Anyone that bought Nintendo’s 3D portable early on may have laid their hands on an endangered species. The original Aqua Blue model will cease production soon, according to Nintendo Japan’s official site. In a full list of the 3DS’s ever-increasing color options, the original has been tagged (above, top left), stating that it’ll no longer be made, although there’s no official date for the literal end of the line.

Nintendo is already guiding you through the Louvre with a 3DS , but a newly published US patent application takes that kind of tourism to a very literal new level. Legend of Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto’s concept describes a way to direct lost tourists by beaming position information through an overhead grid of infrared transmitters to a mobile device (portrayed as a DS Lite ) held by the confused visitor below

Nintendo patent application tech tracks your DS from above, serves as tour guide
Little did we know that, just two months after we were trying the Wii U for ourselves, Nintendo was busy patenting nearly everything its unique game console would have to offer. A pair of just-published US Patent Office applications filed last August get into the nuts and bolts of how the controller and the legacy Wii remote will play with the new device. It’s clear that the patent work had started before Nintendo had redesigned the main system — the box at the center of the patents looks like the existing Wii — but it does show the nitty-gritty of things we only saw at last year’s Nintendo E3 keynote , such as the gun attachment or playing golf with a combination of the Wii U controller and the traditional Wiimote.

Nintendo 3DS turning purple on May 20th, takes a bruising from the ugly stick
All eyes are on Nintendo, now that it has revealed losses of $460 million . Buried in all of the financial paperwork were the revelations that it sells the 3DS at a loss , its plans for digital distribution and its projected sales figures for this year.

Nintendo aims to flog 18 million 3DS, up to 10.5 million home consoles this fiscal year
Ever since Nintendo slashed the price of the 3DS, there’s been plenty of speculation that the gaming giant has been selling the portable console at a loss. The company acknowledged that fact during its disappointing earnings report , stating, “its hardware has been sold below cost because of its significant price cut in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012,” something that’s uncharacteristic of the company’s past operations. But as with its fairly unfortunate financials, the company plans to turn things around, adding, “Nintendo expects to cease selling it below cost by the middle of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.” Nintendo confirms that it’s selling 3DS at a loss, expects that to change originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 26 Apr 2012 09:54:00 EDT

Nintendo confirms that it’s selling 3DS at a loss, expects that to change
Nintendo has announced its first annual operating loss following an initially lukewarm response to its new 3DS handheld and an aging Wii console — set to be replaced later this year. Nintendo made an operating loss of 37.3 billion yen ($459.54 million) from 2011 to 2012, but intends to spin it around to a 35 billion yen operating profit in the forthcoming year. Net sales have dropped by 36.2 percent compared to last year, despite price cuts on its existing hardware like the 3DS and Wii.

We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.

House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.

Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables. Part of pre-release 5 of the RedPower 2 mod, programmer Eloraam has also thrown in pumps and solar panels to keep crafters busy — you’re no longer limited to light switches
