Today’s Nintendo Direct. – Highlights & Announcements.
We’re due for a Nintendo Direct this Summer. Already announced by Nintendo, this presentation does not cover the “Switch 2,” and its capabilities. However, plenty of games for the Nintendo Switch were showcased, including those that everyone had been anticipating, like Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and even Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition.
From Collaboration to Competition. – The History of The PlayStation Partnership.
Nintendo versus Sony, two of the three largest console manufacturers and rivalries in the gaming industry. At times, Sony took the lead in the market share with the PS2 and Nintendo at others with the Wii. At one point, however, this wasn’t the case. The two formally agreed to make gaming Hardware together.
From Hacktivision to DDoS. – The 2011 PlayStation Network Outage.
n early April of 2011, the Hacktivist group Anonymous brought down Sony’s PlayStation Network with a Targeted Distributed-Denial-of-Service attack. (DDoS) Anonymous had warned Sony of retaliation after Sony took legal action against George Hotz, known as “GeoHot,” and Alexander Igorrenknov, known as “Graf_Chokolo.”
Pretendo Network in 2024. – What’s New.
Nintendo Network for the Wii U and 3DS is just weeks away from shutting down. The eShop for both consoles was recently discontinued, and we’re less than one month away from the demise of its online services. If you may remember however alternative servers are currently in development. Pretendo Network is a fan replacement server for Nintendo Network which not only preserves online functionality but also preserves Miiverse, Nintendo’s discontinued social network for Wii U and 3DS systems.
