Gamescom 2016: Mafia 3

I have never really been a huge fan of the Mafia games but Mafia 3 may change that for me. I once called New Orleans home and there is a certain excitement that comes with that. Also, he feel of the game seems to be a lot different than the other games. The main character is breath of fresh air for the series. With underlying themes involving voodoo the rise back to the top, this may be a definite buy this year. Check out this trailer from Gamescom 2016.

Rumors about the Nintendo NX have been floating around for a while now we have some more solid information. According to Eurogamer, the next Nintendo console will be a handheld device. Like many reports have stated in the past, the handheld will have it’s own display with controllers that disconnect from the device. There will also be a dock that connects to the user’s television when the console is in use at home. With this being a mobile device, it will use a mobile chip. If you are an Android user, I am sure you have heard of the Nvidia Tegra. The Nintendo NX will also be a cartridge based system. Now that we know it is a handheld system, this is not very surprising to me.

I wonder how different this machine will be from the current 3DS systems. I also wonder if the dock will give the system more horse power much like the Microsoft Surface Book. I am definitely intrigued about the Nintendo NX. I am not sure how likely I am to buy it yet.
