Nintendo's new handheld-console Switch hybrid is selling like hotcakes in its native land.

Japanese gamers absolutely love mobile and handheld gaming, so it's no surprise Nintendo's new Switch system is enjoying explosive sales momentum in the Land of the Rising Sun. Since the Nintendo Switch combines a trifecta of today's most popular platforms into one device--handheld, console and even mobile gaming with its 10-point capacitive touchscreen--the device has amazing potential to tap the industry's most lucrative sectors.

As we reported months before the Switch's release, the console-handheld hybrid appeals to Japan's juggernaut gaming presence: smartphone gaming.

DDR5 is coming very soon, with memory standards firm JEDEC saying it will finalize the specs for DDR5 technology in 2018. DDR5 will succeed the current-gen DDR4 RAM, with twice the speed, more power efficiency, and double the density of DDR4.

DDR5 arriving with double the density will be great for the market, as it will offer larger DDR5 kits (say 32GB-128GB) compared to what we have now. DDR5 will most likely drop into servers and high-end workstation/gaming PCs at first, and then it'll filter down to other devices, and even appear in low-power form for laptops and mobile devices.

Palmer Luckey has been in the headlines for years, as the co-founder of the first real VR headset: the Oculus Rift. Luckey has been embroiled in scandals for a while now, and will be officially leaving Facebook, which acquired Oculus a few years ago in a deal worth $2 billion.

UploadVR reports: "Palmer will be dearly missed. Palmer's legacy extends far beyond Oculus. His inventive spirit helped kickstart the modern VR revolution and helped build an industry. We're thankful for everything he did for Oculus and VR and wish him the best".

Luckey hasn't had much luck in the public eye recently, as the two most recent appearances by the Oculus co-founder have been to apologize for his contribution of spreading controversial memes, and then to testify in the legal case between ZeniMax and Oculus. Facebook wouldn't state whether Luckey left voluntarily, so maybe he was removed from the company after all this time.

Cyberpunk 2077 is the biggest game CD Projekt RED has ever tackled. The Polish games juggernaut has several hundred people working on Cyberpunk 2077 right now, and intensive development is underway. But when will we get a release window?

Considering how much effort CDPR is putting into Cyberpunk 2077, it's pretty obvious we won't get a release date--or even a release window--this year. 2017 belongs to a different game: the company's new multi-platform card game, Gwent, which is a strategic release to help bolster revenue and profits in between CD Projekt RED's major triple-A game releases.

"The project is very ambitious," CDPR President Adam Kicinski said about Cyberpunk 2077 during the company's 2016 year financial earnings conference. "You're able to see in our presentation how each game is more successful than the previous one. So the ambitions are very voracious. We would like to devote a lot of attention to Cyberpunk, a lot of efforts over quite some time. But we still need some time for the game to be ready. The Work is ongoing and it's very intense. We know what it's like, we watched the game, but we can't tell you anything. This year will belong to Gwent. This year we will be communicating Gwent."

Following on from the events of the 'Planet of the Apes' prequels 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and its follow-up 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes', the third entry 'War for the Planet of the Apes' is set to bridge the gap a little closer to the 1967 original. 20th Century Fox has today released a new trailer for the upcoming feature which gives us the best look yet.

Andy Serkis dons a motion capture suit for the third time to play Caesar , the fearless ape leader who spearheaded the rebellion against the humans, which ultimately led to our downfall. Woody Harrelson joins for a new role as a ruthless army veteran who commands the last vestiges of humanity's forces.

'War for the Planet of the Apes' is set to hit 3D, 2D and IMAX screens worldwide from July 14.

Destiny 2 is officially coming to PC for the first time, and now we have a fresh batch of story details to fill you in on Bungie's upcoming online FPS sequel.

We know that Destiny 2 will be a complete fresh start for gamers, and none of your old characters, loot or content will transfer over. The storyline will also be a fresh start, and focuses on the fall of the Guardian's Tower and the Last City in the solar system. Activision has released a new fact sheet for Destiny 2 which reveals a slew of new info about the game.

The fact sheet promises that Destiny 2 will have a "dramatic, cinematic, compelling, and immersive story and fresh beginning" for all players, along with "relataable characters,." These sentiments echo Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg's promises of "great new stories and characters."

SpaceX just made history. Again. They have just successfully launched and landed an already used Falcon 9 rocket. This is the first time in history that an already used rocket has been launched again.

The Falcon 9 in question was first used in April last year when it launched the Dragon towards the International Space Station. It was the second rocket that SpaceX successfully landed, and the first one that they landed on an ocean platform.

