Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Giles Goddard had quite the career at Nintendo. He joined the company at an early age, and one of his first major projects was Star Fox – before moving on to the likes of Super Mario 64 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
In an interview with MinnMax, Goddard opened up about working on Ocarina of Time, before there was even a proper game in place. He had a large role in the tech demo that first debuted at Space World (Shoshinkai). Goddard was also involved in R&D for Zelda on the N64 while the project was still in its initial development phase.

Nintendo files lawsuit against hacker Gary Bowser
Posted on 3 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Switch | 0 comments
On Friday, Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit against Gary Bowser, an apparent leader of hacking group Team Xecuter. It claims that Bowser infringed on the company’s copyright in creating and selling hacks. Polygon notes that Nintendo is pursuing two trafficking counts and one copyright violation.
The lawsuit refers to Bowser’s operation as “an international pirate ring” that sells Switch hacking devices designed to circumvent security measures. These devices allow users to run pirated games.
