What happened to Nintendos promised Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem games? Super Mario Run, thats what.
In a press release heralding Super Mario Run for iOS, Nintendo also announced a delay to previously announced Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem mobile games.
The two projects had been expected to launch this year, but have now been pushed back to sometime before the end of March, 2017.
Why? Because Mario, of course.
Based on a variety of factors, we felt it was most appropriate for Super Mario Run to launch ahead of these other two apps, Nintendo said in a statement provided to IGN.
News of the delay follows on from Shigeru Miyamoto telling Time Nintendo had revised its mobile release plans down to four releases before March 2017. It had previously expected five releases in the same period.
Super Mario Run will be the third release of Nintendos new mobile era, following on from the social app Miitomo and Niantics enormously successful Pokemon Go.
Pokemon Go is a licensed release rather than a Nintendo production, so it doesnt count as one of the four games were expecting before the end of Nintendos financial year; Miitomo, Super Mario Run, Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem are your lot so far.
Thursday Night Football Promo: Panthers vs. Broncos
By Ty Schalter September 8 at 10:52 AM
Nine months ago, Carolinas secondary was the most intimidating in the NFL.The Panthers unit led the league in interceptions (24) and interception rate (3.7 percent), per Pro Football Reference. They allowed the third-least frequent touchdowns (3.2 percent), and joint-least average yards per attempt (6.2). All this despite a pass rush that ranked just No. 14in sack rate.
Then the Panthers rescinded all-pro cornerback Josh Normans franchise tag, releasing him to the free agent market. CarolinasNo. 2 cornerback, Peanut Tillman, retiredand safety Roman Harper re-joined the New Orleans Saints. Almost instantlyone of theteamsgreatest strengths turned into one of their biggest weaknesses.Last years slot man, Bene Benwikere, is now the Panthers top veteran corner.Benwikere has struggled to earn first-team reps throughout training camp, according to Jonathan Jones of the Charlotte Observer. Second-round pick James Bradberry will wear Normans number, and almost certainly start in his No. 1 corner spot against the Super Bowl champions. Third-round selectionDaryl Worley will likely start on the opposite side, meaning the Panthers are going from a top cornerback pair with a combined 202 NFL starts, 45 interceptions, three Pro Bowl berths and two first-team all-pro nods to zero, zero, zero and zero.
The Broncos, meanwhile, return nearly everyone from their league-best yardage defense, save rotational inside pass-rusher Malik Jackson. Running backC.J. Anderson re-signed, and together with Pro Bowl wideouts Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders, keep the explosive core of the Broncos offense intact. In theory, new quarterback Trevor Siemian has to do to get the Broncos back in the title race is improve on the 31st-ranked team passer rating of 76.3 Manning and Brock Oswelier combined for in 2015.
ButSiemians 70.4 preseason passer ratingproves hes not yet where he needs to be.The QBplayed it too safe in the second preseason game, completing 10 of his 14 attempts for a paltry5.4 average yards per attempt (and minuscule 7.5 yards per completion).But in the first and third games, Siemian was more aggressive resulting in far more big plays (and, admittedly, a poor interception in the third game). Overall, he executed catch-and-run routes to Thomas and Sanders very crisply, opening up more intermediate throws as the offense rolled.
After a series of in-breaking dump-offs to Thomas and Sanders, and a missed shot deep to Thomas, Sanders sells another in-breaking route to create massive separation and make it easy on Siemian:
The result? Very healthy averages of 12.4 yards per completion and 7.3 yards per attempt.
An added bonus of havingThomas and Sanders, two of the best catch-and-run guys in the business, is the Broncos can hit on big pass plays without seven-step drops.This helps ease the Broncos biggest concern: the offensive line. They finished No. 13in pass protection last year, per Football Outsiders, but only center Matt Paradis returns from that group.
If Coach Gary Kubiak game plans around the the Panthers front seven, Siemian should be able to complete a lot of high-percentage throws that directly attack the Panthers newest and maybe only weakness.Andunless Bradberry, Worley and safety Tre Boston step in and play like cagey veterans, Siemian and the Broncos have a great opportunity to pull off a season-opening upset.

Elizabeth Gilbert & Marie Forleo on Fear, Authenticity and Big Magic
Eat Pray Love author Elizabeth Gilbert, who split from her husband of nine years in July, says shes in love with her best friend, a woman named Rayya Elias, who was recently diagnosed with incurable pancreatic and liver cancer.
