The Wii U price just dropped by 50 dollars. But, will it make a difference in sales, will this help the so-called current black sheep of Nintendo? Nothing can really compare to the glory days of the Wii, it was the first of its kind, family friendly, very new age tech! Wii U Sales have been very low, so I don’t blame them for lowering price. However, the real problem still stays the same, the lack of 1^st party games like Zelda, Mario and Donkey Kong. Although all announced, none have been released for the Wii U. So how would one expect sales of the gaming console to be that of, say, the 3DS?

Speaking of Nintendo, announced Wednesday, the Nintendo 2DS. It costs 130 dollars, runs all games made for the 3DS but lacks the three-dimensional aspect of the console. Besides the fact that the 3DS has been doing great, even over the past three months as the BEST selling piece of gaming hardware, Nintendo is attempting to fight the challenge of iPads and Tablets running the market for children gaming. So to better acquaint kids with Nintendo titles I guess they just thought to drop a 130 dollar piece of machinery that works exactly like its predecessor, uses all the same games but just does not allow for 3D effects. Makes a whole lotta NO SENSE. If kids don't already have a 3DS, I am not sure if they would want this, and if they do, they might as well just spend the extra like 40 bucks to get the 3DS. Once again, Nintendo is making a confusing move.

Who doesn’t love the Makerbot. I know that if you have one, you absolutely love it. 3D printing at your fingertips is great for enthusiasts, but the Makerbot has stepped up and brought something more to play with, the Digitizer 3D Scanner. Like the Makerbot, it will cost you a pretty penny, but it completely opens up a new realm of personalizing 3D printing. Not to worry 3D design beginners, no 3D software, designing or CAD experience is needed. It essentially scans, creates a file and is sent off to be printed.

News of Parallels Access hit this Wednesday, a program that lets you use Windows and OS X on your Tablet, blurring that barrier between tablet and desktop operating systems! Parallel is most well known as virtualization software dating back to 2006 when they launched something allowing mac owners to run on Windows OS. Mind blowing capability at the time. But today they are hitting up a new level-bringing desktop apps to the iPad. iPad cannot run virtual copies of an OS designed for other computing devices, so Parallels Access is remote control software, meaning the apps you are using are really running on a powered up, internet connected Windows or PC. It is unique in its manner to give your Windows or OS X a very iPad like feel in an intuitive and useful way for consumers. Full fledged Mac and Windows apps will run as if they were made for the iPad, great for users that have that occasional need to edit or recover a file stuck on a PC!
