Nintendo has filed two copyright claims against videos by a YouTuber who has been hacking the Super Mario Bros 35th Anniversary edition of its Game & Watch handheld.
The device was launched in November as part of the franchise's anniversary, and features both the original NES game and its Japanese sequel, known in the West as Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.
A YouTuber going by the handle 'Stacksmashing' is among those who have been hacking the device to run other games, including the original Legend of Zelda, the first generation Pokémon Games and classic shooter Doom.
He has been posting videos demonstrating this but revealed via Twitter that two of his videos faced copyright claims and are no longer available to watch.
While the Content ID system used on YouTube to identify copyrighted material is usually automatic, Stacksmashing noted in another tweet that these videos had been manually targeted by a representative at Nintendo.

Nearly 6 million Nintendo Switch consoles were sold in Japan last year, a rise of 30% over 2019.
Nintendo dominated the market, with Switch devices accounting for 87% of all consoles sold last year (6.85 million machines were sold overall). The normal Switch version sold 3.9 million units, while the Switch Lite sold just over 2 million units.
The console sold well ahead of PS4, which did just over 543,000 units last year. PS5, meanwhile, is currently on just over 255,000 units.
According to the Famitsu data, Japan's games market generated over $3.5bn, which is up 12.5% over 2019. The biggest growth area was console hardware, which is up 16.4% to $1.8bn, while boxed game sales grew 9% to £1.75bn. Famitsu states that it's the first time since 2017 where both areas of the market grew.

m64p (2021/01/04) is released. m64p uses mupen64plus-gui, a brand new mupen64plus frontend written in Qt5. It supports all thing things you’d expect from a frontend (savestate management, pausing, screenshots, etc..). m64p comes bundled with GLideN64 for the graphics plugin. It should give you the best out-of-the-box experience available for N64 gaming.
m64p changelog:
Updates to Angrylion (https://github.com/ata4/angrylion-rd...eases/tag/v1.6)
A few updates for GLideN64, including pixel coverage emulation support. It's off by default, there is a new option in the video settings if you want to try it out:

Nintendulator 0.985 beta (2021/01/06) is released. Nintendulator is an open source Win32 NES emulator written in C (plus some assembly optimization). The original goal was to emulate the NES down to its hardware quirks; though it's fallen behind over the years, recent builds have caught up once again and can emulate certain behaviors most other emulators neglect to handle. However, this emulation precision comes at a price - a 1500MHz (estimated) or faster CPU is required to emulate at full speed.
Supported file formats include .NES, UNIF, FDS (fwNES format), and NSF. Mappers are handled using external DLLs, complete with extra sound channels for most games which provide them. Other notable features include writing to FDS images (by storing the differences in the SRAM folder), Game Genie support (limited to 3 codes), customizeable controllers (including 4 player), input movie recording and playback (with re-recording), AVI capturing, and a debugger.

The 42nd official version for Atmosphère, version 0.17.0, is now available from @SciresM . While it comes with several updates, the most significant one is the Fusée support for Mariko units. The developer notes that Fusée was heavily rewritten in order to add support this hardware but also points out that Mariko hardware currently have no software exploits. Fusée works when loaded from bootloader context with the right keys in the security engine. Fusée-primary was also updated in the 0.17.0 version.
This update also fixes an issue with Erista hardware in the way shutdown is performed and reduces power drain on these consoles from within Atmosphère. The full changelog since the last release can be found below:
- fusee was heavily rewritten in order to add support for Mariko hardware.
- Please Note: Mariko hardware currently has no (and may not ever have any) software exploits; fusee works when loaded from bootloader context with the right keys in the security engine. No means of getting the system into this state is provided.
- An issue was fixed in the way shutdown was performed on Erista hardware.
- This fixes an issue that caused OFW to black screen on boot after power off from atmosphere without first doing a reboot.
- This also substantially improves power drain when the system is shut off; consoles powered off from Atmosphere should now drain battery at the same reduced rate as original firmware.
- A number of minor changes were made, including:
- A number of inconsistencies in the build system were fixed.
- For those building atmosphère at home, the boot sysmodule will no longer rebuild every time make is invoked.
- This substantially improves build times during development iteration.
- sm was updated to more accurately reflect how official code manages request deferral.
- mesosphère was updated to more accurately reflect official kernel management of the trace buffer.
- mesosphère was updated to improve kernel loader's logic by taking advantage of the assumption that we only boot our kernel, not Nintendo's.
- As it has been a few months with zero reported issues, mesosphère is now opt-out.
- Users who wish to begin using or continue using mesosphere should use the standard/cool kids zip ("atmosphere-").
- Users who wish to opt-out of mesosphere should download and extract the opt-out zip ("atmosphere-WITHOUT_MESOSPHERE-").
- Several issues were fixed, and usability and stability were improved.
You can grab Atmosphère 0.17.0 via the official GitHub page linked below.

