Polygon is reporting that Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit today against an Amazon Switch hack reseller, Le Hoang Minh. The company says its copyright measures have been circumvented in selling an RCM Loader as a means to “jailbreak” the system.

Nintendo previously sent a DMCA notice in hopes of initially dealing with the situation. After that, the seller issued a counterclaim. Amazon was required to relist the RCM Loader as a result unless Nintendo filed an infringement lawsuit. Nintendo now wants to stop the seller and receive $2,500 in damages for each infringement.

Businesses and organizations have started to take interest, and it’s something Nintendo has now become fully aware of.

Today, Nintendo posted usage guidelines for businesses and organizations in how they get involved with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It forbids certain actions like using the game inappropriately, featuring politics, or obtaining financial benefit.

Here’s the full notice:

Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl have entered the world of Super Mario Galaxy in a rather interesting way. Modder
RiazorMC has ported the Sinnoh map over to the Wii game, complete with the towns and routes the region is known for. Twinleaf Town, the entrance to the Pokemon League, and more are all accounted for. You can even swim in the proper areas.

This is still ultimately Super Mario Galaxy, but with a fixed, top-down perspective like Pokemon Diamond/Pearl. To “complete” the level, you still need to reach the Power Star. In this case though, it’s been swapped out with a Staryu.

Here’s a look at the mod in video form:

Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers launched back in February, but there’s been no word from Atlus yet regarding English localization. However, there’s a bit of encouraging news coming out of Asia.

Indonesian retailer PS Enterprise, Pakistani retailer Toyorgame, and Singapore retailer Qisahn all have listings for the game. Furthermore, they have a February 23, 2021 date. According to PS Enterprise, the listing was created due to confirmation from their supplier that the game is launching in 2021.

Note that today’s listings are for a “Region 3” English release. What that means is SEGA’s Asian branches would be publishing rather than Atlus West. It’s unclear if and when Atlus would bring the game to other regions officially including North America and Europe.

Bandai Namco has confirmed the final roster spots for Jump Force’s DLC characters. Yoruichi Shihoin and Giorno Giovanna are joining the game, who come from Bleach and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure respectively.

Both of these characters were actually outed earlier in November following a “technical mix-up”. A small numbers of players gained access to the DLC even though they were unfinished, though that has now been addressed.

Bandai Namco hasn’t shared any additional information about Yoruichi Shihoin and Giorno Giovanna at this time.
