Pure Nintendo Podcast E66 | Nintendo Direct breakdown!

Nintendo introduces new IPs from time to time, but the company is certainly known for its franchises. Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and Animal Crossing are just some of the series that fans have come to love over the many years that the Big N has been around. According to Nintendo’s Shinya...

Nintendo says it’s considering both sequels and new IPs

Industry analyst Mat Piscatella has predicted that PlayStation has one more generation of physical media support, while Nintendo possibly has two. The Executive Director and Video Game Industry Advisor at Circana (NPD) commented on a statement from Josh Fairhurst, CEO at Limited Run Games. The latter reminded fans of Tomb Raider I-III Remastered that the game’s Xbox version is not planned for release at traditional retail, and the Collector’s Edition is their only chance to get a physical version for the platform. Piscatella stated that gaming audiences should probably get used to there being no physical Xbox versions of games across the market sooner rather than later.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

3 Zodiac Signs Who Are Two-Faced

Donkey Kong is one of Nintendo’s most-recognized characters and franchises, but it turns out that the name could have gone in a different direction. You may recall that in 1983, Nintendo and Universal were going head to head in court over the IP. Universal wasn’t happy with “Donkey Kong”, feeling that it was based on King Kong. Nintendo won in the end, and the final name stuck after a judge determined that it was “at best” a parody.

Donkey Kong could have been called “Kong Dong”, plus other proposed names

Working the farm, forming relationships with the townsfolk, and just enjoying the vibe are what make Stardew Valley such a great game to settle into. Easygoing games like this have become incredibly popular — especially for those who don’t typically play games — but it can be hard to find more that offer that same type of experience if you don’t know where to look. The farming and life-sim genre has become a bit bloated as of late with games not quite as polished or fully featured as you would hope. We’ve worked the land and harvested only the ripest games like Stardew Valley to satisfy your desire for more farming-sim goodness.

Apple Passwords packs all the essentials, and sports a clean design, but can it replace your password manager?. “Sherlocked” is a term often bandied about for third-party apps killed by Apple when it introduces new OS features that overlap with or completely overshadow the apps that preceded them. While there were plenty of instances of Sherlocking at Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference 2024 (WWDC), the long-rumored introduction of a new password manager app for iOS 18 was one of the most obvious examples. To make matters worse for rival services, though, Apple is making the Passwords app available across iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Windows, making it a true cross-platform play.

Apple Passwords is great, but I'm sticking with other password managers for now
