Rumor: Nintendo not planning any sort of Nintendo Direct for the time being
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 0 comments
A couple of weeks ago, a report from Venturebeat claimed that Nintendo will be skipping its expected Nintendo Direct in June. This has been an annual tradition for the company to announce new games, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the company’s near-term plans have been affected.
Venturebeat now says in an additional report today that “Nintendo isn’t planning a Direct at all for now.” The site also reiterated that development partners have been told not to wait for such a presentation to happen, even if they have a big announcement.
Nintendo chose to unveil Paper Mario: The Origami King without prior warning last week. That type of move is atypical for the company, as it generally tends to announce bigger games in Nintendo Direct broadcasts.

Nintendo looking to crack down on Switch hackers with new lawsuits
Posted on 4 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Late last week, Nintendo of America filed a pair of lawsuits against hacking resellers that sell software to play pirated video games on Switch systems. The first lawsuit involves Tom Dilts Jr., the alleged operator of UberChips, while the second is against several anonymous defendants from a selection of websites.
Nintendo has taken issue with the software, describing it as “an unauthorized operating system … and accompanying piracy tools that install it.” Users are able to circumvent the company’s “technological protection measures” that protect its products from “unauthorized access and copying.” Nintendo’s lawyers note that disabling those measures let players download the unauthorized operating system and play pirated video games.