Resident Switch hacking scene member SciresM, known for his work on Atmosphere CFW, has made a curious discovery via datamining. A Nintendo Switch Pro model might actually be on the way, if you believe what he's uncovered from an update on the Switch. It should be noted that while interesting, this information does not confirm anything, and much is speculation on SciresM's part after having dug around some firmware files.
Existing under the codename of Aula, this hardware uses a Mariko SoC. It also would support both handheld and docked mode, and features "substantially" better cooling and battery life. While there's nothing concrete to fully determine, SciresM thinks that the revision would support 4K when docked, with an OLED tablet screen, as it features a Realtek chip branded as having "4K UHD multimedia SoC". If it's to be believed, then Nintendo has been working on a "Switch Pro" for over a year, which would line up with many reputable outlets repeatedly claiming that Nintendo is indeed working on a more powerful Nintendo Switch system.
Nintendo actually is working on a new model with upgraded display stuff and has been for ~1.5-2 years. I personally believe it's 4K given the signs I'm seeing in the firmware, but that's not confirmed yet and could be wrong.
Aula has firmware support some Realtek chip that advertises itself as a "4K UHD multimedia SoC", too, hence my belief it's 4K. That chip might be inside a new dock and not inside the tablet, though, there's no way to tell from the firmware code yet.
Aula explicitly supports handheld mode. It is not docked only; that's calcio, which seems like it's for internal only/never releasing since Calcio has no gamecard slot and no battery.
Checked my previous discussions with hexkyz, the upgraded tablet display is an OLED screen. Probably not higher resolution on tablet itself, so I guess the 4k realtek chip is more likely to be new dock than I thought it was.

What was once a Wii U exclusive has been removed from the platform. 2013's LEGO City: Undercover has been delisted from the Wii U eShop, along with LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins on the Nintendo 3DS, joining the ranks of Netflix and DSiWare titles in a recent removal spree occurring on older Nintendo systems. At the very least, both games had a physical release, and LEGO City: Undercover was re-released on the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4.

puNES v0.107 is released. puNES is a NES emulator. Currently the program supports mappers 0, MMC1, UNROM, CNROM, and the sound is available. It uses the SDL libraries and it works on both Linux and Windows.
puNES v0.107 Changelog
Updated translation from Crowdin (thx to Алексей Тимонин, MS-PC, tch_oscomp, Ömercan Kömür, Matheus).
Redesigned settings GUI.
Added an option to flip the screen horizontally (even when rotated).
Added an option to make the input (keyboard and controller) "follow" the orientation of the screen.
Try to replay your favorite games in this mode, you will find it fun. (Thx to eugene-s-nesdev for the idea).
Added "AxelayNES" Demo to the database.
Added spanish traslation of Ganbare Goemon Gaiden 2 to the database.
Added an option to reverse bits of DPCM (also in the NSF player).
To understand what "reverse" is for, take a look at this post http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20308.
Added the preview of the last screen image of the saved states.
Now it is always possible view the screen of the saved states when you move the mouse between the various
Slots in the "State" menu (slots with the available preview will be marked with a "*"). It's also available in the
combobox of the toolbar widget.The preview will be displayed as a tooltip.
Added, thanks to the FFMPEG libraries, the ability to create video and audio files of the game session.
The supported video formats are:
MPEG 1 Video
MPEG 2 Video
MPEG 4 Video
MPEG H264 Video
High Efficiency Video Codec
WebM Video
Windows Media Video
AVI FF Video
AVI Video
The supported audio formats are:
WAV Audio
MP3 Audio
AAC Audio
Flac Audio
Ogg Audio
The parameters relating to the recording are available in the configuration GUI.
It's possible to start a recording through the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL+A for audio and CTRL+V for video)
also from the widget located at the bottom right of the statusbar. Clicking on it with the left mouse button will
start the last type of registration, with the right button a context menu where you can select what to start.
Once the recording has started, you can stop it either with the same shortcuts with which it was started or by
clicking on the statusbar widget.
The emulator will always remember the last used settings.
Added "Raw" palette. To understand what this palette is, I use the explanation found on
Emulation General Wiki https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/i..._Color_Palette :
"option to output the raw chroma, level, and emphasis from the PPU through the RGB color channels.
This by itself produces an image with completely bizarre colors, but this can be decoded by shaders
to generate actual colors, the main examples being GTU-Famicom and nes-color-decoder".
So it's usable with all shaders that support it:
cgwg-famicom-geom.glsl, gtu-famicom.glsl or ntsc-nes.glsl that you find in the
libretro glsl-shaders repository https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders.
P.s. this works with OpenGL version.
Fixed compatibility with GLSL shaders (like MMJ_Cel_Shader.glslp or all crt-royale.glslp series).
You can find this shader at glsl-shaders https://github.com/libretro/glsl-shaders and
common-shaders https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders.
Fixed VRC7 sound pitch.
Fixed saving of window position in a multi-monitor setup (thx to baraclese for the patch).
Fixed the restoration of the hidden state of the toolbar widgets.
NSF/NSFe player. Added a new effect and revised the "bars" effect. It's now possible to move between the
various effects using the up and down of the pad or by clicking on the right or left side of the effect viewer.
Changed the help text explaining the pad commands.
Redesigned the command line help display.
On a computer where the amulator had never been started, at the first run it was started in the top left but
hiding the window frame preventing it from moving or closing. Fixed.
Now the settings window is resizable.
Fixed several bugs in the Cheat Editor and in the Input Settings.
Cheat Editor:
Fixed a possible crash that occurs when entering a new cheat.
Fixed several table display errors.
Active cheats are now easily identifiable thanks to a different color.
Fixed a bug that did not activate the selected cheat correctly.
Cheat description tooltip.
Input settings:
Minor cosmetic changes.
Fixed many many many other bugs.

