Eggy by minnimi, launching on Kickstarter soon
Like a combination Funko Pop! and fidget toy, the Eggy by minnimi will be launching on Kickstarter July 17, 2017.
I’ll let minnimi describe the concept in their own words:
Inspired from traditional Roly-Poly toy, EGGY is redesigned with a minimalistic feel and an added dose of cuteness. With this, we have found the perfect balance between art, toy and engagement (interactive). The concept is based on the ancient Japanese philosophy of “Okiagari” which means to get up and arise. Symbolically, this toy represents resilience, a quality which is so needed in today’s world.
It looks like a cute and fun idea and we’ll be keeping an eye on this product after the Kickstarter launches. In the mean-time, check out the following two videos that describe more of what Eggy is about:
Finally, Eggy is on social media and the Web:

The all new Halo Board Carbon Fiber Electric Skateboard – Better than a Hoverboard?
Although I tried my best to participate in the hoverboard craze (or should I say, Self-balancing scooter craze?), I just couldn’t get the hang of it. The Halo Board on the other hand offers a more familiar skateboard form factor, which I suspect will make it a lot easier for me and others like me who were “thrown” by the surprisingly unnatural feel of the other design.
The underside of the Halo Board.
The all-new design of the carbon fiber Halo Board electric skateboard translates to a weight of just 14.75 lbs and a generous carrying capacity of up to 286 lbs. On a three hour charge of its 3000 watt dual motor design, you’ll get up to a 12 mile range, although naturally that will be lower if you regularly top out at its max speed of about 22 MPH.
Taking another lesson from the hoverboard craze and the insane issues with exploding batteries, the Halo Board features a 7AH certified firesafe LG lithium ion battery to go along with a UL certified charger. Perhaps an even bigger contrast is that the Halo Board comes with an ergonomic Bluetooth remote control for instant acceleration, braking, and reversing.
The wireless Bluetooth remote control.
Interestingly, even on hills, the Halo Board can still perform. It can power up and over a 25 degree hill grade and its regenerative eABS system slows you as you ride down. With its custom-made aluminum trucks and 83MM wheels with 78A softness, it should do well absorbing the impact and rumble you’d normally get on rougher roads.
There’s a lot of tech in there, but it’s still surprisingly thin!
As you can see from the photos, the Halo Board looks pretty cool as well. I’m especially impressed by how thin the board is considering all the power that it packs inside. Even its dimensions of 36 x 9.8 inches belie the tech its packing. I’ll definitely continue to keep an eye on the Halo Board after it starts shipping in July.

Nintendo Officially Announces Super NES Classic Edition!
Well, color me surprised. After assuming that Nintendo would give up on the mini plug and play consoles concept after quickly discontinuing the NES Mini, we have an announcement of a Super NES Mini called the Super Nintendo Classic Edition. My argument against the release of this system was the belief that with the Nintendo Switch being the success that it is, that it was no longer necessary to continue the Mini line, which might be distracting. I was clearly wrong.
The SNES Mini certainly features an interesting game line-up and physically looks fantastic, but it’s a shame that they’re still sticking with wired controllers. At least there’s two controllers this time. Now it’s just up to Nintendo to release enough supply where the scalpers don’t try to take advantage of eager buyers with markups many times the list price.
Here’s the press release:
Now You’re Playing with Super Power! Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
Mini 16-Bit System Launches Sept. 29 with 21 Games; Includes Unreleased Star Fox 2
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo’s follow-up console to the legendary Nintendo Entertainment System, launched in 1991 and introduced what many consider some of the greatest video games of all time.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo’s follow-up console to the legendary Nintendo Entertainment System, launched in 1991 and introduced what many consider some of the greatest video games of all time – classics such as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Super Mario Kart, Super Metroid and F-ZERO.
On Sept. 29, this beloved console is coming back to stores in the form of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition. The mini system, which contains 21 pre-installed classic games and can easily be plugged into any high-definition TV using the included HDMI cable, will be available at a suggested retail price of $79.99. And for the first time, players who pick up the system can enjoy the intergalactic adventure Star Fox 2, the sequel to the original Star Fox game that was created during the Super NES era but never released … anywhere!
“While many people from around the world consider the Super NES to be one of the greatest video game systems ever made, many of our younger fans never had a chance to play it,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “With the Super NES Classic Edition, new fans will be introduced to some of the best Nintendo games of all time, while longtime fans can relive some of their favorite retro classics with family and friends.”
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition has the same look and feel of the original system – only smaller – and comes pre-loaded with 21 incredible games:
Contra III: The Alien Wars ™
Donkey Kong Country ™
EarthBound ™
Final Fantasy III
F-ZERO ™
Kirby ™ Super Star
Kirby’s Dream Course ™
The Legend of Zelda ™ : A Link to the Past ™
Mega Man ® X
Secret of Mana
Star Fox ™
Star Fox ™ 2
Street Fighter ® II Turbo: Hyper Fighting
Super Castlevania IV ™
Super Ghouls ’n Ghosts ®
Super Mario Kart ™
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars ™
Super Mario World ™
Super Metroid ™
Super Punch-Out!! ™
Yoshi’s Island ™
All of these games would be considered classics by anyone’s standards, and some of them in particular – Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III, EarthBound and Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars – are massive role-playing games that can take dozens of hours to complete. Even for super fans who have played all of these games multiple times, the inclusion of the never-before-released Star Fox 2 game will offer them something entirely new to enjoy – ifthey can unlock it by proving their skills in the original Star Fox game. (Well, they only have to complete the first level – we didn’t want to make it too hard!)
Super Nintendo Classic Edition (aka, SNES Mini, Super NES Mini)
Included with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition are one HDMI cable, one USB charging cable with AC adapter and two wired Super NES Classic Controllers, perfect for playing multiplayer games. Having two controllers will make it easy for two players to dive into multiplayer action right away. Some of the games with multiplayer options include Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting, Super Mario Kart, Contra III: The Alien Wars and Secret of Mana.
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super NES Classic Edition launches on Sept. 29 at a suggested retail price of $79.99.
