HAL Laboratory opened its doors on February 21, 1980. That means the company is now 35 years old! They are behind some of Nintendo’s biggest hits, including Kirby and Super Smash Bros. Happy birthday, HAL!

A West Coast port strike has been ongoing for a number of months. That has impacted Nintendo’s business in the United States, causing shipment issues for amiibo and New 3DS XL hardware. Fortunately, we’re hearing that the strike is effectively coming to a close now that negotiators reached a tentative contract. Hopefully Nintendo’s shipment issues will be ending soon!

Yesterday we posted some gameplay footage from SpongeBob HeroPants on 3DS. Those who have watched the video have been quick to point out that a Unity logo pops up as you boot up the title. What does this mean? Well… truthfully, no one can say for sure just yet.

There are a few theories floating around. Is SpongeBob HeroPants one of the first 3DS games to support Unity? Did the developers simply forget to remove the logo (since there are other versions out there like the PlayStation Vita edition)? Did the team port the engine themselves?

No one seems to have a clear-cut answer at the moment. It’s an interesting discovery nonetheless!
