Star Wars Episode 1: Racer faces a delay a day prior to its release date

May 12th, 2020, 20:29 Posted By: wraggster

• Those that had their heart set on playing the remaster of Star Wars Episode 1: Racer on launch have suddenly found that they won't get the chance to experience it, just yet. AspyrMedia, the publisher in charge of bringing the game to both PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch have announced that they will not be able to make the release date, which was supposed to be on today, May 12th. The delay stems from difficulties surrounding development due to the current work at home mandate across the globe, according to the company. A new release date was not provided. Star Wars Episode 1: Racer originally released in 1999, for the Game Boy Color, PC, and Nintendo 64, followed by a Dreamcast version a year later.

MegaZeux 2.92d released

May 11th, 2020, 22:51 Posted By: wraggster

MegaZeux (or MZX) is a game creation system (GCS) initially released in late 1994 by Alexis Janson. MegaZeux is heavily inspired by Tim Sweeney's ZZT. Like ZZT, MZX was originally released as shareware and the world editor portion of the program was included for free, allowing third parties to create their own worlds without even registering.
MZX is officially supported on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Android, Nintendo DS, 3DS, Wii, Switch, and the PSP. Older ports exist for AmigaOS 4, GP2X, and Pandora. MZX has also been ported to other platforms such as OpenSolaris, HaikuOS, and the Sega Dreamcast.

Nintendo has reportedly gone after the Super Mario 64 PC port, making copyright claim

May 11th, 2020, 22:47 Posted By: wraggster

• As many expected, Nintendo is likely going after the recently released fanmade Super Mario 64 PC port. After gaining notoriety and popularity throughout the internet, certain YouTube videos and Reddit posts featuring gameplay recordings of the port have been copyright claimed. It appears that Wildwood Law Group LLC, a group that has previously assisted Nintendo in these matters, is responsible for going after the uploads of the game. Not only that, but TorrentFreak is also reporting that they got ahold of a complaint that Nintendo filed with Google, in regards to a Google Drive download link of the game, with the statement, "The copyrighted work is Nintendo's Super Mario 64 video game, including the audio-visual work, software, and fictional character depictions covered by U.S. Copyright Reg No. PA[REDACED]." Links containing a download to an .XCI Nintendo Switch port of the game also appear to have begun making the rounds as well. Seeing that the group behind the Super Mario 64 PC port uploaded the complete game online all at once, many users have probably already backed it up to a variety of sources.

Multiple EA titles are headed to Nintendo Switch this year

May 11th, 2020, 16:49 Posted By: wraggster

Last October, EA gave a point-by-point outline of its plans for releases throughout fiscal 2021, including ongoing live service games, a new sports title, games from third-party partners, and a lot of Apex Legends.
It was also, as recently as January of this year, still very lukewarm on bringing more of its games to the Nintendo Switch.
But now, with the publisher's fiscal 2020 solidly in the rearview, EA has offered an update on its upcoming release slate of titles, which has shifted somewhat since it first laid things out in October.
For one, EA appears to have relaxed somewhat on its Switch stance, noting that it would launch "multiple" titles on Nintendo's platform this year -- Burnout Paradise: Remastered making just one.
Alongside Burnout Paradise, EA also already has announced Command & Conquer: Remastered for PC, with both titles currently planned for June 2020. And in Q2 and Q3, annual sports titles FIFA 21, Madden NFL 21, and NHL 21 are all still on track.
So far, all that is in line with what we've been led to expect so far based on the October remarks. Also still in the plans for the year is Medal of Honor VR, and that as-yet-unannounced fourth sports title.
So what's changed? Back in October, EA outlined that it was planning to have two unannounced projects from third-party partners. That number has now been upped to four, presumably additions to the EA Originals indie program.
And then there are two upcoming, unannounced mobile titles as well.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp enjoys halo effect from New Horizons

May 11th, 2020, 16:49 Posted By: wraggster

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp enjoyed its best ever month for revenue in April, according to data from Sensor Tower.
In April 2020, the mobile game earned $7.9 million in revenue across Google Play and the App Store -- just ahead of the $7.8 million it earned in August 2019.
This spike coincided with the launch of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which launched for the Nintendo Switch on March 20. Nintendo has not confirmed an official sales figure, but it has broken records in several key global territories.

Switch passes 55m lifetime sales in a strong year for Nintendo

May 11th, 2020, 16:44 Posted By: wraggster

The Nintendo Switch passed 55 million units sold in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, boosted by the strong performance of Animal Crossing and Pokémon.
Nintendo earned ¥1.3 trillion ($12.2 billion) in the financial year, up 9% over an already strong fiscal 2019. The Japanese company made a profit of ¥259 billion ($2.4 billion), up 33% year-on-year.
It was a good year for first-party software, with Pokémon Sword and Shield reaching 17.37 million units by the end of March, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons selling 11.77 million units despite launching just 11 days before the end of the accounting period.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons' strong performance continued, with the game reaching 13.4 million units in the six weeks following its launch,
Luigi's Mansion 3 and Super Mario Maker 2 also performed well, and Nintendo said that 27 Switch games sold one million units during the fiscal year. Overall, 169 million units of software were sold on the Switch during fiscal 2020, up 42% year-on-year.
Nintendo said that, of the revenue earned through software, 34% came from digital sales -- a significant increase on the 24.8% share in the prior year.

Cemu v1.18.2c

May 5th, 2020, 22:18 Posted By: wraggster

Cemu v1.18.2c is released. Cemu is a Nintendo Wii U emulator that runs commercial games. Highly experimental software to emulate Wii U applications on PC.

