Zelda Tears Kingdom datamine unused paragliders amiibo

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dataminers have managed to find unused paraglider fabrics in the game. Based on the discovery, speculation is going around that Nintendo could eventually release two new amiibo tied to the Switch exclusive.

Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has a ton of different fabrics players can use to customize Link’s glider. Most can be obtained with normal play, but some are unlocked by using select amiibo.

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection director Masakazu Eguchi has briefly discussed the origins of the release.

Eguchi spoke about how it came to be in an interview with 4Gamer. It seems that the project was in the works for about two years, and while Capcom already decided on things internally, it sounds like fans’ interest also helped make things a reality.

A new month started up this week. Now that we’re in June, we want to know what you’ve been playing.

Are you still pouring countless hours into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom? Are you trying out some other recent releases like We Love Katamari Reroll + Royal Reverie, Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection, or LEGO 2K Drive? No matter the case, let us know in the comments below.

Dolphin Steam emulator Valve statement

Much discussion has taken place after Valve took down the Dolphin emulator listing last week on Steam. However, new information has come to light revealing that the move was technically spurred on by Valve initially.

Rather than Nintendo filing a DMCA, the GameCube and Wii emulator was removed after Valve brought it to Nintendo’s attention. The Verge obtained emails showing how the Big N’s lawyers especially took issue with the use of cryptographic keys.
