Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against a streamer named EveryGameGuru, who is accused of streaming gameplay of pirated games before they were even released — and providing viewers with access to piracy tools and illegal copies of the games.
EveryGameGuru allegedly streamed Mario & Luigi: Brothership for five days, weeks before its official release on November 7. After Nintendo removed the video from various platforms, including YouTube, he continued live streaming on Loco and included a QR code for his CashApp handle.
Nintendo said EveryGameGuru sent the company an email saying he had “a thousand burner channels” and “could do this all day.”
Don’t piss off the house of Mario! The company is seeking $150,000 in damages for violating its copyright. 404Media did the math: it could be in the millions, since the lawsuit cites at least 10 games that have been streamed on at least 50 occasions.
Sure, it’s not for most of us. The Vive Focus Vision isn’t for the masses like the PSVR2 or Meta Quest 3. This is high-end VR for businesses and creators: a cross between the Focus 3 and last year’s goggle-like XR Elite. The build quality is excellent, but it’s running on older hardware. Worse, it’s riddled with software problems and is significantly more expensive than the Meta Quest 3.
If you’re 30 or older, you know the voice of Elwood Edwards, whether you realize it or not. He recorded the phrase “You’ve got mail!” and three other lines for Quantum Computer Services in 1989. That company became America Online (AOL), Meg Ryan made a movie with Tom Hanks and everyone else. (AOL is currently owned by Yahoo, Engadget’s parent company.)
The latest patch for the PS5 version of God of War Ragnarok adds an option first seen in the PC port to reduce the boy’s excessive and unwanted gestures as Kratos ponders the game’s many puzzles. Enough, Atreus! (The patch also includes PS5 Pro upgrades for a smoother 60 fps and better visuals. But that’s not as fun.)
As the world changes, console generations change too. The Nintendo Switch is over seven years old, so it needs a refresh. Nintendo Switch 2 rumors have been swirling for years, but now they’re really heating up. A sequel to Nintendo’s most successful home console of all time is coming, and it’s likely coming soon.
Will it be a direct sequel to the Switch with updated specs while retaining the same hybrid functionality, or will Nintendo go weird with it? Will it even be called the Switch 2, or will the company come up with something like the Super Switch or New Nintendo Switch? You never can tell with Nintendo. Maybe it’ll be called the Switch U.
In any event, there’s been a lot of speculation about all aspects of the upcoming gaming console in recent weeks. However, it’s important to note that very little information has been confirmed by Nintendo. The company operates on its own timetable. With that said, here are all the rumors that are most likely to be true, according to industry analysis.
When will the Nintendo Switch 2 be announced
As mentioned earlier, Nintendo moves to its own tune. We don’t know exactly when it will hold an event to show off the console, but rumors about its announcement have been flying around this week. A post from Walmart seems to indicate it will be revealed on Thursday, January 16. The Verge’s Tom Warren has also reported that we’ll get an announcement this week.
