  • Shigeru Miyamoto Still Tests Every Mario Title to Ensure It Feels Like Mario
    November 10, 2025, 1:42 AM EST. Shigeru Miyamoto remains deeply involved with Mario, even as he delegates more to teammates. In Casa Brutus, he says he now takes a hands-off approach but personally plays the first 30 minutes and checks the interface to ensure it really feels like Mario. He notes Mario's growth beyond games through collaborations with passionate people outside Nintendo, including theme parks and a forthcoming film. While his next 3D adventure could be a sequel to Super Mario Odyssey or something new, Miyamoto hints Nintendo is exploring fresh directions rather than pure sequels. A Super Mario Galaxy Movie is in the works as well. The Mario franchise remains a powerhouse across media.
  • Apple reportedly plans OLED display and touchscreen for M6 Pro and M6 Max MacBook Pro in 2026
    November 10, 2025, 1:40 AM EST. Apple is reportedly planning a major update for the next-gen MacBook Pro lineup, introducing an OLED display and touch support on the M6 Pro and M6 Max variants. The base M6 is expected to miss these upgrades, while the higher-end models reportedly get a thinner chassis and a more portable form factor. Codenamed K114 and K116, the OLED panels would match iPhone/iPad Pro quality, marking Apple's first touch-capable MacBooks. The base design would remain unchanged for the moment, possibly to differentiate performance tiers. Bloomberg suggests the M5 family could arrive earlier, with the M6 Pro/Max launch in late 2026 or early 2027 and a roughly $100 price uptick. India pricing remains unclear.

This provides a quick compatibility reference for players and collectors.
  • ArkEdge Space Demonstrates Global Satellite IoT Messaging with AE-1c
    November 10, 2025, 1:34 AM EST. ArkEdge Space Inc. demonstrated operational satellite short messaging using compact, battery-powered IoT devices, transmitting from ground terminals to micro-satellites and downlinking in real time via ArkEdge's ground station. Shown at the UNISEC-Global Meeting, the tests highlight satellite-based IoT coverage for remote and oceanic regions lacking terrestrial networks. The system relies on low-power, long-range modules that relay sensor data to space and back, proving technical feasibility for future missions. ArkEdge plans international proof-of-concept and commercial missions across Africa, Asia, and South America, expanding its IoT constellation for wide-area, continuous monitoring. At NIHONBASHI SPACE WEEK 2025, partners emphasized Africa connectivity. The AE-1c mission, supported by METI and NEDO, advances standardized 6U satellite buses and integrated geospatial intelligence data.
  • Nintendo launches Switch 2 compatibility site for Switch 1 games
    November 10, 2025, 1:32 AM EST. Nintendo has launched a dedicated Switch 2 compatibility site that lets players quickly determine whether Switch 1 games run on the new console. The vast majority of titles are compatible, with a few notable exceptions. For example, NieR: Automata currently runs poorly on Switch 2, despite strong performance on Switch 1. The site lets users search by game title or general term, and each game page shows whether behavior is consistent, there are any issues, or if the title is fully incompatible. Patch fixes for various titles have rolled out over time, with lists linked from the site. Players can try the new compatibility checker now and stay updated on future patches and Switch 2 news.
