Nintendo and Sony spent the early nineties arguing over a Super NES compact disc attachment that never reached store shelves. Throaty Mumbo read that history and aimed lower, at the original front-loading NES, a console with no disc hardware and an expansion port that sat unused on the bottom of millions of gray boxes. His project page calls the result NESCD-001, an unofficial homemade compact disc add-on built for fun and documented in a build video plus a public GitHub repo.
Electronic Arts spent nearly four years treating Motive Studio’s Iron Man game like a locked workshop. Announced in September 2022 as a single-player action adventure and the first title in a multi-game Marvel deal, the project then went dark. Fans filled the gap with rumors. Some of those rumors said the game was dead. Friday’s leak, and the company’s own reply a few hours later, said otherwise.
Daily NK, a Seoul newsroom that reports on the North, handed Wall Street Journal reporter Dasl Yoon a mid-tier smartphone carried out of the country in 2023. The device is a Hyang 701, built that same year, and it looks like any other Android phone until you start tapping. It handles voice calls, texts, and a full set of apps. It will not reach the open internet. Wi-Fi stays locked. The only network available is the state-run intranet.
Wild Dog just announced Japanese Ramen Simulator, a Steam management sim scheduled for September 2026 that puts as many as six people behind one counter. Players run the entire shop. Prep work, broth, noodles, toppings, service, conversation with guests, and cleanup all happen on the same shift. Orders arrive in a steady stream. Noodle texture, broth temperature, aroma, umami, and how long the bowl waits on the pass all affect the result.
People keep saying the same thing about the Skyrover X1, priced at $699 (was $819), is that it’s a DJI Mini 4 Pro with a different badge. That rumor isn’t just forum gossip because fans have discovered code that still points to DJI cloud services, encryption keys that match DJI software, and FlySafe references that have been awkwardly renamed. The arms fold in the same way. Sensor windows are in the same locations. If you’re looking for a compact travel drone that you can still order in the United States, this might be it.