For far too long, the Battle Mode in Mario Kart 64 has been limited to one elimination game mode where each player has 3 balloons, 4 courses, and only playing against human players. Battle Mode had so much untapped potential, just waiting to be unlocked.
Battle Kart 64 is an exciting new hack by Triclon that greatly expands and adds all sorts of new goodies to Battle Mode in Mario Kart 64, breathing new life into this 20+ year old multiplayer experience.
New Game Modes!
- An expanded traditional battle mode.
- “Hot Potato” featuring a timer on whoever was hit last and counts down to zero. Whoever is the “hot potato” when the timer reaches zero loses 1 HP.
- “Squish” where you need to hit, lightning shrink, and then run over the shrunken player to score.
New Scoring Modes!
- Stock scoring where you can now set set the number of hit points, instead of just having 3 balloons.
- Timed matches where whoever has the least amount of hits when the timer reaches zero wins. Ties go to sudden death.
- Team matches of 2 vs. 2 or 2 vs. 1 with both point and time scoring.
All the race courses now will load in Battle Mode!
- All 16 race courses can now be played in Battle Mode.
- Great for Koopa Troopa Beach or Kalamari Desert.
Item toggling!
- You can turn items on and off like in Super Smash Bros.
- Hate stars? Just turn them off.
CPU bots in Battle Mode!
- Now you can play battle mode by yourself.
- A lot of work has gone into making bots that will actually track you down and aim their items at you.
- Best played in Block Fort or Double Deck or on wide open race courses.
And a whole slew of other options!
- Flat courses!
- Ludicrous speed!
- And more!!
Battle Kart 64 will continue to be under active development so the future will bring even more game modes and features.

This is the story of a man who has yet to realize what destiny holds in store for him..
A full English translation of the 2008 NDS game Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (based on the hit anime of the same name) has been released!
In the distant future, mankind has lived quietly and restlessly underground for hundreds of years, subject to earthquakes and cave-ins. Living in one such village are 2 young men: one named Simon who is shy and naïve, and the other named Kamina who believes in the existence of a “surface” world above their heads. The destiny of these two starts moving drastically when the ceiling of their village falls in, and a gigantic “Gunmen” and a beautiful girl named Yoko, wielding a superconductive rifle, come from the surface. Together, Kamina, Simon and Yoko ride the mecha “Lagann” that Simon digs out of the ground, and fly up to the surface!
A retelling of the anime’s storyline, the game features some alternative and exclusive content, including 3 new characters and an extra ending.
Fans may recognise two of the new characters, originally known as “Tetori” and “Ziggitalis” from the OVA (also known as Episode 5.5), which was bundled with the limited-edition release of the game and fan-subbed by Nyoro~n. In celebration of the patch release, they were remastered by the team and are available for download on Phantom’s tumblr.
Full of the humour, action and the boundless optimism that made the anime a hit, this game is a must-play for new or old fans alike!
