Fruit Ninja is coming to the Vision Pro
The classic but in 3D!
How do you define the early iPad era? For most of us, our tablet experiences started with two games: Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja. Now, as the company prepares to launch a new segment, Apple is going back to its basics. Fruit Ninja is coming to the Apple Vision Pro.
As anyone who’s ever used an Apple device over the past decade-and-a-half can attest to, Fruit Ninja is one of the most endearing ways to kill some time. It’s a simple game that just has players slicing through falling fruit using their finger. Over the years, the title continues to survive across Apple’s diversifying lineups.
Now, it’s no surprise that Apple plans to develop the game for the Vision Pro. Super Fruit Ninja, the version of the game developed specifically for the Vision Pro, will drop on the Apple Arcade when the headset launches soon.
In an official blog post with lead developer Samantha Turner, the challenge was translating the classic 2D game into a 3D space. According to sample images on the post, the resulting game will have players use their hands to physically slice virtual fruits right in front of them.
Call us crazy, but that seems like a fun time. Plus points if they let us use an actual katana to slice and dice those pesky bananas.
As we rapidly approach the impending launch of the Vision Pro, Apple is going all-out on hyping up what you can do with the mixed-reality headset. Besides the classic game, the company already confirmed that Disney Plus will offer 3D movies right on launch.

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch
Both games will be available starting February 27.
Millennials, prepare to have your nostalgia get hit right in the feels. Nintendo has officially announced that Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen are coming to the Switch.
This year, the Pokémon franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Naturally, with Pokémon Day coming up, it’s only right to celebrate the event with something huge. Finally, two of the most prolific titles in the series are coming to a modern console.
Originally released in 2004, Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were remakes of the original Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue. At the time, the two titles reimagined the older games for the Game Boy Advance. Additionally, they introduced new post-game content set in the Sevii Islands, where Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Deoxys reside in the Kanto region.
Based on the short teaser trailer, the upcoming Switch versions will feature all of both games’ content. It will likely be remastered for the Switch’s larger screen.
To showcase more of the Switch version, Nintendo is hosting a Pokémon Presents on February 27. The brand has not mentioned anything about a potential physical version yet. However, they do promise that both games will be available on the Nintendo eShop as soon as next week’s Pokémon Presents concludes. Each game will cost US$ 19.99.

PlayStation 6 reportedly delayed to 2029 because of RAM shortage
The Switch 2 might also get a price hike this year.
The current console generation is arguably a tepid one, especially compared to preceding generations. Though the PlayStation 5 certainly has its certified hits, it’s difficult to classify the home console as a quintessential piece of hardware that everyone must own. All eyes are now on what comes next, the PlayStation 6. However, because of an ongoing RAM shortage, those curious eyes might have to wait a little bit longer.
As you probably know, an ongoing RAM shortage is currently terrorizing the entire tech world. Upcoming devices are getting delayed, and currently available ones are expecting a price increase sometime this year. The unannounced PlayStation 6 is reportedly part of the first group.
According to Bloomberg, the shortage has pushed the projected release of the next console to 2028 or 2029. The delay is apparently disruptive to Sony’s plans.
There aren’t a lot of rumors swirling around the PlayStation 6 yet. However, the absence of news, coupled with anticipated titles like the remake of the God of War trilogy far off into the future, hints that PlayStation is waiting for the right time.
On the other hand, the same report claims that the Nintendo Switch 2 is part of the second group of RAM shortage victims. That is, Nintendo is reportedly considering a price hike for the currently available console this year.
To be clear, neither Nintendo nor Sony have confirmed anything happening to their respective consoles, current or otherwise. However, the shortage is a very real thing. Even if its effects aren’t readily felt now, it’s still expected to spread throughout the industry in the medium term.
