Researchers have that found that 3D printers spew tiny particles into the air as they operate, though the quantity and nature of these potentially toxic aerosols are poorly understood. A new study identifies a startling variety of these emissions, and the conditions under which they’re produced.
Consoles these days wear more than one hat, where they are designed to be more than just a device for gaming. Instead they come with various entertainment and social features, like being able to stream movies, chat with friends, and so on. This is why Netflix on the Nintendo Wii made sense.
Unfortunately for users out there who still own the Wii and use it to stream Netflix, you might want to start looking at alternatives. This is because according to Netflix, they have announced that they will be ending support for the app on the Wii console. “Nintendo has announced that it will close the Wii Shop Channel on the Nintendo Wii in 2019. As a result, all video streaming services on Wii, including the Netflix Channel, are no longer available to new members as of July 31, 2018. Nintendo Wii U users are not impacted by this change.”
At the moment Netflix isn’t available on the Nintendo Switch, although the company has stated that they are “exploring” such a possibility. We’re not sure why it hasn’t launched on the Switch despite being available for the Wii, although for those who want video streaming, Hulu is one of the options available, although YouTube for the Switch has also been recently launched.
That being said, it’s not surprising that Netflix is ending support for the Wii. The console’s production has ended a long time ago and it doesn’t make sense for them to keep supporting a console that isn’t being used that much anymore.

After being available overseas, Mario fans waiting for Super Mario Party and Nintendo Switch Joy-Con bundle to hit the States can finally order it on Amazon. The bundle gives you a copy of the game and some bright neon green and yellow Joy-Con controllers. They may not have images of the characters on them, but this is still a pretty cool and unique color combo that gamers should love.
You’ll be glad to have an extra pair of Joy-Cons for playing the game with friends too, since it only supports unattached Joy-Cons. The bundle sells for $99.99 and will ship on November 16th. If you bought the game and Joy-Cons separately it would cost you an extra $27, so you’ll be saving some money. It would have been nice if the bundle had been available when Super Mario Party launched last month, but at least it is here now.
You’ll want to grab this while you can because I’m sure it won’t take long to sell out. Super Mario Party is always a lot of fun to play with friends and family. The party never truly gets started until you fire up this game.

A new toy, “Forky,” makes its debut in the teaser trailer.
According to a patent application continuation filed in 2017 and published recently, Sony may have tentative plans to build out a touchscreen-equipped PlayStation controller.
Whether the value added from having a touchscreen right on the controller will be worth the added cost is not yet clear.
Right now, PlayStation controllers have a touch-enabled center button that allows users to navigate through menus and other activities with a touch-based interface. The center button also lets gamers access more information, such as game stats, when clicked.
This patent application also leaves us wondering what type of content might be displayed on the touchscreen. As you can imagine, controller content could include in-game information that is usually shown on a heads-up display on the main screen.
However, it’s far more likely that a touchscreen-equipped PlayStation controller would offer a new interface for console-based information and actions, such as sharing a video broadcast or dealing with incoming invites and friend requests.
Interestingly, Nintendo’s own experiment with a touchscreen-enabled controller failed miserably. Remember the Wii U? Nintendo eventually corrected the mistake with the launch of the Switch, which has found its place among casual gamers as a sort of hybrid console and sold more than 20 million units since launch.
Of course, Sony’s touchscreen controller is nothing more than a patent application for now, so there’s a solid chance that the same controllers we’ve grown to know and love ship alongside the next-gen PlayStation with no update to be seen. But just in case someone at Sony decides to get inventive, the patent is in place for the company to start thinking about touchscreen controllers.
Reports suggest that the next-generation Sony console could arrive as early as 2019 or as late as 2021.
