‘Tekken’ comes to mobile, preview available for iOS users in Canada

If you’re a fan of the classic fighting game Tekken, then you’re in for a treat. Bandai Namco just announced that it’s opening Tekken Mobile for pre-registration. And even better news for iOS users here? The game is already available to try out. The game is also coming to Android but no word yet when that version will drop. The official launch of the game isn’t being announced yet.

Tekken Mobile brings over 100 characters and has new different modes to try out. One is Story Mode, where you’ll create a team of three players to help Kazuya Mishima defeat the new mobile game’s enemy named Revenant. Another is Dojo mode where, in typical Tekken fashion, you can challenge your friends and other users. Bandai plans to host live events for the games centered on different themed content. If you pre-register, you might receive special in-app bonuses. As the game developer said in a statement, “as more people pre-register for the game, more rewards and in-game contents will be available for the Global Launch.”

Google enables Bluetooth streaming for Home speaker

After making the announcement at Google I/O in May, Google is finally ready to roll out a much needed feature: Bluetooth streaming support. Your Google Home speaker can now be used as an actual speaker that streams content from your other devices. It won’t just rely on the supported music services now with this new addition.

Google is gradually rolling out this update to users so you may or may not have access to this just yet. Once you do though, you can just head over to the Home app and look for the “Paired Bluetooth devices” under settings to pair your selected device. It must be noted though that some users are currently reporting audio issues, such as lag and low voices, at the moment. But we’re sure Google is working on that—or at least we hope they are.

Google adds video previews in Search for Android smartphones

With people consuming more and more videos on the internet, we’re not surprised Google is releasing something related to this. If you do search on your Android via Google app or Chrome on Android, there will now be video previews on top of the search results. Much like GIF-like teasers released for YouTube desktop users, there will now be clip snippets showing up to help you find what you’re looking for quickly. Don’t worry about using up your data, the feature will only work on Wi-Fi. Google started rolling the feature out on Friday and will be coming to more users next week.
