Random: Even Suda51 Is Playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury This Weekend - Nintendo Life

Posted: 14 Feb 2021 04:30 AM PST

It's been an exciting weekend for many Nintendo Switch owners with the first big release of the year Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury now available.

It's not just us fans who have been enjoying the game, either. Yesterday, Goichi Suda, aka "Suda 51" (and the director of the upcoming Switch exclusive No More Heroes III) shared the following tweet showing off his own copy of the game and both of the new Super Mario amiibo.

A lot of responses were surprised to see you can buy the amiibo separately in certain regions and also noted how the new add-on game on the front of the Japanese version is referred to as "Fury World" instead of Bowser's Fury.

Of course, this tweet also resulted in a lot of questions about No More Heroes III. While Suda hasn't responded to any of these comments, as you might recall, the game was delayed last year until 2021.

At the time, it was explained how the pandemic had taken its toll on the game's development schedule, leaving the team with no other option but to delay the release. There's still no word on when exactly it will arrive this year.

In addition to Suda51, Bowser (sorry, Nintendo of America's president) has been playing through the game this weekend on the new Super Mario themed Switch.

Have you been playing Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury yourself over the past few days? Looking forward to the return of Travis Touchdown in No More Heroes III? Leave a comment down below.

DJI’s unannounced FPV drone is already the star of a complete unboxing video - Circuit Breaker

Posted: 13 Feb 2021 10:27 PM PST

DJI's first-ever FPV (first-person-view) drone hasn't been much of a secret for months — but an unboxing video now shows off the new quadcopter, controller and FPV goggles from practically every angle (via OsitaLV).

While the prominent "NOT FOR SALE" and "DISPLAY DEMO" stickers on the box and controller suggest that some details might change before a rumored March launch, we can clearly see a set of front- and downward-facing cameras that are likely obstacle avoidance sensors, in addition to the large main camera mounted high in the drone's shell.

The battery is a tall rectangular brick that plugs right into the back, and it seems like the kit comes with both a charger and a portable power bank of some sort — though it's unclear which device plugs into that.

In December 2020, the Trump administration added DJI to a commerce blacklist, citing ties to the Chinese government. The filing accuses the company of enabling "wide-scale human rights abuses within China through abusive genetic collection and analysis or high-technology surveillance." It has been reported that DJI has provided drones to the Chinese government for use in surveilling brutal prison camps in the Xinjiang province.

There are also potential security concerns with DJI drones. The US Interior Department and the Department of Justice are both reviewing — or have outright banned — the use of foreign-made drones.

DJI disputes the Trump administration's characterization.

Despite all that, DJI's products continue to be available in the US as of this writing.

The new controller design looks more gamepad-inspired than ever before, with individual sculpted grips for each hand and triggers around back, but also DJI's now-familiar detachable joysticks that slot inside each handle. Our video host also says the new V2 goggles feel lighter than the ones DJI originally introduced in 2019, even if the design looks quite similar.

Unfortunately, there's no footage of an actual flight quite yet, and I wouldn't expect the group that filmed this video (Dominion Drones) to provide one anytime soon: there's no trace of the video on the company's YouTube channel, and this copy comes to us via SpiderMonkeyFPV instead. Seems like someone may have gotten in trouble.

If you crave some DJI drone footage right now, though, and don't care whether it's FPV... might I suggest my colleague Vjeran's video review of the DJI Mini 2? It's pretty sweet:
