Cosmically Cozy Adventure My Little Universe Launches on Nintendo Switch, PC

LIMASSOL, Cyprus – Oct. 5, 2023 – My Little Universe, the wholesome worldbuilding sandbox adventure with more than 30 million downloads on mobile devices from developer Estoty and publisher SayGames, blasts off today on an interplanetary journey on PC via Steam, Steam Deck, and Nintendo Switch™. 

Craft chromatic continents from tiny tiles across nine worlds. Gather supplies with a trove of tools to unlock procedurally generated hexes. Each tile uncovered offers a chance at new discoveries including scarce supplies, troves of treasure or adorable adversaries like gitty goblins, yelping yetis, precarious pirates and giant gingermen. 

Chop and mine through verdant forests, snowy tundras and undersea reefs. Collect wood, stone, gemstones, and other valuables to cultivate green flatlands, convoluted caves, and aqueous grottos. Manage these materials to refine wood and stone into stable building materials. Upgrade gear, armor, boats, and more, boosting their effectiveness by increasing resource yields and damage in battles.

Uncover a universe of untapped potential as a lone explorer or as a caravan of four curious cosmonauts. Work together in couch co-op or online multiplayer via Steam remote play and let nothing stand in the way of curating a perfect little universe.

“As a child, I loved going on adventures. Exploring the forests, participating in rafting expeditions. There’s nothing quite like it when you are at a newfound place exploring wilderness.” said Davis Toliasvili, CEO of Estoty Riga. “That spirit of exploration and the camaraderie of shared experiences is something we get to share amongst all audiences with My Little Universe.”

Mythical Games Brings Street Racing and Car Ownership to Web3 Gaming with Official Launch of Nitro Nation World Tour

Following the launch of the NFL’s first Web3 game, Mythical is partnering with CM Games, McLaren Automotive, and DeadMau5 for the launch of its first AAA mobile racing game.

[Seattle, Washington] – October 5, 2023 –  Continuing its unrivaled momentum in 2023, today, Mythical Games officially launched Nitro Nation World Tour (NNWT) on Android and iOS. This AAA mobile racing game was developed in partnership with CM Games, the creators of the critically acclaimed Nitro Nation franchise. Nitro Nation World Tour takes players around the world while they race, earn, collect, and digitally own hundreds of fully licensed cars from the world’s most sought-after car manufacturers, including Aston Martin, Jaguar, and Pagani, among others, with McLaren Automotive as the season one headliner.

Nitro Nation World Tourfeatures several game modes, including real-time PvP races – known as Duels – tournaments, seasonal play, events, challenges & trials, and ghost races. The game also includes a robust campaign mode that offers an immersive story and memorable characters. To achieve a top ranking, players must work to develop a well-curated collection of cars, improve their racing skills, and possess a deep understanding of how track lengths and car tuning can affect their races.

In addition to CM Games, Mythical is collaborating with world-renowned electronic musician and car enthusiast deadmau5 on the launch of the game in conjunction with his upcoming tour, starting on October 5th in Tokyo, Japan, with NNWT creative visuals included in his live show production. As an official Nitro Nation World Tour partner, deadmau5 will be featured prominently in the first season of the in-game World Tour festival, enabling players to participate in a themed racing event and compete for an exclusive deadmau5-themed in-game car.

“I’ve always loved living on the cutting edge of technology, and I’m proud to be a partner and launch the game during my upcoming Day of the deadmau5 shows,” said deadmau5 (Joel Zimmerman). “I’ve said before that music is 80 percent fun and 20 percent work. Video games, for me, are all about fun. I hope you’ll enjoy playing the game as much as I have.”

“It’s been exciting to work with great partners such as CM Games, McLaren Automotive, and deadmau5 to help us launch Nitro Nation World Tour,” said Jamie Jackson, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer of Mythical Games. “We’re really looking forward to seeing how the community rallies around the game, and it will be fun to see how collectors are going to trick out their rides to either sell or race against their competitors.” 

Nitro Nation World Tour incorporates digital collectibles in the form of both its cars and workshops that players can purchase, hold, or trade throughout gameplay. While the cars are used to race, the workshops exist to maintain or improve the cars’ performance through upgrades, repairs, and customizations. Players can also loan out the cars they own or rent other players’ vehicles to experience a different make or model. 

Nitro Nation World Tour incorporates a social networking feature that allows players to join or create their own Social Club, which act as associations for like-minded players to work together towards mutual racing goals and provide team support.

