June 5 will mark the launch of Nintendo’s new hybrid console, the Switch 2, which is coming to compete in the world of streaming and multiplayer.

In addition to the hardware, the video game company will also release titles like Mario Kart World, which will allow up to 24 players simultaneously.

It has been indicated that the new product not only evolves from a technical standpoint, as the new console is larger, faster, and backwards compatible. At first glance, it reveals similarities with its predecessor, but also changes, such as the “7.9-inch screen, with 1080p resolution, capable of reaching 120 frames per second,” to offer higher definition and greater fluidity in gameplay.

Nintendo has emphasized that the Switch 2 can be used as a portable console or “connected to the TV to play from the couch. It’s also compatible with the entire first-generation game library, a detail many users have been eagerly awaiting.”

Regarding the controllers, they are still called Joy-Con, but in the new version, they attach magnetically to the sides of the screen for ease of use and improved stability. Additionally, they can function as a mouse if placed on a flat surface.

The console includes 256 GB of internal storage and a new button for online play, called the C button, to activate an application called Game Chat that will facilitate communication between friends.

Another new feature is the improved microphone; support for split-screen over the internet. This makes it easier for multiple players to share a game in real time from different locations, and a camera that will allow video streaming of the player while playing.

The French authorities, through La Autorité, a local competition body, have determined that Sony must pay a multimillion-dollar fine for blocking PS4 controllers for years.

The Japanese giant, in all its subsidiaries, will have to pay 13.5 million euros (14.8 million dollars). This means that it applies to Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe Limited, Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc. K.K and Sony Interactive Entertainment France.

It all started with the complaint of Subsonic, a French video game accessory manufacturer, about the obstacles imposed by Sony before the authorities. “Following an indication from Subsonic, a French video game controller manufacturer, the Authority has fined Sony for abusing its dominant position in the market for the supply of video game controllers for PlayStation 4 for more than four years.”

The investigation found that Sony used two anti-competitive practices to block third-party PS4 controllers. The first consists of “a series of technical measures whose purpose was to combat piracy of original PS4 accessories. Through software, they could cause third-party controllers to disconnect when the console updated its operating system. Although the regulator recognizes that this measure was intended to combat product counterfeiting, they also consider that Sony abused its system to block unlicensed controls.”

Second, it implemented an “unclear policy on how a third party could obtain authorization to manufacture and market controllers for the PS4. Because of this, it was easier for Sony to exclude smaller companies from joining its licensing program.”

La Autorité, the French regulatory body, estimated that both methods implemented by Sony caused significant damage to the brand image of the affected third-party manufacturers, hindering their expansion in the market and causing their possible exclusion.

At the beginning of last December, the CEO of Microsoft Gaming and head of Xbox, Phil Spencer, announced via Twitter that the company had “acquired a commitment” to bring the video game developed by Activision Blizzard to the products of the Japanese company Nintendo after its merger with the American developer.

In this same announcement, Spencer also confirmed that he had committed “to continue offering Call of Duty on Steam concurrently with Xbox after closing the merger with Activision Blizzard King.”

The manager announced these agreements in the framework of an investigation by which different authorized bodies analyze the legitimacy of the purchase agreement of the American video game developer, something that is strongly opposed by its main competitor, Sony, which manufactures PlayStation.

The president of Microsoft, Brad Smith, who this Tuesday presents the arguments for which they believe this acquisition should be approved at a hearing of the European Commission, has now announced the signing of a partnership with the manufacturer of Nintendo Switch.

“Microsoft and Nintendo have negotiated and signed a ten-year binding agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players the same day as Xbox, with all features and content parity,” the manager said via Twitter.

Smith has insisted that this agreement will allow owners of Nintendo platforms “to experience Call Of Duty like Xbox and PlayStation players” and has recalled his commitment to “give long-term access to the game to other platforms.”

Flickr has announced a new category for sharing photos on its platform dedicated to the captures that users can make within video games with the photo mode.

Video games like Death Stranding, Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild include a photo mode, a tool with which players can capture the countries, the milestones reached or the new friendships that the protagonists make.

Its popularity has grown as it has been incorporated into more titles, which has led the Flickr platform to introduce a section dedicated to video game screenshots.

Under the name of virtual photography, this section will bring together the snapshots taken “within a video game or in a virtual environment”, as stated in a statement published on his blog.

Specifically, this new section was created with two types of content in mind: video game photos and content shared by the Second Life community.

Logitech G, the ‘gaming’ division of the electronics manufacturer, and Tencent Games have announced that they are collaborating on the development of a new portable console to enjoy the Cloud Gaming experience.

In this collaboration announcement shared by Logitech, the company has indicated that this device, available later this year, “will combine Logitech G’s experience in ‘hardware’ with Tencent Games’ experience in ‘software’ services”.

In this way, this new portable console will support “multiple cloud gaming services”, since Logitech G and Tencent are working with the Xbox Cloud Gaming and Nvidia GeForce Now teams so that gamers can access these titles without the need to be connected to a console or a PC.

In this writing, Logitech assures that both companies share a mutual vision of the future of games and that they are committed to ensuring that the quality of the experience is combined “seamlessly” with ‘gaming’ services in the cloud.

At the moment, no further details have been released about the device, neither its appearance nor the components that it will integrate, the manufacturer has made a link available to users so that those interested can subscribe to the latest updates on the console development process.

Audio-Technica, the sound brand launched the ATH-GL3 and ATH-GDL3 headphone models that, with their design and sound quality, are especially aimed at gamers.

The market associates the brand with audiophiles or music fans, but with the ATH-GL3 and ATH-GDL3 models, they want to express their decision to venture into solutions aimed at gamers, offering them two types of design, one open and the other closed.

In these headphones, sound quality remains a priority. The design and functionality of the models are quite similar, but the ATH-GL3 are closed-back headphones and therefore offer superior sound isolation, blocking out external noise.

While the ATH-GDL3 have an open exterior, with a grille that exposes the transducers. That means these headphones let external sound in, but in return the sound they produce is more natural.

New headset for gamers

In both headphones, the manufacturer provided 45 mm diameter transducers. They are devices of a light construction of about 230 grams. They have a flexible arm and highly directional pickup, with a flexible and detachable microphone, as well as the pads and headband.

Additionally, they have volume and mute controls built into the earpiece, like many Audio-Technica models. On the other hand, users will be able to completely disassemble the headphones, removing the cables and the microphone, and they will also be able to replace the ear cushions and the headband.

To celebrate International Women’s Day, which takes place every March 8, as well as the month of the History of women, Xbox announced the creation of a mentoring program in which some of the most important professionals in the field of videogames.

This event aims to “raise and support the next generation of women in videogames”, as indicated by the Executive Producer of Rare and member of the Women of Xbox UK community, Louise O’Connor, in a statement.

In order to carry this out, the support of data from the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has been requested, which warns that 45 % of players identify themselves as women. However, she stressed that the representation of female characters in these titles is insufficient.

She also said that among videogame developers, only 30 % are identified as a woman worldwide. Enough to undertake this project for women “Gamers”.

O’Connor highlighted the commitment that Xbox maintains for the creation of a community “in which everyone is welcome to play and create a space in which it is safe to do it.”
