Nintendo 3DS update adds save backups, new StreetPass game store
Author: Randy Miller
If the madness of E3 (and the promise of some big titles) has recently pulled you back to Nintendo’s handheld, you might be greeted with a firmware update next time you open up that well-worn 3DS. Aside from improved stability and bug fixes, there’s new save data backup feature which will hold on to save files for your downloaded 3DS titles as well as Virtual Console games. Appearing already in Europe, version 6.0.0-11 also bundles in a new shop for the Mii Plaza, with StreetPass Squad, StreetPass Garden, StreetPass Battle, StreetPass Mansion all priced at 5 euros, or 15 euros for the whole set. No word on yet on when the update will arrive on the other side of the Atlantic, but given past form, we’d expect it to arrive some time this month.

The Beer Glass That May Save Humanity
Author: Angela Stephens
Somebody give this man a Nobel Prize.
Mobile phones are pretty great. Bars are great, too. But this is a problem:

So Brazilian art director, Mauricio Perussi, came up with a crafty solution. It's called The Offline Glass.

This is how it works:
The Salve Jorge Bar, a Brazillian watering hole, tested the glass out in the wild. Since it's just a clever marketing stunt, it's doubtful you'll see it at your local bar, but that shouldn't stop us from dreaming of a future where this is the norm:

Can Mario save the Wii U?
Author: Gabe Hall
Nintendo’s booth at E3 contained nothing unexpected. There was a new Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart, and 3D Super Mario, and a version of Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS that we weren’t allowed to play. Meanwhile, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is getting a sequel, and Wind Waker is getting a remake. The lack of surprises is in no way surprising: people buy Nintendo consoles and handhelds to play Nintendo games.
But with each successive generation, the company is losing any semblance of a supporting cast. The NES and SNES each had a huge range of amazing third-party games to complement the likes of Mario and Metroid, but since the Nintendo 64 those games have slowly been disappearing. With the Wii U, they’re practically…

Play this: ‘Save the Date,’ a dating sim like no other
Author: Brittany Turner
Paper Dino Software’s Save the Date is an extremely unique game. You play as an unnamed character who is tasked with arranging a date with the object of your affections, Felicia. It plays out as series of multiple-choice questions, but after spending some time with the game, you’ll discover that the stakes are far higher than the average dating sim.
Save the Date is a powerful, frustrating game, and one that’s wel-written and ingeniously designed. For maximum effect, you should discover the game’s overarching concept for yourself, so we won’t go in-depth into its finer details. Once you’re done with it, there are a couple of great reviews of the experience on Rock, Paper Shotgun and Geeky Universe. It’s available as a free download for…

Can The 3DS Save Nintendo?

Nintendo's handheld is the hottest system is gaming . Can it rub off on its disappointing big brother?
This morning’s Nintendo Direct presentation, a near-monthly webcast in which Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announces new titles and initiatives from the Kyoto company, was a crowd-pleaser. Among the revelations that sent fans into a frenzy: A sequel to the seminal Super Nintendo Zelda game A Link to the Past, a new Mario Party game, and a new game in the beloved Yoshi's Island series, a Mario spinoff.
It was also the clearest picture yet of the company that Nintendo has become in 2013: One that boasts a robust and flourishing mobile game platform, and drags around a flagship console business that continues to languish.
As Kotaku's Jason Schreier wrote in February, the 3DS has turned into a little powerhouse. A 2011 price drop from 250 to 170 dollars, combined with a strong library of games (including a 3D remake of the greatest game of all time, entries in some of the company's best loved series, and a growing eStore), has boosted sales. That's an impressive feat in the teeth of a marketplace that is booming with mobile gaming options. Today's announcements should only feed that momentum.
Meanwhile, the company’s unpopular Wii U console continues to be plagued by a lack of salable games. The major announcement for that system today was a software update. Oh, and a port of a cult classic game from 1995 (Earthbound), which, while gratifying to its passionate fans, will hardly be a hardware-mover. Moreover, there is still no game on the horizon for the $ 300 system which could be remotely considered as such. Earlier this month, the company's legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto pled for patience, comparing the launch of the two-screen console to the 2004 launch of the DS:
“There was a period when we first released the Nintendo DS that people would say there's no way people can look at two screens at once,” he said. “I almost feel like, as people get more familiar with Wii U and these touchscreen interfaces, that there is going to come a point where they feel like 'I can't do everything I want to do if I don't have a second screen'.”
That may be true, but without games to entice consumers to buy the system, that point may never come. And right now, the Nintendo games that people want to buy are almost exclusively on their portable.

This is the Modem World: When tech can’t save us from road rage
Author: Jesus Sargent
Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of customer modern technology.
So I’m driving house the various other evening after a decent day of work, expecting a little run, some supper and maybe a motion picture. Taking my regular north-south course along Crescent Heights, I listen to Tame Impala to soothe the nerves and get in an additional mindset.
I’m at one of those intersections through which 2 lanes become one because of a parked vehicle in the right lane ahead. I, being in the right lane, gun it a bit at the beginning in order to get some distance from the man on my left.
He’s having none of this, apparently.
Ends up my vehicle is faster, though, and I edge him out. I see him wave his arms frantically, shaking them and then applauding.

Caltech self-healing chips can recover from laser blasts, save power while healthy
Author: Nancy Kennedy
While many scientists have heard the call for self-healing electronics, their previous projects have usually had just a limited capacity to come back from the brink. Caltech has developed an integrated circuit that could take much more of a bruising. Its prototype power amplifier chip has a dedicated circuit and sensors that can change actuators in microseconds if there’s damage, re-optimizing the connections on the spot. And the chip can take a lot of that damage — 76 examples in a penny-sized cluster endured multiple laser strikes in tests (like the one above) while still ticking. The self-healing even helps while everything is in tip-top shape, as it can cut power use by watching for the usual hiccups in load and voltage. So long as Caltech can develop the technology beyond its currently expected niches of communication and imaging, many of our computing devices could eventually take a few bumps and scrapes on the inside, not just their rugged exteriors.

Can Vine’s best feature save Viddy, the one-time king of mobile video?
Author: Stacey Cook
Mobile video sharing app Viddy has actually looked like a little a mess recently. CEO Brett O’Brien was tinned, and the business this week laid off a third of its personnel to enhance operations. (Not even one year ago the business was on a tear, at the top of the App Shop, and with $ 30 million of investments in the bank). In the middle of today’s turmoil, the business is today introducing Viddy 2.0 for iPhone, an update that brings in one of Vine’s finest attributes: one-tap shooting and modifying. It’s now simpler than ever before to shoot videos with the app, however was that ever Viddy’s issue?
