N1RV Ann-A delayed
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
It’s been quite some time since we last heard about N1RV Ann-A. Sukeban Games finally provided an update today, but fans may be disappointed to hear that the VA-11 Hall-A sequel has been delayed indefinitely.
In a blog post, developer Fernando Damas brought up a number of contributing factors. Damas initially held on to the code despite having extra programmers on hand which resulted in extra development time, there was an internal conflict with the story that has since been solved, and the project “has effectively been reset on many fronts.”
A new release window won’t be shared as there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done. Any major announcements on that front “probably won’t happen until we’re at the final stretch of the project.” On the bright side, Sukeban Games will “use stricter planning to be able to be more transparent during development and provide regular updates on the state of the project”.

Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Earlier this year, Ryan Hernandez pleaded guilty to federal crimes related to a Nintendo computer hacking scheme. Hernandez had leaked pre-release information about Switch, and despite a warning that followed, later hacked into multiple Nintendo servers and stole confidential information about games, consoles, and developer tools.
Today, Hernandez was sentenced to three years in prison “for federal crimes related to his computer hacking scheme and his possession of child pornography found on his digital devices”. He also agreed to pay $259,323 to Nintendo in damages. Once the sentence is up, Hernandez will carry out seven years of supervised release and will be required to register as a sex offender.
