For those titles, will not be an indie world.
WCC up-tech did say that Nintendo will host the indie world showcase tomorrow
and they will show off a lot of different indie games.
Now, this is going to start out at 9 AM Eastern Time.
And this will be about 15 minutes long and will provide some updates on some of the indie games.
That will be going to both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
And this will be the first world event since the last one took place on August 7th last year.
Nintendo of America got up on Twitter, SlashX.
And said, quote,
Join us tomorrow March 3rd at 6 AM Pacific Time for a new indie world showcase.
Tune in for roughly 15 minutes of news and updates on indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2
and Nintendo Switch. It's up on YouTube.
Just don't steal anything while you're there.
PC gamers said that a UK game collector was rated by the police after purchasing 10,000 pounds
of hardware including some old dev kits, the Sega ones.
The collector is dearest calm and he purchased a hardware lot from an e-way subcontractor
for 10,000 pounds.
This included the dev kits, controllers, autographed copies of games,
and even the prototype cartridges sometime after the listing of parts
to find the sales online.
The UK police and rated cons property alleging that Sega had the dev kits
has been stolen.
Darius Khan recounted the raid to gamers nexus.
Quote, 7 o'clock in the morning approximately bang bang bang on the door.
I look through the people, I see a bunch of police.
Probably four or five police officers.
I open the door and I'm told Mr. Khan you're under arrest for money laundering.
We're here to seize the dev kits.
End quote.
Now Khan is yet to be charged with the criminal offense yet.
So here is what PC gamer notes.
Sega moved its UK head offices from Brentford to Chiswick, London last year.
And they hired an e-waste company, Waste to Wonder,
to dispose the hardware what was left behind in the old office building.
The company hired a subcontractor then took the lot,
which they contained the dev kits and more.
They went to an export yard that processes the way the waste was to be sold
to the various buyers across Africa.
And Khan negotiated the deal with the e-way subcontractor
to buy the discarded hardware before it could be processed.
He was then listing parts of Vind on both eBay and Facebook Marketplace,
which did include Sony, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and then Nintendo DS.
And Wii U dev kits.
The video game preservation museum also did start some fundraising to purchase the lot.
Now Darius was also contacted by someone by the name of Paul,
who did claim to be interested in the dev kits he had for sale.
The man was actually a private investigator working with Fusion 85,
an agency that specializes in protecting the contextual property.
Fusion 85 worked with Nintendo in the past,
though has not been confirmed who Fusion 85 was working with with regards to
investigating the dev kits.
Paul then did visit Darius.
It is home to inspect and take photographs of the hardware
that in July 2025,
10 playing closed officers knocked on Darius' door.
The officers compensated the dev kits
and the prototype cartridges from Darius' home.
And Darius was held by the police for eight hours
during which Khan did the ledge.
The police asked him to sign a form reliquishing his ownership of the dev kits,
which he did refuse.
So Sega hired another firm, the ITRS Secure,
to specifically the both dispose of the computer hardware.
Wasted wonders, denied anything, and everything.
In fact, they said, quote,
IT equipment was not in scope,
and we were never allowed subcontractors to sell items.
We no longer work with that subcontractor.
So that did happen.
Among that may have been stillerblade.
No, no, no, no, no, it wasn't stillerblade.
But pushsquare.com to say that stillerblade,
well, the makers of it may be making a sequel without Sony's help.
Now, Sony and PlayStation did help make stillerblade.
But, shipped up, which is the studio behind stillerblade,
is reportedly piring people to self-publish the projects
in accordance to the Korean outlet Game Mecha, via automation,
that goes with the fresh job listing for the developer,
promising, quote,
a new leap forward in the global market.
We aim to expand our self-publishing capabilities
to support internally developed titles across consoles and PC,
and shipped up, they did become publicly traded company back in 2024.
And the CEO, Taeyong Kim,
did suggest that it would continue to prioritize game development
and could bring the company to self-publishing in the future.
Well, let's see what happens.
Good luck.
And to all of you, especially if you play World of Warcraft,
PC Games N did say that the World of the Worldcraft Midnight
will boost the profession knowledge gains,
and that would counter all of the early access people.
So, early access is here for World of Warcraft.
And there's a split between players who's just up to get
in a few days faster,
and those who didn't,
although I would be a little contentious.
But so, because of that, Blizzard said
they could afford a double stack of knowledge gains
in the first week of, wow, Midnight's full launch.
But not everybody's happy about it,
because the change did frustrate some of the people who are already playing.
So, the community manager, Randy Calvax,
Jordan did say, quote,
to account for the acquisition of knowledge in early access,
two weeks worth of knowledge will be granted to players from activities,
crafting orders, treasure drops, patron orders, gathering,
during the first full week of Midnight, end quote.
