Earlier this year it was suggested that thanks to a trademark filing, Nintendo could be planning on launching an N64 Classic console. Given that we’ve seen Nintendo release Classic consoles for the past two years, it’s not a stretch to think that this year we might see a new one, and following the NES and SNES Classic, the N64 Classic makes sense.
Of course whether or not that happens remains to be seen, but a recent patent has hinted that it could be true. The patent was filed for a game controller which looks pretty much identical to that of the N64. Considering that Nintendo no longer makes the N64, it doesn’t make sense for them to file a patent for it, unless they were planning on releasing N64 Classic which would use the same controller design.
However the only thing holding it back is that Nintendo has yet to officially announce anything, and we are already in the month of September. This means that Nintendo will probably need to make it official in the next month or two at the latest if they hope to make it available in time for the holiday shopping season.
These Classic re-releases are the rage these days, although in all fairness Nintendo did kind of kick if off with the NES Classic from two years ago. Since then we have seen other companies follow suit, the most recent being Sony with its PlayStation Classic.

We know that Razer already makes several different types of gaming headsets, but in case you’re in the market for a new headset, then you might be interested to learn that Razer has since announced the launch of the Ifrit broadcaster headset, which as the name implies seems to be more geared towards broadcasters.
According to Min-Liang Tan, Razer co-founder and CEO, “With non-gaming live streaming becoming more popular, we designed the Razer Ifrit to appeal to broadcasters who want a lightweight, high-quality solution to their broadcast audio needs. Whether you’re IRL streaming, gaming, painting, cosplay costume building or cooking, the Razer Ifrit is the perfect headset to deliver audio to your viewers without bulky headphones and microphones getting in the way of what you do or what your viewers see.”
The headset has been designed to be light and unobtrusive which makes it easy to be transported and packed while you’re on the go. Given that these are also earbuds and not over/on-ear headphones, it might be preferable for those who prefer earbud style headsets. The headset will also come with the optional Razer USB Audio Enhancer that improves the microphone quality and also allows for dual streaming with two broadcasters at once.
If this sounds like something you might be interested in, the Razer Ifrit will be available priced at $100, while the Razer USB Audio Enhancer will retail for an extra $20.

Earlier this year there were rumors that Facebook was planning on getting into smart speakers as well. Following the success of Amazon and Google, it’s not surprising that Facebook wants a slice of that pie. Now according to a report from Cheddar, Facebook is expected to announce the device next week.
Codenamed “Portal”, this is a device that is more similar to the Amazon Echo Show and Google’s Smart Display lineup, where it will focus on the fact that it has a display and will allow users to make video calls. Facebook had initially planned to launch the device earlier this year, but the company delayed their plans following the fallout from the Cambridge Analytica data scandal, in which it was naturally assumed that the last thing people needed at that time was a set of speakers that was always listening.
Details are scarce, but Cheddar’s report claims that the device will come with privacy features like a shutter that will cover the camera. There will also be the use of AI which will help to identify users in the frame, which can also be used to track them in the room so that users can move around while chatting and not worry about going out of frame.
Take it with a grain of salt for now and check back with us next week for the details. While it has been several months since the data scandal, one has to wonder if Portal will be successful. Facebook has attempted to launch hardware in the past but has not really seen much success, so it will be interesting to see if Portal will change that narrative.
