Back in 2015, Hammer 2 was added to the Unity Asset Store. It was intended to be used by developers as a base to make their own games. It has now popped up on the Switch eShop without much in the way of changes – aside from a different title, The Bullet: Time of Revenge.

Jim Sterling reported on the news in a video published today. It seems that the approach used by Art Games Studio has been done previously as these releases merely use the Hammer 2 asset pack, are renamed, and then sold under the guise of an original game. It’s apparently legal, though admittedly unethical.

We have a trailer for The Bullet: Time of Revenge below. You can also get a feel for the game under the Hammer 2 name by playing it in your browser for free.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has sold even better than Nintendo expected. During the Q&A portion of the company’s financial results call this week, president Shuntaro Furukawa mentioned the following (translated by our own Oni Dino):

My Nintendo has updated with a couple of new rewards. A pair of printable items are available, both of which are based on Animal Crossing: New Horizons rewards. You can pick up some Mother’s Day Coupons as well as gift tags.

Both of these rewards are located on My Nintendo here. They cost 50 Platinum Points each.