Gilbert says in a lengthy Facebook post Wednesday the terminal diagnosis uncovered her true feelings for her longtime friend, and those feelings led to Gilberts divorce from Jose Nunes, whom she described falling for at the end of her best-selling memoir. The posting was confirmed by Gilberts publicist at Riverhead Books, Jynne Martin.
Gilbert says she is making her relationship with Elias public because such truth and transparency make her life easier and more ethical.
CNN Live News 24/7 news channel on Breaking news, Donald Trump vs Hillary Clinton
The first stop on the Donald versus Hillary 2016 Presidential Debate reality television show will be at Hofstra University in suburban New York City on Monday night September 26. Hofstra also hosted presidential debates in 2008 and 2012. Yes - I work at Hofstra, but I have no way of getting tickets. I expect to be outside campus on Hempstead Turnpike waiving my picket sign. Don"t know yet what it will say.
Let"s hope there are a minimum of insults and innuendos at this debate and at least some discussion of policy. Hillary tries to focus on issues facing the nation and on what it means to be President, but with Donald, who knows what will happen? I would also like to give the Libertarian and Green Party candidates a chance to participate, but it is not up to me.
As part of the run-up to the debate, Hofstra University organized over fifty panels, presentations, and discussions, most of which are open to the general public. On Thursday September 15 from 6 to 8:30 p.m. the School of Education sponsors a panel discussion "An Agenda for Public Education." It will be held at the Guthart Cultural Center Theater in the Axinn Library.
Since passage of the No Child Left Behind Act in 2002 with bipartisan support, the federal government has played an increased role in establishing national educational policy and standards. The Republican Party platform leans toward returning more authority to the states and privatizing education. The Democratic Party leans toward maintaining the federal voice in education but has also been more responsive to parents and teachers. What will be the future of public education in the United States?
The education panel is moderated by Andrea Libresco, Professor of Social Studies Education and the Director of Civic Education at Hofstra University.
Featured panelists include Carol Burris, Executive Director of the Network for Public Education; Max Eden, Senior Fellow, Manhattan Institute; Yohuru Williams, Fairfield University; Leo Casey, Executive Director, Albert Shanker Institute; Kevin Welner, CU Boulder Professor & Director of the National Education Policy Center; John Hildebrand, Newsday Senior Education Writer; and Alan Singer, Professor of Education, Hofstra University.
Comments will come from Andrea Libresco, Elfreda Blue, Professor of Specialized Programs in Education, Hofstra University, and audience members.
For more information about debate related activities at Hofstra University contact Melissa Connolly, Vice President for University Relations at Melissa.A.Connolly@hofstra.edu or check www.hofstra.edu/debate.
REPLAY Commander In Chief Forum Donald Trump Hillary Clinton Donald Trump LIVE commander in chief
Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump traded jabs about their records during NBCs Commander-in-Chief Forum.
The 2016 nominees appeared back-to-back and took questions from NBC host Matt Lauer and veterans and troops at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York on Sept. 7.
Clinton defended her handling of highly sensitive information as secretary of state, claiming that none of the emails sent and received on her private server had a header marking them as classified. She acknowledged her use of the server as well as her support for invading Iraq were "mistakes."
"Now, my opponent was for the war in Iraq. He says he wasn"t. You can go back and look at the record. He supported it," Clinton added. "I have taken responsibility for my decision. He refuses to take responsibility for his support. That is a judgment issue."
When it was his turn in the hot seat, Trump denied Clintons characterization and knocked her and President Barack Obamas foreign policy as "the dumbest foreign policy." The Republican nominee also defended comments hes made in the past about Russian President Vladimir Putin and a 2013 comment on sexual assault in the military (which he told Lauer was "a correct tweet").
"26,000 unreported sexual assults (sic) in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?" he wrote.
Trump and Clinton continued to make various claims about issues facing the military and veterans. We fact-checked several.
Clinton: "There is no evidence my system was hacked."
This is accurate as far as we know. Instead of using the State Department email system, Clinton used a personal email housed on private servers located in her Chappaqua, N.Y. home As weve previously reported, theres no evidence that these servers were compromised, but it is possible that sophisticated hackers accessed the system but left no trace.
Clinton: "Classified material has a header which says top-secret, secret, confidential. Nothing, and I will repeat this and this is verified in the report by the Department of Justice, none of the emails sent or received by me had such a header."
