This is a pretty horrendous report on Roblox that is basically saying it's inflating its financial figures, but also full of paedophiles, or people who think it's funny.

No idea where to even put this but nintendo are releasing a interactive alarm clock. Depending on price i may be interested, lol this came out of nowhere. Only catch it's a mynintendo store exclusive.

Wake up to Nintendo sounds and music and that's all you're going to have in your head all day long. I still have the Splatoon 3 music stuck in my head from watching that reveal video two hours ago.

They know exactly what they're doing with that thing and it doesn't exactly take being a psychologist to realise that this is far from being a positive lifestyle product.

I'd be more tempted to calibrate it to get me to log off my work machine at 6pm to go play games, than to make me wake up.

That's definitely a much healthier approach to using the device.

Metal Bringer demo is out on Steam. Developed by Alphawing, who brought us the equally cool looking Samurai Bringer...

I love the idea of waking up to the soundtracks of various nintendo games, while some of the games on there are not my goto games the fact pikmin 4 is on there along with zelda and the fact animal crossing and mario kart 8 are coming as updates made it a easy purchse although £90 is an alarmingly high price for it lol. at £60-70 it would have been an easier sell, still folded like a bitch though

It's interesting that Nintendo don't make more of stuff like this. As soon as it was announced I knew it would get snapped up in no time at all but at the same time I thought - I could just set my phone alarm to use an MP3 of one of their tracks for free. It's interesting in a way how reserved Nintendo is at times at banking money of Nintendo fans thirst for their brands.

Yeah it's a shame Nintendo don't do this stuff more often, i would love for them to have a side company that focuses on toy stuff imagine the variety of weird & wacky stuff that would be released. I still remember pokemotion from years ago where you could make pokemon appear in the air using a LED persistence of vision motion display

I've been asking them to make a party top hat that has a pully that when pulled makes choo-choo sound and a green mario pipe erects from the top of the hat and then out of the pipe silly string erupts. Then the wearer says "dat's mario!"

Micomsoft...live?! The makers of the XRGB line of scalers are not dead apparently, and are showcasing a number of prodcuts at a trade show.
Most of them are capture devices, but they also have a mini PC-8801.
