One The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player has taken advantage of shrine items and Zonai devices to build a vehicle inspired by sharks. Zonai devices are one of the newest additions to Tears of the Kingdom, alongside the Ultrahand ability that manipulates objects. These curious items are great for creating functional vehicles players can use to explore Hyrule.
After turning the Switch into a massive emulator, Nintendo files lawsuit implying emulators are "unlawful" and only good for piracy

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit alleging that emulators are explicitly used to "unlawfully play pirated games" away from their intended consoles, in a claim that seems to conveniently forgo the Nintendo's Switch's popularity as an emulator.
Earlier this week, Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Switch emulator Yuzu, alleging that the software had helped enable the illegal downloading of one million copies of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom prior to the game's release last summer. The company claims that a spike in Yuzu's Patreon donations after a leak of the game the week before launch was the result of people signing up to the emulator so they could play Tears of the Kingdom for free.
A copy of the lawsuit, filed on February 26 and available to view via Scribd, sees Nintendo setting out the legal definitions upon which it's built its case. That's traditional legal practice, but one bit that's caught people's eyes is its explanation of exactly what an emulator is. In only the second paragraph, Nintendo writes that "a video game emulator is a piece of software that allows users to unlawfully play pirated video games that were published only for a specific console on a general-purpose computing device."

Halo Infinite Player Turns Their Spartan Into a Giant Needler
A clever Halo Infinite player recently transformed their in-game avatar into a living Needler gun with a custom outfit inspired by the legendary weapon. The long-running Halo franchise is home to some of the most iconic firearms in sci-fi gaming, either as standard issue UNSC equipment that the Master Chief brings with him at the start of a mission or the more exotic Covenant weaponry he takes from enemy forces on the battlefield. Among the latter is the Needler, a handgun that fires explosive crystal shards at its target.
