Following Nintendo’s lawsuit against Yuzu, the two sides have come to a quick agreement. Yuzu will now be paying $2.4 million in damages as part of the agreement, which both parties agreed upon.
It was reported that week that Nintendo was suing the creators of the Switch emulator due to DMCA and copyright violations. Allegedly, Yuzu makers accessed Switch games from a hacked console and made at least one copy of each. According to Nintendo, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was downloaded over one million times before the official launch.

[Review] Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story
Posted on 1 month ago by Dawn in Reviews, Switch eShop | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 21, 2024
Developer: Lazy Bear Games
Publisher: Riot Forge
In the wake of its tenth anniversary Riot Forge Games has taken League of Legends into some interesting places with a variety of single-player games giving us some alternate (and for those of us not into the MOBA, far more palatable) looks at the expansive world of Runeterra and its Champions. Partnering up with Lazy Bear Games, the studio behind the delightfully macabre Graveyard Keeper, now comes Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story, a life sim that forgoes the frenetic combat synonymous with the IP in favor of a more relaxed and cozy experience. Within the confines of the franchise it is certainly a welcome and refreshing change of pace, but when compared to its peers in the genre there are a few knots that will test your patience if you choose to attempt to untangle them.
Twin Peaks co-creator recalls talking with Nintendo about Zelda: Link’s Awakening

Nintendo has previously spoken about the influence Twin Peaks had on The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening during development. Speaking in 2010, director Takashi Tezuka said the show “was all about a small number of characters in a small town” and how he “wanted to make something like that, while it would be small enough in scope to easily understand, it would have deep and distinctive characteristics.”
Then last year, the Twin Peaks x Zelda: Link’s Awakening connection came up again after Twin Peaks co-creator Mark Frost said on social media that he “met with them about it and gave them some ideas”.
[Let’s Talk] Pokemon Legends: Z-A hopes and dreams
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
Pokemon Legends is now officially a series of its own with this week’s announcement of Pokemon Legends: Z-A. There won’t be a big new Pokemon game this year, but we know that this new one will be arriving in 2025.
Pokemon Legends: Arceus, which launched at the very beginning of 2022, was a new take on the RPG formula we’ve grown accustomed to over the past few decades. There was more of an action element and it was even possible to catch different creatures simply by throwing a Poke Ball as soon as you saw it, which didn’t require you to enter the battle screen. A number of different features and changes were introduced, which seemed to be well received overall.
