We heard in February 2022 that Gary Bowser, someone who has been painted as a hacker at Team Xecuter, was sentenced to 40 months of prison. However, it turns out that he’s about to be released early due to good behavior (plus the time already served).
Bowser will be sent home to Canada. While that’s all well and good, there’s a good chance he’ll be paying for the rest of his life. Bowser was sentenced to pay $10 million, which he’ll most certainly be unable to meet.

1080° Snowboarding’s lead designer initially thought the game would be cancelled
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Giles Goddard, the lead designer and programmer on 1080° Snowboarding, originally thought the game would be cancelled. He reflected on the N64 classic in a recent issue of Retro Gamer.
The N64 game was a fairly strong success for Nintendo thanks to a favorable critical reception and sales that crossed two million copies worldwide. However, it actually didn’t test well internally. Because of this, Goddard felt Nintendo would simply scrap the project. Had the company ended up moving forward, Goddard believed it would end up becoming “a complete flop”.

Statement released after Nintendo Russia CEO accused of running import company to bypass sales ban
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
We heard last year that Nintendo had halted shipments to Russia following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. However, it’s being reported that the head of Nintendo’s Russian division seemingly set up a secondary company to import and sell games to get around the ban. Meanwhile, the Big N itself has also weighed in with an official statement.
Kommersant reports that Metroid Prime Remastered is being sold in Russia through Achivka. Yasha Haddazhi, who’s leading things over at Nintendo Russia, is apparently importing Nintendo games and consoles. Haddazji apparently founded Achivka last December and is the majority owner. Ksenia Kachalova is also a minority owner.
