Donkey Kong Country Returns.. well… returns. The classic Wii platformer has been remastered and given a 3D upgrade for it’s imminent release on the 3DS. Sporting all the features of the original game (like mine cart riding, barrel jumping and banana collecting), the new 3DS version also includes “new mode” which brings portable DK barrels and other new power-ups that bring a new gameplay experience to experienced players. Nintendo will also be celebrating the release of Donkey Kong Country Returns with a special Memorial Day event at Los Angeles Zoo & Botanical Gardens from May 24-27.
Donkey Kong Country Returns is out on 3DS on May 24th, and you can find more information after the jump.
We may not be sure what awaits us at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference Keynote, but we are sure about when–as Apple has officially confirmed June 10th at 10am Pacific for the much anticipated event. Though we’re likely to see Apple’s latest operating systems on display (both iOS and OS X), hardware announcements remain a mystery, though the experts seems to think that we’ll see some Macbook updates at the very least. If you were planning on attending this year, you may be out of luck–tickets sold out for the event in a record breaking 2 minutes; but fear not–we’ll have all of the WWDC coverage you can handle once the conference starts.
The Q10 is here and is the company’s attempt to re-introduce the world to a touch-enabled Blackberry with a QWERTY keyboard. The first thing my wireless dealer pointed out is that the device is not being “sold” properly to consumers – BlackBerry users are used to OS 7 on the Curve or Bold and expect to just pickup a Blackberry 10 device and continue where they left off; but if you’ve spent any time with BB10, things are now a bit different, making it a big adjustment for existing BlackBerry users. The keyboard itself has a great feel, much like the high-end Bold series of yesteryear – but coming from an on-screen keyboard back to a physical QWERTY is not as seamless as one would thing. I used to be a rocket on my Bold 9900, but until today didn’t realize how used to an on-screen keyboard I have become, as typing on this QWERTY really makes me feel like I have fat fingers! Lets go a bit more hands on, video-like, after the jump.
They’re portable because they’re foldable and wireless…yes, they are Kinivo’s BTH240 Bluetooth headphones, allowing you to stream any audio (from your bluetooth-enabled audio player, smartphone or tablet) to your head via Bluetooth. The stylish on-ear headphones are a great travel companion; and with an integrated rechargeable battery, you’re good for most overseas flights, as well as day-to-day commutes.

If you’re tired of carrier hopping to get that next great phone, you may want to see what Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile are up to these days. The two carriers will be getting the Samsung Galaxy S III starting in June, operating on Sprint’s 3G and 4G LTE networks in 88 different markets. While Samsung’s newer Galaxy S 4 may be getting the lion’s share of the attention these days, the GS3 remains one of the best Android devices out there, and a great get for Virgin and Boost (pricing to come at a later date). For more details, check the full PR after the jump.
