Deadly Premonition 2

Deadly Premonition 2 quietly received another update last week. Version 1.0.4 is live for all players.

Unfortunately, there’s been no word from the publisher or developer about the update. The team previously said it would continue improving the game’s performance, and the patch may very well be related to that.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Last week was pretty significant for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Fans were treated to the first gameplay footage, a new trailer, and even the confirmation of young Impa being in the game.

Producers Yosuke Hayashi and Masaki Furusawa as well as director Ryota Matsushita were the team members representing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity at the TGS 2020 Online presentation. To close things about, the three developers shared a few words about the game, including satisfying fans of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Piracy has long been an ongoing battle for Nintendo. There’s been a bit of a breakthrough for the company, as two members of Team Xecuter have been arrested. Team Xecuter has impacted various Nintendo platforms including Switch, 3DS, and the Nintendo Entertainment System: Classic Edition.

Here’s the full report from the U.S. Department of Justice:


Monster Hunter Rise Collector's Edition

Switch Joy-Con

A class action lawsuit has been brewing with Nintendo over Joy-Con drift since last July. With many system owners complaining about faulty controllers, the hope is that the issues will be properly addressed.

A verdict hasn’t been reached and there hasn’t been much to report on, but there was an interesting development this week. U.S. law firm Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith (CSK&D), who is handling the lawsuit, is now reaching out to consumers who previously complained about Joy-Con drift to provide a short “describing your experience with the Joy-Con drift on your controllers.” This is after Nintendo apparently argued that it “isn’t a real problem or hasn’t caused anyone any inconvenience”.