Cemu Changelog:
# New in 1.18.2c:

Vulkan: Fixed a bug in the new cache which could lead to Cemu freezing or crashing randomly

# New in 1.18.2b:

Vulkan: The SPIR-V optimization pass is now always enabled (no longer considered experimental)

Vulkan: Added SPIR-V cache to speed up shader loading screen on subsequent runs

Vulkan: Fixed an issue where the wrong image layout (LAYOUT_UNDEFINED) would be provided for operations on 3D textures
On strict or optimized drivers this could lead to texture data being thrown away (as far as we know, only Nvidia 445.75+ drivers are affected)

# New in 1.18.2:

general: When updating graphic packs Cemu will let the user know if previously enabled graphic packs were removed or renamed
general: Improved robustness of account.dat parser (invalid files could crash Cemu on launch)
general: Updated language files

coreinit: Added API MEMFreeToFrmHeap (#322)
Used by Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth (but other issues still prevent it from running)

nn_nfp: Changed behavior of GetNfpRegisterInfo for unregistered Amiibos
Games that expect Amiibos with a registered owner no longer should display an empty ErrEula message box
nn_nfp: Implemented API GetErrorCode and NFCGetTagInfo

Vulkan: Correctly emulate depth clamping
This fixes the overly bright backgrounds in some stages of Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Vulkan: Added an overlay notification for when a Vulkan graphics pipeline has to be compiled

Vulkan: Added experimental SPIR-V optimization pass which is applied to all shaders that are compiled during the shader loading screen
This should reduce pipeline compilation stutter if a shader cache is present. It may also reduce GPU load slightly
The downside is that the shader loading screen is much slower. But we plan to address this in a future Cemu update
By default this option is disabled. It can be enabled under Debug -> Experimental
Also note that this option results in different shaders being generated and consequently triggers new pipeline compilation

input: Remember ip and port for DSU client

You can now play Super Mario 64 on PC in widescreen thanks to a fanmade port

May 5th, 2020, 21:39 Posted By: wraggster

• A new project has been released, likely making use of the public decompilation of Super Mario 64. The game has been fully ported over to PC, bringing some brand new features to the decades-old game, such as 4K upscaling, analog camera control, and widescreen support. This fanmade PC version of Super Mario 64 runs off DirectX 12, and can be played from start to finish. Download links cannot be shared, but you can see someone playing the first 10 minutes of the port in a YouTube video below. You can also share your thoughts in the discussion thread.

Nintendo 64 accessory 64Mate begins its Kickstarter campaign

May 5th, 2020, 21:37 Posted By: wraggster

• Are you willing to pledge money for better storage of your Nintendo 64 peripherals? That's the question asked by Australian Shane Battye, as he kicks off his Kickstarter campaign for the 64Mate. The 64Mate is designed to house accessories and games by acting as a storage caddy and attaching itself to the bottom of your Nintendo 64 console. They can also be stacked, if you want to create a Frankenstein level tower of Nintendo 64-related goodness that reaches the heavens. If you're interested in the project, it costs just under $50 USD to back it, with $4,000 currently reached out of a goal of $38,000, at the time of writing.

Another leak reveals Wii source code, iQue related files, N64 test demos, and more

May 4th, 2020, 23:12 Posted By: wraggster

• In recent times, we've seen quite a number of major leaks in regards to video game content. Joining the leaks for The Last of Us Part II's story cutscenes, and the source code for both Pokemon Gold and Silver and Team Fortress 2 is a collection of Nintendo-related content. Supposedly, RouteFree, the company behind Nintendo's iQue Chinese division, and BroadOn, a company that assisted Nintendo with the development of the Wii, were recently hacked, leading to a source obtaining various files from them, including source code and betas.
  
  Included in the files was information about how Nintendo created the Wii itself, demos for games that they used to test the Nintendo 64 during development, the full source code for the Nintendo Wii's IOS, a handful of pictures and documents about Nintendo's plans during the years of 2004-2006, the iQue GameCube SDK, and much more. Certain users have already begun uploading videos of some of these leaked demos running on emulators or official hardware. Just as with the other leaks, you cannot link to the content or distribute it, as those files contain copyrighted content.

Nintendo will reportedly skip its June Nintendo Direct

May 4th, 2020, 22:58 Posted By: wraggster

Nintendo will reportedly not hold a Nintendo Direct in June this year -- during the month that it normally might have one as a presentation for E3.
As reported by GamesBeat and corroborated by Video Games Chronicle, the postponement of the company's regular June presentation -- which it has held every year since it transitioned from E3 live shows in 2013 -- is due to complications related to COVID-19 necessitating remote working at the company.
The Direct originally planned for June was reportedly intended to be themed around Mario, and would have included the reveal of the rumored Super Mario remasters on the Nintendo Switch.

Indivisible launches on Nintendo Switch without developer's knowledge

May 4th, 2020, 22:44 Posted By: wraggster

Lab Zero's Metroidvania action-RPG Indivisible launched on the Nintendo Switch North American eshop today, surprising everyone -- including its developers.
"Feel like you missed the announcement?" said project lead Mike Zaimont on Twitter today. "You're not alone, our team found out because people on Twitter sent us congratulations! I had no idea! But there it is!"
Zaimont continued in a tweet thread, noting that while the Switch version is "great," it is an older build of the game that is missing features that were added more recently to the other platform releases of the game, including co-op and New Game+.
He concluded by apologizing, saying that the launch "does not represent the quality standards of Lab Zero" and was released without any prior release date announcement or lead-up PR.
Zaimont also commented in a reply to another Twitter user that he did not know when Switch codes for IndieGogo backers or a physical Switch version would be released.
505 has not issued an official statement, though it announced an hour ago that the game was now also available on the European eshop and that Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian versions would be launched in the future.
