Nintendo Switch Getting Adjustable Charging Stand For Longer Tabletop Sessions

Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Switch peripheral. An adjustable charging stand for the hybrid console is coming in July for $20 ($30 AUD), the company announced today. Why would you want one? Nintendo says it will help you “enjoy longer play sessions in tabletop mode.

The Switch’s charging port is on the bottom of the system, and that makes it difficult to charge while playing in tabletop mode with the kickstand. With the adjustable charging stand you can play while charging so you can stay in the action longer if you want. Additionally, you can adjust the angle of the stand to one that suits your preferred viewing angle. Here’s what it looks like:

This announcement comes just ahead of E3 2018, where Nintendo plans to show off lots more of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch. Whereas last year Nintendo focused heavily on Super Mario Odyssey, this year the spotlight is understandably going to Smash. The game launches later this year, and it’s expected to help Switch sales improve further still.

The Switch has sold 17.79 million units by Nintendo’s latest count. Nintendo plans to sell 20 million more during this fiscal year.

Do you think you’ll pick up the new adjustable charging stand? What other accessories for the system would you like to see? Let us know in the comments below!

Google Chrome Update Breaks Audio in Hundreds of Web-Based Games

Google Chrome’s latest update had good intentions, but it’s also had the unfortunate side-effect of removing audio from web-based games.

The update – outlined here – stops videos from autoplaying with sound. This is great for annoying autoplaying ads, but as Kotaku picked up, it’s broken a bunch of web-based games by silencing their audio.

Creator of Getting Over It Bennett Foddy tweeted that the update is “a disaster for games and audio art on the web”, while Stephen’s Sausage Roll’s Stephen Lavelle said that the update ” broke all of the audio in my html5 games as well.”

Marvel’s Deadpool Finale Balances Comedy and Tragedy

Gerry Duggan’s long Deadpool run has tended to work best when the humor takes a back seat to pathos and tragedy. Duggan knows how to put Wade Wilson through the wringer. It’s fitting that his run comes to a close in an oversized issue that emphasizes both comedy and tragedy in equal measure. It’s a suitably downbeat end to an influential series.

Duggan and his artists work the humor out of their systems in the first half of this issue, which basically involves the Avengers struggling and failing to take down the fugitive Deadpool after Wade has gained the ability to make anyone around him vomit uncontrollably. This is a real “your mileage may vary” sequence. If gross-out gags are your jam – especially gags that go on long enough that they stop being amusing and then circle right around to being funny again – then these pages won’t disappoint. Everyone else may find it a tough slog. It is pretty entertaining to see just how many different ways there are for superheroes to shower innocent bystanders in puke.

An Iron Man suit prop has vanished from an LA warehouse.

The LA Times reports Los Angeles police are investigating the disappearance of the the prop, which is believed to have went missing from a Pacoima warehouse sometime between February and late April.

Valve Making Entire Steam Library Playable On Mobile Via Free App

Valve has announced two free mobile apps that will allow you to play any game or video in your Steam Library on any supported iOS or Android devices.

The Steam Link app, which is slated to release the week of May 21, will work similarly to the physical Steam Link device. It will allow you to run games on your PC that you then stream and play on any device using the app, as long as the host PC is connected either to a 5Ghz network or plugged in with an ethernet cable.

How you will actually control those games is a different question altogether, although Steam’s Big Picture mode already has a history of allowing controls to be highly customizable in games that otherwise don’t support it. The Steam Link app will support the use of a Steam Controller and MFI controllers, and you’ll likely need to use something similar as most games won’t have native support for touch controls.
