An announcement has dropped that will give everyone who likes games a real excitement of what is to come from Universal Studios. There is going to be a “Super Nintendo World” – Yes you read that right, a “Super Nintendo World”
The featured image is some concept art of what the final design will look like when the park opens in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The press release states that the park will be:
“expansive and multilevel environments filled with unprecedented, state-of-the-art rides, interactive areas, shops and restaurants, all featuring Nintendo’s most popular characters and games.”
While it looks like you can walk around in a real Super Mario World, sorry, hop skip and jump, Nintendo’s very own Shigeru Miyamoto is apparently working with Universal to make the characters as accurate as possible.
Super Nintendo World is also set to drop in Universal Studios, Orlando and Hollywood.

As DJ’s a lot of the guys often find themselves asking “what track is that” or “Who sampled that” well that question is no longer needed to be asked as we have found a really cool app that does all that for you it’s called “WhoSampled”
With this app you are able to discover what a track is and who sampled it. You can scan your own Apple Music/Spotify and iTunes libraries for lists of samples, covers and remixes all within the app.
The app then pulls up a lot of information on the tracks for example:
Where was this song sampled?
Who covered my favorite artists?
What remixes were made for this track?
The best music discovery tool for all DJ’s out there or anyone who is deep into music!
The app even has a “Now Playing” feature if you’re on iOS allows you to switch from your music player to WhoSampled to discover all the musical connections for the song you’re listening to.

After iOS 10.2 Twitter Briefly changed!!………..Then went back to normal.
How you ask?
Well they dropped the “@” sign from replies.
This allowed people to tweet as many people as they want without worrying about character count as the “@” usernames didn’t get counted in their tweet.
Not long after Twitter went into a slight Frenzy and Twitter sent out this tweet:
” Today, an experiment around replies accidentally went out to everyone on iOS briefly. Upside, we got helpful feedback – we’re listening!” – @Support
While they were toying with this and experimenting with a few number of users, people were NOT happy this morning:

2007 is all but a decade ago. A DECADE AGO!
Feel old right?
Anyway, this video from NBC in America predicted some pretty cool stuff to happen next year…..see the video below to see what they got right (quite a lot actually) and what they didn’t correctly predict!
I’m still waiting for this!

It looks like Super Mario Run (hitting stores on December 15th at £10 and we cannot wait!) will only work if your iOS device is connected to the internet due to privacy concerns! One of the main reasons for this being that Nintendo The are worried about the game being released firstly in so many countries and secondly on devices that they don’t have any control over and problems over all modes working together.
Nintendo apparently tried to create a work around and have just the World Tour available offline but this caused many problems with other game modes in the app like the Toad Rally.
Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto said:
“We wanted to be able to leverage that network connection with all three of the modes to keep all of the modes functioning together and offering the game in a way that keeps the software secure…..This is something that we want to continue to work on as we continue to develop the game.”

Nintendo full statement:
Online connectivity allows us to offer a variety of features and services that enhance the play experience. Super Mario Run is not a static experience, but rather one that players can continue to return to again and again to enjoy something new and unexpected. For example, online connectivity can offer the following:
- Access to other users’ play data and scores for automatically generated Toad Rally challenges.
- In-game events that will offer players new challenges and rewards for a limited time.
- Linkage to Nintendo Account to access save data from multiple devices. For example, if players have Super Mario Run on their iPhone and iPad, they can share one save file across the different devices. However, this save data cannot be used with different devices at the same time.
