Nintendo announces new 3DS LL for Japan and 3DS XL for the United States

For the people who do not have the child-sized hands to play Nintendo's 3DS comfortably but still want to play Nintendo's latest games, your wait is finally over. Nintendo announced yesterday that they will be releasing a successor to the DSi XL/LL, the 3DS XL/LL. This new offering from Nintendo will be called the Nintendo 3DS LL for Japan and the Nintendo 3DS XL for the United States. The new 3DS XL will have a 4.88 inch top screen and a 4.18 inch bottom screen. The new 3DS's screens are more than an inch bigger than the regular 3DS's screens and it comes with a 4GB SD card. In Japan, you can get the new 3DS LL for 18,900 yen (around $237.38) on July 28th in white, red and black, or silver and black versions. In the United States, you can get the 3DS XL for $200 on August 19th in red or blue versions. The new 3DS XL may not be a very compelling option compared to the likes of the Playstation Vita, when you get better graphics, better games, and better game play at only $50 more with the Vita. We personally own a DSi XL and this still does not seem more compelling to buy over a Playstation Vita. If you are a Nintendo fan, then this may be your next handheld console to buy.

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

Moto G: Moto Grrrreat!

Before the Moto X was officially announced, people speculated that it might be offered at an incredibly low off-contract price. Some people even guessed that it would be $199 off - contract . This was sadly not true, but Motorola did say that they would eventually offer a device similar to the Moto X, but with a lower unlocked price. Motorola also said that the cheaper device would be geared towards more markets than the United States, like Brazil and other emerging markets. They have finally taken off the covers of the Moto G, and it is almost exactly as Motorola said it would be. It looks like a Moto X, but it has less expensive internals. Many other smartphone manufacturers have made cheaper versions of their flagship handsets, but they almost always turn out to be pieces of junk. Is the Moto G a worthwhile handset, even at its $179 off-contract price? Can you be happy with the Moto G as your primary device. Scroll onward to find out, but you can just look at the title if you wan...

Hands-On with the Motorola Droid Maxx and Droid Ultra

Even though the Moto X is going to be on every US carrier, Motorola still feels the need to have a line of Droid handsets on Verizon. Motorola’s Droid Razr HD, Maxx HD, and Razr M were relatively successful products, and they were actually really good.  The Maxx HD brought hours and hours of battery life, a speedy processor, and a decent HD display. The Razr M was a very nice smartphone in a small package, and was one of the best small Android phones you could buy at the time. This year, Verizon and Motorola unveiled the Motorola Droid Ultra, Maxx, and Motorola Droid Mini at a launch event a while back.  These products are now available for $200, $300, and $100 on contract respectively at Verizon, so we decided to try out the Ultra and Maxx handsets for ourselves. Can these Droids stand up to the likes of the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Motorola’s own Moto X? Are these the Droids you’re looking for? Scroll onwards to find out the answers to these questions and more ...
