On Thursday’s episode of Digital Trends Live, we discussed trending headlines fromthe future of the NES and SNES Classic Editions, apossible Tesla pickup truck, andnew Netflix streaming data. We were also joined by current Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch in our Portland studio to talk about theFam 1st Family Foundationand its partnership with Beast Mobile.
On the news side of things, any hardcore Nintendo fans out there should probably pick up an NES or SNES Classic Edition right now, because Nintendo has said that once the consoles currently on the market sell out, they’re gone for good. While it’s unlikely these games will ever become completely inaccessible to gamers, the fact that the classic consoles can’t be updated never spoke well to their longevity. But don’t fret; there is talk of putting many of these classic Nintendo titles on the Switch’s virtual store.
And last but not least, football star Marshawn Lynch visited our Portland Studio to talk about Fam 1st Family Foundation, a charity he helped found in 2011 to provide educational opportunities in design, music, and business to underprivileged youth. The foundation is also currently partnering with BeastMobile, another Lynch-founded company, to provide smartphones and up to three months of service at no charge to homeless people across the West Coast.
