Unpacking dev unhappy with Nintendo for not taking action against “cheap fakes”
Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
December 16: Unpacking creative director Wren Brier has expressed frustration on social media over Nintendo’s lack of action concerning “cheap fakes”.
Unpacking launched on Nintendo Switch at the end of 2021 to much success. However, searching for that name now also brings up “Unpacking Universe Dreams” from CGI Lab – which released in late October – along with various DLC (including a bundle for that title). Brier reported the game to Nintendo, but the company apparently hasn’t responded.

Catly dev denies use of generative AI, blockchain, and NFTs
Posted on 5 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
Catly was one of the stranger announcements at The Game Awards last week, and has since been put under the microscope with accusations of AI, blockchain, and NFTs being used. However, developer SuperAuthenti has now denied the use of this tech.
According to SuperAuthenti, no generative AI was used for either the announcement or the game. A PR rep told IGN that the team was “very surprised by such speculations.” Also stated: “We do not think there are any existing AI tools that can produce a video like that. Industry experts have echoed this opinion.” IGN was able to see a version of the trailer showing in-progress shots interspersed alongside the final version, which seemingly confirms no AI was used.
