Nintendo sent a cease & desist letter to a prominent E3 leaker ahead of the Nintendo Direct tomorrow
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
If you’ve been following the general E3 coverage this year so far, you’ll know that many major announcements from various companies have leaked in advance – and much of it came from one source, a leaker known as Sabi on Twitter. Nintendo’s big E3 Nintendo Direct is tomorrow, and it seems like they weren’t going to take any chances: Sabi stated on Twitter that she has received a cease & desist letter from a lawyer representing Nintendo, meaning that she’s not allowed to reveal any private trade secrets of Nintendo Co., Ltd. According to some further posts on her account, she said she’ll stick to that, although she said she will continue to leak announcements from other companies (which might include games coming to Nintendo Switch).
Seems like Nintendo has some surprising announcements in store for tomorrow if they’re taking such actions.

Nintendo says it’s always looking for ways to be inclusive of all gamers, “evaluating different technologies to expand accessibility options”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Accessibility has become a more prominent topic in the gaming industry over the past few years. While many are able to play games without hurdles, that isn’t the case for everyone. Fortunately, we’ve started to see companies like Microsoft come up with products such as the Xbox Adaptive Controller for those with disabilities.
What about Nintendo? Unfortunately, COO Steven Spohn told Game Informer that discussions with Nintendo of America about promoting accessibility tend to go nowhere when “corporate gets involved.” He said, “We have tried reaching out to Nintendo on the corporate level only to be met with silence.”

Suda51 interested in possible No More Heroes and Killer7 crossover, as well as a “Suda-universe”
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
Suda51 recently stopped by MomoCon and hosted an hour-long panel. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes was discussed in-depth, and it was announced that the game is making its way to new platforms – although that isn’t really relevant here.
What is relevant is that Suda51 also touched on an interesting topic during the panel. We won’t discuss this in-depth here in case we’re encroaching on territory that some feel would be spoiler-related, but something happens in Travis Strikes Again that will be of interest to Killer7 fans. And according to Suda51, what was shown in that game is canon.
