Nintendo Charge grip gets pricey!

The guys recently chatted about the Nintendo Switch and as they said it is a little pricey, the console doesn’t even have a game with it.

Now every Nintendo Switch comes with a Joy-Con Grip accesory that holds the two Joy-Con controllers so it forms a controller similar to a regular game pad……….but it won’t charge them. To charge them whilst you’re playing you got to pay for a much pricier accessory called the Joy Con Charging Grip which costs $29.99!

They look different but also the same the only difference is that the switch box on the non charging one is opaque with a matte gray finish while the charging version is gray but translucent.

You don’t need the charging grip to keep the controllers powered, they will charge whilst connected to the Switch unit – there just doesn’t seem to be an option on the Joy Con controllers to plug them directly into a USB power outlet – which is annoying at best.

The Joy Con controllers have a non-removable 525 mAh battery that will last for approximately 20 hours & whether the pads are in a Charging Grip or connected to a Switch, to fully charge them from completely flat to full it will take three hours!

Sniper Elite 4

Recently Marcus went to Rebellion Games HQ and shot some guns all in the name of Sniper Elite 4!

 

 

WELCOME TO ITALY, 1943 Discover ultimate sniping freedom in the largest and most advanced World War 2 shooter ever built. Experience tactical third person combat, slick stealth gameplay and epic longs hots as you liberate Italy from the grip of Fascism.

With an expansive campaign for 1-2 players and dedicated co-op and competitive multiplayer modes, Sniper Elite 4 aims to deliver a definitive tactical third person shooter with unrivalled sniping freedom across environments many times the size of those seen in Sniper Elite 3

Set in the aftermath of its award-winning predecessor, Sniper Elite 4 continues the series’ World War Two heritage by transporting players across the beautiful Italian peninsula, from sun-drenched Mediterranean coastal towns, to colossal Nazi megastructures, ancient forests and hidden mountain monasteries.

Covert agent and elite marksman Karl Fairburne must fight alongside the brave men and women of the Italian Resistance to help free their country from the yoke of Fascism, and defeat a terrifying new threat with the potential to halt the Allied fightback in Europe before it’s even begun.

If his mission fails, there will be no Operation Overlord, no D-Day landings, and no Victory in Europe. Thrilling tactical third person combat: As deadly from distance as you are up close, adapt seamlessly to any combat situation and take the fight to Nazi forces with an impressive arsenal of iconic World War 2 sniper rifles, sub machine guns, heavy weapons, traps and explosives.

Slick new traversals and stealth takedowns: Climb, hang, shimmy, leap and clamber your way across the game’s vast environments to get the drop on enemies and deliver killing blows from behind cover, over ledges and more! Gaming’s most advanced kill cameras: Sniper Elite’s acclaimed X-ray Kill Camera shows the impact of your most impressive longshots, melee attacks and explosive trap kills on enemy bodies in bone-cracking detail.

Deep sniping customisation: Perfect your combat effectiveness by upgrading your own abilities via the skill tree, and tweaking key weapon traits such as scope magnification, muzzle velocity, stability and others.

Rewarding, tactical co-op: Play the entire campaign in co-op for 2 players, or jump into dedicated co-op game modes for up to 4 players.

Tense competitive multiplayer: Ratchet up the tension and take Sniper Elite’s trademark sharpshooting into unique adversarial play for up to 12 players in 7 modes across 6 custom-designed maps.

Real Life Super Mario World

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.

Who Sampled!

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.
