)

- Deep Look into Nintendo's Mario Kart 8, could this be Nintendo's next big hit?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As Mario kart 8's tracks go live we learn more about what Nintendo is actually trying to do now.

Nintendo has recently been trying to promote their latest game by discussing and showing the tracks from Mario kart 8. Since they're not planning to do any big announcements during E3 this year they're trying to reach their audience in a different way. One of these ways is that they're promoting both Mario kart 8 as previously stated and they're trying to promote Super Smash Brothers for Wii U and 3DS. Along with showing the roster of characters that will be included in the new Super Smash Bros, they're also showing the new Mario Kart 8 tracks and songs that will accompany them. They not only claimed but showed and proved that most of the songs (if not all) were recorded live.

In most cases Games simply show what the game is about but Nintendo's trying to show every angle of one of their top games in order to encourage customers to buy it. This is where Nintendo can probably shine the best because as of late they haven't been bring in good sales, so perhaps now they can prove to their shareholders that even their top games can still bring in some good revenue.

Now let's talk about Mario Kart 8, Mario kart 8 so far looks extremely well polished at any angle and the way the stages are designed and how they look clearly show that this is the next iteration of the Mario kart series. During Nintendo Direct they showed many of the tracks and many of them have very high textures and also have many 3-D objects running all at the same time aside from just the racers. Mario kart 8 is definitely showing the power that Wii U has over the original Nintendo Wii. They also have to sort of make up for it because the Nintendo Wii U isn't backwards compatible with the GameCube anymore.

Nonetheless Nintendo can hopefully still prove that their games can be AAA quality to date like they were in the past. It also seems that whether it's in the music, in the design, or in Game Concepts; Nintendo can still put well polished games out there standing aside next to games like Halo and Call of Duty which don't bring family-friendly entertainment.

- Samsung Galaxy K Zoom has everything but comfort

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

UPDATE: No plans for US release and our rating consist of official product releases the one we obtained was a product display, showing most of its functionality but wasn't ready for consumer use.

Let me start by saying this isn't a terrible phone but at this moment a smartphone is thing that is light, easy to use and compact. Each of these categories slightly push this "Point and Shoot... Phone" to the borderline of what it means to be a Smartphone.

Now like we previously had said the phone isn't bad and instead actually feels good in the hand and feels like any other smartphone but it's bulky design and slightly heavier weight compared to the other smartphones adds some main issue to this "phone". A obvious positive note is that the Samsung Galaxy K Zoom offers 10x optical zoom, optical image stabilization, Xenon flash, and completes the package with an impressive 20 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor.

In case you were wondering this phone is aiming its guns towards the impressive Nokia Lumia 1020 however the lens on the Galaxy K Zoom isn't bigger than it so they are depending software wise [meaning Android]. Also this is much improved from its predecessor [below].

- Super Smash Bros being demoed at Best Buys and Nintendo's E3 announcements

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is coming around the corner and will be taking place in Los Angeles on June 10 through June 12. Each E3 brings forth the latest in gaming as well as announcements from the largest players in the industry such as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo.

However this year Nintendo is mixing things up a bit and will instead do a live-streamed press conference focused on the people in attendance. This style event will be called "Nintendo Digital Event"[clever], they say this is a new format to display their next involvements in the upcoming years. They have also stated that there would be a tournament held in the Nokia Theater in LA and live demos at their booth.

Here's the best part apparently anyone can try out the new Super Smash Bros. at their local Best Buy and this event is being called "Smash-Fest". This is not only great for those who have been waiting for the game but a great way to showcase one of the best titles that Nintendo owns for their current platform and hopefully reach new sales. As we have previously mentioned Nintendo sales have been fluctuating up and down recently so this announcement/event plus the soon to be released Mario Kart 8 bundle can really bring Nintendo some decent sales[aka customers].

- Nintendo getting desperate for sales?

Overclockers Xbox One price now £299, as Nintendo announce Mario Kart 8 bundle
*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As many of us are aware Nintendo has been going through some pretty tough times, every time their sales go slightly up they fall even more lower in the coming weeks.



As of late, to counter their falling stocks they have two Mark Kart Bundles coming out fairly soon as well as for the first time ever "DLC passes". The DLC passes will be for the upcoming Mario Golf game for the 3DS because we all know how fun Golf is.

The limited edition version of the game - for those that already have a Wii U (yes, both of you)

(Game Bundle [without console])


Many of these strategies for the company are to hopefully attract users with affordability and extras like T-shirts but the make-over that Nintendo needs is beyond that at this point. Many consoles have loads of games with DLC, so let's hope perhaps Mario Kart has DLC as well to see further support on the game which could also benefit Nintendo.

- Renting games on PlayStation Now for free but it's in Beta

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

It has been clearly spotted around the internet that PlayStation is currently testing Video Game rentals, it was previously noted that prices would vary but showed prices such as $5-$8. One of the issues is if this the price for the 7-Day or 30-Day rental because renting movies at RedBox is $2 a day and this can end their success is it's really affordable.

It's something Sony might be pushing out soon but they haven't yet officially announced anything via their cloud-stream gaming service PlayStation Now.
