Infinity Blade iOS game to be released in arcades with a 46-inch screen

Infinity Blade is one of the most graphically impressive games available for iOS devices. The same would be true for other platforms if the Chair Entertainment-developed game weren’t an Apple exclusive. Really, Infinity Blade gives even HD console games a run for their money thanks to its gorgeous art design and lovingly rendered world. It’s no surprise then to learn that the game will soon be appearing on a much larger screen.

Infinity Blade FX, from Adrenaline Amusements, will bring the fantasy-infused Punch-Out-alike to arcades in a cabinet that sports a 46-inch touchscreen. It will make its debut this coming weekend in Park City, UT at the 2011 Gaming and Electronics Expo. The game will then start appearing at Dave & Buster’s locations around the country starting on October 28. Players will be able to use two hands to interact with the game, and the arcade cabinet will include multiplayer support.

The game will eventually follow previous TouchFX arcade releases of mobile hits Flight Control and Fruit Ninja into other locations. One of which will hopefully one day be my home. The arcade cabinet arrives roughly a month before Chair releases Infinity Blade 2 on December 1. It was announced just last week as yet another iOS exclusive at Apple’s iPhone 4S unveiling.

Discord is making its Android app more like iOS, and in a good way
Discord app icon on the screen smartphone

If you own an Android phone, you may have noticed that the iPhone gets new features from your favorite apps before Android devices do -- or, in some cases, not at all. Discord is changing that by switching to React Native for its Android app.

According to a blog post written by Discord's product team, React Native is an open-source UI software framework that will allow the company to release new features across all platforms simultaneously. In other words, Discord users who have Android will receive all the new features the company introduces at the same the iOS app does instead of waiting for them to come weeks or months after iOS.

iOS 16 lets you pair Nintendo Switch controllers to your iPhone
Two players play Nintendo Switch.

Apple forgot to mention one important detail about iOS 16 at its annual WWDC conference yesterday: iPhone users will be able to play games with their Nintendo Switch Pro and Joy-Con controllers.

iOS 16 won't be released to everyone's iPhones until fall, but it is currently out as a developer preview, giving devs ample opportunities to test out and discover some of the new operating system's quirks and exploits. Riley Testut, the developer behind the Delta emulator and AltStore, shared his discovery of iOS 16 natively supporting the Nintendo Switch Pro and Joy-Con controllers, although they show up as a single device. He reported that "they work perfectly with Delta," which emulates games from SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
