Nintendo Facing Lawsuit To Ban WIi U Sales In The U.S.

Amid a terrible sales performance that only got worse over the first quarter of this year (Nintendo president Satoru Iwata took a 50% pay cut over the the Wii U’s awful sales back in January) and a mini-scandal when word emerged that users couldn’t be same-sex couples in the 3DS handheld

Low-Cost Windows Phones Coming As Blu And China’s K-Touch Team With Microsoft


Microsoft successfully acquired Nokia’s mobile unit and thus brought the vast majority of Windows Phone handsets under one roof, but that doesn’t mean Redmond isn’t branching out to other manufacturers. Both U.S.-based Blu and China’s K-Touch will be developing Windows Phone handsets in the future.

Blu posted a photo on its Facebook page last month teasing the Windows Phone release. The image was of a handset that looked a lot like a Moto G (complete with a colorful shell) with a Windows logo on it, and Blu called it a “sneak peak”

All About Windows Phone tracked down a translated Chinese site (Livesino) wherein vice president of Microsoft China Zhang Yongli confirmed that Blu is indeed in the Windows Phone ecosystem and announced that K-Touch is as well.

It’s unclear where the phones will launch, but a lot of the effort here is aimed at developing countries. Today’s announcement brings the total number of OEMs working on Windows Phone devices to 17, including Lenovo, Huawei, Foxconn, LG, Samsung, and HTC.

Flappy Bird Will Return To Mobile In August With Multiplayer Element

One of the more bizarre stories in the history of gaming has yet to write an ending. We're talking about the rapid rise and intentional decline of Flappy Bird, a stupidly simple game that at its peak was raking in more than $50,000 per day through in-game ads. After gaining attention in the media, the game's developer, a soft-spoken 28-year-old who lives with his parents in Hanoi, Vietnam, pulled the game offline last February. Now he's planning to bring it back this summer, with a twist.

According to comments Flappy Bird creator Dong Nguyen told CNBC, Flappy Return will return to app stores in August. This time around, it will have a multiplayer mode and be less addictive. The reason Nguyen said he removed the game in the first place is because of angry messages and emails he would receive from parents and teachers claiming that they and their kids were becoming addicted to Flappy Bird and not focusing on the things that matter.

Flappy Bird

In other words, guilt trumped the $50,000 per day he was making from the game, or so the story goes. Conspiracy theorists (or just plain skeptics) could chalk this up to brilliant marketing, as Flappy Bird's return tour is likely to generate quite a bit of initial buzz.

Nguyen didn't explain how he plans to make the game less addicting. There's really not much to the game play -- you tap the screen to keep your bird airborne as you navigate it through a series of pipes, scoring a point each time you're successful. Tapping is the only control scheme.

In addition to another Flappy Bird title, Nguyen said he's working on other apps, one of which features building leaping.
