Airline gives passengers free Nintendo Switches


Passengers on a Southwest Airlines flight got more than a small bottle of water when they boarded their plane.

They received a Nintendo Switch system and a download code for the digital version of the “Super Mario Maker 2” game to enjoy as they traveled from Dallas to San Diego on Wednesday, July 17. Many of the passengers were headed to Comic-Con in the California city.


Mario was on hand to greet the passengers when the flight arrived.

The gaming-themed flight highlighted Southwest’s partnership with Nintendo in the Let’s Play Getaway sweepstakes that awards a daily winner a Nintendo Switch system and a download code for the digital version.

The sweepstakes end Aug. 31 with a grand prize winner and three guests receiving roundtrip air travel. RGA

Nintendo to launch mini-NES console with 30 classic games


Gamers of the ’90s will experience a sudden rush of nostalgia, as gaming giant Nintendo announced it’s bringing back the iconic Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)—in a much smaller form.

The NES classic edition will retain its retro design and serve as a “mini-replica” of the original gaming platform, according to TechCrunch.

Apart from its compact feature, the popular console will come with 30 built-in games including classics like Super Mario Bros. 1, 2 and 3, The Legend Of Zelda, Punch Out, Final Fantasy, Donkey Kong and Bubble Bobble.

The console will be able to connect to a TV via an HDMI cable. It will also include a controller designed to work just like the original rectangular NES gamepad. The new controller is compatible with a Wii Remote, and can be used to play virtual console games on a Wii or Wii U.

In addition to HDMI support and minimal cartridges, the returning mini-console will also feature multiple suspend points for users, which will make password security a lot easier.

Nintendo will roll out the NES Classic Edition on Nov. 11. It will be priced at $59.99 (P2,812.96).  Khristian Ibarrola
