The leaked files were first found over on 4Chan and included two emulators currently in development by Nintendo Europe Research and Development, one named Hioyo and the second named Sloop. The former is believed to be an emulator for the classic Game Boy while the latter is for the Game Boy Advance. According to Twitter user Trashbandatcoot, while both systems are buggy at the moment, they’re also functional, and screenshots of various Game Boy games running on the Switch were included. Other Twitter accounts soon followed with more proof of the emulators themselves, with one account even posting a video (since deleted) of the emulator booting up on the Switc...

After the popular multiplayer online game Club Penguin was shut down in 2018, and its official successor, Club Penguin Island, was discontinued the following year, a fan remake of the original game titled Club Penguin Rewritten continued to live on as a private server for original enthusiasts to load in as penguin avatars in the Antarctica-themed open world. However, after four years of operation, the London police have now seized control of the site after Disney decided to take legal action for copyright reasons. “Following a complaint under copyright law, PIPCU have seized a gaming website as part of an ongoing investigation into the site,” Detective Constable Daryl Fryatt from the IP crime unit said in a statement. “Three people were arrested on April 12 on suspicion of distributin...

CD Projekt Red has now delayed the next-gen update for its critically acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt indefinitely. The studio announced the unfortunate news over on Twitter, where it explained that it’ll be taking back the reigns on development in-house from Saber Interactive, although no particular reasons were provided for the decision. Coming as a free Complete Edition upgrade, The Witcher 3‘s next-gen update was originally slated to arrive by June this year but is now delayed “until further notice.” The update would’ve included all the expansions and extra content the game has accumulated since its original launch back in 2015, along with performance enhancements such as ray-tracing, quicker loading speeds and improved graphics. For those interested in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt...

It now seems like previous rumors were true: Godzilla and King Kong may really be coming to Call of Duty. Just earlier today, the massive FPS franchise took to Twitter to unveil its latest teaser trailer for the next season of both Vanguard and Warzone, and the tweets were accompanied by a soundtrack that seemed muddled and broken at first, but when a fan imported the audio into Audacity, the soundwaves created the words “Monsters are real.” The hint also reflects the teaser trailer itself, which near the end told players “With Nebula, the Nazis have unwittingly shaken something awake, something far more powerful and fearsome than we can ever hope to comprehend.” The new hints at the arrival of both Godzilla and King Kong coincide with leaks that surfaced earlier in the year indi...

Building off the momentum from Pokémon Go, Niantic expanded its list of augmented reality mobile games last year with the introduction of Pikmin Bloom, and now reveals another real-world adventure game titled Peridot. Peridot is a Tamagotchi-like pet game where players care for unique virtual creatures and raise them to adulthood. “After thousands of years of slumber, Peridots (or Dots for short) are waking to a world vastly different from the one in which they used to roam, and they’ll need our help to protect them from extinction,” Niantic writes in the description. Similar to Tamagotchi, Dots need to be maintained, and players can pet, play, feed, and teach them new tricks to help them grow. Players can also collaborate with each other to cross-breed and expand the Peridot species for “...

With the Dead Space remake currently in the works, EA‘s Motive Studios has now showcased a few updates to how the game’s weapons function after receiving feedback from fans of the franchise. Taking to Twitter, the developer featured a video of some of the changes it has made to a few of the game’s guns after fans flooded in with comments on how to improve them. The short clip itself highlights both the Plasma Cutter and the Pulse Rifle, and while the changes aren’t massive, they definitely add that little extra realistic touch to the experience. You’ll be able to check out how the two weapons performed in the original game, then in the recent livestream for the remake, and how they look like now after fan feedback. “The sense of power from weapons comes with the full experience, as it’s no...
