The smart speaker trend started with Amazon’s Echo, and now includes Google Home and Apple HomePod, but it could get a lot more crowded thanks to Qualcomm. It has just unveiled a reference “smart audio” design, including microphone, speaker and voice…

We know that there are many, many gamers who are looking forward to the time when Nintendo announces Pokemon for the Switch. So far we’ve come pretty close with Pokken Tournament DX, but it seems that Nintendo was waiting for the Nintendo Direct event to reveal what gamers have been asking for because the company has announced that a new core Pokemon RPG is in the works for the Switch.

Details about this Pokemon RPG are scarce at the moment, but this seems to be in line with the earlier rumors that there would be a core Pokemon game that is being developed for the Switch. According to the announcement, this will be a “core Pokemon RPG”, so if you enjoyed the Pokemon titles on handheld consoles like the 3DS, this is pretty great news!

As IGN points out, GameFreak’s co-founder Junichi Masuda had stated back in 2011 that the core Pokemon series would always be released for handheld hardware, but he did leave it open to bring it onto future devices that were more portable, and the Switch seems like a pretty great example of that.

Unfortunately for gamers who are excited by this news and wouldn’t mind getting their hands on the title, it has been revealed that the game is still in the works and is more than a year away from being released, which means that gamers will have to remain very, very patient until then.

We have to admit that when the Nintendo Switch was launched, we were surprised that Mario was not among the launch titles. Instead the biggest name that was launched with the console was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which on hindsight was a pretty great choice as it did score fantastic reviews.

However Nintendo wasted no time in unveiling a Mario game in the form of Super Mario Odyssey earlier this year. No release date was mentioned at the time of the reveal, until now where during the Nintendo Direct presentation, the company finally revealed that the game will be released on the 27th of October, 2017.

Together with the announcement of the release date, Nintendo also released a new trailer for the game that shows off more of what we can expect. Super Mario Odyssey is definitely not your typical Super Mario game, and seems to combine more “real world” elements compared to before, although for the most part it is still Mario.

It also appears that there will be new mechanics, like how Mario can use hit hat to attack enemies, or how he can throw his hat onto objects or characters to “possess” them. So far initial impressions have been great, so mark down the 27th of October on your calendars if this sounds like a game you wouldn’t mind getting.

With video game franchises, Metroid is one of the classics out there today and over the years without fail we’ve seen how Nintendo has tried to keep the franchise alive by including Samus in games like Super Smash Bros. Now it looks like fans of Metroid have something to look forward to in Metroid Prime 4.

Yup it looks like during the Nintendo Direct presentation at E3 2017, the company officially announced a new Metroid game that would be coming to the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately details are next to nothing because during the teaser of the game, all we got was a logo. In fact we don’t even know the studio behind the development, although the report by Kotaku notes that it is being led by Metroid Prime series director Kensuke Tanabe with a “talented new development team.”

This seems to suggest that Retro Studios will not be the developer behind the upcoming game. As for a release date, unfortunately that’s still pretty much a mystery as well as there was no mention of that. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too long, but the fact that we don’t even have a rough timeframe means that fans can probably forget about seeing it this year. In any case it is pretty exciting news and we’ll be keeping an eye out for more details when available.

Cold brew coffee seems to be the caffeinated iced beverage of choice these days in the U.S. Starbucks has put it on its menu, and Dunkin’ Donuts has, too. And even though cold brew contains less caffeine than regular coffee, folks stateside are still reaching for it.

But that’s not true around the world. In fact, the rest of the world is drinking their iced coffee in all sorts of delicious ways. Some countries even use instant coffee to make theirs ― ahem, Greece ― and it’s better than you can imagine.
