A recent patent from Nintendo has revealed that the company has plans for making a Game Boy-like casing for touchscreen devices, most likely smart-phones.

From the images we can see that the current plans for the Game Boy casing are buttons placed on top of the devices touchscreen. These buttons will correspond to the screen below the buttons and input the desired key presses through a conductive sheet with nubs beneath the buttons. The nubs will act as if the user is pressing the screen with their finger thus giving seamless control for the user.

It should also be noted that Nintendo were very specific to say that this Game Boy casing is not just going to be used for smart-phones. According to the patent, the casing "may be attached to other electronic equipment such as a tablet terminal that does not have a telephone function." This means that Nintendo could have plans for bringing the Game Boy casing to tablets and maybe even the Nintendo Switch as well. The patent was official filed on March 16, 2018. As soon as there is further information regarding the case I will be sure to update you.

NVIDIA has released their new GeForce 416.16 WHQL drivers, a new set of drivers that the company says offers the "optimal experience" for Microsoft's new Windows 10 October Update that ushers in the DXR (DirectX Raytracing) API. You can grab the new GeForce 416.16 drivers right here.

The new GeForce 416.16 drivers also include optimizations for games as well as improved or added SLI profiles. Battlefield V is included in the list so you can be sure I'll be putting our GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards in NVLink under some pressure when DICE releases their game next month. The Game Ready side of these new GeForce 416.16 drivers is the Windows 10 October Update side of things, while we have new/updated SLI profiles for the following games:

If you've got $15,000 burning a hole in your pocket then you could look at pre-ordering Samsung's massive 85-inch 8K TV. The new 85-inch Q900 is up for pre-order before it begins shipping to customers on October 28.

There isn't much native 8K content but 4K content will look just as good on the huge 8K TV, while there are some videos on YouTube that stream in their native 7680x4320 resolution they're few and far between. In my personal testing of NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards in NVLink, it is enough to drive games at 8K 60FPS if you drop a couple of the visual details down. I'm having no issues hitting 50FPS average with two of them in NVLink in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider.

Still, if you want one of the best TVs on the market... you know where to sign your life away.

Dell has just announced the new Alienware m15, the latest in their growing line up for super-powered gaming notebooks with the new Alienware m15 being the smallest 15-inch gaming notebook Dell has ever made.

The new Alienware m15 can be configured with either an Intel Core i5-8500H or Core i7-8750H, with Dell offering an overclocked GeForce GTX 1060 or a higher-end GTX 1070 Max-Q. There will be a few different LCD configurations with 1080p 60Hz display with a TN panel while an IPS panel powers the 1080p 144Hz version of the Alienware m15 laptop. Dell will also offer a 4K 60Hz IPS panel, but none of them support G-Sync unfortunately.

Inside, there's up to 16GB of DDR4 RAM, dual storage options for a 1TB SSD and 1TB HDD. There's also Gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0 Type-A ports, Thunderbolt 3, HDMI 2.0 and even mini DisplayPort 1.3 connectivity.

Remedy's new game Control gives players lots to look forward to, including a uniquely dynamic sandbox playground.

One of the most interesting things about Control is its glitchy look and feel. In the oldest house in America, things are quite off: the environments constantly shift into madcap disarray, reminding one of an M.C. Escher painting gone wild. One is reminded of Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits, and other themes and tropes all thrown into a blender and spiced up with Remedy's original flair. The walls shimmer and morph, the ground turns sideways, and players can manipulate physics and reality itself using powers acquired on their supernatural journey.

Nintendo is currently developing a new Switch system for release in 2019, The Wall Street Journal reports, and it may be a successor to the 3DS handheld.

Playing games on-the-go is a major selling point of Nintendo's Switch handheld-console hybrid. The console, whose marketing promised users can "play with anyone, anywhere" by combining functionalities of a 3DS and Wii U, has sold 19.76 million units worldwide as of June 30 and shows no signs of stopping. As a result Nintendo has consolidated its handheld and dedicated gaming branches into one to plan for the unified system's future, which may include a revised handheld-only option to phase out its 3DS line.

Nintendo plans to launch a refreshed Switch system in 2019, likely during the company's Fiscal Year 2020 ending March 31, 2020. Key sources have told WSJ's Takashi Mochizuki that the system may have upgrades over the current model's 720p LCD screen. But this might not be the only change. Industry analysts predict that Nintendo will release a handheld-only Switch Mini option in 2019 aimed specifically at younger demographics.

Nintendo has been rumored for a while now to refresh the hardware inside of the super-popular Switch handheld, and now the Wall Street Journal is putting its weight behind a new rumor.

The outlet is reporting that updated hardware is on its way into a refreshed Switch, something Nintendo is planning for 2019. We should expect an improved LCD screen, beefed up internals in a refreshed SoC (smaller node) and more. Nintendo could include a bigger or improved battery, make it weigh less, and tweak a few little things here and there and keep everyone happy without making it a full successor to the Switch.

There is always room for improvement and that's something Nintendo will take seriously into the Switch, because when you think of the Nintendo 3DS and then the follow through with the 3DS XL, 3DS/XL, then the 2DS and 2DS XL you can see where Nintendo could take the Switch.

Mega Man fans are going to be over the moon to know that they favorite blue hero is coming to the big screen in the form of a live action movie.
