The Nintendo Switch 2 has leaked… again
Boing Boing,
The Nintendo Switch 2 might just be the worst-kept secret in gaming right now. Although Nintendo has confirmed that it is coming and made broad statements on its capabilities, it's remained tight-lipped on anything else of substance… not that that has helped much. — Read the rest The post The Nintendo Switch 2 has leaked… again appeared first on Boing Boing.

Atari—once a major U.S. game maker, now a French company with a brand-licensing contract taped to a photocopier and a growing stable of interesting products and acquisitions including game developers—has filed for a U.S. trademark on Rogue. Dating to 1980, Rogue is a classic dungeon-crawling computer game whose simple yet evocative text-based graphics spawned a genre leading to modern hits such Dwarf Fortress and "roguelites" such as Diablo. — Read the rest The post Atari files for trademark on Rogue, a 44-year old game it did not make and does not appear to own appeared first on Boing Boing.
