Pokémon Masters on mobile turns collecting pokémon into a microtransaction

Since Nintendo properties started expanding to mobile devices four years ago, we've seen a number of uncharacteristic experiments, including games branded with popular flagship characters that are nonetheless filled to the brim with microtransactions. And Pokémon Masters, the latest mobile title in the monster-capturing franchise announced last month, is no exception.

The game is developed by Japanese mobile powerhouse DeNA, the same company that helped Nintendo develop mobile versions for popular franchises like Super Mario, Animal Crossing, and Mario Kart. And for the first time, this is a Nintendo-affiliated title that's being published by DeNA, and not by Nintendo itself. (The company's representative was quick to point out that...

Nintendo will reportedly fix Joy-Con drift for free, even out of warranty

If your Nintendo Switch joysticks are becoming unreliable, pointing your game in random directions even if you haven't physically pushed them that way, you may be experiencing "Joy-Con Drift." And though Nintendo hasn't officially admitted to a defect, the company is now quietly repairing the controllers free of charge, according to Vice News.

Vice says it's obtained an internal Nintendo memo that not only instructs the company's customer service division to repair those controllers for free, but even issue refunds for previous repairs, all without needing to prove that you actually purchased a Switch and have a valid warranty.

If true, the no-questions-asked refund would be a pretty clear sign that Nintendo's copping to the issue — but...

Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft petition FCC for super-fast Wi-Fi tethering

It's rare to see Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, HP, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, and Marvell all on the same side of the aisle, but there's at least one place they publicly agree: they want chips and devices that freely take advantage of a new frontier in Wi-Fi, without pesky licensing or regulatory restrictions — and they're telling the FCC they'll need it to bring next-gen AR/VR glasses and data tethering to you.

First, some context. Traditionally, Wi-Fi has been built on top of unlicensed 2.4GHz and 5GHz spectrum, but late last year the FCC unanimously approved opening up the 6GHz band for unlicensed activity as well, providing a huge 1,200MHz chunk of wireless real estate for all manner of devices to...

Google’s Nest Hub Max will be released on September 9th

Google's largest smart display yet, the Nest Hub Max, will launch on September 9th in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. The Hub Max was announced back at Google I/O, which was also where Google formally announced that it would rebrand its smart home products under the Nest name.

The $229 device has a 10-inch display — significantly bigger than the existing Nest Hub. Like that product, the Max automatically adjusts its screen's white balance to give the illusion that you're looking at printed paper whenever your photos are being displayed. You can watch YouTube, pull up recipes, stream TV from YouTube TV, and control your smart home gadgets with the Hub, among other things. Personally, I think the 10-inch size should...

A sleep expert talks insomnia, dreams, and the neuroscience of slumber

Sleep usually leaves people feeling rested and refreshed, but for the patients of clinical neurologist Guy Leschziner, their non-waking moments are generally anything but peaceful. One realizes that she's been taking her motorcycle out for a ride while fast asleep only after her landlady asks her where she went. Another moves around in his sleep, acting out his dreams — and terrifying his partner in the process. Still others suffer from insomnia, sleep deprivation, and night terrors.

Leschziner describes their cases and how they inform the growing world of sleep research in his recent book, The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience, and the Secret World of Sleep. "These cases are interesting in two separate ways — the first is just...

Snap adds 13 million daily active users as it gets serious about global expansion

Snap continues to rebound, adding 13 million daily active users to Snapchat this past quarter. Those added users bring the total number of people using the app around the world every day to 203 million, which is the highest it's been since Snap went public. The growth indicates that Snap's investment in product features for a more global user base is paying off and that its luck in creating viral face filters is helping it grow, too. Snap estimates that between 7 and 9 million users joined because of the face filters with the remaining 4 to 6 million users being attributable to the company's broader product focuses.

Last quarter, it released an updated, optimized version of its Android app after years of Android users complaining about a...

After months of heightened tech scrutiny from both Republicans and Democrats, the Justice Department is opening a new antitrust investigation into large tech firms like Facebook, Amazon, and Google.

"Without the discipline of meaningful market-based competition, digital platforms may act in ways that are not responsive to consumer demands," said Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim of the Antitrust Division. "The Department's antitrust review will explore these important issues."

The investigation will address broad concerns over whether Big Tech is stifling competition, and will be separate from the department's probes of Google and Apple that were reported earlier this summer and are intended to take a closer look at individual...

Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 will reportedly include ultra-fast wired and wireless charging

As we get closer to Samsung's August 7th event for the Galaxy Note 10 and larger Note 10 Plus, more details and photos of the devices continue to make their way out. The latest development is images and specs for the larger Plus model, posted by WinFuture. These largely line up with what's been reported previously: the Note 10 Plus will feature a 6.8-inch display but in a form factor similar to that of today's Galaxy Note 9. Samsung's progress with shrinking bezels and a more efficient design have allowed for a bigger screen that hopefully won't be an unbearable strain on your hands.

One difference between the Note 10 and Note 10 Plus is that only the latter will include a microSD slot, according to WinFuture's report. Neither will...

The newest iPhone Pokémon game, Rumble Rush, is impossible to lose

Posted: 23 Jul 2019 01:46 PM PDT

The Pokémon Company is expanding its selection of mobile games with a new title out today called Pokémon Rumble Rush. Like past Pokémon Rumble games, it's a simplified version of even the easiest pokémon battle: you tap or hold the phone's screen to initiate attacks in linear dungeons that typically clock in under a minute. It's a low-stakes beat 'em up that's as forgettable as it is easy to play.

Rumble Rush was soft-launched on Android back in May, but this release marks its arrival on iOS. It's a straightforward premise. You control a single pokémon as it forges ahead through a straight-shot level. Defeating waves of oncoming hostile pokémon will net you rewards like a capture or loot. With each new pokémon, you have a better chance...

Starbucks to expand its delivery program across the US through Uber Eats

Starbucks is aiming to expand its delivery service nationwide by early 2020 by partnering exclusively with Uber Eats. The two companies first piloted the Starbucks Delivers program last fall in Miami, and have since expanded to 11 markets in the US. According to a press release, Starbucks and Uber Eats will also collaborate on "innovation and technology integration," though it's unclear exactly what that entails.

Currently, Uber Eats charges a $2.49 booking fee for Starbucks delivery orders, and handles all the logistics of placing your order, picking it up, and bringing it to your door. Because orders must be made through the Uber Eats app, Starbucks customers can't yet earn reward points. If they want reward points, they'll have to...
