Nintendo Continue to Prove That It Means Business Nintendo first filed a lawsuit against Matthew Storman back in September 2019. The Los Angeles resident was the operator of the ROM site, RomUniverse.com. Nintendo claims that Storman has unlawfully offered downloads of copyrighted game files. This included Nintendo Switch ROMs, among many others. As per Nintendo, Storman’s site had, at the time, established itself as one of the “most visited and notorious online hubs for pirated Nintendo video games”....

As reported by Bloomberg, apparently Nintendo has informed manufacturing and supply partners to brace for increased production of the Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch OLED during the current calendar year. The 9th console generation including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S has spent most of its lifetime plagued by supply chain issues which resulted in low stock and poor distribution. The Switch wasn’t hit as hard but still felt the effects of these issues, but now with the chip shortage rebounding there is more room to boost production....

However, its direct competitor, the PlayStation 5, topped the charts in terms of revenue generated, mostly thanks to its much steeper price point compared to the Switch. Hardware spending in the US grew by 16% in December 2022, reaching $1.5 billion in market value ahead of the holiday season. US consumers spent upwards of $6.6 billion on hardware purchases in 2022 as a whole, which is an 8% growth when compared to the year prior....

Although 2011’s On Stranger Tides and 2017’s Dead Men Tell No Tales still had an ensemble cast with several members from the original trilogy reprising their roles, many still pinned the pair of movie’s commercial success to Johnny Depp. So, when a report surfaced on the 27th that Depp had accepted a $301 million deal to come back as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, fans rejoiced....

Announced via their official Twitter profile, the Call of Duty co-developers stated that another 30,000 cheaters have been banned in a single day. This brings the grand total number of accounts ever banned from Warzone for cheating to over half a million - but sheer numbers don’t seem to be doing the trick. — Raven Software (@RavenSoftware) May 14, 2021 The standalone free to play battle royale spin off already attracted cheaters in droves back in the Modern Warfare days, and the developers always seemed to be one step behind in the battle to keep the servers clean....

Aside from the server traffic, players have also reported that they could not transfer their characters from Overwatch to the sequel. The issue is related to the new first-time user experience that Blizzard implemented for OW2. Veteran players were not happy about having to play 100 matches to unlock all the characters. The development team has heard the complaints from the community and has already deployed several patches to normalize the gameplay experience....

So far, Peacemaker’s been quite the revelation. After the rather low box office numbers of The Suicide Squad at the global box office, fans weren’t quite sure with what to expect with the first series in the DC Extended Universe. But, thanks to Gunn’s clever writing and direction, as well as Cena’s performance, Peacemaker has been nothing short of a hit. With only a handful of episodes to go, fans are on the edge of their seats as the story nears its conclusion....

Of the 5 best-selling video game consoles in history, Sony owns three of them. The top-selling unit, the PlayStation 2, has a sizable lead over the Nintendo DS portable consoles (2nd place), as well as the combined sales of the Gameboy and Gameboy Color (3rd place). The PlayStation 4 (4th place) and the original PlayStation (5th place) are also both close behind. As a matter of fact, the only console that Sony made that didn’t even break into the top 5 is the PlayStation 3....

After months of silence regarding the follow-up to the original PS VR, Sony has finally made an official announcement. According to Sony, the all-new PS VR, which will be exclusive to the PlayStation 5, will enable the “ultimate entertainment experience with dramatic leaps in performance and interactivity.”. They add that the new VR will help players “feel an even greater sense of presence and become even more immersed in their game worlds”....

Quads, a version of the game’s original Battle Royale mode (which featured teams of three players), ups the number to four total squadmates and launched today. But instead of appearing alongside the vanilla Battle Royale mode it replaced it. It is no longer possible to play in teams of three at all. This came as a shock to the fanbase and many - rather, just about all - players are voicing their dissatisfaction....

Unfortunately, Redfall still doesn’t have a release date. The last we heard was that Redfall would be delayed to late 2022, which lines up with the most recent rumor. According to a tweet from Idle Sloth, Arkane plans on launching Redfall right around Halloween in October. In addition to this, Redfall will reportedly add a fifth unannounced playable character, which should be revealed before the game is launched. Also, Redfall will feature an antagonist voiced by Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s James Marsters for its 18-hour long campaign....

Gamesradar sat down with Arkane Studios’ Harvey Smith and Ricardo Bare to give gamers a deep dive into Redfall’s gameplay. The developers reveal during the interview what players can expect from the upcoming horror shooter.

Both worlds are interesting, to say the least, which makes the series prime material for spin-off titles if not a movie or a TV series. With that said, it appears that Sony and its latest acquisition, Firesprite, is working on a VR game set in the same universe as Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. Is Firesprite working on a Horizon VR game? Sony has been on an quiet acquisition spree of late....

While it addresses the inconsistency versus the source material, Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City stumbles in trying to reach its goals. Critics and fans have blasted the film for relying on prior knowledge to fully appreciate the plot, along with other problems with the finished product.

Double Jump Tokyo, a blockchain company based in Japan, shared details about SEGA’s first blockchain game on Medium. The info reveals that the NFT game will be based on the real-time strategy arcade series, Sangokushi Taisen. SEGA nor Double Jump Tokyo have confirmed a release date and platforms for the game....

GTA Online seemingly keeps Rockstar from rushing the release of the next game - despite their statements to the contrary. It is a good business decision to not cannibalize your own revenue by releasing competing products and GTA Online continuously proves its quality through maintained success and popularity. It is one of the best multiplayer experiences even today, almost a decade after its release. Part of that success is thanks to a steady stream of free DLC, constantly adding new content to the game - alongside new things to buy!...

The last Skate title, Skate 3, was released way back in 2010 and since then, there’s been no official word on whether not a Skate 4 title was coming. The Skate franchise is widely considered as one of the most popular sports games around. The first title, in particular, was highly praised. Many critics and fans loved its more realistic representation of skaters and the skating scene as a whole, while others love its clever use of analog controls to give players better control of their skateboards in-game....

The Snitch, as well as Jason Schreier, have “confirmed” in separate statements that whatever Sony planned for the last day of the month is no longer happening. Schreier claims that this is in line with Cory Barlog’s recent tweet. Meanwhile, The Snitch mentioned to Kotaku that the delay makes them “more worried” about the current state of God of War: Ragnarok. — Jason Schreier (@jasonschreier) June 29, 2022 The best-case scenario here is that Santa Monica Studio just hasn’t had the time to work on another trailer for Ragnarok, which suggests that the studio has had its hands full with the game....

The three freebies for PS Plus subscribers for the last month of the year were leaked earlier in November. Even back then, fans were hoping that Sony would gauge the fan feedback and decide to add at least one or two more, if only to help sweeten the deal. Unfortunately, this did not happen. If it’s any consolation, Godfall: Challenger Edition, Mortal Shell, and Lego DC Super-Villains are all excellent freebies....
