Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Update (8/8): The Super Mario Adventures reprint is now up for pre-order on Amazon. Also up on Amazon Canada here.
Original (8/3): For a full year in 1992, Nintendo Power ran a comic known as “Super Mario Adventures”. Kentaro Takekuma wrote the strips, which were loosely based on Super Mario World.
Super Mario Adventures is returning after more than 20 years. VIZ Media will have the comics rounded up in a graphic novel format on October 12, according to Things From Another World.
The site has the following description:
“Super Mario Adventures, inspired by the bestselling Super Mario video game franchise, is a collection of comics that originally ran in Nintendo Power magazine in 1992-93. The peril-plagued Princess Toadstool is kidnapped by the diabolical deadbeat Bowser but super plumbers Mario and Luigi hatch a plan with their new friend Yoshi to rescue her. Are the Super Mario Bros’ plans a pipe dream? Can they stop the Koopa King before he forces the Princess to be his bride?! Long out of print, this stunning, full-color graphic novel is now available once again!”

A look at Pokemon GO’s new driving warning
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 5 Comments
When you’re driving, you shouldn’t be playing Pokemon GO. Niantic wants to make that clear with a new warning that can now be issued following today’s new update.
If you’re going too fast, you may see the notice appear. It’s a basic warning which asks users not to play and drive. You’ll need to tap “I’m a passenger” in order to continue playing. That seems pretty fair!

Pokemon GO’s new update replaces “Nearby” feature with “Sightings”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 6 Comments
Update: Now that we have slightly more extensive patch notes, here’s what Niantic has to say about Sightings officially:
“We’re currently testing a variation of the ‘Nearby Pokemon’ feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokemon UI.”
There’s another aspect of today’s Pokemon GO update not included in Niantic’s official patch notes (version 0.33.0). After applying the update, you should see that the “Nearby” feature has been replaced as “Sightings”. Nearby was removed entirely with version 1.1.0 / 0.31.0.
How Sighting actually works is unclear. Some players have been messing around with it for a bit though, and their reports may offer up some clues as to how it functions.
Pokemon GO seems to scan the area around you roughly every 15 seconds. If a new Pokemon spawns, it’ll be added to the Sighting lists. If it goes away, it’ll be removed. Those who move too far away from a Pokemon will see it disappear. Apparently the distance is roughly 700 feet.
Keep in mind that this information is entirely unofficial at the moment.
