Translators contracted from firms outside of Nintendo have complained about not being credited for their work on high-profile games from the Mario maker, including The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario RPG.
Speaking with Game Developer, anonymous sources who worked for external translator agencies on Nintendo’s projects said they had been left off credits. In addition, sources said they had been asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement which prevented them from talking about their work for 10 years.
“I kind of accepted [miscrediting] as ‘part of the business’ but that doesn’t mean it’s fair or right,” one source who worked on Nintendo projects through service providers Localsoft and Keywords told the publication. …
If the absence of any positive Dead Space 2 remake news has been getting you down, there’s at least one new way to get a bit of Necromorph in your life right now, even if it’s probably not quite what fans were hoping for. EA’s sci-fi horror series is the focus of a new Battlefield 2024 limited-time PvE mode, Outbreak, which is available to play now.
Outbreak, described as a “high-intensity survival mode”, pits up to four players against hordes of Augmented Targets (which regrettably look more like slightly fleshy crash test dummies than Necromorphs) as they travel across the Redacted map toward their extraction point.

Read more Guess what, Tarnished? We’ve all been saying Elden Ring DLC’s “Scadutree” incorrectly.
According to VaatiVidya’s fascinating video Amazing Secrets in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, scadu is derived from ancient English and is pronounced “sha-doe” rather than “ska-doo”… which, let’s face it, makes much more sense given the DLC’s subtitle.

Read moreStarfield’s first major story expansion, Shattered Space, is now here, opening up a new, aggressively purple corner of the galaxy for players to explore – and its arrival has been marked with the launch of a big new patch bringing a sweep of fixes to the base game.
Patch-wise, update 1.14.70 is fairly lacking in eye-catching headline additions, although it does promise the likes of performance and stability improvements (always welcome), game-wide lighting changes and enhancements,visual updates for weapon models, improved player head tracking when exiting dialogue, and more. That’s on top of a chunky list of more specific fixes throughout the game, as detailed in Bethesda’s patch notes – and, for those who want to preserve their clicking fingers, at the bottom…
