iOS 11.0.1 Released September 26, 2017

An incremental update has been released for iOS 11 handhelds including iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.  The new update, iOS 11.0.1, officially lists only minor bug fixes in its changelog, but my research has told me the update fixes a minor bug with certain email providers.

The size of the download should depend on the device you’re updating. On the iPhone 7, the update weighs in at around 250Mb.  You can download it on your iDevice right now.

iOS 11 Released September 19, 2017

Apple has just released their next major iOS update for all 64-bit compliant iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices.  The new software update brings in tons of new features including Augmented Reality improvements, an improved iPad interface, and promises to be much faster and secure.

The size of the download required for the iOS 11 update depends on the device you’re upgrading. On an iPhone 7, the update weighs in at around 1.9GB.  You will not need to install the update if you own an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X, since they ship with iOS 11 pre-installed.

Final Fantasy IX Ported To PS4 September 19, 2017

Ever since Square Enix ported Final Fantasy VII to the PS4, I had been hoping that more Final Fantasy games from the PS1-era would get released. Today, out of the blue, Square Enix has announced they have released Final Fantasy IX on the PS4.

Final Fantasy IX will be sold at a discounted price until September 29th. However, I need to ask, why hasn’t Square Enix released Final Fantasy VIII on PS4 yet?

Final Fantasy IX is out now for PS1, PC, iOS and now PS4.

Nintendo Direct 9-13-17 September 14, 2017

I know we jumped the gun a little bit yesterday by posting up about the Project Octopath Traveller demo release on the Nintendo Switch, but that was due to the fact that Nintendo waited a bit longer than usual to post the entire Nintendo Direct video up after its initial stream.  Thankfully, the entire video is now up for everyone to view.

Without further ado, here is a look at the recent Nintendo Direct. It details new and upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS.  Featured games in this video include Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Project Octopath Traveller, and it culminates in an all-new preview of Super Mario Odyssey.  Enjoy.
