With Mario Kart, Zelda, and cross-buy games, Nintendo could turn the Wii U around June 30, 2014 at 2:13 pm
We’re a year and a half into the Wii U’s lifespan, and the sales performance has been lackluster to say the least. Nintendo had lightning in a bottle with the original Wii, and it simply couldn’t replicate that same hype for the Wii U. However, the narrative seems to be changing in Nintendo’s favor recently. The house that Mario built had a surprisingly good showing at E3 this year, some heavy-hitting franchises are coming down the pike, and the first cross-buy game just hit the eShop.

Will 60fps YouTube videos force game developers to prioritize frame rate? June 27, 2014 at 4:39 pm
This week, Google announced that 48fps and 60fps video playback will be available on YouTube sometime in the next few months. The transition to higher frame rates has been painfully slow across the board, but this move from the YouTube team could force game devs and Hollywood to focus on pumping out more frames per second.

Dota 2 prize fund now over $10 million: Not bad for a free-to-play PC-only game June 27, 2014 at 10:22 am
Early this morning, the prize fund for the Dota 2 International tournament crossed the $10 million mark. Remarkably, just $1.6 million of the prize fund was provided by Valve; the rest was contributed by members of the Dota 2 community who are eager to get their hands on some in-game items, and to support their favorite teams and the nascent esport as a whole. With a prize fund of over $10 million, The International 4 is now larger than The Masters golf tournament.
Google turns on the world’s first modular smartphone, reveals more juicy details about Project Ara June 27, 2014 at 8:38 am
At I/O 2014, Google has publicly turned on its modular Project Ara smartphone for the first time. Considering Project Ara nothing more than some pretty concept art back in October 2013, it’s impressive how quickly Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group has produced a working prototype. If all goes to plan, Google hopes to sell the modular Ara smartphone in 2015, starting at $50 for a bare-bones endoskeleton that you plug other modules into. During the ATAP tech session at I/O 2014, Ara chief Paul Eremenko also gave us lots of technical details about how to actually build a modular phone — no mean feat, as you can probably imagine.
ET deals: $401 off Dell Inspiron One 2020 20-inch all-in-one multi-touch PC June 26, 2014 at 5:01 pm
One of the most common complaints against Windows 8 is that in its bid to get touch-friendly, it got decidedly keyboard and mouse unfriendly. A touchscreen desktop all-in-one is one solution aimed at delivering the best of both worlds, but they tend not to come cheap. Thanks to a huge new savings though, you can now nab…
