Red Dead Redemption is finally headed to PS4 and Nintendo Switch, on August 17. No, this isn't a remake or that long-rumoured remastered version, but rather a port of the original 2010 game, and includes the Undead Nightmare zombie add-on. Rockstar Games' Western epic was originally launched on the PS3 and Xbox 360, after which it was made compatible to run on newer Xbox consoles via backwards compatibility. Double Eleven Studios — known for working on the Lego Harry Potter games and Minecraft Dungeons — is responsible for this new port, which they're calling a ‘conversion.' The studio was founded by ex-Rockstar developers.
Dolphin Nintendo emulator no longer releasing on Steam, as team abandons effort
20.07.2023 - 15:05 / eurogamer.net / Nintendo
GameCube and Wii emulator Dolphin is no longer coming to Steam, as the team behind it is «abandoning» its efforts.
The emulator was first announced to be coming to Steam earlier this year, with the team behind it calling this a «product of many months of work».
However, a few months down the line, the team has dropped plans to launch Dolphin on Valve's platform. In a blog update detailing this decision, the Dolphin team addressed the recently-reported DMCA takedown, stating Nintendo «did not send Valve or Dolphin a Digital Millennium Copyright Act», nor has it «taken any legal action against Dolphin Emulator or Valve».
Rather, a lawyer representing Nintendo contacted Valve and requested it «prevent Dolphin from releasing on the Steam store, citing the DMCA as justification».
The team behind the Dolphin emulator was subsequently told by the platform holder it had to come to an agreement with Nintendo before it could release the emulator on Steam.
«Considering the strong legal wording at the start of the document and the citation of DMCA law, we took the letter very seriously,» the Dolphin team wrote, before announcing it would no longer release its emulator on Steam.
«Valve ultimately runs the store and can set any condition they wish for software to appear on it. But given Nintendo's long-held stance on emulation, we find Valve's requirement for us to get approval from Nintendo for a Steam release to be impossible,» it wrote.
«Unfortunately, that's that.»
The team went on to state it does «not believe that Dolphin is in any legal danger» following this decision, and that «Valve did not make any claims [Dolphin was] violating a US copyright by including the Wii Common Key» in its emulation.
«In the end, Valve is the one

Be Attitude for Gains, Raidant Silvergun Coming to Steam - Hardcore Gamer
It’s hard to overestimate how strong a developer Treasure used to be, back when it was producing a few new games a year. While there were a couple of misfires like Stretch Panic, Treasure put out one classic after another even if the sales were rarely there to reward the quality. Sin & Punishment, Bangai-O, Guardian Heroes, Mischief Makers, Gunstar Heroes, Astro Boy: Omega Factor, and more were must-have games, but eventually the company wound down. The only thing Treasure does nowadays is the occasional port of its back catalog to new platforms, which is a little disappointing but also exciting thanks to its rich gaming history. The latest port was announced today and it’s one of the greatest games Treasure ever developed, Radiant Silvergun, coming to Steam.
