A number of new games were announced for Switch during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, including No Man’s Sky. What you might be surprised to hear is that it’s been a big passion project for developer Hello Games.
In a blog post, Hello Games managing director Sean Murray mentioned that the studio has been tinkering away on the Switch port for a “couple of years”. There were points when the team wasn’t sure if it would be possible, “only to have someone stride in the next day with a unique technical solution.” Hello Games is also “taking the time to make this feel completely at home on the device, both on the big screen, but importantly as a portable version of No Man’s Sky.”

Last April, we reported on a lawsuit Nintendo of America filed a lawsuit against Gary Bowser, an apparent leader of hacking group Team Xecuter. The company felt that Bowser infringed on the company’s copyright in creating and selling hacks, and had been pursuing two trafficking counts and one copyright violation.
A final decision has now been reached. Bowser, who was arrested in 2020, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has confirmed. This is on top of a $10 million fine he had previously agreed to pay for selling hacks.
