Billy Mitchell has long been known as one of the top Donkey Kong and Pac-Man players in the world. But his reputation took a hit in 2018 after he was accused of obtaining a high score in Nintendo’s arcade classic by playing with an emulator, which is “strictly forbidden”. His record was removed soon after, and he was banned from submitting scores to Twin Galaxies. Guinness World Records also decided to throw out his Donkey Kong scores and records for Pac-Man.
We’re now hearing that in April 2019, Mitchell filed suit against Twin Galaxies. Speaking with Ars Technica, he said the case was “officially served to Twin Galaxies” in February. A detailed complaint was then added in March.

Here’s a bit of a strange Switch game on the horizon. NatWest, a banking company from the UK, is bringing NatWest to Switch. It’ll be a free download rather than a paid release.
The game is what you’d expect based on the title – helping out islands. Players will wash away gloop, collect litter, earn coins, and rescue “bankimals” with a first-person perspective. Stormcloud Games was commissioned to work on the project.