Now, that runs from the launch date of Tuesday, March 3rd,
and will last until Tuesday, March 10th.
So, it starts tomorrow.
Now, based on the wording,
it sounds as like everyone will benefit
with his double up knowledge reward.
And the early starters will not lose anything
working through the professions checklist,
and no bonuses mentioned in the first time crafts.
And some people are not pleased.
There are some knowledge bonuses
that early access players have been learning
are just once available,
because when it's available, it's there.
And you guys know that.
The one that uses the name tickle
under the blue post said, quote,
we should be getting a refund
because of the whole point of early access
was spending more money to start earlier
and get ahead by launch.
Now, this new hot fix also did
after some bugs.
That was causing a bind on equipped item
to have a minimum level requirement
10 below the intended amount.
Some of the shop items were listed
at 750 Voidlight Mar,
and they were overpriced,
so the price did drop to just 25 gold.
Good luck if you're playing the game,
and you can let me know
if that's a good move or a bad one.
At Joe Brums on Twitter and Blue Sky.
Now, we are not gods.
Are we in the middle of the Blizzard Dubs?
But got a war maybe getting a spinoff
and it might already been in the works.
Polygon.com did say that.
They said that Fey may be in it,
and Sony Santa, Santa Monica.
Yeah, and I said Santa, Santa Monica.
Could have her own game.
The reason why we're saying that
is because Nate the Hate got up on X
and said that Sony's Santa Monica's new game
will be in the God of War universe
with Fey as the lead.
And there would be some greater emphasis
on action in some previous entries.
So there's information around the leak
as further confirmed by IGN.
Bloomberg reported that Jason Shryer
previously shared that Santa Monica
Sony's Santa Monica was working on a new project,
but not a new IP.
So could this be a thing?
Well, the reveal of the game, the Centering on Fey,
was the surprise of the giant proportions.
Fey is first introduced as dead
and is later cremated with very little time
with her character.
So back in 2018, Kratos and Ataurus
degree of over the loss of Fey,
which brought them closer together.
Because they thought that she was just even more tall woman.
But both of them did discover that Fey was a fresh giant
but it possessed the power of foresight
and concealed it from her family.
Players did learn more about Fey
through Kratos' dreams.
Got a word, Ragnarok revealing how close they were.
They were with their relationship
in the effect of her death.
So if this game comes out, it'll be a prequel not a sequel.
At least that's what the thought is.
Would you play it?
I know what people have been playing.
Resident Evil Requiem.
And it is doing well.
In fact, IGN made a post saying that
it got a 9.5 score on Metacrigot critic.
And that tide, last year's hit,
Clarebscure Expedition 33.
But it went past Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher 3,
and Disney Cori in the house.
Because all three of those games got 9.3.
Well, that included Silent Hill 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3.
Now, the scores could be manipulated.
IGN pointed out Disney Cori.
But the fans are loving Resident Evil Requiem
because it has an overwhelmingly positive review on Steam.
In fact, Resident Evil got a 9 out of 10.
And IGN said, quote,
like the result of an experiment conducted
in an underground umbrella corporation lab,
Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices
two separate strains of survival horror together
into the one highly infectious new mutation.
End quote.
Resident Evil's Requiem overall Metascore is 88,
which is not enough to get to the Metacritic's top
250 games of all time.
A Resident Evil 4 is there with score 96.
But right now, it's behind Pokemon Pokepia right now.
Oh, so what could happen?
Ooh, what could happen?
Hmm, yeah, that's gonna be that.
I bet you love in that game, Resident Evil.
And that's already on PlayStation.
But Starfield will be there soon.
GameSpot.com did say that Starfield will be arriving
on PlayStation on April 7th with two additions.
And Deal Labs, they claim that the options are named
Standard and Premium instead of Standard and Deluxe.
Deal Labs also added the pricing,
which is going to cost around $60, $80 for the big one.
Please, Chelsea.
Now they're also gonna get a new story DLC.
In fact, Todd Howard, yeah, you know us those guys did say, quote,
I think it's the kind of thing where if you like Starfield,
we think you're going to love this.
That's what he told kind of funny there last month.
We'll see what happens if you want a headset from Marathon.
There's still time to get one.
That's for PlayStation people.
Gamesradar.com did say that the,
those headsets are still available.
They're at $170 through the PlayStation Direct.
Well, that goes with the controller too.
The controller is $85.
So if you want it, it's there for you.
Not leaving all of you Xbox people out of it.
No, there's some games are coming to Xbox this month.
And you might want to pay attention
to get some of these games can be really good.

That's the game.
Moonlight Peaks is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
And that's from Exceeds Games and Little Chicken.
Now this is a supernatural life sim because you're playing as a vampire in a magical town.
You'll be racing some props, learning some spellcasting, and push and making.

Yep, you're a vampire.
