According to a recent statement given to Eurogamer, Nintendo has said that Mario Kart World does not contain any AI-generated images. Why would the game even have that, you may ask? Despite how Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser stated just last month that he believes developers are what makes…
Something all video game manufacturers need to be mindful of when creating and publishing their products is piracy. Nintendo themselves are no stranger to battling against the practice; just last year they successfully filed a lawsuit against the company behind the Switch emulator Yuzu. With the Switch 2 now on…
Pocketpair has shared a new blog post onto their website, detailing the ongoing lawsuit with Nintendo, changes made to Palworld, and what’s to come.

Dragon Ball FighterZ, everyone’s favorite game about people yelling loudly, will be getting an online beta on the Nintendo Switch to prep for the game’s September 28th launch. The announcement was made on Bandai Namco’s US Twitter account. On top of that, the tweet announced that there will be new…
