We previously heard about elements like the new Rival Rush mode. This week’s Famitsu also goes over a new gameplay system: “Tails Save” (official English name TBA).

Devolver Digital

Devolver Digital will host its annual E3 press conference on June 12, the company announced today. Specific timing and other details have yet to be shared.

Devolver Digital events have been a staple of E3 since 2017. While the company always has news to share, they often incorporate satire and feature a running storyline (led by Nina Struthers, who is played by Mahria Zook – shown below).

Nintendo has finally announced its plans for E3 2021.

As many have speculated, the company’s activities will take place on the final day of the show, June 15. A 40-minute Nintendo Direct will air at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM in the UK / 6 PM in Europe, featuring Switch titles “mainly releasing in 2021.” Nintendo Treehouse: Live will take place directly after “for around three hours of deep dives on gameplay”.

As noted in today’s announcement, the Nintendo Uji Ogura Plant was built in 1969. The facility “has been used to manufacture both playing cards and Hanafuda cards, and it also operated as a customer service center for product repairs.”

You may recall that, back in 2019, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against ROM website RomUniverse. The case has now concluded with a judge ruling in the company’s favor.

Nintendo said that the situation involving RomUniverse was “a straightforward video game piracy case”. The company explained that for over a decade, the site was “populated the website with pirated copies of thousands of different Nintendo games and distributed hundreds of thousands of copies of those pirated games.” RomUniverse also sold paid premium accounts, allowing users to download an unlimited amount of titles.
