Forgoing the traditional method of addressing the world of gaming in the form of a press conference, and instead opting for a stronger, more player-inclusive online presence, Nintendo has already begun hinting at exciting details for the infamous gaming expo like that of their experiments with NFC toys. It wouldn’t be E3 if there weren’t some big surprises lying in wait though. In the case of Nintendo, one of these surprises looks to be taking the guise of a mysterious Q&A event that press outlets have begun receiving invites to....

Earlier this week, Nintendo released a statement confirming that the line of 3DS would no longer be in production. There were six styles of the 3DS, including the original, the New 3DS, the XL, New XL, 2DS, and New 2DS XL. All six will no longer be produced, but fans of this long-running, extremely popular handheld series won’t have to give up on playing their favorite 3DS games just yet....

World number nine Nishikori was beaten by Dimitrov in the 2017 final in Brisbane and gained vengeance with a 7-5 7-5 triumph on Thursday. The Japanese broke his opponent with a forehand down the line in game 11 of a tight first set, converting his third break point before serving out for the lead. Dimitrov looked set to force a decider after surging into a 4-1 advantage in the second, but errors crept in and a long backhand was followed by two double faults and an overhit forehand at 5-5 as Nishikori came from behind to advance....

Even if the Grand Slams still remain in the iron grip of the sport’s senior statesmen, the ATP Finals this week surely has witnessed a change of guard. Dominic Thiem, at 26, is by no means from the sprightly NextGen but his assured performances against the game’s best on his least preferable indoor hardcourts speak volumes of his intent in bridging the gap with the Big Three. Having won hardcourt titles at Indian Wells Masters, Vienna and Beijing, the two-time French Open runner-up had somewhat declared himself as a contender for the big titles on surfaces other than clay....

Nadal offered some advice to young tennis players after the match, highlighting the fact that his great come-back should not be the most important lesson they should draw from his performance: Rafael Nadal has been famous throughout his entire career for his mental toughness and for the way he carries himself on court. He continued in the post-match press conference, mentioning that there were parts of the match when he felt that Medvedev was definitely the better player, but was not discourage because of that:...

In the Boca Raton Bowl, NIU came out of halftime with an onside kick, and it actually worked. Thanks in large part to the sub-par effort by Marshall. For some reason they couldn’t simple grab the ball. At one point it looked like someone was pulling the ball on a string while a Marshall player ran after it. With sloppy play like that, it wouldn’t be surprising if NIU tried it multiple times throughout the game....

According to NJ Advance Media, Gil had put together the protest in response to learning about affordable housing requirements that the town lacked. Following the protest, which had between 30 and 40 people, according to Gil, Kranjac sent her a letter asking her to pay $2,499.26. Gil said the protest was peaceful, and the participants cleaned up after themselves. The letter provided to NJ Advanced Media said the local police weren’t prepared for the protest....

This new deal for NJPW exposes the product to a lot of eyes that would not have otherwise known of the biggest promotion in Japan. The company has been on a steady United States expansion since 2017 with a training dojo built in Los Angeles, more U.S. shows, and the sub brand New Japan Pro Wrestling of America. The Roku Channel is available on any Roku streaming player or Roku TV in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States....

In case you didn’t know… During this past Saturday’s G1 Specials at the Cow Palace in the US, Hiromu Takahashi successfully defended his IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Championship against his arch-rival Dragon Lee in yet another tremendous singles match. However, during the contest, Hiromu, unfortunately, suffered an absolutely devastating neck injury, when he was apparently dropped on his head and broke his neck and following the conclusion to his match, Takahashi was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was given immediate treatment by the doctors....

The similarities between the franchises — and current squads — don’t end there. A quick look at why you should expect this evenly matched series run into extra innings in all seven games, with each contest ending with some type of fluke happening. And Game 7 should last at least 27 innings. Strap in, folks. Series starts Saturday; full schedule, TV | Rooting: Against Cards | Against Giants | Vegas visions...

Terms like “LOL”—laugh out loud—and “LMAO”—laughing my a** off—are among the most common of internet slang, but there are some acronyms and phrases that oftentimes leave people completely stumped. Like, for instance, “JFC,” which, contrary to what some folks on Twitter believe, doesn’t stand for “Jentucky Fried Chicken.” As it stands, “JFC” is shorthand for the phrase “Jesus F**king Christ.” However, after one person on Twitter claimed that sometimes the phrase “John F....

More energy-efficient air conditioning could help heat-stricken populations cope with rising temperatures, but will likely exacerbate the challenge posed by climate change. Bloggers for the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), plotted our energy scenarios this week in which “air conditioning is assumed to increase significantly over the next 30 years, with as much as 75 percent of the total population living in hot countries potentially having an air conditioner by 2050....

Cilic was fancied to mount another challenge at the All England Club after the Croatian, runner-up to Roger Federer last year, was crowned Queen’s champion last month. The third seed appeared to be coasting into the third round when he won the first two sets on Wednesday before play was suspended due to rain. World number 82 Pella had not won a match at SW19 before this week, but rallied from the brink of defeat when play resumed on Thursday to pull off a shock 3-6 1-6 6-4 7-6 (7-3) 7-5 victory and move into the third round of a grand slam for the first time....

Former world number one Andy Murray has already withdrawn from the first grand slam of the year because of a hip injury. Novak Djokovic, who like Murray has not played since Wimbledon, withdrew from the Qatar Open with an elbow issue and his presence in Melbourne is very much in jeopardy. World number one Rafael Nadal will head to the Australian Open without having played a warm-up event, leaving Federer as the heavy favourite to defend his title....

No Man’s Sky fans are no strangers to putting their creative talents to use when it comes to designing LEGO sets, as there have been many fan-made LEGO projects created and shared among the community in the past. These sets are often based on some of the many popular designs seen throughout the game’s universe, although the team of developers at Hello Games are still continuing in their commitment to bringing brand-new content to the game every few months....

The first time players will need antimatter is near the beginning of the game, not long after leaving the first planet. Players will be given the new objective to create a hyperdrive, which is used to travel from one star system to the next. Crafting the hyperdrive is easy enough, but after building one, players will find that they need antimatter to create the warp cell necessary to fuel it....

When Sean Murray and Hello Games did not deliver the content they promised for No Man’s Sky’s launch, they received extreme backlash and made it their first priority to redeem themselves. Now, over two years later, the action-adventure exploration game is finally how it was originally described as for its launch. No Man’s Sky Visions is just another piece that will continue to add upon the already-impressive game. By adding new biomes, wider planet variety, more color, new fauna and flora, fireworks, and much more, No Man’s Sky massive universe is beginning to feel less lonely and even more inviting....

Now fans of No Man’s Sky’s premise have combined the exploration elements of the title with Nintendo’s ever-popular Super Mario series. Despite some simply shrugging off such an endeavor as a Super Mario Galaxy knockoff, the end result combines the best elements of both games (albeit simplified) in order to create a sidescrolling platformer that puts stomping on Goombas at the forefront of the game in question. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for No Mario’s Sky....

With a flashy trailer and a legacy unlike most trilogy cappers, No More Heroes 3 is set to draw players new and old to the No More Heroes franchise. As such, many players who want to get into the series for the first time may well pick up the first two games. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle is the second title in the series and more ambitious than the first, so here’s a quick lowdown on how long it takes to beat....
