Believe it or not, the developers at Retro Studios working on Metroid Prime back in the day actually put their dev kit in a freezer while attempting to fix a particular issue that affected a small portion of GameCube owners.
Jack Mathews, a technical lead engineer that worked on the project, shared this story while reflecting on the 20th anniversary of the game. Nintendo had shipped a “bad batch” of GameCubes that affected the CPU, but it turns out that Metroid Prime was the only game that wasn’t working properly. Because of this, animated objects weren’t acting the way they normally would on any other console.

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News, Switch | 0 comments
The Pokemon Company announced today that it has started handing out new bans relating to the Pokemon games on Switch as well as Pokemon Home for those that have been involved with illegally modified data.
The announcement mentioned how this data can bring about issues with the games and apps. As a result, some users may find that they will not be able to access online play for the Pokemon games as well as internet functionality for Pokemon Home. Bans may be either limited or indefinite, and there will be no refunds. However, keep in mind that the bans only affect Pokemon releases – no other titles on Switch will be impacted. The Pokemon Company may also take similar action in the future without notice.

Tokyo Cowboys has announced that it’s finished work on The Benza RPG after two years of updates and patching, and is now setting its sights on a Switch port. Currently this version is targeting launch in Q2 2023 “with additional QOL improvements and optimization” for the console.
