Samsung is the largest Android OEM and, depending on who you ask, either the first or second biggest smartphone maker/seller. Despite the strong numbers, Samsung isn’t exactly regarded as the most-behaved. Except to its avid fans, of course. Among other criticisms, it is notorious for trying to always beat its competitors to market new features, the “here first!” syndrome. Not … Continue reading

According to Fitbit, the company stated that they plan to launch a “family” of smartwatches in 2018, and it looks like they kicked things off with the Fitbit Ionic: adidas Edition. However the device is more or less the same as the Ionic save for the design and a couple of features, but if you want something completely new, you could be in luck.
The folks at Wareable have managed to get their hands on what appears to be an upcoming Fitbit smartwatch. As you can tell this looks considerably different from the Ionic, in which some are arguing that it actually looks better (personal preference). That being said, Wareable has heard that the device in question will be the successor to the Fitbit Blaze, although whether or not it will be continuing the Blaze branding remains to be seen.
However we suppose that’s not a complete stretch given that the design does share some similarities to the Blaze, although the edges are rounder in these leaked renders. Apparently this was designed to make it more appealing to the masses, something that the Ionic failed to do. Once again we suppose this is personal preference, but the general consensus is that the Ionic’s design has left something to be desired.
Wareable’s sources have also told them that the device will be offered in black, silver, rose gold, and charcoal. It is also rumored to be water resistant up to 50m, the same SpO2 sensor on the Ionic, and will also apparently be capable of detecting sleep apnea. Unfortunately the device will not come with GPS, but this is will ultimately result in a smartwatch that is said to be more affordable than the Ionic. Take it with a grain of salt for now as it is anyone’s guess as to when the device will be announced.

When Super Mario Odyssey was announced, it revealed a new and different way that Nintendo had approached its Mario franchise. It proved to be a success where the game sold 2 million copies within its first 3 days of release, and by now we’re sure that many gamers have probably finished the game as well.
The good news is that if you were looking forward to more content and challenges, it seems that Nintendo isn’t completely ruling out the idea of DLCs for the game. Speaking in the latest issue of Game Informer, Super Mario Odyssey producer Yoshiaki Koizumi said that DLCs could be something that Nintendo might consider for the game.
Koizumi stated that the original intention was to create as much content as possible for the main game itself, but at the same time if a cool idea pops up, they wouldn’t mind introducing it to the game via a DLC. “There’s a lot of volume in Super Mario Odyssey. That was a big focus in development: give the player loads to do. We pushed ourselves to create as much as we could. I can’t announce anything specifically today, but of course, if there was a really cool idea for us to do, then we would certainly be thinking about DLC.”
Nintendo isn’t necessarily a company that does a lot of DLCs, but presumably the success of the model for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild might have led Nintendo to rethink it. That being said, Koizumi’s statement isn’t a guarantee that a DLC will arrive, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled should there be one.

Last month Nintendo announced Mario Tennis Aces which is basically a tennis game with characters from the Mario franchise. The company was vague about a release date, only stating that it could launch in the spring of 2018, but it seems that it could be more of a summer launch, according to a listing on Amazon Spain.
According to the listing (via Nintendo Life), Amazon Spain has the game listed for a release on the 22nd of June. This means that this is more of a summer release than a spring one, although given that this is Amazon Spain, there is a chance that the June date could be for Spain or the Latin America market.
It is also possible that the date may simply be a placeholder date, albeit a very specific one. This is versus Amazon US which has the game listed for the 31st of December, 2018. However a summer release means that the game is “later” than what Nintendo had promised, but we’ll have to wait and see. Mario Tennis Aces is not the first Mario tennis game that Nintendo has launched.
Previously the company had titles like Mario Tennis: Power Tour, but clearly this was designed for the Switch in mind where presumably it will take into account the motion sensors inside of the Joy-Cons. In any case take it with a grain of salt but we’ll keep an eye out for a more official release date in the near future.

Just the other day it seemed that Blizzard could be teasing a new Overwatch hero that could be added to the game. Now it looks like the company is back with yet another teaser, although in this case it has provided more clues as to who the new hero could be, which some have speculated could be Torbjorn’s daughter, Brigitte.
This is based on how the image shows schematics for a shield supposedly drawn by Brigitte, which also seems to have been inspired by Reinhardt’s shield. Given that Reinhardt is the godfather of Brigitte, it all seems to tie in together rather nicely, although whether all of this could simply be a red herring remains to be seen.
For example back before Blizzard announced that Orisa will be added to the game, they released a bunch of teasers which suggested that Orisa’s creator, a child genius by the name of Efi Oladele, could be the next hero. Blizzard had also released teasers for heroes such as Doomfist but those failed to pan out (until much later), so we wouldn’t be surprised if this could be something else entirely.
Either way all these teasers seem to be headed towards an official reveal, which hopefully we will hear about soon so check back with us in the near future for more details.
