The official website is now open for the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. Access it here. There’s not too much new aside from the announcement shared earlier this morning, but the page itself is neat.
There’s also this “Classics” logo at the bottom… and you know what that means: the speculation pot is already stirring. Could Nintendo opt to bring out more versions of its retro systems?

Pokemon GO Plus back up for pre-order on the Nintendo UK store
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Pre-orders for Pokemon GO Plus went up around E3 time, including the Nintendo UK store. But just like in North America, they sold out fairly quickly. They are at least back up again here.
If you’re in the U.S., there unfortunately aren’t really any options at the moment. Amazon and GameStop both sold out of pre-orders quickly. We’ll let you know if they do happen to return.
We’ll also mention that the Nintendo UK listing says Pokemon GO Plus will be delivered by August 31. This may be a second shipment for the game, hence the later date.

Pokemon GO has managed to leap over another set of popular apps. According to SimilarWeb, it’s now surpassed Pandora, Twitter, Netflix, Hangouts and Spotify for daily use in the United States. The report goes on to speculate that Snapchat, WhatsApp, and other popular social apps will be next based on Pokemon GO’s performance.
On July 11, 5.9 percent of all Android owners in the U.S. used Pokemon GO. That’s 46 percent more than the 4.1 percent who used the Twitter app on the same day.
Going back to game-specific talk, Pokemon GO is above Candy Crush Saga (8.7 percent) and Clash of Clans (5.2 percent) on installs at the moment. It also has a larger reach than Viber, LinkedIn, ESPN, iFunny, Lyft, musical.ly, and Tinder.
