Over eight years after taking the world by storm, Nintendo’s 3DS line appears to be winding down. The Switch made the portable console somewhat obsolete, but even as Nintendo leaves the dual-screen device behind, its legacy will reportedly influence the future of the company’s consoles for years to come.

Just a day after The Wall Street Journal reported on Nintendo’s plans to release two new Switch models “as early as this summer,” Eurogamer has chimed in with a report of its own. Sources close to Nintendo have told the publication that Nintendo “is hoping to cater to the same two audiences it eventually evolved 3DS to serve with 2DS and New 3DS XL.” So, a cheaper model for younger fans, and a premium model for “avid [gamers].”

We’re still a few months away from the halfway mark of 2019, and already Google has sent some pretty high-profile products to an early grave — products that the company had high initial hopes for, like its Inbox email service and its failed Facebook killer Google+. But this, as we all know, is really par for the course when it comes to the search giant, which has tried so many experiments over the years with products, apps and services that didn’t quite work out as planned that it’s ended up building quite a crowded graveyard of failed ambitions.

Maybe there’s even a few of those that you loved and are still frustrated with Google for killing them.

The days of the energy drink craze may be behind us but sugary, vitamin-packed beverages are still pretty popular. In Zambia, Africa, one popular energy drink was packing a bit too much of a punch and regulators have now banned it. The drink wasn’t overloaded with caffeine or B vitamins, but was instead hiding a secret ingredient: Viagra.

As Reuters reports, the drink known as Power Natural High Energy Drink SX began having unexpected reactions to the beverage, prompting further investigation and testing. Ultimately, the drink was found to contain the erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil citrate, which is sold under the brand name Viagra.

As of today, we have exactly one month left to wait until Avengers: Endgame finally hits theaters around the world. At this point, there’s no question whatsoever that it’s going to be the biggest movie of the year. In fact, when the smoke clears and everything is said and done, it should end up being one of the top-5 highest grossing movies of all time. Avengers: Infinity War is currently #4 on the list with a global total of $2.05 billion, and it had what might be the best cliffhanger of all time. Everyone is dying to see how our favorite heroes will manage not only to defeat Thanos, but also to undo the snap and somehow resurrect the billions and billions of lives across the universe that were taken by the snap.

Avengers: Endgame is indeed the most hotly anticipated movie of the decade thanks to that heartbreaking ending in Infinity War, but we still have a month to go before we find out how the surviving heroes will come together and make things right. Well, that is unless that monster leak we covered yesterday pans out and the entire movie was just spoiled. In the meantime, Marvel Studios will continue to tease Endgame periodically over the next few weeks, and it just celebrated the one month countdown by releasing a new series of character posters.

Dubbed the P30 series, Huawei’s new devices, not surprisingly, bring a whole lot to the table with a particular focus on taking mobile photography to the next level.
