The New 2DS XL will launch next week alongside two brand new games to the 3DS Family of systems: Miitopia and Hey! Pikmin. We've only had our New 2DS XL for a few days now, but are ready to tell you what we think of Nintendo's latest hardware device.

Using Xbox Design Lab Online Software
Thanks to Xbox Canada, we got the chance to experiment with the Xbox Design Lab online software to create our own controller for the Xbox One (which we will review when it arrives).

It's been a little while since we dove in and looked at a standalone speaker system from Creative. Our last few speaker reviews have all been of the Bluetooth and NFC variety, so to get back to traditional speakers is amazing! The Sound BlasterX Kratos S5 speaker from Creative has been available for a while, but still is a great system for the low price of 129.99. This PC setup will make a great addition to anyone's office space, and although we have a few issues with the system as a whole, it's a worthwhile investment for a low range surround sound system.

I was never able to get an NES Classic Edition. I never will get one of those. So when I heard the rumor of an SNES Classic Edition, I dismissed it as fake.