Nitro Nation World Tour is built on the Mythos blockchain gaming ecosystem and is powered by MYTH, Mythical’s native governance token for in-game currencies. Governed by the Mythos DAO, and with support from industry leaders in Web3 gaming, the Mythos ecosystem aims to democratize games and allow players and creators to participate in game value chains through the benefit of Web3. 

Nitro Nation World Tour is now available in both the App Store and Google Play Store for download on mobile devices.

Introducing Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2: A Smart Way to Keep Track of Valuables

Galaxy SmartTag2’s usability and design give users more peace of mind, power over their tracking experience and offers more versatile ‘finding’ experience

Sydney, Australia – October 5, 2023 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced Galaxy SmartTag2, launching in Australia on October 12. Galaxy SmartTag2 enables new and better ways for Samsung users to keep track of valuables. Upgrades to the design and usability create even more use cases for the device than ever before.

“We are constantly looking at ways to make people’s lives more convenient through Samsung Galaxy’s innovations,” said Jaeyeon Jung, Executive Vice President and Head of SmartThings, Device Platform Center at Samsung Electronics. “With the Galaxy SmartTag2, we set out to make sure Samsung Galaxy users receive assistance in finding their belongings in an easy and intuitive way. With an enhanced finding experience and a longer battery life, Galaxy SmartTag2 will provide users with greater peace of mind for longer and in more situations.”

The Galaxy SmartTag2 is available in two colour options, Black and White, for AU$55 as a standalone purchase or as part of a 4-pack for AU$169. 

Intuitive Features Make Finding Lost Items Easier Than Ever1

Galaxy SmartTag2’s brand-new Lost Mode2 allows users to register their contact information to display a message when the SmartTag2 is scanned. This means a Galaxy SmartTag2 attached to a pet’s collar is now a convenient way to ensure the pet owner’s phone number is always there, in most places where the pet might wander. Lost Mode works with any Samsung mobile device with NFC reader and web browser. 

Galaxy SmartTag2 now provides a Compass View feature, enhancing the user experience by providing arrows to show the direction and distance of the Galaxy SmartTag2 in relation to the user. This mode is available on any UWB-supported Galaxy smartphone, such as the Galaxy S23 Ultra3.

The SmartThings Find app has also been upgraded, with newly registered Galaxy SmartTags now installing a shortcut to the app on the user’s smartphone, allowing users to launch SmartThings Find more quickly. Additionally, the app now features a full screen map view and an intuitive interface, making the user experience even more seamless.

Finally, when switching Galaxy smartphones, SmartTag2 now automatically re-syncs to your new Galaxy smartphone using your Samsung account.

New Modes Mean Longer-Lasting Battery4

Users can now enjoy Galaxy SmartTag2 with the brand-new Power Saving Mode, available alongside Normal mode. For users who rely on the Galaxy SmartTag2 to continually track items, Power Saving Mode is the perfect option to extend battery life while ensuring you can keep an eye on your things. Even in Normal Mode, battery life now lasts up to 500 days. With the flexibility to switch between two modes, users can track their valuables – from car keys to bikes – for longer.

Sleek Design Adapts to Even More Conditions and Brings More Use Cases

Galaxy SmartTag2’s new compact size and ring-shaped design was created with ease of use in mind. These accessories can also attach to bags and luggage.

Galaxy SmartTag2’s durability has also been upgraded with an IP675 rating for water and dust resistance. For pet owners, there’s no need to worry about everyday wear and tear on the device from their pet’s water bowls or running around outside.

Galaxy SmartTag2 also supports a new pet walking mode, making it easy for users to log walks with their furry friends.

Users can accessorise and help protect their Galaxy SmartTag2 with an array of cases available from Samsung.com/au from October 12. Starting from AU$29, the Galaxy SmartTag2 cases have been designed in an array of bold colours and for different needs, so no matter how users put their SmartTag2 to use they can have the confidence it will be protected.

Peace of Mind, Repackaged

Galaxy SmartTag2 takes advantage of both Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and UWB capabilities, leveraging Augmented Reality (AR) Find technology to visually guide users toward their item using their Samsung Galaxy smartphone camera. In addition, Galaxy SmartTag2 works within maximum Bluetooth range of 120 meters and can control smart home appliances through the SmartThings app.

Availability

The Galaxy SmartTag2 and Galaxy SmartTag2 cases will be available in Australia from October 12 from Samsung.com/au and select retail partners.

Customers who purchase the latest Galaxy S23 FE between October 12 and November 1 will be eligible to receive a bonus 4-pack Galaxy SmartTag2 and battery pack via redemption. Offer available from Samsung.com/au and select retail partners. Terms and conditions apply.
