Nintendo is being sued again by Gamevice on the claim the design of the Nintendo Switch and its Joy-Con controllers infringes the design of Gamevice patents for controllers that also slide onto handheld gaming devices. The nature of the complaint is the same as one Gamevice filed in August 2017 and withdrew two months later. It alleges that Nintendo was fully aware of two patents Gamevice held for designs that affix joystick controllers to opposite sides of a mobile device. The lawsuit Gamevice

Nintendrew, the YouTube Nintendo enthusiast/all-star, whipped up a “Nintendo 64 Classic Edition” last June. That still needed ventilation and a USB hub that could support four controllers like the original GameCube. That said, an N64 Classic Edition trademark registration was spotted last summer, so maybe we’ll see Nintendrew’s stab at that come to life.

Scientific investigations have only just begun to explore why some people rea

If you’ve ever imagined Deadpool in the context of a 1990s adult contemporary ballad — and, really, who hasn’t — then boy does Celine Dion have the video for you. In it she belts out “Ashes,” Deadpool 2’s title track, while Deadpool lurks in the obligatory empty concert hall. He was a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent in 2014 and is the new choreographer of Cirque du Soleil’s Zumanity show in Las Vegas. But really, let’s not let Celine Dion — of all people — be overshadowed here. Josh Brolin, fre

Fortnite Battle Royale’s “Replay Royale” contest — announced with the introduction of the moviemaking replay toolkit last month — is over and the winners have been announced. But they couldn’t overtake clubhouse leader Enzait, who turned in their masterpiece 10 days after the replay system went live. Dancin’ fool LaffenGas’s “Boogie Royale” was a very close second for our money. The finalists won an Atomos Ninja Flame HDMI recording monitor, an Alienware Advanced Gaming Keyboard and Mouse, and 5

Conan O’Brien’s “Clueless Gamer” bits occasionally induce eye-rolling, especially when the butt of every joke is, Aren’t games silly? The latest installment of Clueless Gamer, however, is a little bit different. It doesn’t hurt that Bill Hader is along for the ride. Neither clueless gamer gets very far in the actual game, meaning there’s little time to see the relationship between Kratos and Atreus develop. Neither seem too impressed by the time their game session is over, but as Hader said, “I

The online guides for this challenge are hilarious, often just stating that you need to find a Port-a-Fort chest and use it to fulfill the challenge.
