Zammis Clark, a 24-year-old security researcher, has pleaded guilty to hacking into Nintendo’s network.
Clark actually wreaked havoc first at Microsoft before causing issues with Nintendo last March. By using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), he was able to gain access to Nintendo’s network. Clark used similar software to hack into Nintendo’s confidential game development servers that house development code for unreleased games. In the end, 2,365 usernames and passwords were stolen. Nintendo became aware of the breach in May 2018.

Yoshi’s Crafted World is noteworthy due to the tech behind it. Rather than using something like an internal Nintendo engine, the game was built with Unreal Engine 4.
Good Feel executive VP Etsunobu Ebisu spoke with IGN about the decision to create Yoshi’s Crafted World in that environment. Ebisu explained that “Unreal Engine made it easy to make adjustments to the visuals, and allowed us to produce textures we were satisfied with.”

Labyrinth of Galleria: Coven of Dusk apparently not happening on Switch after all
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
This week’s issue of Dengeki PlayStation revealed Labyrinth of Galleria: Coven of Dusk, Nippon Ichi’s followup to Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk. We heard reports this week that, in addition to PlayStation platforms, it would also be on Switch. Apparently that isn’t the case after all.
Dengeki Online now has a notice on its website stating that Labyrinth of Galleria: Coven of Dusk isn’t currently planned for Switch despite what’s mentioned in Dengeki PlayStation. Making matters more confusing, the original game is available on Nintendo’s console worldwide, and we’ve seen Nippon Ichi support the system significantly. It doesn’t make much sense as to why Labyrinth of Galleria wouldn’t be coming to Switch, but perhaps we’ll receive an explanation later.
