Pokémon Go

Seven years ago the mobile game "Pokemon Go" took the world by storm, and now its creators are aiming to infuse the same "real-world" appeal into their new basketball game.

While players of "Pokemon Go" were guided by their mobile phones to real-world locations to collect magical creatures, "NBA All-World" allows players to challenge each other to games in the street.

A major Pokemon Go festival in Chicago on July 22 to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the virtual game went badly awry when technical glitches prevented many fans from logging on.

Those entranced by the application Pokemon Go are not actually chasing virtual creatures in the real world but are "betraying their country" for acting as spies, according to a professor in the northwestern province of Sakarya.

Apple is out to make a splash with new waterproof iPhones, a smartphone game starring Nintendo's beloved "Mario" and a push on wireless headphones.