After taking the Marvel cinematic universe to new heights with 'The Avengers', Warner Bros. will be hoping Joss Whedon can do the same thing for the DC Comics universe, if the plan for 'Batgirl' comes to fruition.

According to Variety, the director is near to closing a deal with the studio to write, direct, and produce a big-budget feature based on the female DC Comics Heroine, which is said to also "feature other characters from the world of Gotham." If everything goes to plan, the as-yet untitled 'Batgirl' feature will join a huge slate of DC Comics films currently in development at the studio including 'Justice League', 'Aquaman', 'Suicide Squad 2', 'Gotham City Sirens', 'The Batman', Shazam', and solo films for The Flash, Cyborg and Black Adam.

Meanwhile, 'Wonder Woman', will be released in 2D, 3D and IMAX cinemas worldwide on June 2nd.

A recent report has suggested that Samsung might show the first foldable smartphones prototypes at IFA 2017 in Berlin. Samsung has already shown the foldable screen technology that has four different modes - rollable, bent, curved, and foldable.

The latest rumors from China say that Samsung's foldable smartphone knows as the Galaxy X, will arrive in Q3. Interestingly, the same leaker claims that the Note8 will arrive in Q4, meaning that the Korean company intends to launch foldable smartphone before the Note8.

The leaker didn't clarify if he is talking about the reveal or the market launch of the devices.

Bungie just dropped Destiny 2's reveal trailer, confirming a PC release on September 8 and a ton of plot points. Now you can take the hype one step further with a slew of screenshots.

So what do we know about Destiny 2? The game will be set in the solar system, and revolves around the Last City being sacked by Ghaul, a fearsome Cabal overlord who reigns over the Red Legion. The Last City in the solar system has fallen, and the Tower has crumbled. Guardians will spend every last gleam of their Light fighting for their home, and both Activision and Bungie promise a "fresh start" story filled with "great characters and new features."

Pre-orders are now up for all platforms, and grabbing a pre-order will lock you in for the upcoming beta test. An open beta test will be held this summer. Bungie will showcase gameplay on May 18

Samsung has unveiled their highly-anticipated flagship devices - the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and one of the biggest changes, design-wise, is the position of the fingerprint sensor.

The Galaxy S8's predecessors had the fingerprint sensor in the front of the device, but on the Galaxy S8 and S8+, the fingerprint sensor is in the back of the device, right next to the camera.

While numerous smartphones have the fingerprint sensor on the back, Samsung's positioning is a bit questionable since it is literally right next to the camera and users will certainly smudge the camera while trying to unlock the phone. Sure, you can also unlock your Galaxy S8 or S8+ via iris scanner or facial recognition, but that is not the point.

Bungie just released Destiny 2's official reveal trailer, confirming a PC release alongside PS4 and Xbox One on September 8. Now Activision has wasted no time talking up the sequel, promising some pretty hefty additions to the MMO-like FPS.

According to Activision CEO eric Hirshberg, Destiny 2 will deliver quite a few welcome changes that hopefully take fan feedback into consideration. We'll see improvements in story, characters, and "thoughtful innovations" that aim to get as many gamers into the fray as possible.

"Destiny was the biggest launch of a new console video game franchise ever. Along with our incredibly talented partners at Bungie, we are focusing on making Destiny 2 even better, with state of the art first person action, an awesome new story, great characters, and thoughtful innovations that make the game more accessible to all different kinds of players," Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg said in a recent press release.

Samsung unveiled their new smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and S8+, and there are high expectations from the company especially after the Note7 fiasco.

It appears that the Korean company has big plans for their new devices because they have doubled the initial supply of the Galaxy S8 compared to the Galaxy S7. This means that Samsung is initially preparing 20 million units of the Galaxy S8.

Bungie made good on their promise and dropped a reveal trailer for Destiny 2 and we finally get a confirmation of a PC release.

Destiny 2's launch trailer confirmed two things about the recent leaks: a September 8 release date, and the siege on the Guardians' home. But what about a PC release date? In pure cryptic Bungie fashion, the devs decided not to confirm platforms just yet...but the game's official pre-order page shows PC among PS4 and Xbox One platforms.

Of course, no official gameplay footage was shown off, and pre-orders have already opened up for four different versions of the game across all platforms. Destiny 2 will have a standard edition for $59.99, an expansion pass+base game edition for $89.99, a digital deluxe edition for $99, a limited edition for $99, and a collector's edition for a whopping $249.99 (which is the price of a base PS4 slim).

