New games are coming to the Nintendo Switch. It's The Daily Crunch.

THE DAILY CRUNCH
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14 2018 By Anthony Ha

There's a new Animal Crossing coming to the Switch, we single out the best iPhone for most consumers and the second blockchain bubble has burst. Here's your Daily Crunch for September 14, 2018.

1. Nintendo finally announces some new games for the Switch

The biggest Nintendo-produced titles we caught glimpses of yesterday are a new Animal Crossing in development for the Switch (and scheduled to arrive in 2019), plus Luigi's Mansion 3.

Aside from the Nintendo-made titles, fans were served up a big surprise with the announcement that Final Fantasy VII, IX, X, X-2 HD Remaster and XII are all arriving on the Switch in 2019.

2. The iPhone XR is the one to get

That's according to Brian Heater, who describes the XR as "the iPhone X for the rest of us."

3. The second blockchain bubble is now complete — what's next?

It's time to stop reading the latest token prices every 10 minutes, and instead get back to the real work of turning this new technology into the revolution it could, one day, be.

4. Microsoft acquires Lobe, a drag-and-drop AI tool

Microsoft plans to use Lobe, which only launched into beta earlier this year, to build upon its own efforts to make creating AI models easier.

5. Twitch hires head of diversity and inclusion

Katrina Jones, who will start next month as Twitch's head of diversity and inclusion, is the former head of diversity at Vimeo.

6. YouTube Kids adds a whitelisting parental control feature, plus a new experience for tweens

With the manual whitelisting feature, parents can visit the YouTube Kids app's setting, go to their child's profile and toggle on an "Approved Content Only" option. They can then handpick the videos they want their kids to have access to watch through the app.

7. This insect-inspired robot can fly a kilometer on a charge with its flappy wings

Robotics researchers at the Delft University of Technology wanted to create a flying platform that could imitate and test theories on how insects fly the way they do, but without tethers or non-animal propulsion like propellers.
