Axiom Verge 'probably' coming to Wii U in 2016

by Jonathan Holmes

Destructoid has had Metroid on the brain all week. Believe it or not, we've secretly been holding back from writing more about the series than we already have. We almost put together a feature about some of the awesome looking Metroid-likes that are currently on the horizon (including Ghost Song, Chasm, and Paradise Lost) but we didn't want to burn you out on the topic. 

Our current Metroid obsession may be nearly as intense as the love that Axiom Verge developer Tom Happ feels for the series. Probably not though. Few people love Metroid enough to spend five years of their life working on a game that's basically a love letter to Metroid and Super Metroid, but that's exactly what he did. Even fewer people would probably use the Destructoid comments section to tell the world that he "...can't commit to anything, but Axiom Verge will *probably* be available for Wii U in 2016. 3DS is quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different. Should Nintendo be reading this and decide to lend me a hand, that'd be VERY appreciated!!"

Operation AxiomMergeTroid anyone?

Researchers Devise a Simple Method For Recycling Rare Earth Magnets

by Maddie Stone

You’ve probably heard a bit about rare Earth elements. They’ve got unpronounceable names like ytterbium and praseodymium, and they’re found in nearly ever piece of tech you own. Despite their value, we’re do a piss poor job recycling them. But chemists are now hoping to change that.

"That Was Our Soccer Ball!"

There's so much fail packed into this 15-second video! The comedic moment comes at the end, with the anguished cry of a child, "That was our soccer ball!"

The First PipBoy We’ll See This Year

by Brian Benchoff

You heard that we’re shutting down Hackaday on November 11, 2015, right? That’s the release of Fallout 4, and trust me: I’m not getting anything done that day.  A new game in the Fallout series means more power armor cosplay builds, and hundreds of different wearable electronics from the friendly folks at Vault-Tec. I speak of the PipBoy, the wrist-mounted computer of the Fallout series, and [THEMCV] built the first one we’ll see this year. It won’t be the last.

The PipBoy [THEMCV] created is the 3000a model, the same one found in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. We’ve seen a few real-live versions of the PipBoy before; this one used the PipBoy prop that came with the Amazon exclusive special edition of Fallout 3. Things have changed in the years since the release of Fallout 3, and  to build his PipBoy, [THEMCV] just bought one from Shapeways.

The electronics consist of a Raspberry Pi Model A, 3.5″ LCD, a battery pack, and a great piece of software to emulate the software of the PipBoy 3000. It looks great, but [THEMCV] still needs to find a few retrofuturistic buttons and dials to complete the PipBoy experience.

Video below.

Amazon Is Only Going To Pay Authors When Each Page Is Read

by Soulskill
An anonymous reader writes: Amazon has a new plan to keep self-published authors honest: they're only going to pay them when someone actually reads a page. Peter Wayner at the Atlantic explores how this is going to change the lives of the authors — and the readers. Fat, impressive coffee table books are out if no one reads them. Thin, concise authors will be bereft. Page turners are in.

Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke appeared on The Graham Norton Show to discuss how she felt about the show's deaths in Season 5 — particularly that last one

"The latest, the last death, was definitely ... that was a tough one, out of nowhere," she said.

Clarke (who plays Daenerys Targaryen) also taking about shooting a "rape scene" with Jason Momoa (Khal Drogo), and how he managed to bring some levity to the situation

"He decided to, for one of the scenes — which was on his back and my face — he decided to not use a modesty sock, but use a beautiful pink, fluffy sock," she said. "So getting that closeup from me, looking petrified and just like I didn't want it to happen was just lots of laughter." Read more...

30 Years After the Goonies: Where Are They Now?

by Jill Harness

It's hard to believe (especially if you grew up in the 80s), but the Goonies is turning 30 this year. In celebration of this monumental occassion, Flavorwire has rounded up a great "where are they now" list featuring the current status of all the main actors in the films.

A fan favorite, Sloth, isn't around any more. In fact, the ex-football player died at only 38 from an accidental overdose. Don't worry though, most of the stories aren't so sad, but actually pretty cool.

Mother Coming To Wii U As Earthbound Beginnings

by Jason Schreier

Mother Coming To Wii U As Earthbound Beginnings

Holy shit. Nintendo just announced that the first Mother game is coming to the U.S. for the first time—on the Wii U’s Virtual Console, as Earthbound Beginnings. And it’s out today.

This is to celebrate Mother’s 20th anniversary, and it sure is unexpected. We’ve never seen an official English translation of this game until now. It originally came out for the Famicom in 1989.

Earthbound Beginnings will be out on the Wii U eShop at 6pm Pacific, Nintendo says. Although the game isn’t quite as good as Earthbound or Mother 3—which is hopefully next!—this is pretty damn insane.
