    Hacking Question Could a CFW add Bluetooth Audio support?

    Are any of the CFW devs looking into this? According to some sources, the Switch's Bluetooth chip should support it: http://www.cypress.com/file/298796/download It also occurred to me that the Switch's OS may already support Bluetooth Audio, and a CFW dev may just need to build in a method to...

    Homebrew NAND dump verification

    With the importance of NAND backups in the 3DS hacking scene, I'm somewhat paranoid that a corrupt NAND dump will destroy my chances of recovery if something bad happens. I'm wondering, therefore, if any of the current NAND dumping options offer post-dump verification, like BootMii did on the...

    Gaming Anywhere to buy Skylanders Superchargers Dark Edition other than Nintendo Store?

    I want to buy this for my son for Xmas, but I'm loathed to pay almost £40 more than the standard edition (based on Zavvi's price) and £10-15 more than the XBox One and PS4 Dark Editions. I know Nintendo don't do competitive pricing, so if I can't pick it up cheaper then I guess I'll have to...

    Fire at Nintendo UK Service Center

    This news is coming to you first-hand. A couple of weeks ago, I sent my son's 3DS XL in to Nintendo for repair; the screens would not switch on when the power button was pressed. They got back to me last week with a quote for ~£80, to which I called them and asked if there was anything they...

    Hacking Splitting game collections into individual games

    I've got a few collection disks that I've just installed via MultiMan after being away from the PS3 scene for quite a while. The ones I've installed so far are Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD and God of War Saga, but I have a few others (it seems like a popular platform to release game collections on)...

    Speaking with Reuters, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata revealed the company's intention to create brand new hardware and software for release in emerging markets around the world, including China. Nintendo aim to market the new console to the middle class in those countries: This implies...

    Watch Dogs pushed back again for Wii U

    Ubisoft have once again delayed the launch of Watch Dogs, this time only for the Wii U, presumably so the target release date can be met for the other consoles. Can't say I blame them, though last year when Rayman Legends was ready for the Wii U, Ubisoft intentionally delayed it so that the...

    Super Mario aims to make McDonalds UK meals happy again

    If you're a parent, you'll undoubtedly know how annoying happy meal toys are. Let's face it, they're mostly crap, but the marketing strategy works because your kids will pester you until they get one. Well, this might be one time you don't try and leave the toy in the restaurant or throw it away...

    Gaming Wii Fit U (trial) and Fit Meter

    My Wii Fit U trial has expired and it says that I need to register a Fit Meter to continue using it. Something's confusing me, though: Wii Fit U retails with the meter at about £45-£50, or you can buy the meter on its own for £20. This makes it seem like there's some kind of catch, like the...

    Gaming Anyone played the Bravely Default demo yet?

    I played for a short while last night and I really enjoyed it. It feels like Square Enix really went back to their roots on this one. The demo is pretty decent too, with a few quests to undertake and by completing certain tasks you can unlock some stuff that will give you a head start when you...

    NNIDs and Miiverse are finally coming to the 3DS

    After a long wait since the original announcement, today's Nintendo Direct finally revealed that a December update for the 3DS software will bring Nintendo Network IDs, combining eShop balances across the Wii U and 3DS, and Miiverse integration. Great news for those of us who own both...

    Hardware Pink 3DS XL is a minor hardware revision...

    I just bought the better half a pink 3DS XL yesterday and I've noticed a very small improvement in the hardware design: the hinge doesn't make a snapping noise. It's completely silent as it moves into both screen positions. This made me immensely jealous as when I get home late sometimes I...

    Gaming Bravely Default delayed until 2014 for Europe

    Accompanying Nintendo's financial reports today were additional details regarding upcoming releases for the 3DS and Wii U. The list includes a release date of 2014 for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy in both Europe and North America, despite previously being announced for 2013 in a European...

    Gaming StreetPass not playing nice between 2 3DS XLs

    At the beginning of the month, I bought my 2 daughters a 3DS XL each (I already had mine). We've been StreetPassing 2-3 times per day and the girls have been trying to collect all my puzzle pieces, working together to make sure they don't take the same piece from me so they can collect them...

    Pikmin 3 enters UK chart at number 2

    For any other game on any other console I'd have just shrugged at this, but for the struggling Wii U I find this rather interesting. The Wii U itself is (was?) barely selling in the UK, so it's surprising to see even a first-party release in the top 5. If anything, this proves how strong...

    Mitigating the 'TempStyle Dark' problem

    After getting a little tired of not being able to read posts, I thought I might offer a small suggestion: Ban the colour picker. It doesn't serve any purpose, no real benefit. All it does is allow people to either hurt your eyes by picking overly bright colours, or hurt your eyes by making...
