Why Nintendo May Fall!

With it's declining sales of both the Wii and the 3DS there are many reasons for why Nintendo might fall! This year Nintendo is seeing it's lowest sales numbers in over four years. The Wii is quickly loosing popularity and the 3DS never really had it! In all reality Nintendo is lucky that the Wii had such a strong run. It is greatly underpowered and is in desperate need of an upgrade. This upgrade is coming in the form of the Wii U. In my opinion I think Nintendo has once again sold itself short. When you look at everything we know so far about the Wii U you can already see that it will be the Wii all over again. With all due respect it will be way more powerful than the current Wii BUT... not next gen powerful. It's what the Wii should have been in the first place! I'm not trying to upset the fan boys but even they have to admit that I'm right! Now, I'm going to try to stay out of the console wars as much as possible so thats all I have to say about that! Moving on to the 3DS we saw a lot of hype but unfortunately it seemed like Nintendo didn't even plan for its release! There weren't any games that were released with it that made anybody say "OMG I HAVE TO GET A 3DS SO I CAN PLAY THAT GAME"! The 3DS itself is an amazing concept but the execution was poor to say the least and I have yet to upgrade for that very reason. Looking back to E3 we heard Nintendo talk a lot about all the games that were coming to the 3DS this year and next and there were some exciting titles in the mix! One in particular really caught my eye and that was Smash Bros! They said that they were going to to a simultaneous release on both the 3DS and the Wii U! That game alone will get me to upgrade! Hopefully with all these up incoming releases it will boost Nintendo's sales and give them back their edge they no longer seem to hold over he gaming community! I for one would hate to see a gaming legend like Nintendo fall and I can't wait to see what will come within the next five or ten years! What do you think? Will Nintendo fall or will it get it's edge back? Please comment and follow!

Hands on with the HTC EVO 3D

I was in the mall yesterday and I decided to go into the Sprint store to check out the new EVO 3D! I must admit that before I even had it in my hands I was already expecting the worst. I thought it was going to be like the 3DS which I wasn't at all impressed with. I had it in my hands now and before the screen turned on I was already impressed. The design is simple and serious but it still had that fun quality that makes you want to play with it. So I finally turned on the screen and I was even further impressed by the quality of all the colors. It has a QHD 960 x 540 display which is a little less than the current iPhone but still beautiful nonetheless. Now I moved on to the OS. It runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread and as with all versions of Android I like the way it looks better than the way it functions. From here I started to play with the phones 3D capabilities and this is the most impressive feature of all. You can run all kinda of apps in 3D and even take 3D videos and pictures with the phones two back facing 5 megapixel cameras. With all these amazing features it needs a processor with the power to run them all and the EVO 3D does deliver! It has a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor, not even my iPad can rival that kind of power. Amazing as it is it does have its downsides. For one it runs on Sprint witch doesn't cover my area so why there is a Sprint store near by is beyond me. Second the cameras stick out past the phone and without a case I can bet they would get scratched beyond use within a few weeks. The last and most annoying problem I had with it is that it runs on Sprint! I know I've said this but I just can't stad Sprint. I would tell you why but its a long story and doesn't really pertain to this post. In conclusion it is a great phone with great features and if you have sprint and are ready for an upgrade I would highly recommend it! Please Comment and Follow!

ModernWarfare3.com Dispute

Some times fanboys take it too fare as they did with modernwarfare3.com. Apparently not only were they bad mouthing the upcoming video game Modern Warfare 3, they recently started redirecting visitors to the official Battlefield 3 website and Activision has had enough! They filed a "first domain name dispute complaint". It's not yet clear how things will turn out but hopefully it wont get any more serious than it already is.

Lil Wayne Drops a Mixtape!

On the 13 of this month Lil Wayne released a mix tape called Sorry 4 the Wait. As the title suggest he wants to say sorry for pushing the release of his next mainstream album, The Carter IV. Even with that we are still not sure when exactly it's going to get released. Some people say late August others say September,  and still others say not til October! At any rate if you want to download the mix tape go to mixtapepass.com and follow the instructions!

iPhone 5: What are You Looking Foreword to?

Even though the iPhone 5 was confirmed by the Wall Street Journal we still dont know that much about it. It is said to have an 8 megapixel capera, heightened graphics, and above all  a totally new design! Earlier this year Apple put in for some patents for touch sensitive buttons integrated into the bezel and this made me wonder, how can they patent something that I have seen on so many android phones because I thought that kind of thing has already been patented. They obviously must be something completely different! The only other solid fact we have about it is that it will definitely be released in the fall (just in time for my birthday).  It may still be unclear how its going to look or operate but I know one thing for sure: I cannot wait for the iPhone 5. Tell me what you think and dont forget to follow!
