Nintendo had sought both an injunction and damages, but setbacks like patent office rejections for lack of originality (citing prior art from games like ARK and others) have weakened their position significantly. Recent court developments suggest Nintendo’s case has narrowed significantly, with…
Vanillaware might not be a household name to some of you, but it’s got a library that hangs up there with the best of them. Odin Sphere, Dragon’s Crown, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, all games that I have seen their biggest supports plead for you to play them on sites like Dwitter and Bluesky. Only problem for us lot is that none of them are on PC. Well, most of them, as just this week it was announced that one of their earlier titles Muramasa: The Demon Blade will finally be coming to PC. And, as it seemingly turns…

Crimson Desert. It’s basically an everything game at this point, so it’s not too suprising that the latest update developers Pearl Abyss have put out takes the Red Pudding further down the road of being a Nintendogs competitor. The number of pets you can tame as you wander around Pywel has been growing gradually since launch and you can now have up to 100 of them. That seems dangerously impractical, but hey, video game.

The digital mob turned on the 27-year-old in-game leader immediately after Astralis suffered a shocking exit from IEM Cologne Major 2026. While fans have every right to be annoyed when their favorite squad drops a series, a vocal group of absolute maniacs decided that a bad tournament performance…

One of those actors was Erin Fitzgerald, who voiced Chie Satonaka in Persona 4 Golden and multiple spin-offs. Following the new trailer, Fitzgerald…

The biggest news for cash-strapped support players is a discount on Dagon. Valve shaved 50 gold off the recipe cost, making the burst-damage staff slightly easier to buy when your economy is in the toilet. On the flip side, Mage Slayer caught a…