Three of email chains had a "(C)" indicating confidential information, though thats not enough to consider them classified. And the FBI did find 81 email chains that contained classified information though they werent appropriately labeled. But Clinton is correct nothing in her emails had a header indicating classification status.
This carefully worded statement is partially accurate but leaves out context. We rated this claim Mostly True.
Clinton: "I think that the decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake. And I have said that my voting to give President Bush that authority was, from my perspective, my mistake."
Weve looked at Clintons statements about the Iraq war, and found shes been expressing regret for her 2002 vote since at least her last bid for the White House.
"Obviously, if we knew then what we know now, there wouldn"t have been a vote, and I certainly wouldn"t have voted for it," she said on the Today Show in 2006.
In her 2014 book Hard Choices, Clinton said she "got it wrong. Plain and simple."
Clinton: "With respect to Libya, again, there"s no difference between my opponent and myself. He"s on record extensively supporting intervention in Libya."
The record shows that Trump did endorse the attacks that unseated Libyas Moammar Gadhafi. Though he didnt speak often on the topic, he was emphatic when he did comment. "We should go in, we should stop this guy," Trump said in 2011 on his own video blog. Clintons claim rates Mostly True.
Clinton: "I will not let the VA be privatized, and I do think there is an agenda out there, supported by my opponent to do just that."
Trump does support giving veterans access to private care. But thats not the same thing as privatizing the entire system, which would eliminate the government care entirely. He has never proposed that. Mostly False.
Clinton: There are 20 veteran suicides a day.
This is True Trump made the same claim in July. The VA examined veterans records from 1979 to 2014, and calculated an average of 20 veterans taking their own lives every day. This is an update to an estimate the VA made of 22 veterans in 2010.
When a veteran asked Trump what his plan is to "stop the 20 veterans a day from killing themselves," Trump tried to correct her and floated the old estimate. "Actually, its 22," he said, before broadening his range. "And it"s almost impossible to conceive that this is happening in our country, 20 to 22 people a day are killing themselves."
Trump: "I was totally against the war in Iraq."
We rated this claim False. Trump didnt often comment on the war before it happened, but what he did say does not amount to opposition.
While he came to that position when the war became difficult, he was more accepting of military action early on. And in 2002, when asked if American should go to war, he said, "I guess so."
Trump: "I was able to get more votes than anybody has ever gotten in the history of Republican politics."
This is accurate. Trump received 13.3 million votes in the GOP primary, beating George W. Bushs previous record of 11.5 million votes. But its important to note that Trump was also supported by less than half of the partys primary voters.
Trump: Obama "came in. He said when we go out and he took everybody out. And really ISIS was formed."
Previously, Trump claimed Obama "founded ISIS," a claim we rated Pants on Fire. While his new claim is more tempered, it is still inaccurate. The terrorist groups origins predate Obamas presidency by five years.
Trump: "Barack Obama, as an example, lands Air Force One in China, and they dont want to put out stairs to get off the plane. ... When he lands in Saudi Arabia, and he lands in Cuba, there arent high officials to even greet him."
Trump is right that there were no stairs waiting for Obama when he landed in Hangzhou, China, for the G20 summit. This was perceived as a snub by many, but both the White House and China deny this.
A Chinese official told the South China Morning Post that the United States turned down Beijings offer to provide Obama with a staircase. The White House says, after a back-and-forth with the Chinese over the driver who would bring the stairs to the plane and whether they could use their own stairs, they decided to use a small exit instead of the main doorway.
As for Cuba, neither Fidel Castro or Raul Castro were at the airport to greet Obama for the historic meeting between U.S. and Cuban leaders in March a sign of "no respect," Trump tweeted at the time. The Cuban foreign minister and other government officials were in attendance.
Trump: Putin "does have an 82 percent approval rating."
This rates True. Multiple American polls put Putins approval rating around 80 percent among the Russian public. That includes a recent study that adjusts for the possibility that respondents may have been lying to pollsters out of fear or social reasons.
Trump: "Hillary Clinton six months ago said the vets are being treated essentially just fine, theres no real problem, its over-exaggerated. She did say that."
Clinton has said problems at the VA have "not been as widespread as it has been made out to be," but shes also acknowledged systemic problems within the system and has repeatedly urged reform.
Trumps claim is misleading and leaves out the full story. We rate it Mostly False.
