Mario Tennis Aces bundle offers two games for the price of one

Nintendo Switch Bundles


Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Switch bundle coming exclusively to Walmart for $359. The bundle will include the Mario Tennis Aces and 1-2 Switch, both in the form of redeemable eShop codes, alongside the console itself. 
The bundle will be available starting on September 5, 2018 and, for now, looks to be a US-exclusive available only through Walmart.
The console will launch just before the roll-out of Nintendo’s new online service which is expected out in the second-half of the month. 
The service, which Nintendo calls Nintendo Switch Online, will offer cloud storage backup for game saves – something Breath of the Wild owners will be especially excited about – as well as a small library of classic NES titles like Donkey Kong, Dr. Mario and Balloon Fight. 
Outside of the bundle the Nintendo Switch would run you $299 while Mario Tennis Aces and 1-2 Switch sell for $59 and $39, respectively. Basically you’re buying Mario Tennis Aces and the Nintendo Switch and getting an extra game for free.
Currently Nintendo has bundles that include The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart 8 with the Mario Tennis Aces bundle to join the lineup shortly.

Our Verdict:

☆☆☆☆☆
One-part handheld and one-part console, Nintendo's latest piece of hardware wants to be the only device you need for gaming. In many ways it's a big success, offering an exceptional level of handheld graphical quality, before seamlessly transitioning into a home console – but this very adaptability has necessitated compromises which mean it isn't quite as good as the dedicated consoles and handhelds that have gone before it.
 FOR
  • Unique hybrid design
  • HD Rumble
  • Two controllers included
  • Bright, crisp, colorful screen
 AGAINST
  • Joy-Cons charge only on console without accessory
  • Split D-pad
  • Oddly placed right analogue stick
  • Limited online service at launch

Linktree’s free workaround lets you add multiple links to your Instagram bio

Palm Phone review: A tiny tragedy

Image
Unlike most phones we review, the Palm Phone does not claim to be the equal of another device. It doesn't even necessarily claim to be  good . The Verizon-exclusive Palm Phone is billed as a companion to the phone you actually like using. A phone that's minimalist and limited by design can't be "good" in the traditional sense, but can it be bad in a way that you still might want one? Sadly, no. The TCL-made Palm Phone is fascinating because of how odd it is. So many phones these days are predictable and boring, but this one is at least  interesting . It's not interesting enough to buy at $350, though, and certainly not when you can only get it as a secondary device on your already spendy Verizon line.

Our favorite iOS apps for the iPhone and iPad in 2018

Image
As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market. Unlike typical image editors that allow you to remove red eye or apply a filter, Pixaloop allows you to create stunning photo animations with a few c...
