Nintendo files two lawsuits against individuals connected to Switch piracy
Posted on 4 days ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
July 1: Nintendo recently filed a pair of lawsuits against individuals who the company believes facilitated piracy on Switch. Torrent Freak reported on the findings.
In the first lawsuit, Modded Hardware is accused of violating the DMCA by selling mod chips and MIG devices. Modded consoles with pirated games were apparently shipped as well. While Nintendo originally reached out to owner Ryan Daly with a lawsuit threat and it was agreed that unlawful activity would cease, Modded Hardware continued on. Daly eventually said he was looking for a new lawyer, but Nintendo wouldn’t wait any further and filed a proper lawsuit.

How to clip out of bounds in Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival venue
Posted on 5 days ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
Even though Splatoon 3’s Grand Festival event is over, you can still re-access the venue via an amiibo. And if you haven’t quite had your fill of picture-taking, there’s an out-of-bounds glitch that will let you capture photos of the Grand Festival venue from entirely new angles. It may take a few tries, but it’s a fairly easy and harmless glitch with cool photo potential. You can even take pictures next to Acht and DJ Octavio, who appear in the Grand Festival if you’ve finished the Side Order DLC and main story campaign, respectively. Though we don’t normally report on minor glitches, we thought this might be of interest to those of you looking to explore the gargantuan effort the developers put into the Grand Festival venue a bit more.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Fuse ability was originally more ambitious

Fuse was was of the new mechanics introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but it turns out that Nintendo originally had grander plans for the feature. Details about its development were shared during the CEDEC 2024 presentation that took place a little while back.
According to director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, one of the original ideas for Fuse in Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom let players combine multiple objects. The team also considered an option for the pattern in which the result of sticking the two things together would change into something else. Additionally, while Nintendo thought about having the ability to select the orientation of the fused materials, it was cut as sword orientations in this game were not a feature, making the angle meaningless.
