  • Nintendo of America may have a new president, but its approach to supporting the 3DS console is the same as ever: if you want it, we’ve got it. For that reason, and quite possibly because Nintendo also sees the console as “a great entry point for young gamers”, the 3DS will continue to see support. And if you have any concern that the 3DS didn’t really make much of an appearance during Nintendo’s Direct at E3, don’t fret.

  • You have to give Rocket League a lot of credit – it pioneered a new wave of action sports games. Riding that wave is Roller Champions, a new free-to-play game from Ubisoft that blends the best of Rocket League with roller derby and it’s outstanding. What makes this game special – and my new favorite PVP sports game – is that, besides being free-to-play, it’s easier to pick up and play than Rocket League. Until then, I’m totally fine for Roller Champions to be the English Football League to Rocke

But has The Outer Worlds got what it takes to fill void left by Fallout? The overarching theme of The Outer Worlds is inherently bleak. In The Outer Worlds, corporations are king and Obsidian take advantage of this to deliver comedy with a bite. “The things you love about the games that we make, we want to provide to you in The Outer Worlds.

  • 2018’s TicWatch Pro is a great smartwatch, with one of its few flaws being the lack of a 4G/LTE version, but it looks like that could be solved, as Mobvoi seems to be planning a new TicWatch Pro with 4G included. While not yet official, an image briefly appeared on Mobvoi’s (the maker of TicWatch products) website, complete with the text “The new TicWatch Pro” and “Powered by Verizon.” That last bit is what suggests that it supports 4G, as otherwise it wouldn’t be powered by a mobile network.

  • The Instax Mini LiPlay’s main selling point is the 2.7-inch, 230k-dot LCD screen on its rear. It accepts the same Instax Mini film as existing models like the Mini 9 and Mini 70, enabling it to spit out credit-card-sized prints, and it houses a lens equivalent to 28mm f/2 in 35mm terms. That gives you the freedom to view your images post-capture or send them to an Instax printer through built-in Bluetooth.