Ubisoft is continuing to tweak and work on Watch Dogs 2, with a new update arriving this month that will add a PvP 2v2 team mode called Showdown, but there's also a new drone, motocross, eKart rates, and more coming into the multiplayer world of the game.

The company has officially unveiled the new Watch Dogs 2 content roadmap for 2017, with April, May, and June seeing free content released - with Ubisoft teasing "support for a 4-player party to explore the city and play activities together". There is a new paid DLC pack called 'No Compromise' which drops on the PS4 in April, while PC and Xbox One gamers will have to wait until May. No Compromise features a new DedSec Operation called Moscow Gambit, 6 new single player race time trials, new clothing sets with police, fireman, and paramedic uniforms - each with their own "unique behaviors", and finally - 2 new non-lethal weapons with the air shotgun and sniper stun rifle.

Watch Dogs 2's free content for April on all platforms includes Showdown, a new PvP team-based online mode. There'll also be some fun for multiplayer with MotoCross, eKart and drone races now throwing your friends into the mix. There'll also be a new 'Armored Truck Feature' for both single player and cooperative modes, a new non-lethal paintball rifle, and 13 new clothing items.

The original Tomb Raider movies starred Angelina Jolie, but the new reboot is being filmed in South Africa right now, starring Oscar winner Alicia Vikander.

Crystal Dynamics' reboot of the Tomb Raider game took place in 2013, with its successor Rise of the Tomb Raider released last year - and now the new Tomb Raider movie, which will reportedly take more from the plot of the two new games. Norweigan director Roar Uthaug has promised that Tomb Raider is more of a human tale, mixed with lots of live action stunts.

During a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Tomb Raider was explained as "seven years after the disappearance of her father, 21-year-old Lara has refused to take the reins of his global business empire, instead working as a bike courier in London while taking college classes. Eventually she becomes inspired to investigate her father's disappearance and travels to his last-known location: a tomb on an island somewhere off the coast of Japan".

The 1990 TV movie 'IT' based on Stephen King's novel of the same name terrified a generation and almost single-handedly killed the popularity of clowns. This Halloween, Pennywise is back to do it all again. Warmer Bros have distributed the first footage from the upcoming horror film, and despite looking like ever other modern horror film, it could still be a bit of fun.

Bill Skarsgård will step into the role of the evil Pennywise the dancing Clown for the big-screen remake, in a role previously made famous by 'Rocky Horror Picture Show's Tim Curry. The young supporting cast will include Jaeden Lieberher, Jeremy Ray Taylor and 'Stranger Things' Finn Wolfhard. 'Mama' director Andrés Muschietti has taken the helm.

'IT' is set to hit cinemas in the U.S. and Australia on September 8th.

ASUS has announced two new graphics cards that will be available under the upcoming GeForce GTX 1080 Ti custom models, with the upgraded GTX 1080 and GTX 1060. The new GeForce GTX 1080 rocks 8GB of GDDR5X, clocked at 11Gbps compared to 10Gbps on the original GTX 1080 - while the GTX 1060 has its 6GB of GDDR5 clocked up to 9Gbps, compared to 8Gbps on the original GTX 1060.

The new ASUS GTX 1080 8GB 11Gbps Strix OC will rock the triple-fan DirectCU III cooling setup from ASUS, with a 2-slot design, and 8+2-phase power with 8+6-pin PCIe power connectors.

ASUS hasn't revealed the GPU clock speeds for its new Strix card just yet, but it will be launching mid-April.

AMD isn't just attacking the high-end graphics card market with its upcoming Radeon RX Vega graphics card, but it will be refreshing its Radeon RX 400 series of cards with the new Radeon RX 500 series.

Now we have some photos of the purported Radeon RX 580 and RX 570, both without their coolers on. The Radeon RX 580 engineering sample features a new PCB design, with AMD surely making improvements over the not-so-great PCB on the Radeon RX 480, which created headlines with its power issues - that were quickly fixed with updates from AMD.

The new Radeon RX 580 features a single 8-pin PCIe power connector, which should let the RX 580 clock higher than the RX 480, offering 10-15% more performance. We should see AMD ship the Radeon RX 580 with 8GB of GDDR5.

Today Samsung announced a new hardware and software solution named DeX.

DeX is the company's desktop transformation tool for turning a Galaxy S8 or S8+ into a desktop computer. This harnesses Samsung's latest Exynos processor or Qualcomm Snapdragon depending on the region you are located in.

What makes DeX so interesting is that it is a full desktop dock for your phone that allows you to treat your phone like it's a PC.
